Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the stiffness and strength of three plate and rod fixation constructs applied to a feline tibial gap model. STUDY DESIGN Ex vivo study. SAMPLE POPULATION Thirty-three unpaired tibiae obtained from skeletally mature cats. METHODS The tibiae were randomly divided into three groups. The following implants were then applied to the feline tibiae prior to the creation of a 10 mm diaphyseal gap. Group 1: 2.4 mm locking compression plate (LCP) and 1.0 mm intramedullary pin (IMP). Group 2: 2.4 mm LCP and 1.6 mm IMP. Group 3: 2.7 mm LCP. Subsequently, each specimen was tested for torsion, axial compression, and axial load until construct failure. Student's t-tests were used to compare the torsional and axial stiffness, yield load, and maximum axial force. RESULTS Group 2 had higher axial stiffness than group 3 (p = .013). Group 1 showed a lower maximum axial force and yield point than groups 2 and 3 (p < .01; p < .05, respectively). There were no among-group differences in torsional stiffness. CONCLUSION Constructs with a 2.4 mm LCP and 1.6 mm IMP provided the strongest and most rigid constructs in a feline tibia gap model. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE A plate-rod construct combining a 2.4 mm LCP and a 1.6 mm IMP is appropriate for achieving high implant stiffness and resisting maximum axial force in treatment of tibial fractures in cats.

Abstract
PURPOSE Platinum-fluoropyrimidine combinations are standard of care for treatment of metastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. The optimal duration of first-line chemotherapy is unknown, however, and maintenance strategies have not yet been established. DESIGN MATEO is an international randomized phase II trial exploring efficacy and safety of S-1 maintenance therapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. After 3 months of first-line platinum-fluoropyrimidine-based induction therapy, patients without progression were randomized in a 2 : 1 allocation to receive S-1 monotherapy (arm A) or to continue combination chemotherapy (arm B). The primary objective was to show non-inferiority of overall survival in the S-1 maintenance group. Progression-free survival, adverse events, and quality of life were secondary endpoints. RESULTS From 2014 to 2019, 110 and 55 patients were randomized in arm A and arm B, respectively (recruitment closed prematurely). Median overall survival from randomization was 13.4 months for arm A and 11.4 months for arm B [hazard ratio 0.97 (80% confidence interval 0.76-1.23), P = 0.86]. Median progression-free survival from randomization was 4.3 and 6.1 months for arm A versus arm B, respectively [hazard ratio 1.10 (80% confidence interval 0.86-1.39), P = 0.62]. Patients in arm A had numerically fewer treatment-related adverse events (84.9% versus 93.9%) and significantly less peripheral sensory polyneuropathy ≥grade 2 (9.4% versus 36.7%). CONCLUSIONS S-1 maintenance following platinum-based induction therapy leads to non-inferior survival outcomes compared with the continuation of platinum-based combination. Toxicity patterns favor a fluoropyrimidine maintenance strategy. These data challenge the continued use of platinum combination chemotherapy after response to 3 months induction therapy in patients with advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative esophagogastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Linelike features in TeV γ rays constitute a "smoking gun" for TeV-scale particle dark matter and new physics. Probing the Galactic Center region with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes enables the search for TeV spectral features in immediate association with a dense dark matter reservoir at a sensitivity out of reach for satellite γ-ray detectors, and direct detection and collider experiments. We report on 223 hours of observations of the Galactic Center region with the MAGIC stereoscopic telescope system reaching γ-ray energies up to 100 TeV. We improved the sensitivity to spectral lines at high energies using large-zenith-angle observations and a novel background modeling method within a maximum-likelihood analysis in the energy domain. No linelike spectral feature is found in our analysis. Therefore, we constrain the cross section for dark matter annihilation into two photons to ⟨σv⟩≲5×10^{-28} cm^{3} s^{-1} at 1 TeV and ⟨σv⟩≲1×10^{-25} cm^{3} s^{-1} at 100 TeV, achieving the best limits to date for a dark matter mass above 20 TeV and a cuspy dark matter profile at the Galactic Center. Finally, we use the derived limits for both cuspy and cored dark matter profiles to constrain supersymmetric wino models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lurbinectedin, a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription, has shown preclinical antitumor activity against homologous recombination repair-deficient models and preliminary clinical activity in BRCA1/2 breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS This phase II basket multitumor trial (NCT02454972) evaluated lurbinectedin 3.2 mg/m2 1-h intravenous infusion every 3 weeks in a cohort of 21 patients with pretreated germline BRCA1/2 breast cancer. Patients with any hormone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status were enrolled. The primary efficacy endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. RESULTS Confirmed partial response (PR) was observed in six patients [ORR = 28.6%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 11.3% to 52.2%] who had received a median of two prior advanced chemotherapy lines. Lurbinectedin was active in both BRCA mutations: four PRs in 11 patients (36.4%) with BRCA2 and two PRs in 10 patients (20.0%) with BRCA1. Median DoR was 8.6 months, median PFS was 4.1 months and median OS was 16.1 months. Stable disease (SD) was observed in 10 patients (47.6%), including 3 with unconfirmed response in a subsequent tumor assessment [ORR unconfirmed = 42.9% (95% CI 21.8% to 66.0%)]. Clinical benefit rate (PR + SD ≥ 4 months) was 76.2% (95% CI 52.8% to 91.8%). No objective response was observed among patients who had received prior poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were nausea (61.9%), fatigue (38.1%) and vomiting (23.8%). These AEs were mostly grade 1/2. The most common grade 3/4 toxicity was neutropenia (42.9%: grade 4, 23.8%: with no febrile neutropenia). CONCLUSIONS This phase II study met its primary endpoint and showed activity of lurbinectedin in germline BRCA1/2 breast cancer. Lurbinectedin showed a predictable and manageable safety profile. Considering the exploratory aim of this trial as well as previous results in other phase II studies, further development of lurbinectedin in this indication is warranted.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
β–thalassemia major (β–TM) is a hereditary genetic disease hindered by many comorbidities due to transfusion–related iron. Despite iron chelation therapy increased the life expectancy up to 50 years today, Iron–related heart disease is still a leading complication, with an expected change in cardiac disease drivers with the ageing of these patients. This study aims to evaluate the distribution and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a population of thalassemia major patients, and their relationship with observed cardiovascular events and potential modifying factors.
Methods and Results
One–hundred fifty–nine β–TM patients older than 18 years of age were included in this study. Mean age was 40.9 ± 8.4 years. Low serum lipid levels with low HDL levels were noted, with 28% having diabetes mellitus and 62% with hypogonadism; Splenectomy was reported in 70%. During the observed period, 3.8% of patients had at least one episode of heart failure, 35.9% showed early signs of heart failure, 22% received a diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction, 38% had a left ventricular ejection fraction <55%, and 21.4% showed supraventricular arrhythmias. Cardiovascular risk was then assessed using two algorithms (CUORE and Pooled Cohort Risk Equation – PCRE) and was generally low despite the high burden of cardiac–related events. Patients with hypogonadism (who showed lower cardiac T2* value than those without; p < 0.001) showed a statistically significant correlation with the occurrence of cardiovascular events.
Discussion
The β–TM population has a relatively low mean age, but shows a particular metabolic profile associated with numerous comorbidities: an increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus, low HDL values and frequent hypogonadism, which tends to be associated with increased iron deposition in the myocardium. The cardiovascular risk estimated by specific algorithms (CUORE and PCRE) was generally low, probably due to the young age of the cohort and derivation pitfalls when applied to this specific population, but the prevalence of cardiac events was not negligible.
Conclusions
The chronic accumulation of iron in the heart and the specific metabolic profile, mainly observed in patients with hypogonadism, allows us to define β–TM as a condition with high cardiovascular risk from many points of view (iron–related myopathy, atherosclerosis and arrhythmias), which requires better stratification tools and specific follow–up program.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Clinicians need to identify patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC) at an early stage, due to the availability of disease–modifying therapies. Some echocardiographic findings may rise the suspicion of AC, also in patients with mild or no symptoms, addressing second level diagnostic tests.
Aim
To investigate the prevalence of AC in consecutive patients ≥55 years undergoing clinically indicated, routine transthoracic echocardiogram in Italy and presenting echocardiographic signs suggestive of AC.
Methods
This is a prospective multicentric study conducted in Italy. It comprises two phases: 1) a recording phase consisting in a national survey on prevalence of possible echocardiographic red flags of AC in consecutive unselected patients ≥55 years undergoing routine echocardiogram (previously published) and 2) an AC diagnostic phase involving a diagnostic work–up for AC to investigate AC prevalence among patients with at least one echocardiographic red flag (herein presented). Patients that in Phase 1 presented an “AC suggestive” echocardiogram (i.e., at least one red flag of AC in hypertrophic, non–dilated left ventricles with preserved ejection fraction) underwent clinical evaluation, blood and urine tests and scintigraphy with bone tracer. Diagnosis of transthyretin related–AC (ATTR–AC) was made in presence of grade 2–3 Perugini uptake at scintigraphy and absence of monoclonal protein. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT04738266).
Results
Of the 5315 screened echocardiograms, 381 exams (7.2%) were classified as “AC suggestive” and proceeded to Phase 2. 217 patients completed Phase 2 investigations. Main reasons for the 164 non–entering patients into Phase 2 were death (n = 49) and refusal to participate (n = 66). A final diagnosis of AC was made in 62 patients with an estimated prevalence of 28,6% (95% CI: 22,5%–34,7%). ATTR–AC was diagnosed in 51 and AL–AC in 11 patients, ascertaining a prevalence of 23,5% (95% CI: 17,8%–29,2%) and 5,1% (95% CI: 2,2%–8,0%), respectively.
Conclusion
Among a cohort of consecutive unselected patients ≥55 years with echocardiographic findings suggestive of AC, the prevalence of AC ranged from 23% up to 35%. Although ATTR–AC was predominant, AL–AC was diagnosed in a significant number of cases. Echocardiography has a fundamental role in screening patients, raising the suspicion of disease and orienting diagnostic work–up for AC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify features mainly involved in determining the partial response (PR) to the Electrochemotherapy (ECT) in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck (H&N) tumor; the identified features were also used in a decision chart in order to provide the clinician with a support tool in deciding further therapies. PATIENTS AND METHODS 131 patients (186 treatment sessions) with recurrent and/or metastatic H&N neoplasm were subjected to ECT. Treatment response was evaluated based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v. 1.1 two months after the ECT. The grade of bleeding and pain before, at the end and one week after ECT treatment were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify features involved in determining the patient PR. RESULTS In the context of the univariate analysis, tumor size significantly influenced the response to ECT, with higher PR rate of 58.3%: 28 among 48 patients with lesion size ≤ 3 centimeters (p-value < 0.001 at Chi-square test). Pain and bleeding pre-treatment were positively correlated to PR (p-value < 0.001 at Chi-square test). A difference in the current flowing in the tissue during treatment was also observed in partially responsive patients, where the median current value (6.6 A) was higher than that achieved in patients that did not show PR (3.3 A). In the context of the multivariate analysis, the best performances are achieved with the BART method (accuracy of 84%). The main clinical factors to predict the partial response, among investigated features, that have shown to be considered were the pain value felt before performing the treatment and the median current delivered during the ECT treatment. A decision-making support tool to predict the patient prognosis in terms of response rate could be represented by the decision tree obtained with CART algorithm, where a pain pre-treatment more than 5 and a median delivered current not less than 2.8 A led to the prediction a partial responsive patient with an accuracy of 75%. CONCLUSIONS The study confirmed that ECT is an interesting antitumoral therapy in advanced chemo- and radio-refractory H&N neoplasms, able to reduce frequent symptoms and to improve the quality of life. Pain pre-treatment and delivered current are the most important variables when predicting the partial response of patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular complications; myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and pulmonary embolism (PE), represent an important source of adverse outcomes in COVID-19 disease.
Objectives
To evaluate the incidence of thromboembolic events, specifically PE, MI and stroke; risk factors, management patterns and outcomes in patients who tested positive for COVID-19 through RT-PCR in a regional hospital.
Methods
We included 1125 adults patients admitted for COVID-19 infection between April 1 and October 30, 2020. The total cohort was analyzed by site of care: Intensive care (n=124) and nonintensive care (n=1001).
Results
Cardiovascular risk factors prevalence in patients with COVID-19 were: hypertension (25.5%), hyperlipidemia (23.2%) and diabetes (12%). Prophylactic anticoagulation and therapeutic anticoagulation was prescribed in intensive care group (91.1% and 33.1%, respectively) versus (84.8% and 12.5%, respectively) in nonintensive care setting. Frequencies of major arterial or venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction were highest in the intensive care group (29%, 20% and 8%, respectively) than nonintensive care cohort (1.4%, 0.7% and 0,5%, respectively). Hospital mortality was 29% in intensive care group and 1.3% in nonintensive care group.
Conclusions
Patients admitted for COVID-19 had a high risk of major arterial or venous thromboembolism events, especially in the intensive care setting, despite the use of thromboprophylaxis with heparin.

Abstract
The proposed THESEUS mission will vastly expand the capabilities to monitor the high-energy sky. It will specifically exploit large samples of gamma-ray bursts to probe the early universe back to the first generation of stars, and to advance multi-messenger astrophysics by detecting and localizing the counterparts of gravitational waves and cosmic neutrino sources. The combination and coordination of these activities with multi-wavelength, multi-messenger facilities expected to be operating in the 2030s will open new avenues of exploration in many areas of astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics, thus adding considerable strength to the overall scientific impact of THESEUS and these facilities. We discuss here a number of these powerful synergies and guest observer opportunities.

Abstract
On January 14, 2019, the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescopes detected GRB 190114C above 0.2 TeV, recording the most energetic photons ever observed from a gamma-ray burst. We use this unique observation to probe an energy dependence of the speed of light in vacuo for photons as predicted by several quantum gravity models. Based on a set of assumptions on the possible intrinsic spectral and temporal evolution, we obtain competitive lower limits on the quadratic leading order of speed of light modification.

Abstract
Maxillofacial departments in 23 surgical units in Italy have been increasingly involved in facing the COVID-19 emergency. Elective surgeries have been progressively postponed to free up beds and offer human and material resources to those infected. We compiled an inventory of 32 questions to evaluate the impact of the SARS-COV2 epidemic on maxillofacial surgery in 23 selected Italian maxillofacial departments. The questionnaire focused on three different aspects: the variation of the workload, showing both a reduction of the number of team members (-16% among specialists, -11% among residents) due to reallocation or contamination and a consistent reduction of elective activities (the number of outpatient visits cancelled during the first month of the COVID-19 epidemic was about 10 000 all over Italy), while only tumour surgery and trauma surgery has been widely guaranteed; the screening procedures on patients and physicians (22% of maxillofacial units found infected surgeons, which is 4% of all maxillofacial surgeons); and the availability of Personal Protective Equipment, is only considered to be partial in 48% of Maxillofacial departments. This emergency has forced those of us in the Italian health system to change the way we work, but only time will prove if these changes have been effective.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hypothyroidism is a common side effect of Sunitinib (SUN) treatment in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients. We aimed to evaluate thyroid profile during the alternative 2/1 SUN treatment schedule and to assess the predictive value of hypothyroidism in terms of survival. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study enrolling 42 consecutive mRCC patients starting first-line alternative SUN dosing 2/1 schedule. Thyroid function was assessed at baseline and during the first three SUN cycles (1 cycle = 6 weeks = 2 ON/1 OFF + 2 ON/1 OFF), and then after 6 and 12 months. Thyroid ultrasound was performed at baseline and after 3, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS Subclinical hypothyroidism developed in 24% of patients during the first cycle; in other 24% in the second cycle and in 14% in the third cycle. The highest TSH values were reached during the second cycle, ON phase (6.58 ± 5.74 μI U/l). We observed a reduction in thyroid size, in echogenicity and in parenchymal perfusion in all patients. Progression-free survival (PFS) tended to be longer in patients with TSH ≥ 5 μI U/ml during the second cycle (p = 0.069). TSH level was an independent risk factor for PFS in men (p = 0.009) but not in women (p = 0.285). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study investigating functional and morphological effects on thyroid during the alternative 2/1 SUN schedule in mRCC patients. We detected an early onset of subclinical hypothyroidism, observing the association between TSH ≥ 5 μI U/ml and: (i) longer PFS in men; (ii) progressive decrease of thyroid size in absence of significant changes in autoimmune thyroid profile.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute pancreatitis (AP) may present an aspecific clinical picture without abdominal symptoms (atypical AP). We compared clinical outcomes between typical and atypical AP. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty out of 1163 patients (2.6%) presented an atypical AP. Demographic, clinical data, laboratory and radiological findings, management type, length of hospital stay (LOS) and mortality rate were retrospectively reviewed. A case match analysis 2:1 was performed. The final groups comprised 50 typical APs (TAP group) and 25 atypical APs (AAP group). RESULTS The AAP patients presented fever (36%), syncope (32%) and dyspnea (16%) as the most frequent symptoms. Laboratory values showed similarity between the two groups. We noted a comparable edematous AP rate in both groups (p=0.36). Ten (20%) TAP and 3 (12%) AAP patients needed ERCP, respectively (p=0.38). Cholecystectomy was similarly performed in both cohorts (p=0.81). One TAP patient underwent a percutaneous drainage and subsequent surgical necrosectomy compared to none in the AAP cohort (p=0.47). LOS and mortality rate were comparable (p=0.76 and 0.3, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Similar outcomes have been reached in the two groups. Routine evaluation of the serum amylase values fundamentally contributed to early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present case report describes the surgical treatment of a traumatic craniodorsal luxation of the hip and a concomitant medial congenital luxation of the patella (3rd grade) in an 11-year-old Yorkshire Terrier. First the hip luxation was corrected with a cemented hip prosthesis. The femoral stem was inserted in slight anteversion (15°) with respect to the preoperative condition (5°), this contributed contrasting the medial traction of the femoral quadriceps on the patella, improving patellar luxation from 3rd to 2nd grade. However, the persistent patellar luxation and intermittent lameness reduced limb function and made a second intervention necessary. Four weeks after prosthetic surgery, a femoral trocleoplasty and lateral transposition of the tibial crest were performed to definitively re-establish a correct replacement of the patella in the femoral trochlea. No perioperative complications were found. At the final examination the patient did not show any lameness or pain that could be evoked when manipulating the surgically corrected limb. The surgical treatment allowed a restoration of the hip function and the alignment of the extensor mechanism of the femoral quadriceps and ensured a complete return to normal motor activities.

Abstract
Abstract
The qualitative event-specific polymerase chain reaction detection method of genetically modified (GM) RT73 rapeseed was developed based on the cloned 3 end flanking sequence of RT73 rapeseed integration. The specificity of the method for GM RT73 rapeseed was validated using several different GM rapeseed lines, GM maize lines, GM soybean line, non-GM rapeseed, and other non-GM crops. In this study, the developed method was validated through an interlaboratory study by 12 laboratories from 6 countries. The sensitivity of this method was evaluated using several mixed rapeseed meals with different GM RT73 rapeseed contents from 5.0 to 0.01 prepared by our laboratory. The evaluated results showed that all of the rapeseed endogenous reference high mobility group protein gene (HMG I/Y), figwort mosaic virus 35S (FMV 35S) promoter, and RT73 event-specific fragment could be detected from rapeseed samples at 0.1 (w/w) with a confidence level of more than 95. All results from the 12 laboratories indicated that the developed method could be considered fit for the detection and identification of GM RT73 rapeseed.
