Abstract

Background: A key issue in abdominal US is the assessment of fluid, which is usually anechoic, thus appearing “black”. Our approach focuses on searching for fluid in non-traumatic patients, providing a new, simplified method for point-of-care US (POCUS). Objective: Fluid assessment is based on a three-step analysis that we can thus summarize. 1. Look for black where it should not be. This means searching for effusions or collections. 2. Check if black is too much. This means evaluating anatomical landmarks where fluid should normally be present but may be abnormally abundant. 3. Look for black that is not clearly black. This means evaluating fluid aspects, whether wholly anechoic or not (suggesting heterogeneous or corpusculated fluid). Discussion: Using this simple method focused on US fluid presence and appearance should help clinicians to make a timely diagnosis. Although our simplified, systematic algorithm of POCUS may identify abnormalities; this usually entails a second-level imaging. An accurate knowledge of the physio–pathological and anatomical ultrasound bases remains essential in applying this algorithm. Conclusion: The black pattern approach in non -traumatic emergencies may be applied to a broad spectrum of abnormalities. It may represent a valuable aid for emergency physicians, especially if inexperienced, involved in a variety of non-traumatic scenarios. It may also be a simple and effective teaching aid for US beginners.

Abstract

Objective To develop and validate new Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score 10 (JADAS10) and clinical JADAS10 (cJADAS10) cutoffs to separate the states of inactive disease (ID), minimal disease activity (MiDA), moderate disease activity (MoDA), and high disease activity (HDA) in children with oligoarthritis and with rheumatoid factor-negative polyarthritis, based on subjective disease assessment by the treating pediatric rheumatologist. Methods The cutoffs definition cohort was composed of 1,936 patients included in the multinational Epidemiology, Treatment and Outcome of Childhood Arthritis (EPOCA) study. Using the subjective physician rating as an external criterion, 4 methods were applied to identify the cutoffs: mapping, Youden index, 90% specificity, and maximum agreement. The validation cohort included 4,014 EPOCA patients, patients from 2 randomized trials, and 88 patients from the PharmaChild registry. Cutoff validation was conducted by assessing discriminative and predictive ability. Results The JADAS10 cutoffs were 1.4, 4, and 13, respectively, for oligoarthritis and 2.7, 6, and 17, respectively, for polyarthritis. The cJADAS10 cutoffs were 1.1, 4, and 12, respectively, for oligoarthritis and 2.5, 5, and 16, respectively, for polyarthritis. The cutoffs discriminated strongly among different levels of pain and morning stiffness, between patients who were and those who were not prescribed a new medication, and between different levels of improvement in clinical trials. Achievement of ID and MiDA according to the new JADAS cutoffs at least twice in the first year of disease predicted better outcome at 2 years. Conclusion The 2021 JADAS and cJADAS cutoffs revealed good metrologic properties in both definition and validation samples, and are therefore suitable for use in clinical trials and routine practice.

Abstract

Although a satisfactory disease control is nowadays achievable in most patients with JIA, a substantial proportion of them still do not respond adequately or reach long-term drug-free remission. According to current recommendations, treatment should be escalated in subsequent steps. A different approach is based on the assumption that the initial start of an aggressive therapy may take advantage of the "window of opportunity" and could alter the biology of the disease, leading to an improvement of long-term outcomes, including the prevention of cumulative joint damage.This randomised clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a conventional therapeutic regimen, based on treatment escalation and driven by the treat-to-target approach, with that of an early aggressive intervention based on the initial start of a combination of conventional and biological DMARDs.JIA patients with oligoarthritis or RF negative polyarthritis aged more than 2 years and with less than 4 months of disease course will be included in the study. Children will be randomised into two arms: patients in Step-up arm with less severe oligoarthritis will undergo an intra-articular corticosteroid injection (IACI) in all affected joints; patients with polyarthritis or severe oligoarthritis will receive IACI and methotrexate. Subsequent treatment will follow a standardised protocol based on the patients' level of disease activity measured with the JADAS, according to a treat-to-target strategy. Patients in Step-down arm will receive a 6-month early combined treatment (methotrexate plus IACI for less severe oligoarthritis, methotrexate plus etanercept for severe oligoarthritis and polyarthritis). The primary endpoint is the frequency of achievement of the status of clinical remission (i.e. persistence of inactive disease for at least 6 months) at the 12-month visit. Safety events, physician-centred measures and parent/patient-reported outcomes will be collected through the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation on line database.The STARS trial aims to provide important evidence supporting the first-line treatment choices in the care of children with oligoarticular and polyarticular JIA. If the superiority of an early aggressive therapy will be demonstrated, this will demand further studies on the biological definition of the window of opportunity for JIA.The Trial is registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov registry (NCT03728478) on the 31st October 2018 and EU Clinical Trials Register on the 14th May 2018 (EudraCT Number: 2018-001931-27).

Abstract

Survival of cancer and myeloma patients after diagnosis of medication-related Osteonecrosis of Jaws (ONJ) has not adequately been reported. ONJ is not rare in patients with bone metastatic cancer and myeloma patients, occurring mostly after prolonged treatment with antiresorptive drugs (zoledronic acid and other bisphosphonates, and/or denosumab). On the other hand, expected residual survival can influence the choice of ONJ treatment strategies (surgical versus conservative). We reviewed survival data after ONJ diagnosis time of 609 patients registered in the regional database of a cancer network in North-Western Italy (Rete Oncologica di Piemonte e Valle d’Aosta). Main characteristics. Disease: metastatic breast cancer 43%; myeloma 24.1%; prostate cancer 19.2%; lung cancer 5.7.% renal cancer 3.2% other cancer types 4.8%. Sex: 237 M, 372 F. Median age 69 (32-90) years. Main treatment: 79.1% zoledronic acid, 4.8% denosumab; 16.1 % other drugs or drug sequences. Observed actuarial median survival after the registered ONJ diagnosis time was 29 (95% CI 26-35) months for breast cancer patients, 31 (95% CI 28-43) months for myeloma patients, 19 (95% CI 15-26) months for prostate cancer patients, 11 (95% CI 5-19) months for lung cancer patients, 30 (95% CI 13-57) months for renal cancer patients, 53 (95% CI 17-84) months for other cancer patients. Two, three and four-year actuarial survival were respectively: 57.6%, 42.2%, 33.9% for breast cancer patients, 64.6%, 44.9%, 36% for myeloma patients, 42.7%, 27.3%, 19.6% for prostate patients; 28.5%, 14.3%, 11.4% for lung cancer patients; 57.8%, 36.8%, 26.3% for renal cancer patients; 62%, 58.6%, 58.6% for others cancer types. In conclusion, expected survival after ONJ diagnosis is not really short (less than one year) in most of ONJ patients. Our data do not support generalized exclusion of jawbone surgery in ONJ patients due to expected short survival.

Abstract

The Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) is a new parent/patient reported outcome measure that enables a thorough assessment of the disease status in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the parent and patient versions of the JAMAR in the Italian language.The reading comprehension of the questionnaire was tested in 10 JIA parents and patients. Each participating centre was asked to collect demographic, clinical data and the JAMAR in 100 consecutive JIA patients or all consecutive patients seen in a 6-month period and to administer the JAMAR to 100 healthy children and their parents.The statistical validation phase explored descriptive statistics and the psychometric issues of the JAMAR: the 3 Likert assumptions, floor/ceiling effects, internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha, interscale correlations, test-retest reliability, and construct validity (convergent and discriminant validity).A total of 1296 JIA patients (7.2% systemic, 59.5% oligoarticular, 21.4% RF negative polyarthritis, 11.9% other categories) and 100 healthy children, were enrolled in 18 centres. The JAMAR components discriminated well healthy subjects from JIA patients except for the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Psychosocial Health (PsH) subscales. All JAMAR components revealed good psychometric performances.In conclusion, the Italian version of the JAMAR is a valid tool for the assessment of children with JIA and is suitable for use both in routine clinical practice and clinical research.

Abstract

The aim of this project was to cross-culturally adapt and validate the Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) questionnaire in 54 languages across 52 different countries that are members of the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO). This effort was part of a wider project named Epidemiology and Outcome of Children with Arthritis (EPOCA) to obtain information on the frequency of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories in different geographic areas, the therapeutic approaches adopted, and the disease status of children with JIA currently followed worldwide. A total of 13,843 subjects were enrolled from the 49 countries that took part both in the cross-cultural adaptation phase and in the related validation and data collection: Algeria, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Libya, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom and United States of America. 9021 patients had JIA (10.7% systemic arthritis, 41.9% oligoarthritis, 23.5% RF negative polyarthritis, 4.2% RF positive polyarthritis, 3.4% psoriatic arthritis, 10.6% enthesitis-related arthritis and 5.7% undifferentiated arthritis) while 4822 were healthy children. This introductory paper describes the overall methodology; results pertaining to each country are fully described in the accompanying manuscripts. In conclusion, the JAMAR translations were found to have satisfactory psychometric properties and it is thus a reliable and valid tool for the multidimensional assessment of children with JIA.

PurposeTo evaluate, throughout model analysis and evaluation of existing literature and personal experience, which can be the benefits of routine performance of prehospital ultrasound in the different models of prehospital emergency medical service.MethodsThe existing literature was reviewed.ConclusionsThe ultrasound can be a very valuable asset in both the Anglo-American and the Franco-German models. In the latter, however, its role is further emphasized since US-enhanced on-spot early diagnosis performed by the physician can be beneficial to the whole system and not just the single patient.

Abstract

Comparison between low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and clonazepam for treating burning mouth syndrome (BMS) patients has never been documented; the aim of this study was to assess the effects of LLLT photobiomodulation versus medical therapy with clonazepam on BMS. Thirty-three patients (25 female, 8 male, mean age = 67.12) were randomly allocated to two different groups: the first one (group A, 18 patients) underwent two laser irradiation sessions weekly for 5 weeks, whereas the second one (group B, 15 patients) received topical clonazepam therapy [half a tablet (2 mg) in the mouth without swallowing for 3 min, three times a day for 21 days]. LLLT was delivered with a continuous wave 980-nm aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) diode laser and the output of 300 mW, delivering a Fluence of 10 J/cm(2), using a "spot technique," with an average power density of about 1 W/cm(2). The laser probe was held perpendicularly at a distance of about 2 mm from the mucosa. Visual analogue scale (VAS), McGill Pain Questionnaire, present pain intensity (PPI), and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49) assessed sensation of pain. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Geriatric Depression Scale assessed levels of anxiety and depression. Twelve weeks after the end of treatment, patients treated with LLLT experienced a decrease in pain sensation reported for all the parameters analyzed: VAS (P = 0.004), McGill Pain Questionnaire (P = 0.002), PPI (P = 0.002), and OHIP-49 (P = 0.010). The group treated with clonazepam had less favorable results for VAS (P = 0.33), McGill Pain Questionnaire (P = 0.005), PPI (P = 0.013), and OHIP-49 (P = 0.25). Levels of anxiety and depression did not change statistically in any groups (P > 0.05). Comparing the two groups, LLLT appeared to be superior in improving pain perception, but statistically only at 8 weeks after the end of the protocol proposed (P = 0.026). Based on this preliminary trial, LLLT is capable of reducing the symptoms of patients with BMS with a constant and long-lasting effect, experienced since the end of the first applications.

Abstract

The epidemiology of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is variable worldwide. In particular, a wide disparity exists in the prevalence of the diverse disease subtypes across different geographic areas. The therapeutic approach to JIA is not standardized and no established and widely accepted guidelines are available. In the past decade, there have been important progresses in the management of the disease, but the availability of the novel and costly biologic medications is not uniform throughout the world. This issue may have significant impact on disease prognosis, with children living in poorer countries being at greater risk of accumulating disease- and treatment-related damage than children followed in Western pediatric rheumatology centers. The multinational study of the EPidemiology, treatment and Outcome of Childhood Arthritis (EPOCA study) is aimed to obtain information on the frequency of JIA subtypes in different geographic areas, the therapeutic approaches adopted by pediatric rheumatologists practicing in diverse countries or continents, and the disease and health status of children with JIA currently followed worldwide. Parent- and child-reported outcomes are meant to be recorded through the administration of a new multidimensional questionnaire, the Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR). The first step of the study is based on the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaire in the national language of each participating country. Each center is, then, asked to enroll a sample of consecutive JIA patients, who should undergo a retrospective assessment and a cross-sectional evaluation, including completion of the JAMAR, a standardized joint examination, and the assessment of articular and extra-articular damage. At the end of May 2012, 124 centers in 55 countries have agreed to participate in the study. The JAMAR has been or is currently being translated in 38 national languages. The target patient sample is more than 10,000 JIA children worldwide.

Abstract

La questione era gia stata sollevata in passato da Ernest Seilliere: il suo saggio Les Goncourt motalistes, tuttavia, non aveva mantenuto la promessa implicita nel titolo, cioe non aveva saputo illustrare la ragione per cui i fratelli “inventori” del naturalismo potessero in qualche modo essere accostati ai grandi moralisti del XVII secolo. L’A. decide quindi di riproporre tale teoria e nell’argomentazione della propria tesi non puo che partire dal ricordare come i fratelli stessi furono, fin...

Abstract

L’articolo si pone come obiettivo quello di fornire una nuova e forse piu precisa chiave di lettura del «monstre d’or» evocato nella parte iniziale del Toast Funebre di Mallarme. Interpretato spesso come un semplice ornamento, esso rappresenta in realta un’“immagine eucaristica « profondamente legata ad ognuna delle tematiche principali presenti nell’opera in oggetto. Quest’immagine, che serve a negare la presenza reale e concreta del Cristo al momento della celebrazione della S. Messa, e fon...

Remy de Gourmont era discendente di alcuni dei piu importanti tipografi e librai del XV e XVI secolo, tra cui Gilles de Gourmont, a cui si devono le prime stampe parigine fatte in caratteri greci ed ebraici. Al pari dei suoi antenati, lo stesso Remy si appassiono alla creazione tipografica dei libri, operando per molti anni come “autore-editore” e curando in particolare la rivista «L’Ymagier», che promosse sulle pagine del «Mercure de France» come rivista di immagini, e studi sulle immagini e...

Abstract

Le relazioni di uno scrittore con il proprio editore sono spesso alterne, come insegna Baudelaire. In oggetto ora e il rapporto, sicuramente singolare, che esistette tra i fratelli Goncourt (ed inseguito il solo Edmond, conservatore sempre piu tendenzialmente monarchico), con l’editore Gervais Charpentier (e successivamente con suo figlio Georges), fieri repubblicani. Ma l’A. mostra come le divergenze non fossero soltanto di natura politica, ma squisitamente editoriali: se da un lato Gervais ...
