Abstract
Objectives to evaluate clinical chart of patients with IH who had cardiologic evaluation before propranolol therapy and to compare our findings with literature data. Introduction Some studies have assessed the incidence of heart defects in children suffering from infantile hemangioma (IH) treated with propranolol, showing a possible higher prevalence of cardiac abnormalities in this group of patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical charts of children with infantile hemangiomas referred to our dermatologic division from 2016 to 2021, who underwent our pediatric cardiology protocol screening before starting propranolol therapy. Results A total of 60 infants were enrolled. Electrocardiograms were available for all the patients and echocardiography for 50/60 (83.3%) children. Electrocardiogram didn’t reveal any alterations in most cases (pathologic in 2/60 ones, 3.3%) while echocardiograms revealed findings in 31/50 (51.7%) patients. Of these, persistent foramenovale, which was found in 14/50 patients (28%), was considered as non-pathologic. Interatrial septal defects were the main pathological finding in 15/50 patients (30%), as single defect or in association with other abnormalities. Conclusions Our study confirms the presence of a higher rate of cardiologic findings in patients with infantile hemangioma evaluated before starting oral propranolol, compared to the known rate of those defects in healthy newborns. We also confirm that interatrial septal defects are the most frequent pathologic finding with a higher prevalence compared to published studies. Large prospective studies are needed to clarify a possible association of pathological cardiac findings in all patients with infantile hemangiomas and thereafter to evaluate the possible effect of propranolol therapy on these defects during time.

Abstract
Three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy is a key technology for inspecting biological samples, ranging from single cells to entire organisms. We recently proposed a novel approach called spatially modulated Selective Volume Illumination Microscopy (smSVIM) to suppress illumination artifacts and to reduce the required number of measurements using an LED source. Here, we discuss a new strategy based on smSVIM for imaging large transparent specimens or voluminous chemically cleared tissues. The strategy permits steady mounting of the sample, achieving uniform resolution over a large field of view thanks to the synchronized motion of the illumination lens and the camera rolling shutter. Aided by a tailored deconvolution method for image reconstruction, we demonstrate significant improvement of the resolution at different magnification using samples of varying sizes and spatial features.

Abstract
The CLARITY trial (Controlled evaLuation of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers for COVID-19 respIraTorY disease) is a two-arm, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial being run in India and Australia that investigates the effectiveness of angiotensin receptor blockers in addition to standard care compared to placebo (in Indian sites) with standard care in reducing the duration and severity of lung failure in patients with COVID-19. The trial was designed as a Bayesian adaptive sample size trial with regular planned analyses where pre-specified decision rules will be assessed to determine whether the trial should be stopped due to sufficient evidence of treatment effectiveness or futility. Here, we describe the statistical analysis plan for the trial and define the pre-specified decision rules, including those that could lead to the trial being halted. The primary outcome is clinical status on a 7-point ordinal scale adapted from the WHO Clinical Progression scale assessed at day 14. The primary analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle. A Bayesian adaptive trial design was selected because there is considerable uncertainty about the extent of potential benefit of this treatment. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04394117.

Abstract
Combining the information coming from multiview acquisitions is a problem of great interest in light-sheet microscopy. Aligning the views and increasing the resolution of their fusion can be challenging, especially if the setup is not fully calibrated. Here, we tackle these issues by proposing a new reconstruction method based on autocorrelation inversion that avoids alignment procedures. On top of this, we add a blind deconvolution step to improve the resolution of the final reconstruction. Our method permits us to achieve inherently aligned, highly resolved reconstructions while, at the same time, estimating the unknown point-spread function of the system.

Abstract
Introduction: Primary cutaneous adenoid-cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare malignant tumour reported in only about 450 cases in the literature, with only two adolescent cases reported. PCACC seems to occur between the fifth and seventh decade of life, and the most frequent regions involved are head and neck (46%). Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) has an incidence of 1:10,000, and it seems to be rarely associated with neoplastic lesions. Interestingly, the association between PCACC and ACC has, so far, never been described. Methods: We report a case of PCACC in the scalp associated with ACC in a four-year-old patient. Discussion: The patient was under follow-up at the dermatology unit, but suddenly a red lesion appeared within the ACC. This red, ulcerated area increased rapidly over six months, so it was surgically removed, and the pathological examination results were suggestive for cribriform PCACC. According to the guidelines for skin tumours, the patient underwent widening resection, and an advancement-sliding skin flap was performed to recreate the scalp. After one year of follow-up, the patient has no local or widespread recurrence of the PCACC, and the surgical scar appears to have healed well. Conclusions: This clinical case is the first known patient with PCACC associated with ACC. A skin excision biopsy should be performed with wide margins to avoid a second widening resection of skin in a similar scenario. Genetic studies may help to identify the origin of this rare association.

Abstract
Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are multifactorial conditions resulting from a complex crosstalk among multiple molecular and biological processes. The present study investigates the association of variants localized in genes and miRNAs with aMCI and AD, which may represent susceptibility, prognostic biomarkers or multi-target treatment options for such conditions. We included 371 patients (217 aMCI and 154 AD) and 503 healthy controls, which were genotyped for a panel of 120 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and, subsequently, analyzed by statistical, bioinformatics and machine-learning approaches. As a result, 21 SNPs were associated with aMCI and 13 SNPs with sporadic AD. Interestingly, a set of variants shared between aMCI and AD displayed slightly higher Odd Ratios in AD with respect to aMCI, highlighting a specific risk trajectory linking aMCI to AD. Some of the associated genes and miRNAs were shown to interact within the signaling pathways of APP (Amyloid Precursor Protein), ACE2 (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2), miR-155 and PPARG (Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Gamma), which are known to contribute to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Overall, results of this study increase insights concerning the genetic factors contributing to the neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative mechanisms underlying aMCI and sporadic AD. They have to be exploited to develop personalized approaches based on the individual genetic make-up and multi-target treatments.

Abstract
Physical methods to control pest arthropods are increasing in importance, but detailed knowledge of the effects of some of these methods on the target organisms is lacking. The aim of this study was to use light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) in anatomical studies of blood-sucking arthropods in vivo to assess the suitability of this method to investigate the morphological structures of arthropods and changes in these structures over time, using the human louse Pediculus humanus (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) as sample organism. Plasma treatment was used as an example of a procedure employed to control arthropods. The lice were prepared using an artificial membrane feeding method involving the ingestion of human blood alone and human blood with an added fluorescent dye in vitro. It was shown that such staining leads to a notable enhancement of the imaging contrast with respect to unstained whole lice and internal organs that can normally not be viewed by transmission microscopy but which become visible by this approach. Some lice were subjected to plasma treatment to inflict damage to the organisms, which were then compared to untreated lice. Using LSFM, a change in morphology due to plasma treatment was observed. These results demonstrate that fluorescence staining coupled with LSFM represents a powerful and straightforward method enabling the investigation of the morphology—including anatomy—of blood-sucking lice and other arthropods.

Abstract
The aberrations induced by the sample and/or by the sample holder limit the resolution of optical microscopes. Wavefront correction can be achieved using a deformable mirror with wavefront sensorless optimization algorithms but, despite the complexity of these systems, the level of correction is often limited to a small area in the field of view of the microscope. In this work, we present a plug and play module for aberration measurement and correction. The wavefront correction is performed through direct wavefront reconstruction using the spinning-pupil aberration measurement and controlling a deformable lens in closed loop. The lens corrects the aberrations in the center of the field of view, leaving residual aberrations at the margins, that are removed by anisoplanatic deconvolution. We present experimental results obtained in fluorescence microscopy, with a wide field and a light sheet fluorescence microscope. These results indicate that detection and correction over the full field of view can be achieved with a compact transmissive module placed in the detection path of the fluorescence microscope.

Abstract
Before a new screening test can be used in routine screening, its performance needs to be compared to the standard screening test. This comparison is generally done in population screening trials with a screen-positive design where participants undergo one or both screening tests after which disease verification takes place for those positive on at least one screening test. We consider the randomized paired screen-positive design of Alonzo and Kittelson where participants are randomized to receive one of the two screening tests and only participants with a positive screening test subsequently receive the other screening test followed by disease verification. The tests are usually offered in an unblinded fashion in which case the screening uptake may differ between arms, in particular when one test is more burdensome than the other. When uptake is associated with disease, the estimator for the relative sensitivity derived by Alonzo and Kittelson may be biased and the type I error of the associated statistical test is no longer guaranteed to be controlled. We present methods for comparing sensitivities of screening tests in randomized paired screen-positive trials that are robust to differential screening uptake. In a simulation study, we show that our methods adequately control the type I error when screening uptake is associated with disease. We apply the developed methods to data from the IMPROVE trial, a nonblinded cervical cancer screening trial comparing the accuracy of HPV testing on self-collected versus provider-collected samples. In this trial, screening uptake was higher among participants randomized to self-collection.

Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) play a key role in cell signaling across organisms. In plants, a plethora of environmental and developmental stimuli induce specific Ca2+ increases in the cytosol as well as in different cellular compartments including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER represents an intracellular Ca2+ store that actively accumulates Ca2+ taken up from the cytosol. By exploiting state-of-the-art genetically encoded Ca2+ indicators, specifically the ER-GCaMP6-210 and R-GECO1, we report the generation and characterization of an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) line that allows for simultaneous imaging of Ca2+ dynamics in both the ER and cytosol at different spatial scales. By performing analyses in single cells, we precisely quantified (1) the time required by the ER to import Ca2+ from the cytosol into the lumen and (2) the time required to observe a cytosolic Ca2+ increase upon the pharmacological inhibition of the ER-localized P-Type IIA Ca2+-ATPases. Furthermore, live imaging of mature, soil-grown plants revealed the existence of a wounding-induced, long-distance ER Ca2+ wave propagating in injured and systemic rosette leaves. This technology enhances high-resolution analyses of intracellular Ca2+ dynamics at the cellular level and in adult organisms and paves the way to develop new methodologies aimed at defining the contribution of subcellular compartments in Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling.

Abstract
Inflation solves several cosmological problems at the classical and quantum level, with a strong agreement between the theoretical predictions of well-motivated inflationary models and observations. In this Letter, we study the corrections induced by dynamical collapse models, which phenomenologically solve the quantum measurement problem, to the power spectrum of the comoving curvature perturbation during inflation and the radiation-dominated era. We find that the corrections are strongly negligible for the reference values of the collapse parameters.
