Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of obese female patients represents a real challenge. Indeed, obesity among women has reached epidemic levels not only elevating the cardiovascular and endocrinological risks, but also increasing the incidence of various gynecological pathologies (e.g. endometrial cancer and hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, genital prolapse) which commonly require hysterectomy as a surgical solution. In the last decade, minimally invasive surgery has emerged as an approach reducing the invasiveness of the standard laparoscopic surgical procedures while maintaining efficacy and feasibility. As such, in this study we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of percutaneous hysterectomy (PSS-H) approach in obese patients by reporting the first prospective comparison between the PSS-H to laparoscopic hysterectomy (LPS-H). METHODS In this multicentric comparative prospective study, 45 patients affected by benign and malignant gynecological conditions were considered eligible for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Fifteen patients received PSS-H and 30 LPS-H. All patients enrolled received a total hysterectomy ± bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with or without lymph nodal staging. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were noted in operative time and estimated blood loss between the two groups. Four patients in PSS-H group and 3 in LPS-H group received lymph node staging. A multifunctional energy device was used in all PSS-H and 73.3% of LPS-H procedures (p=0.038). There were no conversions to laparotomy in either group and similarly there were no conversions to conventional laparoscopy in the PSS-H group. In the LPS-H group, there was one (3.3%) case of major bleeding( ≥ 500 mls). We recorded one vaginal cuff bleeding in PSS-H, whereas for LPS-H we reported 4 (13.3%) 30-days complications (p=0.651). No differences in visual analogue scale (VAS) score were recorded. A significant disparity was noted in cosmetic outcome at discharge (p=0.001), but not after 30 days. CONCLUSION We demonstrated for the first time, in a prospective comparison between PSS and LPS approaches, that PSS-H may represent a valid alternative to performing total hysterectomy in obese patients.

Abstract
This pilot study was aimed to value the feasibility and safety of Senhance Robotic Platform for hysterectomy in obese patients. Ten obese patients (30 < BMI < 40) underwent elective Senhance total extrafascial hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at the Division of Gynecologic Oncology of "Policlinico A. Gemelli" Foundation, Rome, Italy. Perioperative and postoperative outcomes data were recorded. The median age was 60 years (range 51-75) and the median BMI was 33.3 kg/m2 (range 30.4-38.3). The median uterine weight was 112.5 g (range 77-225). Indication to total hysterectomy was early-stage (FIGO Stage IA) endometrial cancer in 100% of patients. The median operative time (OT) was 110 min (70-200). The median docking time was 10.5 min (5-25). The median estimated blood loss was 100 mL (50-200). No conversions to laparotomy were recorded. No intra- and 30-day postoperative complications were registered. The median ileus was 17 h (12-36) and the median time to discharge was 2 days (1-4). The median VAS scores registered at 2, 4, 12, and 24 h were, respectively, 2 (1-3), 2 (1-3), 4 (1-8), and 3 (1-5). Our study results suggest that Senhance platform could be safe for hysterectomy even in obese patients. More clinical data are needed to determine whether this approach would offer any additional benefits in a new middle line between standard laparoscopy and robotics.

Abstract
Copula modelling has in the past decade become a standard tool in many areas of applied statistics. However, a largely neglected aspect concerns the design of related experiments. Particularly the issue of whether the estimation of copula parameters can be enhanced by optimizing experimental conditions and how robust all the parameter estimates for the model are with respect to the type of copula employed. In this paper an equivalence theorem for (bivariate) copula models is provided that allows formulation of efficient design algorithms and quick checks of whether designs are optimal or at least efficient. Some examples illustrate that in practical situations considerable gains in design efficiency can be achieved. A natural comparison between different copula models with respect to design efficiency is provided as well.

Abstract
Glass micromachining is a basic technology to achieve microfluidic networks for lab-on-a-chip applications. Among several methods to microstructure glass, the simplest and most widely applied is wet chemical etching (WE). However, accurate control of the reaction conditions to perform reproducible, fast and safe glass etching is not straightforward. Herein, microwave-assisted WE is demonstrated to intensify the glass etching action under safe working and finely monitored operative conditions and to produce smooth deep channels in short processing times with reduced underetching effects.

Abstract
Objectives:To evaluate aspects related to the psychiatric attendance in Campinas and population knowledge about mental disorders.Methods:Participants of a public event were invited to answer a questionnaire about sociodemographyc aspects and knowledge about mental health.Results:The 88 questionnaires showed that there was uniform distribution between sexes and that 50 % of subjects were between 41 and 65 years. The most people have concluded the primary and secondary school. About religion, 55,7 % were Catholics and 26,1% protestants. The study showed that 23% of the subjects have looked for a psychiatrist in last year, the most at primary care health, but only 4,35% said there was no psychiatrist for them. Beyond the psychiatrist, psychologists and spiritualists are looking to solve mental disorders. People consider suicide idea as a disorder that must be treated by psychiatrist more than the eating disorders. “Listen voices that do not exist” was considered as reason to look for psychiatrist, being an opinion more prevalent between Catholics than protestants (O.R = 1.67). The people with first or second grade think that spiritual works produce mental disorders more than those who are graduated. (OR=3.97). When the information about mental illness is TV the people have more chance to believe that spiritual works can produce mental disorders (OR=1.67).Conclusion:Psychiatric attendance is accessible for most people at primary health care in Campinas. The looking for psychiatrist comes with other professionals. The concept about mental disorders is influenced by level and source of information, sex and religion.

Abstract
Residual biological effects of the 1991 HAVEN oil spill off the Ligurian (Arenzano) coast were assessed in this study. Samples of the fish species Boops boops, Mullus barbatus, and Uranoscupus scaber were collected from two polluted sites near the HAVEN wreck and from an uncontaminated area. In addition to this, mussels were caged along the coast affected by the HAVEN disaster. The physiological status of fish and mussels was assessed using a battery of stress and exposure biomarkers. The PAH content of mussel and fish tissues was also analyzed. Significant biological responses were observed in lysosomal membrane stability, neutral lipid and lipofuscin accumulation and micronucleus frequency for mussels caged at two sites close to the HAVEN wreck. Chemical analyses indicated, however, that these effects are not caused by aromatic hydrocarbons. For this reason, we suggest that the aftermath of the HAVEN disaster contributes very little to coastal ecosystem pollution. This was also confirmed by the few biological effects observed in fish specimens (Boops boops) collected from surface waters. Nevertheless, it is important to point out that benthic fish displayed a stress syndrome potentially caused by aromatic hydrocarbons released from the oil tanker, as witnessed by an enhanced EROD activity and increased lipofuscin and neutral lipid lysosomal contents.

Abstract
A year-round biomonitoring study on blue mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) was carried out in 4 selected sites along the Gulf of Oristano (Sardinia, Italy): a commercial port (Port), the outlet of the S'Ena Arrubia and Marceddì lagoons (in the catchment area of intensive agricultural and diary activities, and abandoned mining), and a reference site (North). Heavy metal concentrations in sediments from Marceddì were 2-3 to 10-20 times higher in Pb, Cd and Zn, respectively, than those found at North and S'Ena Arrubia. Higher values (P<0.05) of micronuclei frequency were detected in mussels from Marceddì and Port compared to those detected in mussels from North and S'Ena Arrubia. DNA damage in animals from North was significantly lower than that at the other sites. Results of acetylcholinesterase inhibition consistently showed the strongest effects in mussels from Port and Marceddì. Our results suggest that these biomarkers can be used in coastal marine biomonitoring as early signals of exposure and adverse effects along a pollution gradient.

Abstract
Diagnosis of brain death must be certain to allow discontinuation of artificial ventilation and organ transplantation. Brain death is present when all functions of the brain stem have irreversibly ceased. Clinical and electrophysiological criteria may be misinterpreted due to drug intoxication, hypothermia or technical artefacts. Thus, if clinical assessment is suboptimal, reliable early confirmatory tests may be required for demonstrating absence of intracranial blood flow. We have easily carried out and interpreted 99mTc HM-PAO SPECT in a consecutive series of 40 comatose patients with brain damage, without discontinuing therapy. Brain death was diagnosed in 7 patients, by recognising absence of brain perfusion, as shown by no intracranial radionuclide uptake. In patients in whom perfusion was seen on brain scans, HM-PAO SPECT improved assessment of the extent of injury, which in general was larger than suggested by CT.

Abstract
Studies on cephem sulfones as inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) have been extended to the new class of cephem 4-ketones. tert-Butyl and phenyl ketones were prepared from 4-carboxycephem derivatives, at either the sulfide or sulfone oxidation level, by chemoselective Grignard reaction. Obtained products were functionalized with heterocyclothio and acyloxy substituents at C-3', C-2, or both positions. tert-Butyl ketones of the 7 alpha-chlorocephem series were in general at least as potent as the corresponding esters at inhibiting the enzyme, but improvements in hydrolytic stability were only marginal. On the other hand, tert-butyl ketones of the 7 alpha-methoxycephem series combined potent biochemical activity with acceptable hydrolytic stability, thus overstepping the esters, thiolesters, and amides reported previously. In particular, the tert-butyl ketones possessing a heterocyclothio group at C-3' or C-2 were at least as active as the corresponding tert-butyl esters but 1 order of magnitude more stable in physiologic buffers (pH 7.4, 37 degrees C). Introduction of acyloxy groups at C-2 delivered the most potent HLE inhibitors of the cephem class ever reported, with inhibition parameters often outside the determination limits of our standard protocol (second-order rate constant kon > 2,000,000 M-1 s-1; Ki at steady state < 2 nM). Keto-enol tautomerism was found to depress activity and boost hydrolytic stability. Thus, double substitution with heterocyclic thiols produced compounds with diverging properties, according to the extent of enolate formation at the investigated pH (7.4): the weakly acidic tert-butyl ketones (pKa > or = 5.8) proved to be potent inhibitors (kon over 10(4) M-1 s-1) with reasonable hydrolytic stability (t1/2 = 30-75 h), while the phenyl ketones (pKa < 4) were fair inhibitors (kon over 10(3) M-1 s-1; Ki at steady state approximately 50 nM) with hydrolytic half-lives exceeding 1000 h. Selected compounds efficiently inhibited the degradation of insoluble bovine neck elastin by HLE in a concentration-dependent manner. Intracellular HLE of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was in general unaffected; however, a lipophilic cephem sulfone apparently able to inactivate the enzyme in living cells was identified.

Abstract
The authors examined regional cerebral blood flow by using Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT studies in a patient who received a gunshot wound to the brain. Although the presence of the retained bullet's fragments adversely affected the quality of CT images and contraindicated MRI studies, the SPECT examination did not have the same constraints and allowed both therapy assessment and prognostic evaluation. The repair of the cortical defect could also be assessed.

Abstract
Brain death imaging is often a diagnostic challenge. Cerebral angioscintigraphy is extensively used for this analysis, but this test does not allow the perfusion evaluation of the posterior fossa. The authors report a case in which a SPECT study showed persistence of blood flow in infratentorial structures with total absence of cerebral (supratentorial) perfusion. This finding excluded the diagnosis of brain death.

Abstract
A scintigraphic single photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) evaluation of frontal perfusion alteration was performed in five patients with known cerebellar lesions but with normal supratentorial computed tomographic (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) scans. A clearly evident asymmetry was found in prefrontal areas in the four subjects with acquired cerebellar damage. The fifth subject, who had congenital left cerebellar hypoplasia, did not show any frontal flow asymmetry. The data support the growing clinical evidence that the cerebellum contributes to the cognitive processes of the frontal lobes and suggest a possible role for SPECT examination in the assessment of functional cognitive impairment in patients with acquired cerebellar lesions.

Abstract
Twenty-four-hour gastric and esophageal pH were monitored simultaneously in 19 patients with moderate esophagitis before and after a randomized crossover treatment with 40 mg famotidine or 300 mg ranitidine. Gastroesophageal reflux in patients with esophagitis was compared with that in 22 healthy controls. Patients with esophagitis had more esophageal acidity than controls; the percentage of time with esophageal pH less than 4 was significantly greater during a 24-h period (p less than 0.01) both in the upright (p less than 0.01) and in the supine (p less than 0.01) position. In esophagitis patients the percentage of time with pH less than 4 during the total 24-h period correlated closely with acid reflux in the upright (p less than 0.001) and supine (p less than 0.01) position. This indicates that daytime reflux is probably as injurious to the esophagus as nighttime reflux. Famotidine and ranitidine decreased gastric acidity during the entire 24-h period (p less than 0.001) but not during the daytime or early evening. The inhibitory effect lasted slightly longer with famotidine (12 h) than with ranitidine (10 h). Famotidine and ranitidine reduced esophageal acidity during the entire 24-h period (p less than 0.001) and particularly during the nighttime (p less than 0.001) but not during the daytime. Famotidine and ranitidine also did not modify the esophageal acid clearance. Nightly doses of famotidine or ranitidine were ineffective in reducing GER during daytime hours.

Abstract
Introduction of a hydroxyl group into the thiazole ring nitrogen of cephalosporins belonging to the cefotiam and cefotaxime families gave rise to products, better described by the tautomeric N-oxide form, which proved particularly active against Gram-negative bacteria. Cephems bearing a (Z)-alkoxyimino functionality are of special interest for broadness of spectrum; among them, 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl-N-oxide)-2 -methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-(tetrazolo-[1,5-b] pyridazin-6-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (5c-7, FCE 20635), in other ways similar to cefotaxime, showed useful levels of activity against cephalosporinase-producing strains resistant to the reference drug. Preliminary in vivo studies demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of the new compound in the treatment of experimental systemic, subcutaneous and urinary tract infections in mice.

Abstract
The synthesis and in vitro activity of 7 beta-[(Z)-2-alkoxyimino- 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl) acetamido]cephalosporins with a tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine at the 3-position are described. These cephalosporins showed excellent activity against Gram-negative bacteria, including beta-lactamase producing strains. The most interesting compound of the series was 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyimino acetamido] -3-(8-carboxytetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazin-6-yl)- thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (9, FCE 20485) because of its extraordinarily long half-life and marked in vivo activity.

Abstract
The synthesis and in vitro activity of 7 alpha-methoxy-7 beta-vinylenethioacetamido cephalosporins with various substituents at the 3-position are described. These cephalosporins showed good activity against beta-lactamase producing Gram-negative bacteria. 7 alpha-Methoxy-7-[(Z)-beta-cyano-vinylenethioacetamido]-3-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol -5-yl)thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (3) was several times more active in vitro than cefoxitin and comparable to cefmetazole.
