- Abstract
Background: In most European countries advertisements of infant formula are forbidden, while those of follow-on formula are allowed. Recent researches carried out in Australia and Great Britain have suggested that advertisement of toddler formula is used by the producing industry as a line extension to promote infant and follow-on formulas. Objectives: The objective of the study is to assess how advertisements of follow-on formulas are perceived by pregnant women and mothers in Italy. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in 8 cities of the North, Centre and South of Italy and had two components: 1) a quantitative analysis of 562 self-administered questionnaires for mothers of children under 3 years of age, to explore their exposure to and perception of formula advertisements; 2) a qualitative analysis of 80 in-depth semi-structured interviews to 80 pregnant women, in their 32-36 weeks of gestation with no other children, on their understanding and perception of two advertisements for follow-on formulas. Results: Asked in the self-administered questionnaires whether they had ever come across advertisements of infant formulas, 81% of mothers reported that they had, despite the fact that such advertisements are prohibited by law. The qualitative interviews to pregnant women showed their inability to identify the advertised products at first glance due to the ambiguity of the numeral 2 and the presumed age of the portrayed babies; this confusion did not disappear after careful observation of the advertisements and reading of the text. Conclusions: Advertisements of follow-on formulas are perceived by many pregnant women and mothers as promoting infant formulas.

U ovom istraživanju je istražen učinak kratkodjelujućih organskih nitrata, nitroglicerina i izosorbiddinitrata, na portalnu i sustavnu hemodinamiku u bolesnika s cirozom jetre. Bolesnici s kliničkim, laboratorijskim i patohistološkim znacima ciroze jetre podijeljeni su u dvije skupine. Prva skupina od 30 bolesnika primala je sublingvalno placebo i nitroglicerin. Druga skupina od 15 bolesnika primala je sublingvalno placebo i izosorbiddinitrat. Nakon primjene nitroglicerina i izosorbiddinitrata smanjila se brzina protoka krvi kroz portalnu venu, protoka kroz portalnu venu i srednjeg arterijskog tlaka. Brzina protoka krvi kroz portalnu venu pala je za 15.1± ; ; ; ; ; 2.1% 10 minuta nakon primjene nitroglicerina i za 17.8± ; ; ; ; ; 2.1%10 minuta nakon primjene izosorbiddinitrata ( p

- Abstract
Background: The knowledge of the individual genetic "status" in the prenatal era is particularly relevant in the case of positive family history for genetic diseases, in advanced maternal age and in the general screening for foetal abnormalities. In this context, here, we report an innovative molecular assay which utilizes the cell-free foetal DNA (cffDNA) as a source for the early and fast detection of the foetal sex. The study involved 132 pregnant women in their first 3 months of pregnancy, who agreed to give a blood sample. All the collected samples were immediately subjected to the separation of the plasma, which was utilized for the extraction of the cffDNA. Successively, the extracted cffDNA was analysed by a quantitative PCR (qPCR) method based on Plexor-HY chemistry, which is able to simultaneously identify, quantify and discriminate the autosomal DNA from the sex-linked DNA., Results: Overall, the Plexor-HY assay demonstrated to be sensitive and specific for the determination of low-template DNA, such as the cffDNA. In fact, the Plexor-HY assay has been successfully performed in all the samples, identifying 70 males and 62 females. As the foetal sex can be provided in 120 min just by utilizing a maternal blood sample as cffDNA source, the assay represents a very fast, safe and non-invasive prenatal method., Conclusions: The possibility of determining the foetal sex in the early prenatal life consents the application of our assay as a helpful screening test for subjects and families at risk of sex-linked disorders. Moreover, the early knowledge of the foetal sex may be of great help even for the specialist, who might promptly advise the patients concerning the foetal risk of inheriting sex-linked disorders and the clinical utility of performing an invasive prenatal diagnosis.

- Abstract
Pentasomy X is a rare chromosomal abnormality probably due to a nondisjunction during the meiosis. Only four cases prenatally diagnosed were described until now. Our case is the fifth one prenatally diagnosed at 20 weeks of gestational age in a 39-years-old woman. She underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis for her advanced maternal age without any other known risk factor. Amniocentesis performed at 17 weeks showed a female 49, XXXXX karyotype. The ultrasonographic examination revealed nonspecific signs of a mild early fetal growth retardation and no significant increased nuchal fold. The fetal autopsy and the X-ray excluded major malformations. Prenatal diagnosis is often difficult due to the lack of indicative ultrasonographic findings and the rarity of described cases. The influence of the mother's age on the occurrence of penta-X syndrome has not been determined. Considering the lack of correlation between advanced maternal age and increased risk for pentasomy X, as well as the absence of typical echographic signs, evaluation of the inclusion of a noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT) that expands clinical coverage to include the X and Y chromosomes in routine prenatal diagnosis should be considered as well as three-dimensional ultrasound to detect any helpful indicative prognostic signs.

- Abstract
This study reports a comparative analysis between results of transabdominal coelocentesis and traditional invasive procedure in order to assess the usefulness of coelocentesis as a source of fetal DNA for molecular and chromosomal analysis. A number of 28 women were included in the study. A successful sampling of coelomic fluid was obtained in 25 women by transabdominal procedure. A positive amplification of DNA with QF-PCR techniques was obtained in 90% of cases, while 10% of cases failed to reveal interpretable results. Although all samples were cultured, the growth rate was not sufficient to determine karyotypes within 2 weeks. Five samples were selected to be analyzed by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) but the interpretation of these results was difficult and ambiguous. Our results suggest that transabdominal coelocentesis is suitable for the detection of single DNA variation and for QF-PCR analysis, while further experiments are needed to develop optimized protocols for traditional karyotyping and array-analysis.

- Abstract
A 35-year-old female with migraine without aura, presented with sudden onset of visual aura along with loss of vision on the left side. Following this she had nausea, vomiting and headache. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) performed at this stage revealed ill-defined lesions hyperintense on Flair images, located in the right temporal and right occipital region. Diffusion weighted images, MR angiogram, T1-weighted and T2-weighted images were normal. She got relief with symptomatic treatment. Twenty days after this attack of migrainous aura she had a similar episode. An MRI scan was performed again. It revealed similar lesions only in the right occipital lobe. Follow-up MRI performed seven weeks later was normal.
