Abstract

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a relevant problem in the pediatric population, having a very high prevalence. Diurnal incontinence and nocturnal enuresis are surely the most frequent symptoms, presenting, respectively, in up to 30% of school-age children and up to 10% of children between 6 and 7 years. Stypsis is the most common comorbidity, and it must be considered in the management of LUTS; indeed, the treatment of constipation is curative in most cases for both incontinence and enuresis. The presence or absence of diurnal symptoms in nocturnal enuresis and urgency in diurnal incontinence helps in the differential diagnosis. Urotherapy is always the first-line treatment, while oxybutynin and desmopressin (where appropriate) may help if the first-line treatment is unsuccessful. It is essential to identify conditions that are potentially dangerous for kidney and urinary tract well-being, for which LUTS can be the first manifestation. Starting from a series of clinical scenarios, we will underline the diagnostic clues behind LUTS in children and we will summarize clinical and surgical approaches for the proper management of these conditions.

Abstract

The constant decline in fertility and older reproductive age is the major cause of low clinical pregnancy rates in industrialised countries. Epigenetic mechanisms impact on proper embryonic development in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) protocols. Here, we describe the main epigenetic modifications that may influence female reproduction and could affect IVF success. Graphical Abstract

Abstract

Abstract Background The complex relationship between oocyte morphology, specific follicular fluid metabolites, gene expression in cumulus granulosa cells, and oocyte competence toward fertilization and embryo development still needs further clarification. Methods Forty-six oocytes retrieved from the largest pre-ovulatory follicle of patients undergoing intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were considered assessing: (a) oocyte morphological characteristics at polarized light microscopy (PLM), (b) specific follicular fluid (FF) metabolites previously suggested to influence oocyte competence (AMH, markers of redox status and of cytotoxicity), (c) transcription of AMH and AMH type II receptor genes in cumulus cells. Data were analyzed using mono-parametric tests and multivariable logistic analysis in order to correlate morphological and biochemical data with fertilization. Results Comparing normally fertilized oocytes (n = 29, F group) with unfertilized (n = 17, nF group) we observed that: (a) the meiotic spindle area and major axis were significantly higher in nF group and in fertilized oocytes undergoing an early embryo development arrest; (b) AMH level in FF was comparable in F and nF groups; (c) the FF of nF group contained significantly higher levels of cytotoxicity (lactate dehydrogenase) and oxidative stress (Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, catalase, 4-hydroxynonenal-protein conjugates) markers; (d) cumulus cells of nF group showed significantly higher AMH receptor type II gene expression. Conclusions Taken together, these observations suggest that an excessive cytotoxicity level can alter AMH signal transduction within cumulus cells, in turn leading to partial inhibition of aromatase activity, altered cytoplasmic maturation and increased oxidative stress, factors able to impair oocyte fertilization competence and embryo growth.

Abstract

Background Fertility-sparing treatments (FSTs) have played a crucial role in the management of early-stage cervical cancer (ECC). The guidelines have recognized various approaches, depending on the tumor stage and other risk factors such as histotype and lymphovascular positivity. Much more debate has centered around the boundary within which these treatments should be considered. Indeed, these are methods to be reserved for ECC, but tumor size may represent the most significant limitation. In particular, there is no consensus on the strategy to be adopted in the case of ECC ≥ 2 cm. Therefore, this systematic review was to collect the literature evidence regarding the management of these patients. Methods Following the recommendations in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, we systematically searched the Pubmed and Scopus databases was conducted in April 2022, from the date of the first publication. We made no limitation on the country. We included all studies containing data on disease-free survival, overall survival, recurrence rate (RR), or complete response rate (CRR) to chemotherapy. Results Twenty-six studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and 691 patients were analyzed regarding FST. Surgery-based FST showed an RR of between 0 and 42.9%, which drops to 12.9% after excluding the vaginal or minimally invasive approaches. Furthermore, papers regarding FST based on the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) approach showed a CRR of between 21.4 and 84.5%, and an RR of between 0 and 22.2% Conclusion This paper focused on the significant heterogeneity present in the clinical management of FST of ECC ≥ 2 cm. Nevertheless, from an oncological point of view, approaches limited to the minimally invasive or vaginal techniques showed the highest RR. Vice versa, the lack of standardization of NACT schemes and the wealth of confounders to be attributed to the histological features of the tumor make it difficult, if not impossible, to set a standard of treatment.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to assess the 5-year outcomes of patients undergoing conization for high-grade cervical lesions that simultaneously present as risk factors in the persistence of HPV infection and the positivity of surgical resection margins. This is a retrospective study evaluating patients undergoing conization for high-grade cervical lesions. All patients included had both positive surgical margins and experienced HPV persistence at 6 months. Associations were evaluated with Cox proportional hazard regression and summarized using hazard ratio (HR). The charts of 2966 patients undergoing conization were reviewed. Among the whole population, 163 (5.5%) patients met the inclusion criteria, being at high risk due to the presence of positive surgical margins and experiencing HPV persistence. Of 163 patients included, 17 (10.4%) patients developed a CIN2+ recurrence during the 5-year follow-up. Via univariate analyses, diagnosis of CIN3 instead of CIN2 (HR: 4.88 (95%CI: 1.10, 12.41); p = 0.035) and positive endocervical instead of ectocervical margins (HR: 6.44 (95%CI: 2.80, 9.65); p < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of persistence/recurrence. Via multivariate analyses, only positive endocervical instead of ectocervical margins (HR: 4.56 (95%CI: 1.23, 7.95); p = 0.021) were associated with worse outcomes. In this high-risk group, positive endocervical margins is the main risk factor predicting 5-year recurrence.

Abstract

Objectives: The main goal of our research was to explore correlations between a history of uterine myomectomy and maternal-fetal outcomes, throughout a comparison between vaginal deliveries in patients with or without a history of uterine myoma excision. Materials and methods: A prospective study was carried out at two tertiary care hospitals between January 2019 and January 2020. Women were assigned into two groups according to the history of laparoscopic or laparotomic myomectomy (Group 1) or without myomectomy (Group 2). Results: 80 women successfully delivered after myomectomy. Pregnancies with previous laparoscopic or laparotomic myomectomy were associated with a minor rate of spontaneous labor onset (RR 1.17; 95% CI 1.04 − 1.31) and with an increased rate of emergency cesarean section (RR 1.22; 95% CI 1.09 − 1.36). Moreover, myomectomy group had a significant number of indications to emergency cesarean section correlated to suspected uterine rupture (RR 1.19; 95% CI 1.02–1.39). There were no uterine ruptures or neonatal deaths recorded. First stage of labor was longer in the myomectomy group (316 vs 204 mins, p = 0.01). No differences in the rates of the prolonged first and second stage of labor, postpartum hemorrhage and vaginal laceration, and no neonatal adverse outcomes were found between groups. Conclusions: Pregnancies after myomectomy might be associated with an elevated rate of emergency cesarean section only due to a higher percentage of suspected uterine rupture, without a real hazard of adverse obstetric or neonatal outcomes.

Abstract

Radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy are considered the standard treatment for early-stage cervical cancer (ECC). Minimal Invasive approach to this surgery has been debated after the publication of a recent prospective randomized trial (Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer, LACC trial). It demonstrated poorer oncological outcomes for Minimal Invasive Surgery in ECC. However, the reasons are still an open debate. Laparo-Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVRH) seems to be a logical option to Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy (ARH). This meta-analysis has the aim to prove it.Following the recommendations in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, the Pubmed database and Scopus database were systematically searched in January 2022 since early first publications. No limitation of the country was made. Only English article were considered. The studies containing data about Disease-free Survival (DFS) and/or Overall Survival (OS) and/or Recurrence Rate (RcR) were included.19 studies fulfilled inclusion criteria. 9 comparative studies were enrolled in meta-analysis. Patients were analyzed concerning surgical approach (Laparo-Assisted Vaginal Radical Hysterectomy) and compared with ARH Oncological outcomes such as DFS and OS were considered. 3196 patiets were included for the review. Meta-analysis of 1988 0f them highlighted a non-statistic significant difference between LARVH and ARH (RR 0.8 [95% CI 0.55-1.16] p = 0.24; ILARVH does not appear to affect DFS and OS in ECC patients. The proposed results seem to be comparable with the open approach group of the LACC trial, which today represents the reference standard for the treatment of this pathology. More studies will be needed to test the safety and efficacy of LARVH in the ECC.

Abstract

Background: Primary prevention through vaccination is a prophylactic approach aiming to reduce the risk of developing human papillomavirus (HPV)-related lesions. No mature and long-term data supported the adoption of vaccination in women undergoing conization. Methods: This is a retrospective multi-institutional study. Charts of consecutive patients undergoing conization between 2010 and 2014 were collected. All patients included had at least 5 years of follow-up. We compared outcomes of patients undergoing conization plus vaccination and conization alone. A propensity-score matching algorithm was applied in order to reduce allocation biases. The risk of developing recurrence was estimated using Kaplan-Meir and Cox hazard models. Results: Overall, charts of 1914 women were analyzed. The study group included 116 (6.1%) and 1798 (93.9%) women undergoing conization plus vaccination and conization alone, respectively. Five-year recurrence rate was 1.7% (n = 2) and 5.7% (n = 102) after conization plus vaccination and conization alone, respectively (p = 0.068). After the application of a propensity-score matching, we selected 100 patients undergoing conization plus vaccination and 200 patients undergoing conization alone. The crude number of recurrences was 2 (2%) and 11 (5.5%) for patients undergoing conization plus vaccination and conization alone, respectively (p = 0.231). Vaccination had no impact on persistent lesions (no negative examination between conization and new cervical dysplasia; p = 0.603), but reduced the risk of recurrent disease (patients who had at least one negative examination between conization and the diagnosis of recurrent cervical dysplasia; p = 0.031). Conclusions: Patients having vaccination experience a slightly lower risk of recurrence than women who had not, although not statistically significantly different. Further evidence is needed to assess the cost effectiveness of adopting vaccination in this setting.

Abstract

The environmental release of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) associated with their intensive use has been reported to have a genotoxic effect on male fertility. TiO2NP is able to bind and transport environmental pollutants, such as cadmium (Cd), modifying their availability and/or toxicity. The aim of this work is to assess the in vitro effect of TiO2NPs and cadmium interaction in human sperm cells. Semen parameters, apoptotic cells, sperm DNA fragmentation, genomic stability and oxidative stress were investigated after sperm incubation in cadmium alone and in combination with TiO2NPs at different times (15, 30, 45 and 90 min). Our results showed that cadmium reduced sperm DNA integrity, and increased sperm DNA fragmentation and oxidative stress. The genotoxicity induced by TiO2NPs-cadmium co-exposure was lower compared to single cadmium exposure, suggesting an interaction of the substances to modulate their reactivity. The Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) computational method showed that the interaction between TiO2NPs and cadmium leads to the formation of a sandwich-like structure, with cadmium in the middle, which results in the inhibition of its genotoxicity by TiO2NPs in human sperm cells.

Abstract

Background and objectives: Male infertility is a global health dilemma and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) administration has shown promising results. Several studies showed that infertile men with normal semen parameters have low levels of DNA damage while infertile men with abnormal semen parameters have more damage at the DNA level. Sperm DNA damage may affect the reproductive outcome and has been associated with failure in the achievement of competent embryos and pregnancy fulfillment. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the administration of recombinant FSH (Gonal-f® PEN 900 IU) could improve sperm DNA fragmentation in men with infertility. The secondary endpoints of this study were to evaluate the FSH effects on sperm parameters and hormonal assets.Methods: A longitudinal, prospective, multicenter, open-label clinical trial was carried out. Infertile couples were recruited from six Italian Reproductive Medical Centers and 115 infertile men were enrolled for this study. All participants were treated with subcutaneous injections of Gonal-f® 150 IU every other day, within a 3 month-time frame. The semen samples were examined in accordance to the 2010 World Health Organization criteria. Sperm DNA Fragmentation (DFI) was determined by fluorescence microscopy using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d-UTP Nick-end Labeling (TUNEL) assay. Statistical analysis was performed using both the t-test for paired samples and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: FSH administration improved DFI in 67% of patients, with an average decrease of 35.4% compared to the baseline. This improvement is more evident in men with basal DFI lower than 17% and in those with FSH basal levels between 2.16 and 4.27 IU/L. In addition, FSH enhanced the gonadal function, increasing the hormones AMH and Inhibin B and semen parameters. Limitation of these results are represented by the absence of a placebo group and of FSHR genotype stratification sub-analysis.Conclusion: Recombinant FSH 150 IU is well tolerated and effective in eliciting a significant DFI reduction as well as in improving gonadal function.Trial Registration: EUDRACT Number 2010-020196-23.

Abstract

Background: Obesity represents a critical health issue and it is also a risk factor for pelvic floor disorders (PFD). It is important to screen patients for obesity to assess their quality of life (QOL) and reduce health care costs. Methods: We evaluated the prevalence of PFD, such as urinary incontinence (UI), fecal incontinence (FI), constipation, rectal and female pelvic organ prolapse, and also the QOL of obese patients referred to our center. Results: The most prevalent PFD was constipation, affecting 18% (n = 71) of the patients, 11% for FI (n = 43), and 17% for UI (n = 67). The QOL, according to the Short Form-36 results, was worse in the obese group with PFD than the obese patients without PFD (p < 0.01). In only one subscale, mental health, the difference was not statistically different. Conclusions: The prevalence of PFD was almost similar between the obese and the control group. However, obese patients with PFD present a lower QOL than obese patients without PFD. This aspect is essential to investigate on embarrassing health problems, often hidden by patients, to improve QOL.

Abstract

Purpose Abnormal flow in the ductus venosus (DV) has been reported to be associated with adverse perinatal outcome, chromosomal abnormalities, and congenital heart defects (CHD). Aneuploid fetuses have increased risk of CHD, but there are discrepancies on the performance of this markers in euploid fetuses. The aim of this meta-analysis was to establish the predictive accuracy of DV for CHD. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched from inception to February 2022. No language or geographical restrictions were applied. Inclusion criteria regarded observational and randomized studies concerning first-trimester DV flow as CHD marker. Random effect meta-analyses to calculate risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI), hierarchical summary receiver-operating characteristics (HSROC), and bivariate models to evaluate diagnostic accuracy were used. Primary outcome was the diagnostic performance of DV in detecting prenatal CHD by means of area under the curve (AUROC). Subgroup analysis for euploid, high-risk, and normal NT fetuses was performed. Quality assessment of included papers was performed using QUADAS-2. Results Twenty two studies, with a total of 204.829 fetuses undergoing first trimester scan with DV Doppler evaluation, fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Overall, abnormal DV flow at the time of first trimester screening was associated to an increased risk of CHD (RR 6.9, 95% CI 3.7–12.6; I2 = 95.2%) as well in unselected (RR: 6.4, 95% CI 2.5–16.4; I2 = 93.3%) and in euploid (RR: 6.45, 95% CI 3.3–12.6; I2 = 95.8%) fetuses. The overall diagnostic accuracy of abnormal DV in detecting CHD was good in euploid fetuses with an AUROC of 0.81 (95% CI 0.78–0.84), but it was poor in the high-risk group with an AUROC of 0.66 (95% CI 0.62–0.70) and in the unselected population with an AUROC of 0.44 (95% CI 0.40–0.49). Conclusions Abnormal DV in the first trimester increases the risk of CHD with a moderate sensitivity for euploid fetuses. In combination with other markers (NT, TV regurgitation) could be helpful to identify fetuses otherwise considered to be at low risk for CHD. In addition to the improvement of the fetal heart examination in the first trimester, this strategy can increase the detection of major CHD at earlier stage of pregnancy.

Abstract

We aimed to assess the characteristics and integration of immunization services into the prenatal care provided by maternity care units (MCUs) in Italy.A cross-sectional nationwide study using a web-based survey was conducted from June to August 2021. The study population consisted of 342 ob-gyns, members of the Italian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecologists and heads of MCUs. The main outcome was to assess the performance of several vaccine-related services among the surveyed MCUs.Overall, 112 out of 342 MCUs completed the survey, for an overall response rate of 32.7%. Almost all MCUs (96.4%) provided vaccine information, but only 22% had an onsite vaccination clinic. Less than half (43.8%) offered vaccines during prenatal visits and 75% of those sites required women to set up an extra appointment for vaccination. Although 68% MCUs recorded vaccines administered, only 20% of them managed to record vaccines in their own medical records. The institutional-logistic issues were the most voted vaccination barrier (40.2%).Institutional barriers and lack of certain vaccine-related services offered during prenatal care in Italian MCUs might be responsible for many missed vaccination opportunities. Embedding maternal immunization programs within the current prenatal care services might optimize vaccine coverage.

Abstract

ObjectivesSurvival of patients with cervical cancer is strongly associated with the local extent of the primary disease. The aim of the study was to develop an integrated diagnostic algorithm, including ultrasonography (USG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and examination under anesthesia, to define the local extent of disease in patients with newly diagnosed cervical cancer.MethodsPatients with biopsy proven cervical cancer who underwent primary surgery from January 2013 to December 2018 in four participating centers were recruited. Patients who underwent USG, MRI, and examination under anesthesia prior to surgery were included in the study. Those for whom complete data were not available were excluded. Data regarding tumor size, parametrial invasion, and vaginal involvement obtained by USG, MRI, and examination under anesthesia were retrieved and compared with final histology. Specificity and sensitivity of the three methods were calculated for each parameter and the methods were compared with each other. An integrated pre-surgical algorithm was constructed considering the accuracy of each diagnostic method for each parameter.ResultsA total of 79 consecutive patients were included in the study. Median age was 53 years (range 28–87) and median body mass index was 24.6 kg/m2 (range 16–43). Fifty-five (69.6%) patients had squamous carcinoma, 18 (22.8%) patients had adenocarcinoma, and six (7.6%) patients had other histological subtypes. A statistically significant difference among the three methods was found for detecting tumor size (p=0.002 for tumors >2 cm and p=0.006 for tumors >4 cm) and vaginal involvement (p=0.01). There was no difference in detection of parametrial invasion between USG, MRI, and examination under anesthesia (p=0.26). Furthermore, regarding tumor size assessment, USG was found to be the significantly better method (p2 cm and p=0.02 for tumors >4 cm). Examination under anesthesia was the most accurate method for detection of vaginal involvement (p=0.01). Examination under anesthesia and MRI had higher accuracy than USG for identification of parametrial invasion. Application of the algorithm provided the correct definition of local extent of disease in 77.2% of patients (p=0.04). USG was the most accurate method to determine tumor size, while examination under anesthesia was found to be more accurate in prediction of vaginal involvement.ConclusionOur integrated diagnostic algorithm allows a higher accuracy in defining the local extent of disease and may be used as a tool to determine the therapeutic approach in women with cervical cancer.

Abstract

Background: Besides hot-flushes, sleep disturbances increase around menopause, impacting on the quality of life. When hormone replacement therapy is contraindicated, it is necessary to provide alternative treatments. Objectives: This study aimed to observe the effects of an herbal remedy from pollen extracts and soy isoflavones for menopausal complaints, particularly on sleep disorders. Methods: A six-month prospective observational study was performed in women in natural menopause suffering from menopausal symptoms and sleep disturbances. Three groups were compared: 57 women receiving two tablets/ day containing herbal remedy from pollen extracts (group A), 60 women receiving one tablet/day containing isoflavones 60 mg (group B), 47 women not receiving any treatment (group C). At 3 (T3) and 6 months (T6), the daily number of hot-flushes, Kupperman index for menopausal symptoms, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) test were assessed. Results: Both groups A and B showed a significant improvement of hot flushes (p Conclusions: Non-hormonal treatments can effectively be used in symptomatic menopausal women: among these, after six months of treatment, pollen extracts might achieve a better improvement of hot flushes, sleep disturbances and menopause-related symptoms than soy isoflavones. Herbal remedy from pollen extracts is mainly effective when the quality of sleep is the most disturbing complaint.

Abstract

Introduction Prolonged labor increases the risk of maternal and fetal complications. The active management of labor has been proven effective in lowering neonatal and maternal morbidity by shortening the duration of labor. Several pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical approaches are currently being used in the active management of labor. Hyoscine Butyl-bromide (HBB) is an antispasmodic and anticholinergic drug that acts as a cervical spasmolytic agent. It has been widely used in everyday practice for shortening the active phase of labor. Nonetheless, only a few trials have been conducted on the topic. Objective This review aimed to evaluate whether HBB is effective in decreasing the mean duration of the active phase of labor. Study design An electronic search was conducted on Medline (through PubMed), Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, EMBASE, PROSPERO, and Cochrane Library from the beginning of all databases to December 2019. Results were limited to randomized trials. Restriction for English language was applied. Inclusion criteria were: randomized clinical trials regarding primiparae or multiparae women with a singleton vertex pregnancy at term who were randomized to HBB versus placebo or other drugs. Primary outcome evaluated was the mean reduction of the active phase of labor. Data collection and analysis Eight randomized clinical trials, including 1159 pregnant women, were analyzed. Significant heterogeneity (I2 = 99 %) between studies was noted for the primary outcome. The active phase of labor duration was significantly reduced in the treatment arm compared to controls [mean difference (MD) −83.93 min (95 % confidence interval (CI) −163.61, −4.25)]. Achieved reduction in primiparae women was −55.09 min [95 % CI −68.83, −41.35; I2 = 37 %]. Conclusion HBB is an effective treatment to shorten the duration of the active phase of labor in primiparae and multiparae women.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to characterize both by flow cytometry analysis and immunohistochemistry cervix uteri cells of nulliparous women screened for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in comparison to a group without CIN by using mesenchymal stem cell-like and hematopoietic lineage markers. A significant expression for CD29, CD38, HLA-I, and HLA-II was correlated positively to the CIN degree and it was more relevant in patients positive for human papilloma virus (HPV). Thus, identification and detailed characterization of pluripotent resident in uteri cells could be a promising therapeutic target.

Abstract

Aim To evaluate whether the first Covid-19 lockdown for Italian citizens (March to July 2021) might have altered the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A retrospective single-center study in a tertiary referral center. Primary outcome was the incidence of GDM among pregnant women. GDM incidence, from June 11, 2019 to December 4, 2020, was compared by dividing the study time as follows: from the beginning of the study to before Covid-19 lockdown (from June 11, 2019, to March 9, 2020) and lockdown period (from March 10, 2020, to December 4, 2020). GDM was diagnosed with a 75-g, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 gestational weeks. Results Concerning 1295 women, GDM incidence increased during the lockdown period (9.3% vs. 3.4%, p < 0.001). Higher pregnancy weight gain with an increased body mass index (BMI) at the delivery was reported during the lockdown (31.3 vs. 28.4 kg/m(2), p = 0.02 and mean weight gain of 9.3 vs. 6.6 kg, p = 0.007). There was no difference in other comorbidity incidence and OGTT values between the two groups. Conclusions Pregnant women during the Covid-19 lockdown might have experienced higher BMI and pregnancy weight gain with increased GDM diagnoses. This may be related to physical limitations and emotional distress experienced during the lockdown. However, evidence is limited due to restricted study duration and random variations of outcomes across time. More studies are needed to understand the dietary patterns and the physical activity changes during the Covid-19 lockdown and its impact on fetal outcomes.

Abstract

Il contributo ambisce ad approfondire da un’angolazione penalistica alcune delle problematiche relative all’utilizzo, da parte di attori pubblici e privati, delle tecnologie di riconoscimento facciale, come tali in grado di registrare e processare i dati biometrici di un numero indefinito di individui. L’obiettivo è mettere in evidenza i rischi derivanti dall’utilizzo di tali strumenti da un punto di vista dei rapporti tra Stato e cittadini, anche alla luce del ruolo centrale svolto dalle imprese che sviluppano simili tecnologie, in assenza, ad oggi, di discipline organiche sul tema. Pertanto, dopo aver inquadrato lo sviluppo delle TRF come fenomeno coerente con le teorizzazioni in materia di società del controllo e capitalismo della sorveglianza, e dopo averne brevemente illustrato il funzionamento, sono passati in rassegna alcuni esempi problematici nel contesto cinese e in quello statunitense. In seguito, l’attenzione si focalizza sull’ambito interno, in particolare su alcune pronunce del Garante per la protezione dei dati personali intervenute sul tema, nonché sulla Proposta di Regolamento della Commissione Europea in materia di IA. L’analisi della proposta è utile a evidenziare, in chiave conclusiva, la necessità di un dibattito pubblico partecipato e consapevole, capace di far risaltare rischi e benefici delle TRF e dunque utile a orientare le scelte del legislatore.

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the relevance that corporate remediation, as fostered by the compliance paradigm, has in the sanctioning of corporate crime. The phenomenon of remediation can be considered to be a consequence of the interaction between compliance and corporate criminal law: on the one hand, the origins of compliance from within the field of regulatory law are mirrored in its aim to stimulate law-abiding behaviour within companies even after illicit conduct occurs—by compensating victims, the restoration of damage, and implementing internal compliance systems to avoid the same crime happening again in the future. On the other hand, the “criminalization process” undergone by compliance has had an impact on its voluntary dimension. In some cases, public authorities impose compliance mandates on corporations as a condition of their continuing their activity. With settlements, criminal prosecution and conviction are used as threats to push companies towards adopting compliance measures, and external monitors can be appointed to oversee the compliance mandates. Settlements and monitorship then represent a privileged standpoint for investigating corporate remediation and its positive impact on the principle of culpable liability for corporations. The topic of corporate remediation indeed offers us an opportunity to consider the diachronic nature of corporate activity, and provides a framework for modelling corporate punishment according to the “personality” of companies.

Abstract

Universal third-trimester obstetrical ultrasonography represents a medical debate. The current survey was conducted to evaluate the actual use of third-trimester scan and understand gynecologists' aptitude.A survey was mailed to 128 gynecologists between January and February 2020. Data about their demographic's characteristics, hospital ward, and self-assessment questionnaires were recorded. Results were evaluated by using combined analysis.Overall, 128 (29.8%) gynecologists answered. Their age ranged between 45 and 64 years (70.3% of the total, 90/128). The half part worked in hospitals and university hospitals (39.8%, 51/128 and 10.1%, 13/128, respectively), 26.5% (34/128) worked in private hospitals and 23.4% (30/128) in public ambulatories. The neonatal intensive care unit was present in 37.5% (48/128) of the cases. 96.0% of gynecologists surveyed (123/128) offered the universal third-trimester scan (28-32 weeks) and 78.1% of the physician recommended the universal 35-37 weeks ultrasonographical exam. A subanalysis among third level hospital gynecologists versus gynecologists without neonatal intensive care unit showed no statistical difference.This survey reveals extensive use of third-trimester scan in low-risk pregnancy. Nevertheless, randomized controlled trials concerning the universal third-trimester scan are required to validate this clinical attitude.

Abstract

Adiponectin may be a biomarker of cognitive impairment stage, and its clinical progression. In this study we aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum adiponectin levels and cognitive performances in menopausal women, and whether serum adiponectin levels may be differently associated with cognitive performances as compared to overweight/obese subjects.We enrolled 188 post-menopausal women, divided into two groups: obese/overweight group (n = 96) and normal weight group (n = 92). After a clinical examination, and laboratory measurements, we assessed cognitive functions by Montreal Cognitive Assessment test (MoCA).A significant and greater decrease in executive/visuo-spatial and in attention functions occurred in obese/overweight group as compared to normal weight group (p< 0.001). A significant positive relationship between serum adiponectin levels, and MoCA Global cognitive function was found. MoCA executive, and MoCA attention functions significantly and positively correlated with serum adiponectin levels. BMI, WHR, and serum adiponectin levels were independently associated with MoCA Global cognitive function, but only serum adiponectin levels were independently associated with MoCA attention.A significant positive association may exist between serum adiponectin levels, and better cognitive function in postmenopausal status. The major determinant of attentional capacity was just serum adiponectin levels, and dosage of serum adiponectin levels may be early serum marker of cognitive decline. Therefore, serum adiponectin level has to be used, as early biomarker, to detect cognitive decline, and to support an early prevention.

Abstract

Objectives To evaluate the strength of association between maternal and pregnancy characteristics and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with laboratory confirmed COVID-19. Methods Secondary analysis of a multinational, cohort study on all consecutive pregnant women with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from February 1, 2020 to April 30, 2020 from 73 centers from 22 different countries. A confirmed case of COVID-19 was defined as a positive result on real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay of nasal and pharyngeal swab specimens. The primary outcome was a composite adverse fetal outcome, defined as the presence of either abortion (pregnancy loss before 22 weeks of gestations), stillbirth (intrauterine fetal death after 22 weeks of gestation), neonatal death (death of a live-born infant within the first 28 days of life), and perinatal death (either stillbirth or neonatal death). Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate parameters independently associated with the primary outcome. Logistic regression was reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Mean gestational age at diagnosis was 30.6±9.5 weeks, with 8.0% of women being diagnosed in the first, 22.2% in the second and 69.8% in the third trimester of pregnancy. There were six miscarriage (2.3%), six intrauterine device (IUD) (2.3) and 5 (2.0%) neonatal deaths, with an overall rate of perinatal death of 4.2% (11/265), thus resulting into 17 cases experiencing and 226 not experiencing composite adverse fetal outcome. Neither stillbirths nor neonatal deaths had congenital anomalies found at antenatal or postnatal evaluation. Furthermore, none of the cases experiencing IUD had signs of impending demise at arterial or venous Doppler. Neonatal deaths were all considered as prematurity-related adverse events. Of the 250 live-born neonates, one (0.4%) was found positive at RT-PCR pharyngeal swabs performed after delivery. The mother was tested positive during the third trimester of pregnancy. The newborn was asymptomatic and had negative RT-PCR test after 14 days of life. At logistic regression analysis, gestational age at diagnosis (OR: 0.85, 95% CI 0.8–0.9 per week increase; p Conclusions Early gestational age at infection, maternal ventilatory supports and low birthweight are the main determinants of adverse perinatal outcomes in fetuses with maternal COVID-19 infection. Conversely, the risk of vertical transmission seems negligible.

Abstract

WOS:000613461600006 PubMed ID: 32926494 Objectives To evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods This was a multinational retrospective cohort study including women with a singleton pregnancy and laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, conducted in 72 centers in 22 different countries in Europe, the USA, South America, Asia and Australia, between 1 February 2020 and 30 April 2020. Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was defined as a positive result on real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay of nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The primary outcome was a composite measure of maternal mortality and morbidity, including admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), use of mechanical ventilation and death. Results In total, 388 women with a singleton pregnancy tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on RT-PCR of a nasopharyngeal swab and were included in the study. Composite adverse maternal outcome was observed in 47/388 (12.1%) women; 43 (11.1%) women were admitted to the ICU, 36 (9.3%) required mechanical ventilation and three (0.8%) died. Of the 388 women included in the study, 122 (31.4%) were still pregnant at the time of data analysis. Among the other 266 women, six (19.4% of the 31 women with first-trimester infection) had miscarriage, three (1.1%) had termination of pregnancy, six (2.3%) had stillbirth and 251 (94.4%) delivered a liveborn infant. The rate of preterm birth before 37 weeks' gestation was 26.3% (70/266). Of the 251 liveborn infants, 69/251(27.5%) were admitted to the neonatal ICU, and there were five (2.0%) neonatal deaths. The overall rate of perinatal death was 4.1% (11/266). Only one (1/251, 0.4%) infant, born to a mother who tested positive during the third trimester, was found to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 on RT-PCR. Conclusions SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women is associated with a 0.8% rate of maternal mortality, but an 11.1% rate of admission to the ICU. The risk of vertical transmission seems to be negligible. (C) 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of high-risk (HR) HPV-positive and -negative women affected by high-grade cervical dysplasia. Methods: This is a retrospective multi-institutional study. Medical records of consecutive patients with high-grade cervical dysplasia undergoing conization between 2010 and 2014 were retrieved. All patients included had at least 5 years of follow-up. A propensity-score matching was adopted in order to reduce the presence of confounding factors between groups. Kaplan-Meir and Cox hazard models were used to estimate 5-year outcomes. Results: Overall, data of 2966 women, affected by high-grade cervical dysplasia were reviewed. The study population included 1478 (85%) and 260 (15%) women affected by HR-HPV-positive and HR-HPV-negative high-grade cervical dysplasia. The prevalence of CIN2 and CIN3 among the HR-HPV-positive and -negative cohort was similar (p = 0.315). Patients with HR-HPV-positive high-grade cervical dysplasia were at higher risk of 5-year recurrence (after primary conization) that HR-HPV-negative patients (p < 0.001, log-rank test). Via multivariate analysis, HR-HPV-negative women were at low risk of recurrence (HR: 1.69 (95%CI: 1.05, 4.80); p = 0.018, Cox Hazard model). A propensity-score matched comparison was carried out in order to reduce biases that are related to the retrospective study design. In comparison to HR-HPV-negative patients, thosewith HR-HPV-positive CIN3 was associate with a 8-fold increase in the risk of recurrence (p < 0.001, log-rank test). Conclusions: HR-HPV-negative high-grade cervical dysplasia is not uncommon, accounting for 15% of our study population. Those patients experience more favorable outcomes than patients with documented HR-HPV infection(s). Further prospective studies are needed to corroborate our data.

Abstract

Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been recognized as the major etiologic agent of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. However, it has been demonstrated that HPV infection is usually a self-limited process and does not lead to significant epithelial lesions or cancer. Recent data indicate that persistent high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infections have a significantly increased risk of developing incident high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. Our aim, therefore, was to assess whether there exist HPV genotypes whose persistence can be considered powerful surrogates of a progressive disease. We retrospectively selected all patients with a negative cytological diagnosis or with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, with a positive test for HR-HPV, different from HPV types 16 and 18, and assessed the significance of the risk of progression based on the persistence of the specific HR-HPV. Materials and methods: We retrospectively queried the database of our Colposcopy Clinic for all patients with a negative cytological diagnosis or with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance and a positive test for HR-HPV, and we calculated the incidence of progression to lesions greater than or equal to low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions after 6 months, according to the HPV type. Results: A progression rate of 48.27% was found in patients tested positive for HPV-31 (Group 1), 38.46% in patients tested positive for HPV-45 (Group 2), and 5.73% in patients tested positive for HPV types other than HPV-16, HPV-18, HPV-31, and HPV-45 (Group 3). Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that the persistence of HPV-31 and HPV-45 is strongly associated with the occurrence of squamous intraepithelial lesion.
