Transient massive hyperlipidaemia in a type 2 diabetic subject
A 50-year-old man, in apparently good health, was referred
to the Lipid Center of San Luigi Gonzaga Hospital,
Orbassano (Turin, Italy), by his primary care physician
(PCP) because clinical tests at the time of blood donation
showed milky plasma with serious hypertriglyceridaemia
(>5000 mg/dl) and hyperglycaemia (381 mg/dl), diagnostic
for diabetes. It was not possible to perform further blood
chemical analyses because hypertriglyceridaemia would
have provided abnormal results. The patient entered the hospital to prevent acute pancreatitis, which is often associated
with severe hypertriglyceridaemi
Treatment options for severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG): the role of apheresis
Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with a number of severe diseases such as acute pancreatitis and coronary artery disease. In severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG, triglycerides > 1,000 mg/dL), rapid lowering of plasma triglycerides (TG) has to be achieved. Treatment regimes include nutritional intervention, the use of antihyperlipidemic drugs, and therapeutic apheresis. Apheretic treatment is indicated in medical emergencies such as hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis
An open-access database and analysis tool for perovskite solar cells based on the FAIR data principles
Large datasets are now ubiquitous as technology enables higher-throughput experiments, but rarely can a research field truly benefit from the research data generated due to inconsistent formatting, undocumented storage or improper dissemination. Here we extract all the meaningful device data from peer-reviewed papers on metal-halide perovskite solar cells published so far and make them available in a database. We collect data from over 42,400 photovoltaic devices with up to 100 parameters per device. We then develop open-source and accessible procedures to analyse the data, providing examples of insights that can be gleaned from the analysis of a large dataset. The database, graphics and analysis tools are made available to the community and will continue to evolve as an open-source initiative. This approach of extensively capturing the progress of an entire field, including sorting, interactive exploration and graphical representation of the data, will be applicable to many fields in materials science, engineering and biosciences

Language Proficiency and Migration: An Argument Against Testing
This paper aims at questioning the rationale for language testing in immigration policies. Although we consider knowledge of the host country’s language(s) useful and desirable for both the migrant and the host society, we argue that mandatory language testing cannot be justified. Our purpose is to offer justifications for rejecting language as a legitimate tool for controlling state borders and to regulate (access to) citizenship of a liberal democracy
