Abstract
BACKGROUND Low levels of vitamin D are widespread in the world's population and associated with sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyles. Office workers in different occupational sectors seem more vulnerable than others. Scientific evidence reports a contribution of vitamin D in resistance to infections, opening to supplementation as a preventive action against pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2. OBJECTIVE A pilot campaign in the workplace during the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was conducted based on the preliminary measurement of vitamin D amount and its integration. METHODS A preventive action to contrast the deficiency of vitamin D was offered to a population of 700 bank employees. Vitamin D supplementation was performed between April and June 2021, on workers (n = 139) and showed 25(OH)D serum levels ≤ 30 ng/ml. Demographic, anthropometric and lifestyle information were collected by survey and changes in the serum 25(OH)D amounts were monitored. RESULTS The adherence of the target population to the prevention campaign was 21%. 75% of the enrolled workers had low levels of vitamin D. After the intervention, serum vitamin D levels increased (1.28-fold;p = 0.0001) and 80% of the subjects reported optimal values > 30 ng/ml. Only 2.9% reported slight flu-like symptoms, but only 0.7% was confirmed as COVID-19, with respect to a ten-fold higher incidence in the general population. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D supplementation can be achieved by simple and noninvasive approaches and can bring along further insights into health literacy on diet and lifestyles, representing an opportunity to protect the population by the widespread state of vitamin deficiency.

Abstract
IoT technologies generate intelligence and connectivity and develop knowledge to be used in the decision-making process. However, research that uses big data through global interconnected infrastructures, such as the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) for Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA), is fraught with several ethical concerns. A large-scale application of IoT operating in diverse piloting contexts and case studies needs to be orchestrated by a robust framework to guide ethical and sustainable decision making in respect to data management of AHA and IoT based solutions. The main objective of the current article is to present the successful completion of a collaborative multiscale research work, which addressed the complicated exercise of ethical decision making in IoT smart ecosystems for older adults. Our results reveal that among the strong enablers of the proposed ethical decision support model were the participatory and deliberative procedures complemented by a set of regulatory and non-regulatory tools to operationalize core ethical values such as transparency, trust, and fairness in real care settings for older adults and their caregivers.

Accuracy of sonography for non-invasive detection of ovarian and deep endometriosis using #Enzian classification: prospective multicenter diagnostic accuracy study. ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2022; 59:385-391. [PMID: 34919760 DOI: 10.1002/uog.24833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2021] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the preoperative detection of endometriosis using transvaginal sonography (TVS) supplemented by transabdominal sonography (TAS) with surgical assessment of disease, using the #Enzian classification for endometriosis. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter diagnostic accuracy study of women undergoing TVS/TAS and radical surgery for deep endometriosis (DE) at different tertiary referral centers. The localization and grade of severity of the endometriotic lesions and adhesions were described according to the criteria of the #Enzian classification, both at preoperative ultrasound examination and during surgery. According to the #Enzian classification, the small pelvis is divided into three compartments for DE: A (rectovaginal septum and vagina); B (uterosacral and cardinal ligaments, parametrium and pelvic sidewalls); and C (rectum). In addition, further locations (F) are classified as adenomyosis (FA), urinary bladder involvement (FB) and ureteric involvement with signs of obstruction (FU). Other intestinal locations (FI) and other extragenital locations (FO) are also included. Ovarian endometriosis and adhesions at the level of the tubo-ovarian unit are listed as O and T, respectively. The #Enzian grade of severity (Grade 1-3) was determined for #Enzian compartments O, T, A, B and C based on the size of the lesion or the severity of the adhesions. Concordance between preoperative assessment using TVS/TAS and evaluation at surgery was assessed. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and accuracy of TVS/TAS in the detection of endometriotic lesions/adhesions in the different #Enzian compartments were calculated. RESULTS In total, 745 women were included in the analysis. Preoperative TVS/TAS and surgical findings showed a concordance rate ranging between 86% and 99% for the presence or absence of endometriotic lesions/adhesions, depending on the evaluated #Enzian compartment. The concordance rate between TVS and surgery ranged between 71% and 92% for different severity grades, in #Enzian compartments O, T, A, B and C. Determining the presence or absence of adhesions at the level of the tubo-ovarian unit and classifying them accurately as Grade 1, 2 or 3 on TVS was more difficult than determining the presence and severity of endometriotic lesions in #Enzian compartments O, A, B and C. The sensitivity of TVS/TAS for the detection of endometriotic lesions ranged from 50% (#Enzian compartment FI) to 95% (#Enzian compartment A), specificity from 86% (#Enzian compartment Tleft ) to 99% (#Enzian compartment FI) and 100% (#Enzian compartments FB, FU and FO), positive predictive value from 90% (#Enzian compartment Tright ) to 100% (#Enzian compartment FO), negative predictive value from 74% (#Enzian compartment Bleft ) to 99% (#Enzian compartments FB and FU) and accuracy from 88% (#Enzian compartment Bright ) to 99% (#Enzian compartment FB). CONCLUSIONS The localization and severity of endometriotic lesions/adhesions, as described and classified according to the #Enzian classification, can be diagnosed accurately and non-invasively using TVS/TAS. The #Enzian classification provides a uniform classification system for describing endometriotic lesions, which can be used both at TVS/TAS and during surgical evaluation. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
The adulteration of drugs of abuse is a well-known practice with alarming public health implications. In fact, the presence of other substances than those declared by the drug dealers may expose the consumers to unexpected adverse effects, even potentially fatal ones depending on the adulterant. Various adulterants are often added during the manufacturing process as cutting agent for deliberate underdosing, such as in case of levamisole for cocaine, or to strengthen the drug ef-fect, as in case of fentanyl for heroin. The authors aimed to elaborate on such unfolding dynamics and concluded that continuous development of effective analytical tools, along with a closely focused evaluation of each case by the medical doctor is essential to clarify the origin of the intoxications, so as to undertake the best therapeutic pathway.

Abstract
Background and aim: Vitamin D is known to modulate immune response and its deficiency was associated with respiratory distress in patients hospitalized for pneumonia. Nevertheless, numerous reviews on vitamin D in COVID-19 patients have shown conflicting results, as previously reported also for other respiratory diseases (e.g., influenza). Methods: This umbrella review aims to assess whether low serum 25-OHD is associated with susceptibility to COVID 19, their severity, and mortality. A total of 1559 studies were excluded after the title, abstract and full-text articles screening and 9 papers were included in this review: 2 systematic reviews and 7 metanalysis. Results: The findings of this review that summarized studies from 5 WHO regions (European Region, Region of the Americas, South-East Asia Region, Eastern Mediterranean Region, Western Pacific Region) to exclusion only African region, show that low serum 25-OHD levels are associated with higher infection risks for COVID-19. Conclusions: Although the umbrella findings indicate a potential role of vitamin D deficiency in COVID-19 severity in hospitalized patients and showing an association between Vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 severity, however, more robust data from randomized controlled trials are further needed to confirm a possible association with the mortality rates.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
We assessed the outcome and predictors of successful salvage microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) men previously submitted to unfruitful classic (cTESE).
Summary answer
The sperm retrieval rate at salvage mTESE was almost 50%. Hypospermatogenesis and low FSH values were associated with positive outcomes at salvage mTESE
What is known already
In men with NOA testicular sperm can be retrieved using cTESE in approximately 50% of cases. mTESE has been proposed as a salvage treatment option for men with a previously failed TESE, but data are scarce.
Study design, size, duration
Multicenter, cross-sectional study. Complete data from 61 NOA men who underwent mTESE after a failed cTESE between 01/2014 and 10/2020, at 6 tertiary referral centers in Italy were analysed.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
All men underwent testicular ultrasound, hormonal and genetic blood testing. Histopathological diagnosis from TESE was collected in every man. Semen analyses were based on the 2010 WHO reference criteria. mTESE was performed according to the technique of Schlegel et al. (1999). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to investigate potential predictors of positive sperm retrieval (SR+) after salvage mTESE.
Main results and the role of chance
Overall, median (IQR) age and testicular volume were 35 (31–38) years and 10 (6–15) ml, respectively. Baseline serum FSH and total testosterone levels were 17.1 (8.6–30.4) mUI/mL and 4.7 (3.5–6.4) ng/mL, respectively. Sertoli-cell-only (SCO) syndrome, maturation arrest (MA) and hypospermatogenesis were found in 24 (39.3%), 21 (34.4%) and 16 (26.2%) men after cTESE, respectively. Spermatozoa were retrieved in 30 (49.2%) men at salvage mTESE. Patients with a diagnosis of hypospermatogenesis had a higher rate of SR + [12/16 (75%)] than those with MA [12/21 (57.1%)] and SCOS [6/24 (25%)] after salvage mTESE (p < 0.01), which was bilateral in 36 (59%) cases. FSH was higher [16.5 (8–22) vs. 8.9 (5–13) mUI/mL, p < 0.01] in SR- patients compared to SR+. No difference in clinical characteristics was found between patients with SR+ and SR- at salvage mTESE. There were no significant complications after mTESE. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that hypospermatogenesis (OR 9.7; p < 0.01) and low FSH levels (OR 0.9, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of SR+ after salvage mTESE, after accounting for age.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Despite we analysed one of the largest series of salvage mTESE, the samples size is too small to draw general conclusions. Because of the multicenter nature of the study we cannot rely on standardization of surgical techniques for TESE.
Wider implications of the findings: This is one of the larger studies on salvage mTESE. The selection of patients for salvage mTESE is of critical importance.
