Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the middle meningeal artery (PMMA) is rare. Its rupture is associated with high mortality, so an early diagnosis is recommended for this risky condition. In the absence of a specific guideline, computed tomography (CT), digital subtraction angiography, and CT angiography (CTA) are proposed for its diagnosis. CTA is the technique of choice even if it is almost never performed, especially in mild head injury. We report a rare case of a delayed rupture of PMMA, analyzed from a forensic point of view. METHODS Fifteen days after mild blunt head trauma, characterized by temporal fracture and a small hemorrhage near the rim, a wide intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) occurred. The onset of IPH was marked by neurologic deterioration and arm paralysis. Immediate head CT showed IPH, and CTA showed PMMA. Prompt surgery could not help patient survival. The goal of autopsy was to formulate the cause of death and to individuate potential medical negligence. RESULTS In the literature, 16 cases of 54 are related to PMMA (26%) and are associated with IPH. IPH can be acute or delayed. Eight cases of acute IPH and 8 cases of delayed IPH (including our case), both coexisting with PMMA, are described. The literature review showed that the association of temporal rim fracture and a small hemorrhage nearby is highly predictive of PMMA formation. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, in the presence of these 2 risk factors after heat trauma, CTA is strongly suggested.

Abstract
Purpose To ascertain the annual incidence rate and the clinical features, other than visual outcome, of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in Parma, northern Italy. METHODS Neurologic care of people living in the Parma area is entirely provided by one private and two public hospitals. Medical records related to IIH were retrospectively reviewed for all Parma residents from 1990 through 1999. Results Ten patients (8 women and 2 men) were identified as having IIH according to modified Dandy criteria. Their age ranged from 16 to 53 years with a mean of 36 years at diagnosis. The annual age-adjusted rate per 100,000 is 0.28 for the total population. For women in reproductive age, the annual incidence rate is 0.65/100,000. For overweight women in reproductive age, the annual incidence rate is 2.7/100,000. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate found in this study is lower than the incidence reported in previous US and Libyan studies. A significant difference in overweight distribution is observed comparing percentage of body weight between US and Parma populations. As overweight and obesity are important factors contributing to IIH development, it is possible that their low percentage in the Parma population may, at least partially, explain the low IIH incidence observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The approval of 9-δ-tetrahydocannabinol and cannabidiol (THC:CBD) oromucosal spray (Sativex) for the management of treatment-resistant multiple sclerosis (MS) spasticity opened a new opportunity for many patients. The aim of our study was to describe Sativex effectiveness and adverse events profile in a large population of Italian patients with MS in the daily practice setting. METHODS We collected data of all patients starting Sativex between January 2014 and February 2015 from the mandatory Italian medicines agency (AIFA) e-registry. Spasticity assessment by the 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS) scale is available at baseline, after 1 month of treatment (trial period), and at 3 and 6 months. RESULTS A total of 1615 patients were recruited from 30 MS centres across Italy. After one treatment month (trial period), we found 70.5% of patients reaching a ≥20% improvement (initial response, IR) and 28.2% who had already reached a ≥30% improvement (clinically relevant response, CRR), with a mean NRS score reduction of 22.6% (from 7.5 to 5.8). After a multivariate analysis, we found an increased probability to reach IR at the first month among patients with primary and secondary progressive MS, (n=1169, OR 1.4 95% CI 1.04 to 1.9, p=0.025) and among patients with >8 NRS score at baseline (OR 1.8 95% CI 1.3-2.4 p<0.001). During the 6 months observation period, 631(39.5%) patients discontinued treatment. The main reasons for discontinuation were lack of effectiveness (n=375, 26.2%) and/or adverse events (n=268, 18.7%). CONCLUSIONS Sativex can be a useful and safe option for patients with MS with moderate to severe spasticity resistant to common antispastic drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Prostate Cancer Specific Quality of Life Instrument (PROSQOLI) is a measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in advanced hormone-resistant prostate cancer. In this study, we aimed at performing a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Italian version of the PROSQOLI. PATIENTS AND METHODS The original version of the PROSQOLI underwent several turnarounds of translations. A total of 472 patients treated with radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy or medical therapy were enrolled for the validation of the questionnaire. The PROSQOLI was administered together with the SF-12. Reliability indexes were calculated by using Cronbach alpha. To evaluate the validity of the construct, relationships between PROSQOLI and SF12 were assessed. The ANOVA test was used to evaluate the differences between groups of patients who had received different treatments. RESULTS The reliability coefficient was 0.91. Item-to-total correlation indices were in most cases >0.70. The correlation between the scores of the PROSQOLI and those of the SF-12 questionnaire was high (r=0.8139, p<0.0001). The ANOVA test showed significant differences between groups (p<0.01) based on age, recurrence risk and treatment. CONCLUSIONS The adaptation process showed that the PROSQOLI Italian version has high reliability and presents both convergent and discriminant validity. This version of the tool can be used to assess HRQoL in Italian men who underwent radical treatment for advanced prostate cancer.

Abstract
Hymenoptera stings may be responsible for both local and systemic reactions; these can be immediate or delayed, depending on the time between the sting and the development of signs or symptoms. Delayed clinical reactions have been reported, although unusual, due to serum sickness and/or affecting organs or systems generally not involved in the immediate reaction, such as heart, kidneys, central and peripheral nervous systems. This paper describes the clinical and immunological findings in a 51-year-old subject, who, after two stings of paper wasps, the second one after the third venom immunotherapy (VIT) injection, presented immediate large local and systemic allergic ractions which quickly improved after e.v. methilprednisolone administration. About 40 hours later, he developed acute polyradiculoneuropathy with muscle weakness, paresthesia, difficulties in standing up and walking. Skin tests and specific IgE determination showed allergy to paper wasp. The activation, by wasp venom, of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in primary culture, evaluated by tritiated thymidine incorporation proliferation assay, showed an important hypersensitivity to wasp venom. Therefore our results suggest the hypothesis that the polyradiculoneurtis causative etiopathogenetic mechanism might be a delayed immunological response to wasp antigens followed by an allergy-triggered autoimmune reaction, as previously suggested by other authors; they found lymphocytic infiltrates in demyelinization areas and at perivascular levels, by histologic examination of autoptical and bioptical material of patients with nervous system lesions after hymenoptera stings.

Abstract
Background: The relevance of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G in dimeric form in multiple sclerosis (MS) is still unknown. Objective: To investigate the contribution of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) HLA-G dimers in MS pathogenesis. Methods: CSF amounts of 78-kDa HLA-G dimers were measured by western blot analysis in 80 MS relapsing–remitting MS (RRMS) patients and in 81 inflammatory and 70 non-inflammatory controls. Results: CSF amounts of 78kDa HLA-G dimers were more frequent in RRMS than in inflammatory ( p<0.01) and non-inflammatory controls ( p<0.001) and in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) inactive than in MRI active RRMS ( p<0.00001). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that HLA-G dimers may be implicated in termination of inflammatory response occurring in MS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Animal protein intake may cause an acid load that predisposes individuals to stones by influencing calcium and citrate excretion. These associations were not confirmed in recent studies. Therefore the present study was aimed to compare acid load of diet in stone formers and controls. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants to the study were 157 consecutive calcium stone formers and 144 controls. Diet was analyzed in these subjects using a software that evaluated nutrient intake from a three-day food intake diary. This software also estimated the potential renal acid load (PRAL, mEq/day). Twenty-four-hour urine excretion of ions and citrate was measured in stone formers. Stone former diet had lower intake of glucose, fructose, potassium and fiber and higher PRAL in comparison with controls. The multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that stone risk decreased in association with the middle and the highest tertiles of fiber intake and increased in association with the highest tertile of PRAL. The linear multiple regression analysis showed that calcium excretion was associated with the sodium excretion and that citrate excretion was associated with the PRAL and animal protein intake in stone formers. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that stone formers may undergo a greater dietary acid load sustained by a low vegetable intake and base provision. Dietary acid load does not appear as the main determinant of calcium excretion, but may promote stone risk by decreasing citrate excretion. Sodium intake may predispose to stones by stimulating calcium excretion.
