OBJECTIVE: To identify shared polygenic risk and causal associations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS: Linkage disequilibrium score regression and Mendelian randomization were applied in a large-scale, data-driven manner to explore genetic correlations and causal relationships between >700 phenotypic traits and ALS. Exposures consisted of publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWASes) summary statistics from MR Base and LD-hub. The outcome data came from the recently published ALS GWAS involving 20,806 cases and 59,804 controls. Multivariate analyses, genetic risk profiling, and Bayesian colocalization analyses were also performed. RESULTS: We have shown, by linkage disequilibrium score regression, that ALS shares polygenic risk genetic factors with a number of traits and conditions, including positive correlations with smoking status and moderate levels of physical activity, and negative correlations with higher cognitive performance, higher educational attainment, and light levels of physical activity. Using Mendelian randomization, we found evidence that hyperlipidemia is a causal risk factor for ALS and localized putative functional signals within loci of interest. INTERPRETATION: Here, we have developed a public resource (https://lng-nia.shinyapps.io/mrshiny) which we hope will become a valuable tool for the ALS community, and that will be expanded and updated as new data become available. Shared polygenic risk exists between ALS and educational attainment, physical activity, smoking, and tenseness/restlessness. We also found evidence that elevated low-desnity lipoprotein cholesterol is a causal risk factor for ALS. Future randomized controlled trials should be considered as a proof of causality.

- Abstract
To identify novel genes associated with ALS, we undertook two lines of investigation. We carried out a genome-wide association study comparing 20,806 ALS cases and 59,804 controls. Independently, we performed a rare variant burden analysis comparing 1,138 index familial ALS cases and 19,494 controls. Through both approaches, we identified kinesin family member 5A (KIF5A) as a novel gene associated with ALS. Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG10) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 (CMT2). In contrast, ALS-associated mutations are primarily located at the C-terminal cargo-binding tail domain and patients harboring loss-of-function mutations displayed an extended survival relative to typical ALS cases. Taken together, these results broaden the phenotype spectrum resulting from mutations in KIF5A and strengthen the role of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS. Using a large-scale genome-wide association study and exome sequencing, we identified KIF5A as a novel gene associated with ALS. Our data broaden the phenotype resulting from mutations in KIF5A and highlight the importance of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS.

- Abstract
It has been recently reported that the p.His63Asp polymorphism of the HFE gene accelerates disease progression both in the SOD1 transgenic mouse and in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. We have evaluated the effect of HFE p.His63Asp polymorphism on the phenotype in 1351 Italian ALS patients (232 of Sardinian ancestry). Patients were genotyped for the HFE p.His63Asp polymorphism (CC, GC, and GG). All patients were also assessed for C9ORF72, TARDBP, SOD1, and FUS mutations. Of the 1351 ALS patients, 363 (29.2%) were heterozygous (GC) for the p.His63Asp polymorphism and 30 (2.2%) were homozygous for the minor allele (GG). Patients with CC, GC, and GG polymorphisms did not significantly differ by age at onset, site of onset of symptoms, and survival; however, in SOD1 patients with CG or GG polymorphism had a significantly longer survival than those with a CC polymorphism. Differently from what observed in the mouse model of ALS, the HFE p.His63Asp polymorphism has no effect on ALS phenotype in this large series of Italian ALS patients.

The clinical approach to patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been largely modified by the identification of novel genes, the detection of gene mutations in apparently sporadic patients, and the discovery of the strict genetic and clinical relation between ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). As a consequence, clinicians are increasingly facing the dilemma on how to handle genetic counselling and testing both for ALS patients and their relatives. On the basis of existing literature on genetics of ALS and of other late-onset life-threatening disorders, we propose clinical suggestions to enable neurologists to provide optimal clinical and genetic counselling to patients and families. Genetic testing should be offered to ALS patients who have a first-degree or second-degree relative with ALS, FTD or both, and should be discussed with, but not offered to, all other ALS patients, with special emphasis on its major uncertainties. Presently, genetic testing should not be proposed to asymptomatic at-risk subjects, unless they request it or are enrolled in research programmes. Genetic counselling in ALS should take into account the uncertainties about the pathogenicity and penetrance of some genetic mutations; the possible presence of mutations of different genes in the same individual; the poor genotypic/phenotypic correlation in most ALS genes; and the phenotypic pleiotropy of some genes. Though psychological, social and ethical implications of genetic testing are still relatively unexplored in ALS, we recommend multidisciplinary counselling that addresses all relevant issues, including disclosure of tests results to family members and the risk for genetic discrimination.

There are indications that both familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and sporadic ALS phenotype and prognosis are partly regulated by genetic and environmental factors, supporting the theory that ALS is a multifactorial disease. The aim of this article was to assess the role of ATXN2 intermediate length repeats in a large series of Italian and Sardinian ALS patients and controls carrying a pathogenetic C9ORF72 GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat. A total of 1972 ALS cases were identified through the database of the Italian ALS Genetic consortium, a collaborative effort including 18 ALS centers throughout Italy. The study population included: (1) 276 Italian and 57 Sardinian ALS cases who carried the C9ORF72 expansion; (2) 1340 Italian and 299 Sardinian ALS cases not carrying the C9ORF72 expansion. A total of healthy 1043 controls were also assessed. Most Italian and Sardinian cases and controls were homozygous for 22/22 or 23/23 repeats or heterozygous for 22/23 repeats of the ATXN2 gene. ATXN2 intermediate length repeats alleles (≥28) were detected in 3 (0.6%) Italian ALS cases carrying the C9ORF72 expansion, in none of the Sardinian ALS cases carrying the expansion, in 60 (4.3%) Italian cases not carrying the expansion, and in 6 (2.0%) Sardinian ALS cases without C9ORF72 expansion. Intermediate length repeat alleles were found in 12 (1.5%) Italian controls and 1 (0.84%) Sardinian controls. Therefore, ALS patients with C9ORF72 expansion showed a lower frequency of ATXN2 polyQ intermediate length repeats than both controls (Italian cases, p = 0.137; Sardinian cases, p = 0.0001) and ALS patients without C9ORF72 expansion (Italian cases, p = 0.005; Sardinian cases, p = 0.178). In our large study on Italian and Sardinian ALS patients with C9ORF72 GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion, compared to age-, gender- and ethnic-matched controls, ATXN2 polyQ intermediate length does not represent a modifier of ALS risk, differently from non- C9ORF72 mutated patients.

Mutations in CHCHD10 have recently been described as a cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) comorbid with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and clinical characteristics of CHCHD10 mutations in Italian patients diagnosed with familial (n= 64) and apparently sporadic ALS (n= 224). Three apparently sporadic patients were found to carry c.100C>T (p.Pro34Ser) heterozygous variant in the exon 2 of CHCHD10. This mutation had been previously described in 2 unrelated French patients with FTD-ALS. However, our patients had a typical ALS, without evidence of FTD, cerebellar or extrapyramidal signs, or sensorineural deficits. We confirm that CHCHD10 mutations account for ~1% of Italian ALS patients and are a cause of disease in subjects without dementia or other atypical clinical signs.

Vessel arrival uncertainty in ports has become a very common problem worldwide. Although ship operators have to notify the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at predetermined time intervals, they frequently have to update the latest ETA due to unforeseen circumstances. This causes a series of inconveniences that often impact on the efficiency of terminal operations, especially in the daily planning scenario. Thus, for our study we adopted a machine learning approach in order to provide a qualitative estimate of the vessel delay/advance and to help mitigate the consequences of late/early arrivals in port. Using data on delays/advances at the individual vessel level, a comparative study between two transshipment container terminals is presented and the performance of three algorithmic models is evaluated. Results of the research indicate that when the distribution of the outcome is bimodal the performance of the discrete models is highly relevant for acquiring data characteristics. Therefore, the models are not flexible in representing data when the outcome distribution exhibits unimodal behavior. Moreover, graphical visualisation of the importance-plots made it possible to underline the most significant variables which might explain vessel arrival uncertainty at the two European ports., European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, Vol 15 No 4 (2015)

Port management ,Decision Support System - Abstract
In a container terminal task assignment optimization may not be sufficient to ensure efficiency. By contrast, a systemic approach to terminal operations planning is required to ensure efficient coordination day by day of the all the operations in-volved. As far as management is concerned, a number of interacting factors need to be taken into account, ranging from prediction of ships’ arrivals to manpower and vehicles optimization strategies for the different work shifts. This paper describes three modules comprising a Decision Support System designed to assist port operations planners: - Ships’ arrivals forecasting module; - Optimal human resources allocation module; - Maintenance process engineering module. First tests indicate that this integrated tool makes flexible and prompt planning of overall operations possible, thereby reducing costs and enhancing their efficiency and thus competitiveness of the container terminal.

- Abstract
There are indications that both familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and sporadic ALS phenotype and prognosis are partly regulated by genetic and environmental factors, supporting the theory that ALS is a multifactorial disease. The aim of this article was to assess the role of ATXN2 intermediate length repeats in a large series of Italian and Sardinian ALS patients and controls carrying a pathogenetic C9ORF72 GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat. A total of 1972 ALS cases were identified through the database of the Italian ALS Genetic consortium, a collaborative effort including 18 ALS centers throughout Italy. The study population included: (1) 276 Italian and 57 Sardinian ALS cases who carried the C9ORF72 expansion; (2) 1340 Italian and 299 Sardinian ALS cases not carrying the C9ORF72 expansion. A total of healthy 1043 controls were also assessed. Most Italian and Sardinian cases and controls were homozygous for 22/22 or 23/23 repeats or heterozygous for 22/23 repeats of the ATXN2 gene. ATXN2 intermediate length repeats alleles (≥28) were detected in 3 (0.6%) Italian ALS cases carrying the C9ORF72 expansion, in none of the Sardinian ALS cases carrying the expansion, in 60 (4.3%) Italian cases not carrying the expansion, and in 6 (2.0%) Sardinian ALS cases without C9ORF72 expansion. Intermediate length repeat alleles were found in 12 (1.5%) Italian controls and 1 (0.84%) Sardinian controls. Therefore, ALS patients with C9ORF72 expansion showed a lower frequency of ATXN2 polyQ intermediate length repeats than both controls (Italian cases, p = 0.137; Sardinian cases, p = 0.0001) and ALS patients without C9ORF72 expansion (Italian cases, p = 0.005; Sardinian cases, p = 0.178). In our large study on Italian and Sardinian ALS patients with C9ORF72 GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion, compared to age-, gender- and ethnic-matched controls, ATXN2 polyQ intermediate length does not represent a modifier of ALS risk, differently from non-C9ORF72 mutated patients.

optimizing container handling ,containership arrivals predictio ,Decision Support System - Abstract
The purpose of the work described in this paper is to construct and implement prediction models for optimizing container handling in particular at Cagliari’s Terminal Container. Prediction models are based on heuristic algorithms such as neural networks and classification and regression trees and evolutionary algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). These models form part of a Web Oriented Decision Support System, for real time external data acquisition (GPS information, weather information, etc.), providing operators with the information processed in real time. The most commonly used parameter for assessing terminal performance is productivity, namely the number of containers handled in the unit of time considered. This parameter can be associated with the terminal as a whole, or with the ship, the stevedores, each vehicle used, the single operator and related to different time intervals (year, month, week, day, hour and shift). Usually the hourly average is considered for monitoring operations and identifying shortcomings. The rate at which operations are performed can significantly reduce turn round time and thus minimize the loss of productivity associated with the ship’s time in port. Because of the complexity of analyzing decision-making processes two sublevels are defined, that differ for type of decision and time horizon: - The first level, generally organized around a weekly time horizon (from 10 to 1 days prior to ship’s arrival in port), for scheduling operations and activities in the different areas such as, ship, quay, yard, for making decisions that satisfy the different requirements;- The second level, aimed at specific resource allocation (personnel and equipment) on the basis of the decisions made at the first planning level in order to maximise productivity and minimize costs over a time horizon of roughly 24h. Both levels of planning are characterized by temporal fragmentation and uncertain information. The information is received at undefined times and is continually updated, resulting in uncertain content. The strong dependence of the planning process on information flow, means it is necessarily dynamic and makes it difficult to effectively optimize and integrate decisions over sufficiently broad time horizons. The aim of the study is to construct a model for predicting containership arrivals using heuristic-based evolutionary algorithms. The so-called ―Inspect Inspired Algorithms‖ are proving effective tools for solving industrial optimization issues. In this study the different models proposed are implemented in a ―Decision Support System‖, while data are analysed from a temporal aspect adopting a ―learning from data‖ approach. Indeed the observation of real data (actual arrival time of ships and handling in port) form the knowledge base which relies on learning from the past. All discrepancies observed between prediction models and reality, along with other factors governing that condition prediction errors, create a historical base on which models are automatically recalibrated. This approach has the dual purpose of analysing the causes (shortcomings) of prediction errors while refining models for future prediction; an analysis of the causes and effects of recalibrating the models. The proposed DSS can also be used for simulation purposes. In fact the algorithms will be implemented for studying the effects of external variables taken individually or interacting with one another, thus providing a useful planning tool.

- Abstract
Recently, mutations in the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) gene were identified as a cause for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with or without comorbid frontotemporal dementia. We have assessed the frequency and clinical characteristics of TBK1 mutations in a cohort of ALS patients of Sardinian ancestry. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on Hiseq2000 platform (Illumina). Genome analysis Toolkit was used to align and to code variants according to Human Genome (UCSC hg19). Mutation was confirmed with Sanger sequence. In our screening of 186 Sardinian ALS cases, we found 3 (1.6%) patients carrying 3 distinct novel genetic variants: a nonsynonymous SNV c.1150C>T leading to a p.Arg384Thr change in exon 9; a nonsynonymous SNV c.1331G>A causes a p.Arg444Gln change in exon 11; and a frameshift deletion c.2070delG (p.Met690fs) at the exon 20 of the gene leading to a stop at 693 codon. The latter patients also carried missense mutation c.98C>T of the SQSTM1 gene causing a substitution of an arginine with a valine at the position 33 (p.Arg33Val). All variants were found to be deleterious according to in silico predictions. All cases were apparently sporadic and one of them showed frontotemporal dementia associated to ALS. These mutations were not found in 2 cohorts of 6780 ethnic-matched controls. We have found that TBK1 mutations account for 1.6% of Sardinian ALS cases. Our data support the notion that TBK1 is a novel ALS gene, providing important evidence complementary to the first descriptions.

- Abstract
Intermediate-length CAG expansions (encoding 27-33 glutamines, polyQ) of the Ataxin2 (ATXN2) gene represent a risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Recently, it has been proposed that ≥31 CAG expansions may influence ALS phenotype. We assessed whether ATXN2 intermediate-length polyQ expansions influence ALS phenotype in a series of 375 patients of Sardinian ancestry. Controls were 247 neurologically healthy subjects, resident in the study area, age- and gender-matched to cases. The frequency of ≥31 polyQ ATNX2 repeats was significantly more common in ALS cases (4 patients vs. no control, p = 0.0001). All patients with ≥31 polyQ repeats had a spinal onset versus 73.3% of patients with <31 polyQ repeats. Patients with an increased number of polyQ repeats have a shorter survival than those with <31 repeats (1.2 vs. 4.2 years, p = 0.035). In this large series of ALS patients of Sardinian ancestry, we have found that ≥31 polyQ repeats of the ATXN2 gene influenced patients' phenotype, being associated to a spinal onset and a significantly shorter survival.

Objective To assess the efficacy of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods Patients with probable laboratory-supported, probable or definite ALS were enrolled by 25 Italian centres and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive intravenous rhEPO 40 000 IU or placebo fortnightly as add-on treatment to riluzole 100 mg daily for 12 months. The primary composite outcome was survival, tracheotomy or >23 h non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Secondary outcomes were ALSFRS-R, slow vital capacity (sVC) and quality of life (ALSAQ-40) decline. Tolerability was evaluated analysing adverse events (AEs) causing withdrawal. The randomisation sequence was computer-generated by blocks, stratified by centre, disease severity (ALSFRS-R cut-off score of 33) and onset (spinal or bulbar). The main outcome analysis was performed in all randomised patients and by intentionto-treat for the entire population and patients stratified by severity and onset. The study is registered, EudraCT 2009-016066-91. Results We randomly assigned 208 patients, of whom 5 (1 rhEPO and 4 placebo) withdrew consent and 3 ( placebo) became ineligible (retinal thrombosis, respiratory insufficiency, SOD1 mutation) before receiving treatment; 103 receiving rhEPO and 97 placebo were eligible for analysis. At 12 months, the annualised rate of death (rhEPO 0.11, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.20; placebo: 0.08, CI 0.04 to 0.17), tracheotomy or >23 h NIV (rhEPO 0.16, CI 0.10 to 0.27; placebo 0.18, CI 0.11 to 0.30) did not differ between groups, also after stratification by onset and ALSFRS-R at baseline. Withdrawal due to AE was 16.5% in rhEPO and 8.3% in placebo. No differences were found for secondary outcomes. Conclusions RhEPO 40 000 IU fortnightly did not change the course of ALS.

© 2018 Elsevier Inc., To identify novel genes associated with ALS, we undertook two lines of investigation. We carried out a genome-wide association study comparing 20,806 ALS cases and 59,804 controls. Independently, we performed a rare variant burden analysis comparing 1,138 index familial ALS cases and 19,494 controls. Through both approaches, we identified kinesin family member 5A (KIF5A) as a novel gene associated with ALS. Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG10) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 (CMT2). In contrast, ALS-associated mutations are primarily located at the C-terminal cargo-binding tail domain and patients harboring loss-of-function mutations displayed an extended survival relative to typical ALS cases. Taken together, these results broaden the phenotype spectrum resulting from mutations in KIF5A and strengthen the role of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS.

Increasing competition in the container shipping sector has meant that terminals are having to equip themselves with increasingly accurate analytical and governance tools. A transhipment terminal is an extremely complex system in terms of both organisation and management. Added to the uncertainty surrounding ships’ arrival time in port and the costs resulting from over-underestimation of resources is the large number of constraints and variables involved in port activities. Predicting ships delays in advance means that the relative demand for each shift can be determined with greater accuracy, and the basic resources then allocated to satisfy that demand. To this end, in this article we propose two algorithms: a dynamic learning predictive algorithm based on neural networks and an optimisation algorithm for resource allocation. The use of these two algorithms permits on the one hand to reduce the uncertainty interval surrounding ships’ arrival in port, ensuring that human resources can be planned around just two shifts. On the other hand, operators can be optimally allocated for the entire workday, taking into account actual demand and operations of the terminal. Moreover, as these algorithms are based on general variables they can be applied to any transhipment terminal. Future integration of the two models within a broader decision support system will provide an important support tool for planners for fast, flexible planning of the terminal’s operations management.

It has been recently reported that the p.His63Asp polymorphism of the HFE gene accelerates disease progression both in the SOD1 transgenic mouse and in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. We have evaluated the effect of HFE p.His63Asp polymorphism on the phenotype in 1351 Italian ALS patients (232 of Sardinian ancestry). Patients were genotyped for the HFE p.His63Asp polymorphism (CC, GC, and GG). All patients were also assessed for C9ORF72, TARDBP, SOD1, and FUS mutations. Of the 1351 ALS patients, 363 (29.2%) were heterozygous (GC) for the p.His63Asp polymorphism and 30 (2.2%) were homozygous for the minor allele (GG). Patients with CC, GC, and GG polymorphisms did not significantly differ by age at onset, site of onset of symptoms, and survival; however, in SOD1 patients with CG or GG polymorphism had a significantly longer survival than those with a CC polymorphism. Differently from what observed in the mouse model of ALS, the HFE p.His63Asp polymorphism has no effect on ALS phenotype in this large series of Italian ALS patients.

Intermediate-length CAG expansions (encoding 27-33 glutamines, polyQ) of the Ataxin2 (ATXN2) gene represent a risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Recently, it has been proposed that >=31 CAG expansions may influence ALS phenotype. We assessed whether ATXN2 intermediate-length polyQ expansions influence ALS phenotype in a series of 375 patients of Sardinian ancestry. Controls were 247 neurologically healthy subjects, resident in the study area, age- and gender-matched to cases. The frequency of >=31 polyQ ATNX2 repeats was significantly more common in ALS cases (4 patients vs. no control, p = 0.0001). All patients with >=31 polyQ repeats had a spinal onset versus 73.3% of patients with =31 polyQ repeats of the ATXN2 gene influenced patients' phenotype, being associated to a spinal onset and a significantly shorter survival.

Nel contributo sono ricostruite passo per passo le vicende di un documento eccezionale sotto molti aspetti, vale a dire il Papyrus Vindobonensis Graecus 3, recante le sottoscrizioni relative alla definizione di fede del VI concilio ecumenico (Costantinopolitano III, a. 680/681). Grazie alla tecnologia digitale è stato possibile postulare, con buon margine di sicurezza, che il frammento oggi superstite rappresenta una copia imitativa di altissimo livello, allestita all'interno del team dei notai verbalizzanti ancora durante i lavori del concilio, tra 11 e 16 settembre 681. Infatti, allo scopo di rendere uniformi tutti i rotoli originali degli atti, un'unica mano di cancelleria copiò personalmente (in una riproduzione quasi 'fotografica') alla fine del rotolo ufficiale (destinato all'imperatore bizantino o al patriarca di Costantinopoli) le sottoscrizioni dei prelati che parteciparono alla XVII sessione del concilio, interrottasi bruscamente per irregolarità protocollari (ovvero per l'assenza studiata dell'imperatore Costantino IV). Oltre al rapporto con la versione latina degli atti, trasmessa soprattutto da testimoni di area alpina e transalpina del secolo VIII, vengono analizzate le sorti del lacerto papiraceo giunto sino a noi: dalla fuoriuscita dagli atti del rotolo della sessione già nel 686/687 (ad opera dell'imperatore Giustiniano II) al recupero del frammento da parte di un notaio ravennate (Iohannicius?) di stanza a Costantinopoli alla fine del VII secolo; dalla lunga permanenza del papiro nel quieto riparo dell'archivio arcivescovile di Ravenna al suo ingresso, verso la fine del XV secolo, nella collezione dell'illustre casato veneziano dei Bembo; infine, dall'acquisto (poco dopo la metà del XVI secolo) da parte dell'umanista ungherese Johannes Sambucus fino all'entrata definitiva del cimelio nella biblioteca palatina di Vienna. Chiude il lavoro una trascrizione con commento del testo delle sottoscrizioni conservato in P.Vindob. G 3.

- Abstract
The molecular landscape of tumors has been traditionally established using a biopsy or resection specimens. These modalities result in sampling bias that offer only a single snapshot of tumor heterogeneity. Over the last decade intensive research towards alleviating such a bias and obtaining an integral yet accurate portrait of the tumors, evolved to the use of established molecular and genetic analysis using blood and several other body fluids, such as urine, saliva, and pleural effusions as liquid biopsies. Genomic profiling of the circulating markers including circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or even RNA, proteins, and lipids constituting exosomes, have facilitated the diligent monitoring of response to treatment, allowed one to follow the emergence of drug resistance, and enumerate minimal residual disease. The prevalence of tumor educated platelets (TEPs) and our understanding of how tumor cells influence platelets are beginning to unearth TEPs as a potentially dynamic component of liquid biopsies. Here, we review the biology, methodology, approaches, and clinical applications of biomarkers used to assess liquid biopsies. The current review addresses recent technological advances and different forms of liquid biopsy along with upcoming challenges and how they can be integrated to get the best possible tumor-derived genetic information that can be leveraged to more precise therapies for patient as liquid biopsies become increasingly routine in clinical practice., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Introduction: Spinocerebellar Ataxia 38 (SCA38) is caused by ELOVL5 gene mutation, with significant reduction of serum docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels. DHA supplementation has been proven effective at short-term follow-up. In the present paper, we evaluated long-term safety and efficacy of 600 mg/day oral DHA in SCA38 by a 2-year open label extension study., Methods: Nine SCA38 patients underwent standardised clinical assessment at 62 (T1), 82 (T2) and 104 (T3) weeks, and compared to pre-treatment scores (T0). Brain 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography and electroneurography were performed at T0 and T3., Results: We found a significant maintenance of clinical symptom improvement at each follow-up time-point (p < 0.001) as compared to T0, a sustained increase of cerebellar metabolism at T3 as compared to T0 (p = 0.013), and no worsening of neurophysiological parameters. No side effect was recorded., Conclusions: Long-term DHA supplementation is an eligible treatment for SCA38., (Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier Ltd.)

- Abstract
Objective: Spinocerebellar ataxia 38 (SCA38) is caused by mutations in the ELOVL5 gene, which encodes an elongase involved in the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). As a consequence, DHA is significantly reduced in the serum of SCA38 subjects. In the present study, we evaluated the safety of DHA supplementation, its efficacy for clinical symptoms, and changes of brain functional imaging in SCA38 patients., Methods: We enrolled 10 SCA38 patients, and carried out a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study for 16 weeks, followed by an open-label study with overall 40-week DHA treatment. At baseline and at follow-up visit, patients underwent standardized clinical assessment, brain 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, electroneurography, and ELOVL5 expression analysis., Results: After 16 weeks, we showed a significant pre-post clinical improvement in the DHA group versus placebo, using the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA; mean difference [MD] = +2.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] = +0.13 to + 5.27, p = 0.042). At 40-week treatment, clinical improvement was found significant by both SARA (MD = +2.2, 95% CI = +0.93 to + 3.46, p = 0.008) and International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (MD = +3.8, 95% CI = +1.39 to + 6.41, p = 0.02) scores; clinical data were corroborated by significant improvement of cerebellar hypometabolism (statistical parametric mapping analyses, false discovery rate corrected). We also showed a decreased expression of ELOVL5 in patients' blood at 40 weeks as compared to baseline. No side effect was recorded., Interpretation: DHA supplementation is a safe and effective treatment for SCA38, showing an improvement of clinical symptoms and cerebellar hypometabolism.

- Abstract
Purpose: Jeune syndrome (JS, also described as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, ATD) is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by a small, narrow chest and variable limb shortness with a considerable neonatal mortality as a result of respiratory distress. Significant life-threatening cervical spine abnormalities can be typical., Method: Here we describe the case of a male infant of Sardinian origin, who developed respiratory distress and feeding difficulties from the first months, correlated with muscle\skeletal dysmorphism prevalent on chest. Nocturnal respiratory sleep alterations were reported from parents., Results: After clinical, genetics, radiographic and cervical MRI investigations, ATD diagnosis with C1 stenosis. A full-night video-polysomnographic study was performed in order to evaluate the sleep apnea condition. The study showed a condition of tachipnea\tachicardia, with several short respiratory events during sleep, both obstructive and central type with apneahypopnea index (AHI) 17/ h, mean duration 3.7 sec with longest 20 sec., Conclusion: It can be hypothesized that the combination of altered respiratory and cardiac frequency is related to central type of sleep respiratory disorders consequent to C1 compression, while the obstructive minor component is related to thoracic restrictive disorders. Full night lab-polygraphy is recommended in dysmorphic skeletal disorders like JS.

- Abstract
Based on our previous finding of the p.A382T founder mutation in ALS patients with concomitant parkinsonism in the Sardinian population, we hypothesized that the same variant may underlie Parkinson's disease (PD) and/or other forms of degenerative parkinsonism on this Mediterranean island. We screened a cohort of 611 patients with PD (544 cases) and other forms of degenerative parkinsonism (67 cases) and 604 unrelated controls for the c.1144G > A (p.A382T) missense mutation of the TARDBP gene. The p.A382T mutation was identified in nine patients with parkinsonism. Of these, five (0.9 % of PD patients) presented a typical PD (two with familiar forms), while four patients (6.0 % of all other forms of parkinsonism) presented a peculiar clinical presentation quite different from classical atypical parkinsonism with an overlap of extrapyramidal-pyramidal-cognitive clinical signs. The mutation was found in eight Sardinian controls (1.3 %) consistent with a founder mutation in the island population. Our findings suggest that the clinical presentation of the p.A382T TARDBP gene mutation may include forms of parkinsonism in which the extrapyramidal signs are the crucial core of the disease at onset. These forms can present PSP or CBD-like clinical signs, with bulbar and/or extrabulbar pyramidal signs and cognitive impairment. No evidence of association has been found between TARDBP gene mutation and typical PD.

- Abstract
In this study, cortical bone tissue from children was investigated. It is extremely difficult to obtain human child tissue. Therefore, the only possibility was to use bone tissue, free from any lesion, collected from young bone cancer patients. The compressive mechanical behaviour of child bone tissue was compared to the behaviour of adult tissue. Moreover, two hypotheses were tested: 1) that the mechanical behaviour of both groups is correlated to ash density; 2) that yield strain is an invariant. Small parts of the diaphysis of femora or tibiae from 12 children (4-15 years) and 12 adults (22-61 years) were collected. Cylindrical specimens were extracted from the cortical wall along the longitudinal axis of the diaphysis. A total of 107 specimens underwent compressive testing (strain rate: 0.1 s(-1)). Only the specimens showing a regular load-displacement curve (94) were considered valid and thereafter reduced to ash. It was found that the child bone tissue had significant lower compressive Young's modulus (-34%), yield stress (-38%), ultimate stress (-33%) and ash density (-17%) than the adult tissue. Conversely, higher compressive ultimate strain was found in the child group (+24%). Despite specimens extracted from both children and adults, ash density largely described the variation in tissue strength and stiffness (R(2)=in the range of 0.86-0.91). Furthermore, yield strain seemed to be roughly an invariant to subject age and tissue density. These results confirm that the mechanical properties of child cortical bone tissue are different from that of adult tissue. However, such differences are correlated to differences in tissue ash density. In fact, ash density was found to be a good predictor of strength and stiffness, also for cortical bone collected from children. Finally, the present findings support the hypothesis that compressive yield strain is an invariant., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Background: Retroperitoneal soft tissues sarcomas (STS) are relatively uncommon and constitute a difficult management problem. Although surgical resection is often difficult or impossible, current chemotherapy is not effective and radiation is limited by toxicity to adjacent structures. Thus, complete surgical resection remains the most effective modality for selected primary and recurrent disease., Patients and Methods: Fifteen patients with retroperitoneal STS were admitted and treated between January 1990 and January 2003, and prospectively followed. Nine patients underwent complete surgical resection of 8 malignant and 1 benign tumor. Two patients underwent incomplete surgical resection of 1 malignant and 1 benign tumor. Patient, tumor, and treatment variables were analyzed for disease-specific and disease-free survival., Results: The patients with unresectable disease, incomplete resection, and high-grade tumors presented significantly reduced survival time. In this study, stage at presentation, high histologic grade, unresectable primary tumor, and positive gross margin are strongly associated with the tumor mortality rate., Conclusions: Patients approached with curative intent should undergo aggressive attempts at complete surgical resection. Incomplete resection should be undertaken only for symptoms relief. Because death often occurs as a result of local progression in retroperitoneal liposarcomas, it is possible that incomplete resection may be beneficial in this histologic type. Complete surgical resection is the most effective modality for the treatment of retroperitoneal sarcomas.

- Abstract
The Authors examine their experience about clinical implications and therapeutic strategies on Papillary MicroCarcinoma (PMC) of the thyroid gland. Clinical charts of 412 patients, who underwent thyroid surgery, were analyzed. The Authors stress "incidental diagnosis", benign associated lesions and frequency of population presentation; they conclude that the total thyroidectomy is the procedure of choice with oncology validity.

- Abstract
Differentiated thyroid cancer is peculiar for its prognosis often excellent. The Authors report their experience about 78 patients affected with differentiated thyroid carcinoma, operated between 1976-1999 at the Institute of Surgical Pathology and Surgical Clinic of Cagliari University. 70 (89.7%) patients underwent total thyroidectomy, 6 (7.5%) subtotal thyroidectomy and 2 (2.5%) thyroid lobectomy. In 11 patients total thyroidectomy was performed in two times within 60 days after initial lobectomy. Tumor was found in 2 (18%) of 11 of the reoperations. Lymphadenectomy was performed only in presence of cervical lymph nodal metastases. Following 70 total thyroidectomy the incidence of recurrent nerve palsy was 4.2% and permanent hypoparathyroidism 11.4%. 79% patients received adjuvant postoperative radioiodine therapy to ablate residual functioning tissue or distant suspected metastases. After a mean follow up period of 5.8 years, recurrences developed in 10.2%. Any local recurrences, 5 (6.4%) cervical nodal recurrences, 3 (3.8%) distant metastases were encountered. Two (2.5%) of the three patients with recurrence distant metastases died from thyroid carcinoma. The Authors identify total thyroidectomy as the minimal procedure. Surgical management of the cervical nodes is recommended only in the presence of metastatic lymph-nodes. Post surgical ablation with I131 of microscopic remnants optimize detection and treatment of the recurrence and distant metastases.

- Abstract
Cholelithiasis as cause of jaundice in newborn is rare. Usually is associated with known predisposing factors as hemolysis, congenital anomalies of biliary tree, total parenteral nutrition, prolonged fasting. However there are recent signals in literature about idiopathic neonatal cholelithiasis, that seems to be more common than previously suspected. We describe a case of idiopathic neonatal choledochal lithiasis with spontaneous resolution in few days from jaundice beginning. The importance of ultrasonographic investigation for diagnosis and follow-up is confirmed. However, because it is often a self limiting phenomenon, an aggressive approach is not warranted in the asymptomatic infant.

- Abstract
Long standing ulcerative colitis (UC) is a condition capable of malignant transformation. Even if the rate of occurrence of carcinoma differs considerably among the various series, there is general agreement that it can be detectable in advance through the finding of glandular dysplasia. The Authors examine such a problem in a series of 27 patients submitted to clinical and endoscopic follow-up from 1984 to 1989. During this study a total of 237 rectosigmoidoscopies, 83 colonoscopies and 71 histologic exams were performed. At the outset mild or moderate dysplasia was found in 5 cases (18%). However, in the follow-up no evidence of dysplasia was detectable in 4 of the 5 cases. In the remaining case dysplasia was present only in one control. It was not found in the subsequent two histologic examinations. In our limited experience the incidence of dysplasia was not significant enough to require a prophylactic proctocolectomy. Instead a frequent and thorough endoscopic follow-up is recommended.
