Abstract
BACKGROUND An important component of academic success in typically developing students is the development of math skills, which is associated with attention and perceptual reasoning (PR) skills. For children with a neurodevelopmental condition (NDC), the relationship is confounded by diagnostic-specific cognitive characteristics. Specifically, enhanced PR is specific to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). AIMS The purpose of this study was to test: (i) a mediation model where PR skills would mediate the relationship between attention and math proficiency for students with an NCD, and (ii) whether this mediation model is moderated by a diagnostic profile. METHODS AND PROCEDURES One hundred and thirty-seven students with an NDC participated in a school-based study examining the effectiveness of using a standardized measure of attention in predicting math capabilities. OUTCOMES AND RESULTS PR mediated the relationship between attention and math proficiency for students diagnosed with an NDC. However, the model was not moderated by diagnostic profile. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The results of this study provide a better understanding of the roles of higher-level cognitive ability specific to students with NDCs. Additionally, the superior PR skills demonstrated by the ASD sample further supports the research suggesting this population possesses cognitive strengths in this domain.

Abstract
In our perinatal unit we applied the ten steps of WHO/UNICEF for Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative and evaluated the percentage of exclusive (EBF) or complementary breastfeeding (CBF), and of formula fed (FF) healthy full-term infants (HFI) at hospital discharge (HD). HFI performing EBF at HD were 85.3%, a quite high value. At the age of 3 mths EBF percentage ranged between 59-62.4%, and at 6 mths it decreased to 51.7-37.7%. Customer satisfaction questionnaire at HD ranked "good" to "very good" in 92.8%. Causes of breastfeeding reduction with time and comparison with previous and actual situation in Italy and civilized countries are discussed.

Abstract
AIM In recent years many consensus conferences of scientific societies have reaffirmed the advantages of metered dose inhalator (MDI) and spacer administration compared to classic aerosol in acute asthma and maintenance therapy. Faced with a more than convincing documentation, the practitioners have shown a controversial attitude concerning this type of administration. At the same time, as a general acceptance of its superiority there is an inexplicable lack of use. METHODS This survey was carried out in 2006 and it involved pediatric hospital wards in Piedmont and Aosta Valley to evaluate the use of spacers in acute asthma in hospitalised children undergoing treatment. These results were compared to those obtained from another survey carried out in 2008 using identical questionnaires in the same departments in order to evaluate the implementation of such a practice. RESULTS In the two years between one survey and the other no increase in the use of MDI and spacer has been detected, but, on the contrary, a consistent decrease. CONCLUSION Notwithstanding the amount of evidence concerning its superiority compared to nebulisers MDI and spacer is not commonly used for asthma therapy yet. A "promotional" multidisciplinary intervention could play a determining role in the implementation of such a practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is associated with neurologic deficits recently attributed to the magnocellular pathway of the lateral geniculate nucleus. OBJECTIVE To test the hypotheses that FXS individuals 1) have a pervasive visual motion perception impairment affecting neocortical circuits in the parietal lobe and 2) have deficits in integrative neocortical mechanisms necessary for perception of complex stimuli. METHODS Psychophysical tests of visual motion and form perception defined by either first-order (luminance) or second-order (texture) attributes were used to probe early and later occipito-temporal and occipito-parietal functioning. RESULTS When compared to developmental- and age-matched controls, FXS individuals displayed severe impairments in first- and second-order motion perception. This deficit was accompanied by near normal perception for first-order form stimuli but not second-order form stimuli. CONCLUSIONS Impaired visual motion processing for first- and second-order stimuli suggests that both early- and later-level neurologic function of the parietal lobe are affected in Fragile X syndrome (FXS). Furthermore, this deficit likely stems from abnormal input from the magnocellular compartment of the lateral geniculate nucleus. Impaired visual form and motion processing for complex visual stimuli with normal processing for simple (i.e., first-order) form stimuli suggests that FXS individuals have normal early form processing accompanied by a generalized impairment in neurologic mechanisms necessary for integrating all early visual input.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of a hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) identification and surveillance policy. METHODS Familial clustering of colorectal cancer (CRC) and extracolonic cancers (ECs) was investigated in 1520 consecutive CRC patients and relatives. HNPCC was identified by Amsterdam criteria, and individuals at risk were offered biennial colonoscopy and other examinations, starting from age 25 years. RESULTS Twenty-two HNPCC families were identified. The CRC prevalence was 27.8% (121/435), decreasing from 59.4% in the first generation to 24.4% and 8% in the second and third generation, respectively. Twenty-nine patients had multiple CRC and 34 patients (in 12 families) had ECs.A total of 199/331 at-risk individuals accepted surveillance. The mean follow-up was 48+/-32 months. CRCs were detected at first surveillance in four out of 199 surveilled individuals (2%); in two surveilled individuals (1%), three CRCs developed during follow-up. The overall CRC incidence was 7/199 (3.5%) in surveilled individuals and 5/132 (3.7%) in unsurveilled individuals. CRCs were less advanced in surveilled than in unsurveilled patients. Eleven individuals had 22 adenomas (one with high-grade dysplasia). Three individuals had adenomas at first surveillance; two of them and eight more individuals during surveillance. Seven surveilled individuals and six unsurveilled individuals, all belonging to families with a history of EC, had EC during the study period. All patients with CRC detected by surveillance are alive. One of the unsurveilled patients who had CRC died 18 months after the diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Data confirm the importance of the family history collected in each patient with CRC for identification of HNPCC and support the efficacy of repeated colonoscopies for early diagnosis and prevention of CRC in at-risk members. Reasons for surveillance failure could be an accelerated progression of small adenomas and a lesion missing at colonoscopy. Longer follow-up is required to assess the efficacy of surveillance for EC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal diseases. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken of all patients undergoing a laparoscopic colorectal procedure (LCP) for large bowel disease. All operations were performed by a single experienced team. Patients were divided chronologically into three consecutive groups (G1, G2, and G3). Data collection included the incidence and cause of both "proper" and "mandatory" conversions to laparotomy, the incidence and type of early and late postoperative complications, incidence of operative mortality, and the length of hospital stay. The incidences of conversion to laparotomy and of early and late postoperative complications were also determined as related to diagnosis, type of LCP attempted, and chronological group. RESULTS Between January 1996 and December 2001, a total of 108 patients (49 men and 59 women) with a mean age of 65.1 years underwent an LCP for colorectal disease. Proper conversion to open surgery was necessary in five patients (4.6%), whereas a mandatory conversion was needed in 10 with patients advanced cancer (9.2%). The overall morbidity rate was 11.9%. There were no anastomotic leaks. In two patients (1.85%) developed a complication requiring reoperation. Postoperative mortality was nil. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 7.2 days. The rates of conversion and of early and late complications decreased through the three chronological periods. No trocar site recurrences were observed in the cancer patients. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic colorectal surgery performed in experienced centers is safe; the observed morbidity and mortality rates are low and acceptable and compare favorably to those observed after standard open surgery.

Abstract
In April 2002 a survey was conducted about dietary habits of infants and toddlers attending kindergartens in Valsesia, through dietary journal compilation. From 149 answers (response rate = 70%) the results are: a limited vegetables consumption, with a potatoes excess and a legumes scarcity; only one half of children eats fruits daily; consumption of ham and cheese is higher than other proteinic foods; foods variety is weak and the menu is often repetitive in lunch and dinner.

Abstract
The study of the influence of motion and initial intra-articular pressure (IAP) on intra-articular pressure profiles in equine cadaver metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints was undertaken as a prelude to in vivo studies. Eleven equine cadaver MTP joints were submitted to 2 motion frequencies of 5 and 10 cycles/min of flexion and extension, simulating the condition of lower and higher (double) rates of passive motion. These frequencies were applied and pressure profiles generated with initial normal intra-articular pressure (-5 mmHg) and subsequently 30 mmHg intra-articular pressure obtained by injection of previously harvested synovial fluid. The 4 trials performed were 1) normal IAP; 5 cyles/min; 2) normal IAP; 10 cycles/min; 3) IAP at 30 mmHg; 5 cycles/min and 4) IAP at 30 mmHg; 10 cycles/min. The range of joint motion applied (mean +/- s.e.) was 67.6+/-1.61 degrees with an excursion from 12.2+/-1.2 degrees in extension to 56.2+/-2.6 degrees in flexion. Mean pressure recorded in mmHg for the first and last min of each trial, respectively, were 1) -5.7+/-0.9 and -6.3+/-1.1; 2) -5.3+/-1.1 and -6.2+/-1.1; 3) 58.8+/-8.0 and 42.3+/-7.2; 4) 56.6+/-3.7 and 40.3+/-4.6. Statistical analyses showed a trend for difference between the values for the first and last minute in trial 3 (0.05>P<0.1) with P = 0.1 and significant difference (P = 0.02) between the mean IAP of the first and last min in trial 4. The loss of intra-articular pressure associated with time and motion was 10.5, 16.9, 28.1 and 28.9% for trials 1-4, respectively. As initial intraarticular pressure and motion increased, the percent loss of intra-articular pressure increased. The angle of lowest pressure was 12.2+/-1.2 degrees (mean +/- s.e.) in extension in trials 1 and 2. In trials 3 and 4, the lowest pressures were obtained in flexion with the joints at 18.5+/-2.0 degrees (mean +/- s.e.). This demonstrated that the joint angle of least pressure changed as the initial intra-articular pressure changed and there would not be a single angle of least pressure for a given joint. The volume of synovial fluid recovered from the MTP joints in trial 3 compared to 4 (trials in which fluid was injected to attain IAP of 30 mmHg) was not significantly different, supporting a soft tissue compliance change as a cause for the significant loss of intra-articular pressure during the 15 min of trial 4. The pressure profiles generated correlate well with in vivo values and demonstrated consistent pressure profiles. Our conclusions are summarised as follows: 1. Clinically normal equine MTP joints which were frozen and then later thawed were found to have mostly negative baseline intra-articular pressures, as would be expected in living subjects. 2. Alternate pressure profiles of the dorsal and plantar pouch at baseline intra-articular pressure document the presence of pressure forces that would support 'back and forth' fluid movement between joint compartments. This should result in movement of joint fluid during motion, assisting in lubrication and nutrition of articular cartilage. 3. If joint pressure was initially greater than normal (30 mmHg), as occurs in diseased equine MTP joints, joint motion further increased joint capsule relaxation (compliance) and, therefore, reduced intra-articular pressure. 4. Peak intra-articular pressures reached extremely high values (often >100 mmHg) in flexion when initial pressure was 30 mmHg. Joint effusion pressures recorded for clinical MCP joints are frequently 30 mmHg. These IAP values are expected to produce intermittent synovial ischaemia in clinical cases during joint flexion. 5. Additional in vivo studies are necessary to confirm our conclusions from this study and to identify the contributions of fluid absorption and the presence of ischaemia in a vascularised joint.

Abstract
Progress in treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is slow and treatment intensification alone has limited effects, particularly in poor-risk cases. Poor-risk cases, that are identified mainly by prior history, leukemic cell mass and cytogenetic abnormalities, share multiple mechanisms of drug resistance that are responsible for treatment failure. Since Pgp-mediated resistance to anthracycline can be reduced with Idarubicin (IDA) and resistance to arabinosyl cytosine (AC) can be reduced with Fludarabine (FLUDA), we tested a combination of high dose AC (2000 mg/sqm, 5 doses), FLUDA (30 mg/sqm, 5 doses) and IDA (12 mg/sqm, 3 doses) for remission induction and consolidation in 45 consecutive cases of poor-risk AML. The complete remission (CR) rate was 71% after the first course and 82% overall, with a projected 2-year survival and relapse-free survival of 44% and 50% respectively. Non-hematologic toxicity was very mild, that is very important in elderly patients, but hemopoietic toxicity was substantial, with a time to hematologic recovery of 3 to 4 weeks and two cases of death in CR. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) could be mobilized and collected successfully only in 11 cases. This three-drug combination is effective and has a limited non-hematologic toxicity, but FLUDA may increase the difficulty of obtaining PBSC early after remission induction.

Abstract
In the present experiments the ability of attention to modulate the perceptual dominance in ambiguous motion displays was assessed, as well as the resulting changes of the motion aftereffect (MAE). As ambiguous motion stimuli we used plaids consisting of two differently moving components, where directed attention can select one or the other of the two components. We monitored this selection process during adaptation, and then measured the resulting MAE with static and/or dynamic test stimuli. The results demonstrate that attention increased the dominance of the selected component substantially. This led to an increase in the size of the MAE to the attended component, while the MAE to the not attended component decreased. It was further shown that the attentional MAE effect was relatively short-lasting, only for about the first third of the total MAE. It is concluded that attention can access levels of motion processing that are prior to or at the level of the generation of the component MAEs.

Abstract
Thirteen relapsed or refractory AML patients were treated with the FLA regimen. A complete remission was observed in 54% of cases but the median duration of remission was short (4 months). These results suggest that the FLA regimen is not able to induce a durable complete remission in the poor-risk AML patients.

Abstract
We evaluated, with a treatment planning system, the maximum and the mean contralateral breast doses, and, with thermoluminescent dosemeters LiF100; the skin dose during radiation therapy after conservative surgery. The doses were correlated with technical parameters through statistical analysis. Since 1995, 100 patients have been considered, all of them treated with two 60Co tangential beams after quadrantectomy. The mean dose to the contralateral breast exhibited a statistically significant correlation with the gantry angle of the lateral (Pearson, p < .02) and medial beams (p < .01); the maximum dose was correlated with the gantry angle of the lateral (p < .002) and the medial beams (p < .002). In the last 50 patients, the skin dose (measured with TLDs) was correlated with: distance from beam edge (Pearson, p < .02), breast thickness (p < .01), gantry angle of the lateral beam (p < .005), gantry angle of the medial beam (p < .002). Furthermore, only the gantry angle of the lateral (p < .02) and of the medial beams (p < .01) exhibited statistically significant Spearman's correlation with skin dose. Wilcoxon's signed rank sum test for paired data was performed to study wedge dependence. The average contralateral breast dose using two wedges was statistically reduced with respect to the dose without wedges (p < .02). These results suggest that the dose to the contralateral breast could be significantly decreased by careful attention to the treatment details, which implies that the procedures related to the technical aspects of the therapy should be submitted to careful quality control.

Abstract
Cytologic evidence of candidiasis was sought on endoscopic oesophageal brushings from 116 patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) to determine the reliability of oesophagoscopy and the possibility of predicting Candida spp. oesophagitis from concomitant oral candidiasis or oesophageal symptoms. Oesophageal candidiasis was present in 42 patients and constituted the first opportunistic infection in 19 patients. Sensitivity and specificity were, respectively, 98% and 96% for oesophagoscopy, 69% and 42% for oral candidiasis, 52% and 74% for oesophageal symptoms, and 83% and 35% for the presence of at least one of these last two parameters. Endoscopy also proved to be the examination of choice for diagnosis, and cytology was needed only when it was negative. Oral candidiasis and oesophageal symptoms were not sufficient to predict oesophageal candidiasis. Endoscopy would seem to be indispensable to the diagnosis of oesophageal candidiasis and its differentiation from other forms, thus preventing any empirical resort to unwarranted forms of treatment. It is also indicated for staging purposes in asymptomatic patients, since oesophageal candidiasis is one indicator of the transition to full-blown AIDS.

Abstract
The authors report their experience with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of twenty-two supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. In cases with neurovascular complications there was a marked regression within six hours following reduction. The results after 15 months to 13 years were satisfactory (excellent + good) in 90% of the cases, avoiding the risks and possible cicatricial complications of incisions and the discomfort of orthopaedic treatment in traction and subsequent thoracic-brachial plaster cast.

Abstract
An in vitro study of proliferative activity as shown by immunohistochemical detection of the uptake of bromodeoxyuridine was run on rectal biopsies from 400 patients with nonfamilial large bowel neoplasia: 200 adenoma; 150 adenocarcinoma; 50 adenoma plus adenocarcinoma. The controls were 400 subjects with negative personal and family histories of colorectal neoplasia. The number and height distribution of bromodeoxyuridine positive cells were determined by dividing the crypt into five longitudinal compartments. The total labeling index and the labeling index of each compartment were higher in all three groups compared with the controls. In subjects with adenoma, total labeling index and labeling index values were correlated with tumor size and decreased in function of the duration of the polyp-free colon state. The major zone of DNA synthesis had shifted to the intermediate and surface crypt compartments in all three groups. This stage II abnormality was more marked in adenoma patients with a high degree of dysplasia and in those with adenoma plus adenocarcinoma. Hyperproliferation and the proliferative compartment shift are cytokinetic abnormalities that coexist in the flat rectal mucosa of patients with colorectal neoplasia. Nonetheless, they are independent, controlled by different factors, and are expressions of different biological aspects of large bowel carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Needle biopsy of submucosal lesions is an important addition to the diagnostic capabilities of gastrointestinal endoscopy. A series of 22 cases is described employing a guillotine needle to diagnose submucosal lesions, 4 of which were infiltrating adjacent carcinomas. The specimens obtained were sufficient for firm histological diagnosis in 20 cases. There were no complications apart from minor bleeding in 1 case.

Abstract
Late cytokinetic changes of the colonic crypt epithelium after radiation therapy were investigated. A monoclonal antibody to bromodeoxyuridine (anti-BrdU MAb) was used in tissue specimens previously incubated with BrdU to show S-phase cells by immunohistochemical technique. Endoscopic rectal biopsies were taken from 30 patients previously treated with radiotherapy for gynaecological cancer and from 50 patients with comparable but untreated neoplasms, as controls. Number and height distribution of S-phase cells were evaluated by dividing each crypt column into 5 equal longitudinal compartments. No statistically significant differences were found in total Labelling Index (LI) between controls and irradiated mucosa, whereas LI per crypt compartment, percentage of labelled compartments and percentage of BrdU-positive cells in the middle and superficial portions of the crypt were significantly higher in patients submitted to radiation therapy. This kinetic abnormality corresponds to a progressive shift of the major zone of DNA synthesis to the upper third of the crypt as a late reaction to radiation and represents an early step in the histogenesis of colorectal cancer. These results lend support to the view that there is a higher risk of colorectal carcinoma after pelvic irradiation.

Abstract
The paper reports a case of a 45-year-old female with long-standing anemia, recurrent abdominal pain and subocclusive crises. Following a negative endoscopy of the upper tract of the large intestine, barium enema and angiography, the patient underwent total colonoscopy. Massive bleeding from the ileal valve suggested an ileal pathology: a small intestine enema confirmed a polypoid proliferation 60 cm above the Bahuino valve with related ileal invagination 25 cm long. The patient underwent surgery and pathological findings revealed a 7 cm-wide ileal lipoma near a small angiodysplasia. The latter seemed to be the cause of bleeding. The diagnosis of small intestine tumours is made difficult by the fact that the only important signs are abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding and subocclusive crises, which are common symptoms in many pathologies. The authors stress the importance of a thorough endoscopic examination and selective angiography.

Abstract
The Authors report on their experience in endoscopic laser photoablation (Nd-YAG laser) of advanced, non surgical rectosigmoid tumors, large sessile adenomas and their recurrence after polypectomy. 37 patients have been studied: 21 out of them had an advanced rectosigmoid tumor, 10 out a large sessile adenoma, and the remaining 6 had a recurrence of adenoma after polypectomy. All the rectosigmoid tumors improved either clinically or symptomatically after 2-4 laser treatments. In 2 cases stenosis occur after laser therapy but no dilatation was necessary. Large adenomas and recurrence were all cured by the laser treatment, with a recurrence rate of about 30% at six months. In conclusion, endoscopic laser treatment is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of benign sessile rectosigmoid tumors and for palliation of symptoms from malignant ones in selected non surgical patients.

Abstract
The aim of this double blind trial was to compare omeprazole 20 mg once daily with ranitidine 150 mg b.i.d. in treatment of benign gastric ulcer, evaluating both rates and histological aspects of the ulcer healing process. Eighteen patients were randomized, 9 to each treatment; one patient (ranitidine group) was excluded from the analysis because of malignant ulcer. Omeprazole appeared to be more effective than ranitidine in healing gastric ulcer. A more rapid relief of symptoms was observed in the omeprazole group than in the ranitidine group. Both drugs reduced chronic atrophic gastritis (with a trend in favour of omeprazole), while omeprazole showed a prompter activity on the components of acute inflammation.
