Psychological impact of Covid-19 pandemic on oncological patients: a survey in Northern Italy
The psychological impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on cancer patients, a population at higher risk of fatal consequences if infected, has been only rarely evaluated. This study was conducted at the Departments of Oncology of four hospitals located in the Verona area in Italy to investigate the psychological consequences of the pandemic on cancer patients under active anticancer treatments. A 13-item ad hoc questionnaire to evaluate the psychological status of patients before and during the pandemic was administered to 474 consecutive subjects in the time frame between April 27th and June 7th 2020. Among the 13 questions, 7 were considered appropriate to elaborate an Emotional Vulnerability Index (EVI) that allows to separate the population in two groups (low versus high emotional vulnerability) according to observed median values. During the emergency period, the feeling of high vulnerability was found in 246 patients (53%) and was significantly associated with the following clinical variables: female gender, being under chemotherapy treatment, age 64 65 years. Compared to the pre-pandemic phase, the feeling of vulnerability was increased in 41 patients (9%), remained stably high in 196 (42%) and, surprisingly, was reduced in 10 patients (2%). Overall, in a population characterized by an high level of emotional vulnerability the pandemic had a marginal impact and only a small proportion of patients reported an increase of their emotional vulnerability
Main clinical features in patients at their first psychiatric admission to Italian acute hospital psychiatric wards. The PERSEO study
BACKGROUND: Few data are available on subjects presenting to acute wards for the first time with psychotic symptoms. The aims of this paper are (i) to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients at their first psychiatric admission (FPA), including socio-demographic features, risk factors, life habits, modalities of onset, psychiatric diagnoses and treatments before admission; (ii) to assess the aggressive behavior and the clinical management of FPA patients in Italian acute hospital psychiatric wards, called SPDCs (Servizio Psichiatrico Diagnosi e Cura = psychiatric service for diagnosis and management). METHOD: Cross-sectional observational multi-center study involving 62 Italian SPDCs (PERSEO – Psychiatric EmeRgency Study and EpidemiOlogy). RESULTS: 253 FPA aged <= 40 were identified among 2521 patients admitted to Italian SPDCs over the 5-month study period. About half of FPA patients showed an aggressive behavior as defined by a Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) score greater than 0 Vs 46% of non-FPA patients (p = 0.3651). The most common was verbal aggression, while about 20% of FPA patients actually engaged in physical aggression against other people. 74% of FPA patients had no diagnosis at admission, while 40% had received a previous psychopharmacological treatment, mainly benzodiazepines and antidepressants. During SPDC stay, diagnosis was established in 96% of FPA patients and a pharmacological therapy was prescribed to 95% of them, mainly benzodiazepines, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. CONCLUSION: Subjects presenting at their first psychiatric ward admission have often not undergone previous adequate psychiatric assessment and diagnostic procedures. The first hospital admission allows diagnosis and psychopharmacological treatment to be established. In our population, aggressive behaviors were rather frequent, although most commonly verbal. Psychiatric symptoms, as evaluated by psychiatrists and patients, improved significantly from admission to discharge both for FPA and non-FPA patients
“Largo a noi, all’alta battaglia”: Zola’s engagement in Italian perspective
In a few of his novels belonging to the series Les Rougon-Macquart, especially in Germinal, Zola develops the relationship between literature and politics in the most powerful way: actually, these novels come to shook or to awaken readers, and sometimes to urge them to political engagement, exactly because they are not programmatically engaged; and, of course, they arouse very different reactions. We represent here two of the most interesting ones: a harsh criticism of Germinal by Edoardo Scarfoglio, one among the sharpest journalists of the time; and a deeply affected commemoration of Zola by Filippo Turati, the leader of Italian Socialist Party

Characterization of microRNA Levels in Synovial Fluid from Knee Osteoarthritis and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears
This study investigated modifications of microRNA expression profiles in knee synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Twelve microRNAs (26a-5p, 27a-3p, let7a-5p, 140-5p, 146-5p, 155-5p, 16-5p,186-5p, 199a-3p, 210-3p, 205-5p, and 30b-5p) were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in synovial fluids obtained from 30 patients with ACL tear and 18 patients with knee OA. These 12 miRNAs were chosen on the basis of their involvement in pathological processes of bone and cartilage. Our results show that miR-26a-5p, miR-186-5p, and miR-30b-5p were expressed in the majority of OA and ACL tear samples, whereas miR-199a-3p, miR-210-3p, and miR-205-5p were detectable only in a few samples. Interestingly, miR-140-5p was expressed in only one sample of thirty in the ACL tear group. miR-140-5p has been proposed to modulate two genes (BGN and COL5A1100) that are involved in ligamentous homeostasis; their altered expression could be linked with ACL rupture susceptibility. The expression of miR-30b-5p was higher in OA and chronic ACL groups compared to acute ACL samples. We provide evidence that specific miRNAs could be detected not only in synovial fluid of patients with OA, but also in post-traumatic ACL tears

Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2-positive psychiatric in-patients: A case-control study in the psychiatric wards of a Great Metropolitan Hospital in Milan
: During the first Covid-19 outbreak, the Niguarda Hospital of Milan featured two Psychiatry wards, one for SARS-CoV-2 positive patient and one for patients requiring hospitalization and negative for SARS-CoV-2. The two groups of patients were compared and were similar in distribution of psychiatric diagnosis, duration of illness and previous hospitalizations. SARS-CoV-2 positive participants had a lower severity of symptoms both at admission and discharge, a lower frequency of psychotic symptoms and substance intoxication at admission. These findings suggest that patients admitted to the COVID ward were hospitalized not only for their mental health condition but also because of the infection
