Abstract

Purpose of the article: The aim of this multicenter observational study is to report data from real world on the use of bimekizumab in patients aged ≥ 65 years with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Elderly patients are poorly represented in clinical trials on bimekizumab for plaque psoriasis, and real-world studies are important to guide clinical choices. Materials and methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted in 33 dermatological outpatient clinics in Italy. Patients aged ≥ 65 years, with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and treated with bimekizumab were enrolled. No exclusion criteria were applied. Bimekizumab was administered following the Italian Guidelines for the management of plaque psoriasis and according to the summary of product characteristics, in adult patients who were candidates for systemic treatments. Overall, 98 subjects were included, and received bimekizumab up to week 36. Clinical and demographic data were collected before the initiation of treatment with bimekizumab. At baseline and each dermatological examination (4, 16, and 36 weeks), clinical outcomes were measured by the following parameters: (1) PASI score; (2) site-specific (scalp, palmoplantar, genital, nail) Psoriasis Global Assessment (PGA). At each visit, the occurrence of any adverse events (AEs) was recorded, including serious AEs and AEs leading to bimekizumab discontinuation. Results: The mean PASI score was 16.6 ± 9.4 at baseline and significantly decreased to 4.3 ± 5.2 after 4 weeks (p < 0.001), and 1.1 ± 1.7 after 16 week (p < 0.001). This level of improvement was maintained after 36 weeks (p < 0.001). PASI ≤2 was recorded in 36 (36.7%) at week 4, 68% and 69.4% at week 16 and 36, respectively. By week 16, 86/98 (87.8%) patients reached PASI75, 71/98 (72.4%) obtained PASI90, and 52/98 (53.1%) PASI100. Binary logistic regression tests showed a significant association of PASI100 by week 4 with lower PASI at baseline. PASI 100 at 16 or 36 weeks was not

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the long-term effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of erenumab in a real-world migraine population, looking for putative predictors of responsiveness. Background: Erenumab proved to be effective, safe, and well tolerated in the prevention of episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM) in long-term extension studies of double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in patients with no more than two (EM) or three (CM) prior preventive treatment failures. Methods: A 48-week, multicenter, longitudinal cohort real-life study was conducted at 15headache centers across eight Italian regions between December 20, 2018 and July 31, 2020. We considered all consecutive patients with high-frequency episodic migraine (HFEM) or CM aged 18–65years. Each patient was treated with erenumab 70mg, administered monthly. The dose was switched to 140mg in nonresponders and in responders who had become nonresponders for at least 4weeks. Change in monthly migraine days (MMDs) or monthly headache days (MHDs) at Weeks 45–48 compared with baseline was the primary efficacy endpoint. Secondary endpoints encompassed variation in monthly analgesic intake, achievement of a ≥50%, ≥75%, or 100% reduction in migraine or headache days, and any change in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Headache Impact Test-6 scores (HIT-6) during the same time interval. Results: A total of 242 patients with migraine received at least one dose of erenumab 70mg and were considered for safety analysis, whereas 221 received a monthly erenumab dose for ≥48weeks and were included in the effectiveness and safety analysis set. All patients had previously been treated unsuccessfully with ≥3migraine-preventive medication classes. From baseline to Weeks 45–48, erenumab treatment reduced MMD by 4.3±5.3(mean±SD) in patients with HFEM, and MHD by 12.8±8.9 (mean±SD) in subjects with CM. VAS and HIT-6scores were decreased by 1.8±1.9 (mean±SD) and 12.3±11 (mean±SD) in HFEM, and by 3.0±2.2 (mean±SD) and 13.1±11.2 (mean±SD) in CM. Median monthly analgesic intake passed from 11.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 10.0–13.0) to 5 (IQR 2.0–8.0) in HFEM and from 20.0 (IQR 15.0–30.0) to 6.0 (IQR 3.8–10.0) in CM. The ≥50% responders were 56.1% (32/57) in HFEM and 75.6% (124/164) in CM; ≥75% responders were 31.6% (18/57) and 44.5% (73/164); and 100% responders were 8.8% (5/57) and 1.2% (2/164), respectively. At Week 48, 83.6% (137/164) of patients with CM had reverted to EM. Erenumab was safe and well tolerated. Responsiveness to erenumab was positively associated with cutaneous allodynia (OR: 5.44, 95% CI: 1.52–19.41; p=0.009) in HFEM. In patients with CM, ≥50% responsiveness was positively associated with male sex (OR: 2.99, 95% CI: 1.03–8.7; p=0.044) and baseline migraine frequency (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.05–1.20; p=0.001) and negatively associated with psychiatric comorbidities (OR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.15–0.87; p=0.023) and prior treatment failures (OR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.64–0.92; p=0.004). Conclusions: Long-term (48-week) erenumab treatment provides sustained effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in real-life patients with HFEM or CM with ≥3 prior preventive treatment failures. The dose of 140mg was required in most patients along the study and should be taken into consideration as the starting dose. Allodynia (in HFEM), male sex, and baseline migraine frequency (in CM) might represent positive responsiveness predictors. Conversely, psychiatric comorbidities and multiple prior preventive treatment failures could be negative predictors in patients with CM.

Abstract

Background: Lombardy was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic since February 2020 and the Health System underwent rapid reorganization. Outpatient clinics were stopped for non-urgent patients: it became a priority to manage hundreds of fragile neurological patients who suddenly had less reference points. In Italy, before the pandemic, Televisits were neither recognized nor priced. Methods: At the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Neurologico C. Besta, we reorganized outpatient clinics to deliver Neuro-telemedicine services, including Televisits and Teleneurorehabilitation, since March 2020. A dedicated Working Group prepared the procedure, tested the system, and designed satisfaction questionnaires for adults and children. Results: After a pilot phase, we prepared a procedure for Telemedicine outpatient clinics which was approved by hospital directions. It included prescription, booking, consenting, privacy and data protection, secure connection with patients (Teams Microsoft 365), electronic report preparation and delivery, reporting, and accountability of the services. During the March–September 2020 period, we delivered 3167 Telemedicine services, including 1618 Televisits, to 1694 patients (972 adults, 722 children) with a wide range of chronic neurological disorders. We successfully administered different clinical assessment and scales. Satisfaction among patients and caregivers was very high. Conclusions: During the dramatic emergency, we were able to take care of more than 1600 patients by organizing Neuro-telehealth in a few weeks, lessening the impact of the pandemic on fragile patients with chronic neurological disorders; this strategy is now stably embedded in our care pathways. In Italy, Telehealth is at present recognized and priced and is becoming a stable pillar of the health system.

Abstract

Populations of the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) in continental Europe are usually migratory, travelling from their breeding grounds to wintering areas in the sub-Saharan Sahel region. In Sicily, there are currently six breeding pairs of this species, but there are few reports about their presence in winter. We report the sighting of one young and two adults in Sicily during the 2015-2016 winter season.

Abstract

Objective: This article reviews current headache disability measures and clinical need, as well as presenting the rationale for a new measure addressing work-related disability in migraine patients and the steps devoted to this aim. Background: Episodic and chronic migraine (EM and CM) constitute an enormous economic burden to societies, and the vast majority of this burden is attributable to indirect costs, ie those associated with productivity loss. A measure of work-related disability is therefore needed to quantify the impact of EM and CM on patients' ability to carry out work tasks. Methods: We briefly present the advantages and disadvantages of the disability measures that have been most commonly used for this purpose and the rationale for developing a new measure. Results: The entire process of development of HEADWORK, a questionnaire designed to assess work-related disability, is presented together with short-term sensitivity to change. Conclusions: Current headache disability measures need improvement. HEADWORK is a valid, reliable, and sensitive questionnaire to address the amount and severity of work-related difficulties and of the factors contributing to such difficulties. HEADWORK is suitable for daily clinical practice, epidemiological research and for clinical trials, and potentially to define work-related disability weights for the calculation of migraine indirect costs.

It included prescription, booking, consenting, privacy and data protection, secure connection with patients (Teams Microsoft 365), electronic report preparation and delivery, reporting, and accountability of the services. During the March–September 2020 period, we delivered 3167 Telemedicine services, including 1618 Televisits, to 1694 patients (972 adults, 722 children) with a wide range of chronic neurological disorders. We successfully administered different clinical assessment and scales. Satisfaction among patients and caregivers was very high. Conclusions: During the dramatic emergency, we were able to take care of more than 1600 patients by organizing Neuro-telehealth in a few weeks, lessening the impact of the pandemic on fragile patients with chronic neurological disorders; this strategy is now stably embedded in our care pathways. In Italy, Telehealth is at present recognized and priced and is becoming a stable pillar of the health system.

Abstract

Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the degeneration of the second motor neuron. The phenotype ranges from very severe to very mild forms. All patients have the homozygous loss of the SMN1 gene and a variable number of SMN2 (generally 2–4 copies), inversely related to the severity. The amazing results of the available treatments have made compelling the need of prognostic biomarkers to predict the progression trajectories of patients. Besides the SMN2 products, few other biomarkers have been evaluated so far, including some miRs. Methods: We performed whole miRNome analysis of muscle samples of patients and controls (14 biopsies and 9 cultures). The levels of muscle differentially expressed miRs were evaluated in serum samples (51 patients and 37 controls) and integrated with SMN2 copies, SMN2 full-length transcript levels in blood and age (SMA-score). Results: Over 100 miRs were differentially expressed in SMA muscle; 3 of them (hsa-miR-181a-5p, -324-5p, -451a; SMA-miRs) were significantly upregulated in the serum of patients. The severity predicted by the SMA-score was related to that of the clinical classification at a correlation coefficient of 0.87 (p<10-5). Conclusions: MiRNome analyses suggest the primary involvement of skeletal muscle in SMA pathogenesis. The SMA-miRs are likely actively released in the blood flow; their function and target cells require to be elucidated. The accuracy of the SMA-score needs to be verified in replicative studies: If confirmed, its use could be crucial for the routine prognostic assessment, also in presymptomatic patients.
