    Abstract: Migraine affects how the brain processes sensory information at multiple levels. The aberrant integration of visual and somatosensory stimuli is thought to underlie Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, a disorder often reported as being associated with migraine. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the epidemiology of this syndrome in migraineurs and the association between Alice in Wonderland Syndrome episodes and migraine attacks. Therefore, we conducted a prospective cohort study to systematically evaluate the prevalence and the clinical features of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome in a large sample of patients with migraine. Methods All the patients attending for the first time a tertiary-level headache clinic were consecutively screened for Alice in Wonderland Syndrome symptoms by means of an ad hoc questionnaire and detailed clinical interview, over a period of 1.5 years. Patients experiencing Alice in Wonderland Syndrome symptoms were contacted for a follow-up after 8–12 months. Results Two hundred and ten patients were recruited: 40 patients (19%) reported lifetime occurrence of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, 90% of whom (38/40) had migraine with aura. Thirty-one patients experienced episodes of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome within 1 h from the start of migraine headache. Patients reported either visual or visual and somatosensory symptoms (i.e. somatosensory symptoms never presented alone). We collected the follow-up details of 30 patients with Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, 18 of whom had been prescribed a preventive treatment for migraine. After 8–12 months, 5 of the treated patients reported a decrease, while 13 reported no episodes of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Conclusion Alice in Wonderland Syndrome prevalence in migraineurs was found to be higher than expected. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome was mostly associated with migraine with aura and tended to occur close to the migraine attack, suggesting the existence of a common pathophysiological mechanism. Patients treated with migraine preventive treatments had a higher chance of decreasing or even resolving Alice in Wonderland Syndrome episodes.

    Abstract: An under-recognised U-shaped model states that unconscious and conscious perceptual effects are functionally exclusive and that unconscious perceptual effects manifest themselves only at the objective detection threshold, when conscious perception is completely absent. We tested the U-shaped line model with a between-subjects paradigm. Angry, happy, neutral faces, or blank slides were flashed for 5.5 ms and 19.5 ms before Chinese ideographs in a darkened room. A group of volunteers ( n = 84) were asked to rate how much they liked each ideograph and performed an identification task. According to the median identification score two subgroups were composed; one with 50% or 〈 50% identification scores ( n = 31), and one with above 50% identification scores ( n = 53). The hypothesised U-shaped line was confirmed by the findings. Affective priming was found only at the two extreme points: the 5.5 ms condition of the low-identification group (subliminal perception) and the 19.5 ms condition of the 〉 50% high-identification group (supraliminal perception). The two intermediate points (19.5 ms of the low-identification group and 5.5 ms of the high-identification group) did not correspond to significant priming effects. These results confirm that a complete absence of conscious perception is the condition for the deployment of unconscious perceptual effects.

    Abstract: In hematologic malignancies, bone marrow aspiration is considered complementary to bone marrow biopsy for the detection of tumor infiltration. The present study evaluated the accuracy of bone marrow aspiration and the relative contributions of bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy in detecting bone marrow involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Methods and study design We compared 51 simultaneous marrow aspirates and core biopsies from non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients for sensitivity, specificity, concordance, quality and clinical relevance. Results The agreement level of bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow aspiration was 80%, and the overall sensitivity and specificity for bone marrow aspiration were 69% and 86%, respectively. When considering only the indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma samples, the sensitivity of bone marrow aspiration was 82% and the specificity was 85%, whereas the sensitivity and specificity were 40% and 86%, respectively, in the aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma specimens. Five cases (10%) were reported in which bone marrow biopsy did not detect lymphoid infiltration even though the bone marrow aspiration was positive. In one of these, lymphoid infiltration was documented by a second bone marrow biopsy performed thereafter. Conclusions The data from the current study show that bone marrow aspiration is a useful procedure with which to detect bone marrow infiltration by lymphoma. Although it cannot be a substitute for examination of the marrow by core biopsy, the utility of adding an aspirate to bone marrow biopsy is supported by its earlier and easier availability for bone marrow examination, the larger amounts of marrow that can be examined with both procedures, and the percentage, although small, of potentially true-positive bone marrow aspirates with negative biopsies.

    Abstract: Urological research is facing future challenges, the most difficult one is the fast and meaningful transfer of the massive amount of data from research basic to clinical practice. Between the most important issues that research should focus in the next years are targeting of tumor stem cells, clinical application of biomarkers, and wide application of genetic profiling of urological neoplasms. Several clinical implications are expected, from diagnosis to selection of candidates for different treatment modalities, to modulation of sequential treatment plans, to prognosis. A number of clinical trials based on research data from the hottest issues are in the pipeline. In this review, we will focus on new insights from recent work worlwide in urological research, with particular attention to high-risk nonmuscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and kidney cancer. Cancer care is moving towards a personalized approach in patient management. The most important issues in urological research point strongly in this direction and show an enormous potential for the rapid landing of Urology in the era of personalized medicine.

    Abstract: This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of an autologous tissue-engineered graft—a 2-step HYAFF autograft—in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers compared with standard care. In all, 180 patients with dorsal or plantar diabetic foot ulcers (unhealed for ≥1 month) were randomized to receive Hyalograft-3D autograft first and then Laserskin autograft after 2 weeks (n = 90; treatment group) or nonadherent paraffin gauze (n = 90; control group). Efficacy and adverse events were assessed weekly for 12 weeks, at 20 weeks, and at 18 months. The primary efficacy outcome was complete ulcer healing at 12 weeks. Wound debridement, adequate pressure relief, and infection control were provided to both groups. At 12 weeks, complete ulcer healing was similar in both groups (24% of treated vs 21% controls). A 50% reduction in ulcer area was achieved significantly faster in the treatment group (mean 40 vs 50 days; P = .018). Weekly percentage ulcer reduction was consistently higher in the treatment group. At 20 weeks, ulcer healing was achieved in 50% of the treated group as compared with 43% of controls. Dorsal ulcers had a 2.17-fold better chance of wound healing per unit time following autograft treatment ( P = .047). In a subgroup with hard-to-heal ulcers, there was a 3.65-fold better chance of wound healing following autograft treatment of dorsal ulcers ( P = .035). Adverse events were similar in both groups. The study results demonstrated the potential of this bioengineered substitutes to manage hard-to-heal dorsal foot ulcers.

    Abstract: Several new statistical tools and analytical frameworks have been recently developed to measure countries’ and sectors’ involvement in global value chains. Such a wealth of methodologies reflects the fact that different empirical questions call for distinct accounting methods and different levels of aggregation of trade flows. In this article, we describe icio, a new command for the computation of the most appropriate measures of trade in value added as well as participation in global value chains. icio follows the conceptual framework proposed by Borin and Mancini (2019, Policy Research Working Paper WPS 8804; WDR 2020 Background Paper, World Bank Group), which in turn extends, refines, and reconciles the other main contributions in this strand of the literature. icio is flexible enough to work with any intercountry input–output table and with any level of aggregation of trade flows.
