Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) significantly decrease LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), either as monotherapy or in addition to the maximally tolerated dose of statin and/or ezetimibe. Yet, few data are available on efficacy and background lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) adjustment in patients treated with PCSK9i in real-world observations.
Purpose
AT-TARGET-IT is an Italian multicenter registry involving 9 Italian centers, designed to assess efficacy, adherence, and persistence of PCSK9i, as well as prescribing doctors' behavior in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The aim of the present analysis was to assess efficacy and changes in background LLT therapy in patients on PCSK9i in a real-world single country observation.
Methods
From June through November 2021, we enrolled patients with PCSK9i first prescription from 6 months before inclusion through starting of PCSK9i use. Clinical and demographic characteristics, concomitant therapies, blood chemistry, were recorded at the time of first prescription and at the latest observation preceding inclusion in the study. Background therapy was assessed at baseline and during follow-up, evaluating treatment withdrawal, reduction of doses, or changes from statin-ezetimibe association to single drug therapy.
Results
We enrolled 798 patients (27% with FH) receiving either alirocumab or evolocumab and followed for a median time of 19.3 months. At the time of PCSK9i first prescription LDL-C was 147.6 mg/dl and reached 51.5 mg/dl at the time of latest observation (64% reduction), and 129 patients (16%) were not receiving any LLT, 669 patients received background LLT, of them 246 (31%) were taking ezetimibe alone and 423 (53%) were taking statins with or without ezetimibe. At the end of the observation period, 785 patients (98%) were still receiving PCSK9i and 550 (69%) did not change background LLT. Of 248 patients changing background LLT, 116 (47%) withdrew therapy, 132 (53%) changed dose or type of LLT. After stratification by achievement of LDL-C target according CV risk class, 483 patients achieved the target (60%). Target was achieved at the end of the observation period in 63% of patients taking triple therapy, 65% patients receiving PCSK9i plus statins, 62% of patients receiving PCSK9i plus ezetimibe and 55% receiving PCSK9i alone (Figure 1). No significant differences in terms of percentage of patients changing background LLT during PCSK9i treatment were found between patients at target for LDL-C and those not at target.
Conclusion
AT-TARGET-IT study shows that PCSK9i therapy is effective in reaching LDL-C target in the majority of patients, yet a sizable number of them (40%) remains undertreated. LLT background therapy is either reduced or withdrawn in 31% of patients, being responsible for not reaching target. Reasons for inappropriate LLT changes in patients receiving PCSK9i should be identified and removed to optimize lipid control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delirium is thought to be common across various settings of care; however, still little research has been conducted in rehabilitation. AIM We investigated the prevalence of delirium, its features and motor subtypes in older patients admitted to rehabilitation facilities during the three editions of the "Delirium Day project". METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 1237 older patients (age ≥ 65 years old) admitted to 50 Italian rehabilitation wards during the three editions of the "Delirium Day project" (2015 to 2017) were included. Delirium was evaluated through the 4AT and its motor subtype with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. RESULTS Delirium was detected in 226 patients (18%), and the most recurrent motor subtype was mixed (37%), followed by hypoactive (26%), hyperactive (21%) and non-motor one (16%). In a multivariate Poisson regression model with robust variance, factors associated with delirium were: disability in basic (PR 1.48, 95%CI: 1.17-1.9, p value 0.001) and instrumental activities of daily living (PR 1.58, 95%CI: 1.08-2.32, p value 0.018), dementia (PR 2.10, 95%CI: 1.62-2.73, p value < 0.0001), typical antipsychotics (PR 1.47, 95%CI: 1.10-1.95, p value 0.008), antidepressants other than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (PR 1.3, 95%CI: 1.02-1.66, p value 0.035), and physical restraints (PR 2.37, 95%CI: 1.68-3.36, p value < 0.0001). CONCLUSION This multicenter study reports that 2 out 10 patients admitted to rehabilitations had delirium on the index day. Mixed delirium was the most prevalent subtype. Delirium was associated with unmodifiable (dementia, disability) and modifiable (physical restraints, medications) factors. Identification of these factors should prompt specific interventions aimed to prevent or mitigate delirium.

Abstract
Introduction Delirium and sarcopenia are common, although underdiagnosed, geriatric
syndromes. Several pathological mechanisms can link delirium and low skeletal muscle mass, but few studies have investigated their association. We aimed to investigate (1) the association between delirium and low skeletal muscle mass and (2) the possible role of calf circumference mass in finding cases with delirium. Methods The analyses were conducted employing the cross-sectional “Delirium Day” initiative, on patient 65 years and older admitted to acute hospital medical wards, emergency departments, rehabilitation wards, nursing homes and hospices in Italy in 2017. Delirium was diagnosed as a 4 + score at the 4-AT scale. Low skeletal muscle mass was operationally defined as calf circumference ≤ 34 cm in males and ≤ 33 cm in females. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between low skeletal muscle mass and delirium. The discriminative ability of calf circumference was evaluated using non-parametric ROC analyses. Results A sample of 1675 patients was analyzed. In total, 73.6% of participants had low skeletal muscle mass and 24.1% exhibited delirium. Low skeletal muscle mass and delirium showed an independent association (OR: 1.50; 95% CI 1.09–2.08). In the subsample of patients without a diagnosis of dementia, the inclusion of calf circumference in a model based on age and sex significantly improved its discriminative accuracy [area under the curve (AUC) 0.69 vs 0.57, p < 0.001]. Discussion and conclusion Low muscle mass is independently associated with delirium. In patients without a previous diagnosis of dementia, calf circumference may help to better identify those who develop delirium.

Abstract
Dust polarization observations are a powerful, practical tool to probe the geometry (and to some extent, the strength) of magnetic fields in starforming regions. In particular, Planck polarization data have revealed the importance of magnetic fields on large scales in molecular clouds. However, due to insufficient resolution, Planck observations are unable to constrain the B-field geometry on prestellar and protostellar scales. The high angular resolution of 11.7 arcsec provided by NIKA2-Pol 1.15 mm polarimetric imaging, corresponding to 0.02 pc at the distance of the Orion molecular cloud (OMC), makes it possible to advance our understanding of the B-field morphology in star-forming filaments and dense cores (IRAM 30m large program B-FUN). The commissioning of the NIKA2-Pol instrument has led to several challenging issues, in particular, the instrumental polarization or intensity-to-polarization “leakage” effect. In the present paper, we illustrate how this effect can be corrected for, leading to reliable exploitable data in a structured, extended source such as OMC-1. We present a statistical comparison between NIKA2-Pol and SCUBA2-Pol2 results in the OMC-1 region. We also present tentative evidence of local pinching of the B-field lines near Orion-KL, in the form of a new small-scale hourglass pattern, in addition to the larger-scale hourglass already seen by other instruments such as Pol2.

Abstract
We describe the preliminary on-sky results of the KIDs Interferometer Spectrum Survey (KISS), a spectral imager with a 1 deg field of view (FoV). The instrument operates in the range 120–180 GHz from the 2.25m Q-U-I JOint TEnerife telescope in Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Canary Islands), at 2 395m altitude above sea level. Spectra at low resolution, up to 1.45 GHz, are obtained using a fast (3.72 Hz mechanical frequency) Fourier transform spectrometer, coupled to a continuous dilution cryostat with a stabilized temperature of 170mK that hosts two 316-pixel arrays of lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors. KISS generates more than 3 000 spectra per second during observations and represents a pathfinder to demonstrate the potential for spectral mapping with large FoV.We give an overall description of the spectral mapping paradigm and we present recent results from observations, in this paper.

Abstract
We present a multi-probe analysis of the well-known galaxy cluster CL J1226.9+3332 as a proof of concept for multi-wavelength studies within the framework of the NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Large Program (LPSZ). CL J1226.9+3332 is a massive and high redshift (z = 0.888) cluster that has already been observed at several wavelengths. A joint analysis of the thermal SZ (tSZ) effect at millimeter wavelength with the NIKA2 camera and in X-ray with the XMM-Newton satellite permits the reconstruction of the cluster’s thermodynamical properties and mass assuming hydrostatic equilibrium. We test the robustness of our mass estimates against different definitions of the data analysis transfer function. Using convergence maps reconstructed from the data of the CLASH program we obtain estimates of the lensing mass, which we compare to the estimated hydrostatic mass. This allows us to measure the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias and the associated systematic effects related to the NIKA2 measurement. We obtain M500HSE = (7:65 ± 1:03) × 1014M⊙ and M500lens = (7:35 ± 0:65) × 1014M⊙, which implies a HSE-to-lensing bias consistent with 0 within 20%.

Abstract
New observations of the edge-on galaxy NGC 891, at 1.15 and 2mm obtained with the IRAM 30-m telescope and the NIKA2 camera, within the framework of the IMEGIN (Interpreting the Millimetre Emission of Galaxies with IRAM and NIKA2) Large Program, are presented in this work. By using multiwavelength maps (from the mid-IR to the cm wavelengths) we perform SED fitting in order to extract the physical properties of the galaxy on both global and local (~kpc) scales. For the interpretation of the observations we make use of a state-of-the-art SED fitting code, HerBIE (HiERarchical Bayesian Inference for dust Emission). The observations indicate a galaxy morphology, at mm wavelengths, similar to that of the cold dust emission traced by submm observations and to that of the molecular gas. The contribution of the radio emission at the NIKA2 bands is very small (negligible at 1.15 mm and ~ 10% at 2 mm) while it dominates the total energy budget at longer wavelengths (beyond 5 mm). On local scales, the distribution of the free-free emission resembles that of the dust thermal emission while the distribution of the synchrotron emission shows a deficiency along the major axis of the disc of the galaxy.

Abstract
The NIKA2 Guaranteed-Time SZ Large Program (LPSZ) is dedicated to the high-angular resolution SZ mapping of a representative sample of 45 SZ-selected galaxy clusters drawn from the catalogues of the Planck satellite, or of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. The LPSZ sample spans a mass range from 3 to 11 × 1014M⊙ and a redshift range from 0:5 to 0:9, extending to higher redshift and lower mass the previous samples dedicated to the cluster mass calibration and universal properties estimation. The main goals of the LPSZ are the measurement of the average radial profile of the ICM pressure up to R500 by combining NIKA2 with Planck or ACT data, and the estimation of the scaling law between the SZ observable and the mass using NIKA2, XMM-Newton and Planck/ACT data. Furthermore, combining LPSZ data with existing or forthcoming public data in lensing, optical/NIR or radio domains, we will build a consistent picture of the cluster physics and further gain knowledge on the mass estimate as a function of the cluster morphology and dynamical state.
We give an overview of the LPSZ, present recent results and discuss the future implication for cosmology with galaxy clusters.

Abstract
As the possible progenitors of passive galaxies at z=2-3, dusty starforming galaxies (DSFGs) at z>4 provide a unique perspective to study the formation, assembly, and early quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe. The extreme obscuration in optical-IR makes (sub)mm spectral scans the most universal and unbiased way to confirm/exclude the high-z nature of candidate dusty star-forming galaxies. We present here the status of the NIKA2 Cosmological Legacy Survey (N2CLS), which is the deepest wide-area singledish survey in the millimeter searching for high-z DSFGs. We also introduce a joint-analysis method to effciently search for the spectroscopic redshift of high-z DSFGs with noisy spectra and photometric data and present its success in identifying the redshift of DSFGs found in NIKA2 science verification data.

Abstract
In the past decade filaments have been recognised as a major structural element of the interstellar medium, the densest of these filaments hosting the formation of most stars. In some star-forming molecular clouds converging networks of filaments, also known as hub filament systems, can be found. These hubs are believed to be preferentially associated to massive star formation. As of today, there are no metrics that allow the systematic quantification of a filament network convergence. Here, we used the IRAM 30m NIKA2 observations of the Galactic plane from the GASTON large programme to systematically identify filaments and produce a filament convergence parameter map. We use such a map to show that: i. hub filaments represent a small fraction of the global filament population; ii. hubs host, in proportion, more massive and more luminous compact sources that non-hubs; iii. hub-hosting clumps are more evolved that non-hubs; iv. no discontinuities are observed in the properties of compact sources as a function of convergence parameter. We propose that the rapid global collapse of clumps is responsible for (re)organising filament networks into hubs and, in parallel, enhancing the mass growth of compact sources.

Abstract
PSZ2 G091.83+26.11 is a massive galaxy cluster with M500 = 7:43 × 1014M⊙ at z = 0:822. This object exhibits a complex morphology with a clear bimodality observed in X-rays. However, it was detected and analysed in the Planck sample as a single, spherical cluster following a universal profile [1]. This model can lead to miscalculations of thermodynamical quantities, like the pressure profile. As future multiwavelength cluster experiments will detect more and more objects at higher redshifts (where we expect the fraction of merging objects to be higher), it is crucial to quantify this systematic effect. In this work, we use high-resolution observations of PSZ2 G091.83+26.11 by the NIKA2 camera to integrate the morphological characteristics of the cluster in our modelling. This is achieved by fitting a two-halo model to the SZ image and then by reconstruction of the resulting projected pressure profile. We then compare these results with the spherical assumption.

Abstract
CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionisation and ReionisaTiOn) is a large field-of-view (FoV) spectro-imager that has been installed on the Cassegrain Cabin of Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescope in April 2021. CONCERTO hosts 2 focal planes and a total number of 4000 Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID), with an instantaneous FoV of 18.6 arcminutes in the range of 130-310 GHz. The spectral resolution can be easily tuned down to 1 GHz depending on the scientific target. The scientific program of CONCERTO has many objectives, with two main programs focused on mapping the fluctuations of the [CII] line intensity in the reionisation and postreionisation epoch (4.5<z<8.5), and on studying galaxy clusters via the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect. CONCERTO will also measure the dust and molecular gas contents of local and intermediate-redshift galaxies, it will study the Galactic star-forming clouds and finally it will observe the CO intensity fluctuations arising from 0.3<z<2 galaxies.
The design of the instrument, installation at APEX and current status of the commissioning phase and science verification will be presented. Also we describe the deployment and first on-sky tests performed between April and June 2021.

Abstract
High-mass stars (m* ≳ 8 M⊙) play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies, and so it is imperative that we understand how they are formed. We have used the New IRAM KIDs Array 2 (NIKA2) camera on the Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) 30-m telescope to conduct high-sensitivity continuum mapping of ~ 2 deg2 of the Galactic plane (GP) as part of the Galactic Star Formation with NIKA2 (GASTON) large program. We have identified a total of 1467 clumps within our deep 1.15 mm continuum maps and, by using overlapping continuum, molecular line, and maser parallax data, we have determined their distances and physical properties. By placing them upon an approximate evolutionary sequence based upon 8 μm Spitzer imaging, we find evidence that the most massive dense clumps accrete material from their surrounding environment during their early evolution, before dispersing as star formation advances, supporting clump-fed models of high-mass star formation.

Abstract
Using the NIKA2 dual band millimeter camera installed on the IRAM30m telescope, we have mapped a relatively large field (~ 70 arcmin2) in the direction of the star GJ526 to investigate the nature of the sources found with the MAMBO camera at 1.2 mm ten years earlier. We have found that they must be dust-obscured galaxies (SMGs) in the background beyond the star. The new NIKA2 map at 1.15 mm reveals additional sources and, in fact, an overdensity of SMGs predominantly distributed along a filament-like structure in projection on the sky across the whole observed field. We speculate this might be a cosmic filament at high redshift as revealed in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. Measurement of spectroscopic redshifts of the SMGs in the candidate filament is required now for a definitive confirmation of the nature of the structure.

Abstract
The quest for primordial gravitational waves enclosed in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization B-modes signal motivates the development of a new generation of high sensitive experiments (e.g. CMBS4, LiteBIRD), thus allowing to probe the inflationary epoch in the early Universe. However, this will be only possible by ensuring a high control of the instrumental systematic effects and an accurate absolute calibration of the polarization angle.
The Crab nebula is known to be a polarization calibrator on the sky for CMB experiments. Already used for the Planck satellite it exhibits a high polarized signal at microwave wavelengths. In this work we present Crab polarization observations obtained, in the 260 GHz frequency band, with the NIKA2 instrument. Furthermore, we discuss the accuracy needed on such a measurement to improve the constraints on the absolute angle calibration for CMB experiments.

Abstract
Starting from the clusters included in the NIKA sample and in the NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Large Program (LPSZ) we have selected a sample of six common objects with the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) lensing data. For the LPSZ clusters we have at our disposal both high-angular resolution observations of the thermal SZ with NIKA and NIKA2 and X-ray observations with XMM-Newton from which hydrostatic mass estimates can be derived. In addition, the CLASH dataset includes lensing convergence maps that can be converted into lensing estimates of the total mass of the cluster. One-dimensional mass profiles are used to derive integrated mass estimates accounting for systematic effects (data processing, modeling, etc.). Two-dimensional analysis of the maps can reveal substructures in the cluster and, therefore, inform us about the dynamical state of each system. Moreover, we are able to study the hydrostatic mass to lensing mass bias, across different morphology and a range of redshift clusters to give more insight on the hydrostatic mass bias. The analysis presented in this proceeding follows the study discussed in [20].

Abstract
We present preliminary results from an on-going program that aims at mapping the intracluster medium (ICM) temperature of high redshift galaxy clusters from the MaDCoWS sample using a joint analysis of shallow X-ray data obtained by Chandra and high angular resolution Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) observations realized with the NIKA2 and MUSTANG-2 cameras. We also present preliminary results from an on-going Open Time program within the NIKA2 collaboration that aims at mapping the ICM temperature of a galaxy cluster at z = 0.45 from the resolved detection of the relativistic corrections to the SZ spectrum. These studies demonstrate how high angular resolution SZ observations will play a major role in the coming decade to push the investigation of ICM dynamics and non-gravitational processes to high redshift before the next generation X-ray observatories come into play.

Abstract
Interstellar dust plays an important role in the formation of molecular gas and the heating and cooling of the interstellar medium. The spatial distribution of the mm-wavelength dust emission from galaxies is largely unexplored. The NIKA2 Guaranteed Time Project IMEGIN (Interpreting the Millimeter Emission of Galaxies with IRAM and NIKA2) has recently mapped the mm emission in the grand design spiral galaxy NGC6946. By subtracting the contributions from the free-free, synchrotron, and CO line emission, we map the distribution of the pure dust emission at 1:15mm and 2mm. Separating the arm/interarm regions, we find a dominant 2mm emission from interarms indicating the significant role of the general interstellar radiation field in heating the cold dust. Finally, we present maps of the dust mass, temperature, and emissivity index using the Bayesian MCMC modeling of the spectral energy distribution in NGC6946.

Abstract
Background
A quick and accurate case identification in the Emergency Department (ED) during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is crucial for clinical management and to prevent spread of infections. The gold standard for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection is the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test in upper airways swabs. However, the procedure is available in few specialized laboratories and requires an average sample processing time of about 6 hours from its inception. The development of reliable but cheaper and faster point-of-care tests was expected to be useful either for population-screening or as first aid tests in the ED. Rapid antigenic diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs), directly detect SARS-CoV-2 proteins produced by the replicating virus in respiratory specimens, were proved to be candidates in both cases. However, data on their effectiveness are still few and controversial. The aim of the study is to establish the accuracy of antigen tests to identify SARS-CoV-2 in a high prevalence setting.
Methods
Results of 324 patients, consecutively admitted to the ED of San Luigi Gonzaga University Hospital in Orbassano (Turin, Italy) between 26 October and 10 November 2020 and subjected to both molecular and antigen tests, were compared.
Results
Using RT-PCR as gold standard, specificity and sensitivity of Ag-RDT were 0.94 (95%CI: 0.90-0.98) and 0.80 (95%CI: 0.75-0.85), respectively. The Ag-RDT positive predictive value was 0.96 (95%CI 0.93- 0.99), and the negative predictive value was 0.72 (95% CI: 0.65-0.79). Patients that tested negative to Ag-RDT but presented with fever and cough or had pneumonia at imaging were more likely to be false negatives. Ag-RDTs best performance occurs in the first days after symptom onset.
Conclusions
These results confirm the limits of antigenic tests as first line screening tests and suggest that the antigenic test should be integrated with clinical judgement, based on physical and instrumental examinations.
Key messages
Antigenic tests have a limited effectiveness as first line screening tests. In a high-prevalence setting these tests incorrectly judge as negative many COVID-19 symptomatic patients, making necessary to integrate their results with clinical judgement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irisin, a myokine, is a polypeptide derived from the cleavage of the extracellular domain of fibronectin domain-containing protein 5, a receptor that is present on different tissues (skeletal muscle, pericardium, myocardium, and brain), whose functions are not yet fully defined. PURPOSE The main aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of competitive physical activity on serum irisin levels and bone turnover markers. METHODS Fifteen male footballers and an equal number of subjects of the same age and gender, but with a predominantly sedentary lifestyle, had their serum levels of irisin and bone turnover markers measured. Bone mineral status was evaluated in both groups by quantitative bone ultrasound of the calcaneus. In addition, only in footballers, biochemical analyses were repeated after 3 months. RESULTS We did not observe significant differences in the serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone between the two groups. The footballers had significantly higher quantitative bone ultrasound, 25-OH vitamin D, and creatinine values than the controls. There were also no significant differences in the bone alkaline phosphatase, carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, osteoprotegerin, sclerostin or Dkk-1 values, while the irisin levels (+ 89%, p < 0.001) and RANKL were significantly higher in the footballers compared to those in the controls. CONCLUSION Our study shows that footballers have significantly higher serum irisin values than the general population. Irisin could be the "trait d'union" between bone health and physical activity.

Abstract
Background:Zoledronate (Zol) is an aminobisphosphonate commonly used to treat osteoporosis and other benign and malignant skeletal diseases. Exposure to bisphosphonates has been previously associated with the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), a rare but serious side effect. In cancer patients, the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been advocated to take part to BRONJ pathogenesis via interfering with angiogenesis. No information is currently available on the VEGF concentrations after Zol administration for osteoporosis.Objectives:To explore change of VEGF concentrations after Zol administration in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.Methods:A total of twenty-eight postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis and at least one prevalent vertebral fracture were recruited and randomized in two groups. Eighteen women received a single i.v. dose of Zol 5 mg, while the other ten served as controls. Serum samples were collected at baseline, after 3 and 30 days, for repeated measurements of VEGF, and measurement of bone turn over markers and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D).Results:VEGF levels increased significantly after 3 days in women receiving Zol; then levels decreased after 30 days compared with VEGF concentrations at both day-3 and baseline (-18% at day-30 vs. baseline, p=0.01). 25(OH)D level, a surrogate of vitamin D status, was associated with VEGF change at the end of the study (r=0.29, p=0.028), and this association was maintained also after correcting for age, BMI, time since menopause, femoral neck BMD, osteocalcin, C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type 1 and baseline levels of VEGF (β=1.7, SE=0.71, p=0.03).Conclusion:Zol administration induced a reduction of circulating VEGF in postmenopausal women treated for osteoporosis, and vitamin D status has been showed to modulate this change. Further studies in this setting of women are needed to define whether VEGF modifications may predict the risk of BRONJ.Disclosure of Interests:None declared.

Abstract
CONTEXT AND PURPOSE Hypocalcemia and low parathyroid hormone levels have been commonly suggested as factors able to induce central nervous system disturbances. However, evidences on the occurrence of cognitive impairment are limited or underestimated. The aim of this review is, therefore, to systematically summarize the available evidence concerning the occurrence of cognitive impairment among subjects suffering from idiopathic or secondary hypoparathyroidism. METHODS A systematic selection of the available literature was performed by searching the online databases PubMed, Scopus and Web of Knowledge. RESULTS The present systematic review included sixteen case report articles and one cross-sectional controlled study. Case reports were the most representative literature sources and involved ten women and seven men. The presence of cognitive impairment was mostly discussed in association with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (HPT); five articles described the occurrence of cognitive impairment following postsurgical HPT. The case-controlled study reported a significant presence of peculiar cognitive deficits (e.g. reduced inhibitory control, impairment in visuo-spatial functioning among, and psychomotor retardation) among HPT subjects compared to healthy controls, with serum total calcium and its product with phosphorus as independent predictors of neuropsychological dysfunctions. CONCLUSION Even though mostly based on single case reports, the presence of neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of HPT appears to be a consistent core finding.

Abstract
Background:An association between bone health and consumption of citrus fruits have been previously reported; however, the effect of lemon juice on bone metabolism have not been explored yet.Objectives:To investigate bone metabolic changes in postmenopausal women assuming lemon juice.Methods:Participants were postmenopausal osteoporotic women without history of clinical fractures who agreed to enrich their diet with lemon juice (Acti Lemon, Polenghi) over a 2-month period. The daily juice dose of 30 ml we suggested was equivalent to one Sicilian organic lemon. Surrogate markers of bone formation as procollagen type 1 N-propeptide (P1NP) and of bone resorption as C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), but also some regulators of bone metabolism as RANK-L, OPG, RANK-L/OPG ratio and sclerostin were assessed at baseline and then at 1 and 2 months after lemon juice administration. Controls were represented by a placebo group of age-matched osteoporotic postmenopausal women.Results:47 participants [mean age 60.2 ± 4.1 yr.] completed the study, without reporting any adverse events. Lemon juice was well tolerated. Over the observation period modifications of bone metabolism occurred: we detected a decreased RANK-L/OPG ratio and increased CTX levels at all time points vs. baseline. Particularly, change at month-1 of sclerostin (versus baseline) has been positively associated with change at month-1 and month-2 of CTX (r=0.46, p=0.01 and r=0.43, p=0.01, respectively). Change at month-1 of OPG was positively associated with change at month-1 of P1NP (r=0.49, p=0.006). Change at month-1 of RANKL/OPG has been related with variation at day 30 of P1NP (r=-0.44, p=0.013). Variation of P1NP at month-1 was related with sclerostin variation at day 30 (r=-0.56, p=0.02) and month-2 vs. baseline value (r=0.44, p=0.017) and with sclerostin variation between month-1 and month-2 (r=0.69, p<0.001). Variation of P1NP between month-1 and month-2 was associated with RANKL change at month-1 (r=-0.35, p=0.05), with sclerostin change at month-1 (r=-0.49, p=0.008) and with sclerostin change between month-1 and month-2 (r=0.41, p=0.028). At a multiple regression analysis the change of P1NP between month-1 and month-2 was independently predicted by the change of sclerostin at month-1 (ß=-1.5, SE 0.5, p=0.006), after correcting for age, BMI and change of RANKL and CTX levels at month-1. No significant modifications raised from controls.Conclusion:Drinking lemon juice may boost bone metabolic changes involving both bone resorption and bone formation.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background:Vitamin D repletion is known to maximize the response to bisphosphonates (BPs) in terms of both bone mineral density (BMD) changes and anti-fracture efficacy. The contribute of vitamin to BMD after discontinuation of BPs has been poorly investigated.Objectives:To explore whether change of vitamin D status may contribute to the tail effect of alendronate (ALE) on BMD.Methods:Participants in this retrospective study were postmenopausal osteoporotic women exposed to ALE. Either cholecalciferol or calcifediol have been administered, as vitamin D supplementation in accordance to good clinical practice, during ALE treatment and after ALE discontinuation. BMD was evaluated by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at lumbar spine and femoral site. Vitamin D status has been checked by measuring 25(OH)D serum levels through HPLC. Surrogate bone formation and resorption markers (i.e. C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), respectively) were also evaluated. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) served to estimate the participants’ 10-year fracture risk for major osteoporotic and hip fracture.Results:88 postmenopausal osteoporotic women (age 61.14 ± 6.96 yr.) were included in the final analysis. The 10-year probability of major and hip fractures was 18.31±11.51 and 8.60 ± 10.55 %, respectively. Participants were exposed to ALE treatment for 31.27 ± 20.69 months; then they stopped treatment for 33.33 ± 18.97 months. Change of BMD was inversely related to drug holiday (r=-0.27, p=0.005). Modification of 25(OH)D was inversely associated with change of ALP (r=-0.22, p=0.018) and CTX levels (r=-0.3, p=0.06). By distributing participants in tertiles according to variation of 25(OH)D levels over time, women allocated in the tertile with the higher increase of 25(OH)D showed a 5.7% BMD gain that was two times larger in comparison with participants with lower increase of 25(OH)D. At a multiple regression analysis, after correcting for ALE treatment duration, bone turn-over marker modifications, BMI and age at menopause, BMD change at lumbar spine was significantly associated with time since menopause (ß=2.28, SE 0.44, p<0.0001), FRAX score (ß=-0.65, SE 0.29, p=0.03), drug holiday duration (ß=-2.17, SE 0.27, p<0.0001) and change of 25(OH)D levels (ß=0.15 SE 0.03, p=0.0007).Conclusion:After ALE discontinuation, modification of BMD are strictly associated with change of vitamin D status.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Understanding where and when the mass of stars is determined is one of the fundamental, mostly unsolved, questions in astronomy. Here, we present the first results of GASTON, the Galactic Star Formation with NIKA2 large programme on the IRAM 30m telescope, that aims to identify new populations of low-brightness sources to tackle the question of stellar mass determination across all masses. In this paper, we focus on the high-mass star formation part of the project, for which we map a ~ 2 deg2 region of the Galactic plane around l = 24° in both 1.2 mm and 2.0 mm continuum. Half-way through the project, we reach a sensitivity of 3.7 mJy/beam at 1.2mm. Even though larger than our target sensitivity of 2 mJy, the current sensitivity already allows the identification of a new population of cold, compact sources that remained undetected in any (sub-)mm Galactic plane survey so far. In fact, about 25% of the ~ 1600 compact sources identified in the 1.2mm GASTON image are new detections. We present a preliminary analysis of the physical properties of the GASTON sources as a function of their evolutionary stage, arguing for a potential evolution of the mass distribution of these sources with time.

Abstract
Clusters of galaxies are used to map the large-scale structures in the universe and as probe of universe evolution. They can be observed through the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect. In this respect the spectro-imaging at low resolution frequency is an important tool, today, for the study of cluster of galaxies. We have developed KISS (KIDs Interferometer Spectrum Survey), a spectrometric imager dedicated to the secondary anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The multi-frequency approach permits to improve the component separation with respect to predecessor experiments. In this paper, firstly, we provide a description of the scientific context and the state of the art of SZ observations. Secondly, we describe the KISS instrument. Finally, we show preliminary results of the ongoing commissioning campaign.

Abstract
The main limiting factor of cosmological analyses based on thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) cluster statistics comes from the bias and systematic uncertainties that affect the estimates of the mass of galaxy clusters. High-angular resolution SZ observations at high redshift are needed to study a potential redshift or morphology dependence of both the mean pressure profile and of the mass-observable scaling relation used in SZ cosmological analyses. The NIKA2 camera is a new generation continuum instrument installed at the IRAM 30-m telescope. With a large field of view, a high angular resolution and a high-sensitivity, the NIKA2 camera has unique SZ mapping capabilities. In this paper, we present the NIKA2 SZ large program, aiming at observing a large sample of clusters at redshifts between 0.5 and 0.9, and the characterization of the first cluster oberved with NIKA2.

Abstract
We present the results of the analysis of the very massive cluster MOO J1142+1527 at a redshift z = 1.2 based on high angular resolution NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) andChandraX-ray data. This multi-wavelength analysis enables us to estimate the shape of the temperature profile with unprecedented precision at this redshift and to obtain a map of the gas entropy distribution averaged along the line of sight. The comparison between the cluster morphological properties observed in the NIKA2 andChandramaps together with the analysis of the entropy map allows us to conclude that MOOJ1142+1527 is an on-going merger hosting a cool-core at the position of the X-ray peak. This work demonstrates how the addition of spatially-resolved SZ observations to low signal-to-noise X-ray data can bring valuable insights on the intracluster medium thermodynamic properties atz>1.

Abstract
The NIKA2 polarization channel at 260 GHz (1.15 mm) has been proposed primarily to observe galactic star-forming regions and probe the critical scales between 0.01-0.05 pc at which magnetic field lines may channel the matter of interstellar filaments into growing dense cores. The NIKA2 polarime-ter consists of a room temperature continuously rotating multi-mesh HWP and a cold polarizer that separates the two orthogonal polarizations onto two 260 GHz KIDs arrays. We describe in this paper the preliminary results obtained during the most recent commissioning campaign performed in December 2018. We concentrate here on the analysis of the extended sources, while the observation of compact sources is presented in a companion paper [12]. We present preliminary NIKA2 polarization maps of the Crab nebula. We find that the integrated polarization intensity flux measured by NIKA2 is consistent with expectations. In terms of polarization angle, we are still limited by systematic uncertainties that will be further investigated in the forthcoming commissioning campaigns.

Abstract
Clarifying the role of magnetic fields in the star formation process is crucial. Observations have already shown that magnetic fields play an important role in the early stages of star formation. The high spatial resolution (∼0.01 to 0.05 pc) provided by NIKA2-Pol 1.2 mm imaging polarimetry of nearby clouds will help us clarify the geometry of the B-field within dense cores and molecular filaments as part of the IRAM 30m large program B-FUN. There are numerous challenging issues in the validation of NIKA2-Pol such as the calibration of instrumental polarization. The commissioning phase of NIKA2-Pol is underway and is helping us characterize the intensity-to-polarization “leakage” pattern of the instrument. We present a preliminary analysis of the leakage pattern and its dependence with elevation. We also present the current leakage correction made possible by the NIKA2 pipeline in polarization mode based on the NIKA2-Pol commissioning data taken in December 2018. Based on reduced Stokes I, Q, U data we find that the leakage pattern of NIKA2-Pol depends on elevation and is sensitive to the focus of the telescope.

Abstract
The new NIKA2 camera at the IRAM 30m radiotelescope was used to observe three known debris disks in order to constrain the SED of their dust emission in the millimeter wavelength domain. We have found that the spectral index between the two NIKA2 bands (1mm and 2mm) is consistent with the Rayleigh-Jeans regime (λ-2), unlike the steeper spectra (λ-3) measured in the submillimeter-wavelength domain for two of the three disks - around the stars Vega and HD107146. We provide a succesful proof of concept to model this spectral inversion in using two populations of dust grains, those smaller and those larger than a grain radius a0 of 0.5mm. This is obtained in breaking the slope of the size distribution and the functional form of the absorption coefficient of the standard model. The third disk - around the star HR8799 - does not exhibit this spectral inversion but is also the youngest.

Abstract
The steps taken to tailor to NIKA2 observations the Scanamorphos algorithm (initially developed to subtract low-frequency noise from Herschel on-the-fly observations) are described, focussing on the consequences of the different instrument architecture and observation strategy. The method, making the most extensive use of the redundancy built in the multi-scan coverage with large arrays of a given region of the sky, is applicable to extended sources, while the pipeline is so far optimized for compact sources. An example of application is given. A related tool to build consistent broadband SEDs from 60 microns to 2 mm, combining Herschel and NIKA2 data, has also been developed. Its main task is to process the data least affected by low-frequency noise and coverage limitations (i.e. the Herschel data) through the same transfer function as the NIKA2 data, simulating the same scan geometry and applying the same noise and atmospheric signal as extracted from the 1mm and 2mm data.

Abstract
Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of bone fragility fractures compared to nondiabetic subjects. This increased fracture risk may occur despite normal or even increased values of bone mineral density (BMD), and poor bone quality is suggested to contribute to skeletal fragility in this population. These concepts explain why the only evaluation of BMD could not be considered an adequate tool for evaluating the risk of fracture in the individual T2DM patient. Unfortunately, nowadays, the bone quality could not be reliably evaluated in the routine clinical practice. On the other hand, getting further insight on the pathogenesis of T2DM-related bone fragility could consent to ameliorate both the detection of the patients at risk for fracture and their appropriate treatment. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the increased risk of fragility fractures in a T2DM population are complex. Indeed, in T2DM, bone health is negatively affected by several factors, such as inflammatory cytokines, muscle-derived hormones, incretins, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production and cortisol secretion, peripheral activation, and sensitivity. All these factors may alter bone formation and resorption, collagen formation, and bone marrow adiposity, ultimately leading to reduced bone strength. Additional factors such as hypoglycemia and the consequent increased propensity for falls and the direct effects on bone and mineral metabolism of certain antidiabetic medications may contribute to the increased fracture risk in this population. The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature evidence that faces the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying bone fragility in T2DM patients.

Abstract
We present here the polarization system of the NIKA camera and give a summary of the main results obtained and performed studies on Orion and the Crab nebula. The polarization system was equipped with a room temperature continuously rotating multi-mesh half wave plate and a grid polarizer facing the NIKA cryostat window. NIKA even though less sensitive than NIKA2 had polarization capability in both 1 and 2 millimiter bands. NIKA polarization observations demonstrated the ability of such a technology in detecting the polarization of different targets, compact and extended sources like the Crab nebula and Orion Molecular Cloud region OMC-1. These measurements together with the developed techniques to deal with systematics, opened the way to the current observations of NIKA2 in polarization that will provide important advances in the studies of galactic and extra-galactic emission and magnetic fields.

Abstract
Clusters of galaxies, the largest bound objects in the Universe, constitute a cosmological probe of choice, which is sensitive to both dark matter and dark energy. Within this framework, the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect has opened a new window for the detection of clusters of galaxies and for the characterization of their physical properties such as mass, pressure and temperature. NIKA, a KID-based dual band camera installed at the IRAM 30-m telescope, was particularly well adapted in terms of frequency, angular resolution, field-of-view and sensitivity, for the mapping of the thermal and kinetic SZ effect in high-redshift clusters. In this paper, we present the NIKA cluster sample and a review of the main results obtained via the measurement of the SZ effect on those clusters: reconstruction of the cluster radial pressure profile, mass, temperature and velocity.

Abstract
High-resolution mapping of the hot gas in galaxy clusters is a key tool for cluster-based cosmological analyses. Taking advantage of the NIKA2 millimeter camera operated at the IRAM 30-m telescope, the NIKA2 SZ Large Program seeks to get a high-resolution follow-up of 45 galaxy clusters covering a wide mass range at high redshift in order to re-calibrate some of the tools needed for the cosmological exploitation of SZ surveys. We present the second cluster analysis of this program, targeting one of the faintest sources of the sample in order to tackle the difficulties in data reduction for such faint, low-SNR clusters. In this study, the main challenge is the precise estimation of the contamination by sub-millimetric point sources, which greatly affects the tSZ map of the cluster. We account for this contamination by performing a joint fit of the SZ signal and of the flux density of the compact sources. A prior knowledge of these fluxes is given by the adjustment of the SED of each source using data from both NIKA2 and the Herschel satellite. The first results are very promising and demonstrate the possibility to estimate thermodynamic properties with NIKA2, even in a compact cluster heavily contaminated by point sources.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the last years, the mean age of women who underwent cervical treatment for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2-3) is similar to the age of women having their first pregnancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies after loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2013 to January 2016 the study identified a total of 1435 women, nulliparous, who underwent LEEP for CIN 2-3, and who wished to have their first pregnancy. Before surgery, the lengths of the cervix were calculated by transvaginal sonography. After the treatment, the dimension of the removed tissue was evaluated. During the pregnancy, all women carried out periodic transvaginal sonography and vaginal-cervical swabs. RESULTS The average age of patients was 31.96±5.24 years; the interval between the surgical procedure and pregnancy was 12.04±4.67 months; the gestational age at births was 37.53±2.91 weeks. The first vaginal and cervical swab performed during pregnancy was negative in 81.8% of patients. The most prevalent infections were related to C. Albicans, G. Vaginalis, and Group B Streptococcus (GBS). The rate of preterm delivery was significantly higher in women with a minor cervical length. CONCLUSIONS The length and the volume of cervical tissue excised have been shown to be directly related to the risk for preterm birth. Furthermore, vaginal infections and their persistence during pregnancy in women with a history of LEEP may be associated with an increased risk for preterm birth, compared with women with no history of LEEP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) represent the first-line adjuvant therapy for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (BC) women. AIs have been associated with an increased rate of fractures. The aim of our study was to investigate trabecular bone score (TBS) and bone quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements as bone quality surrogates in AIs users. METHODS Sixty postmenopausal BC women starting AIs and forty-two controls (mean age 61.64 ± 8.33 years) were considered. Bone mineral density (BMD) at lumbar spine and femoral neck and TBS were measured by DXA; QUS-derived Amplitude-Dependent Speed of Sound (AD-SoS), Bone Transmission Time (BTT), and Ultrasound Bone Profile Index (UBPI) were assessed at phalangeal site; morphometric vertebral fractures (Vfx) by X-ray, serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), and C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) were also evaluated. RESULTS After 18 months, changes of TBS vs baseline were significantly different between AIs group and controls [Δ TBS - 2.2% vs - 0.4%, respectively, p = 0.001]. AD-SoS, BTT and UBPI values decreased only in AIs' group (- 3.7%, - 6.45%, -8.5%, vs baseline, respectively, pall < 0.001). 3 Vfx occurred in AIs users and were associated with the greater TBS and AD-SoS modifications. In the AIs' group, ΔTBS was associated with ΔAD-SoS (r = 0.58, p < 0.001) and ΔUBPI (r = 0.415, p = 0.001), but not with ΔBMD. Moreover, ΔTBS was independently predicted by ΔAD-SoS, after correcting for BMD, CTX and BSAP level changes (β = 0.37, SE = 2.44, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS TBS and phalangeal QUS provide useful information related to bone quality in AI-treated BC survivors and could be considered for fracture risk evaluation.

Abstract
Disorders of calcium metabolism are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Hypocalcemia accounted for 27.72% and hypercalcemia for 4.74% of inpatients. Incidence of hypo- and hypercalcemia changed over time.
Disorders of calcium metabolism are frequently encountered in routine clinical practice. However limited data are available on the epidemiology of hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency of hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients. This is a retrospective study based on the laboratory results of all hospitalized subjects (n = 12,334) whose calcemia was determined between January 1st, 2011 and December 31st, 2014. Measurements of serum calcium were carried out by a single centralized laboratory. Hypocalcemia was defined as serum calcium levels <8.2 mg/dl and hypercalcemia as serum calcium levels >10.4 mg/dl. Albumin correction was applied to adjust serum calcium values. Overall, hypocalcemia accounted for 27.72% (n = 3420) and hypercalcemia for 4.74% (n = 585) of the 12,334 inpatients. The highest prevalence of hypocalcemia was found in patients over 65 yr. (n = 2097, 61.31%) vs. younger subjects, while the highest prevalence of hypercalcemia was observed in patients aged 0–18 yr. (n = 380, 64.95%). Hypocalcemia was more often encountered in males (n = 1952, 57.07%) while no gender differences were found regarding hypercalcemia. Incidence of hypocalcemia changed over time varying from 35.42% (n = 1061) in 2011 to 21.93% (n = 672) in 2014 (r = −0.98; p = 0.01). Differently, incidence of hypercalcemia did not significantly increase significantly from 3.47% (n = 104) in 2011 to 6.92% (n = 211) in 2014 (r = 0.94; p = 0.052). Despite increased awareness about electrolytes disturbance, physicians should consider calcium levels because of life-threatening consequences associated to hypo- and hypercalcemia. Patient’s gender and age could be associated to a different risk of calcium disturbance in hospitalized patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Denosumab has been proven to reduce fracture risk in breast cancer (BC) women under aromatase inhibitors (AIs). Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) provides information on the structure and elastic properties of bone. Our aim was to assess bone health by phalangeal QUS and by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and to evaluate bone turnover in AIs-treated BC women receiving denosumab. METHODS 35 Postmenopausal BC women on AIs were recruited (mean age 61.2 ± 4.5 years) and treated with denosumab 60 mg administered subcutaneously every 6 months. Phalangeal QUS parameters [Amplitude Dependent Speed of Sound (AD-SoS), Ultrasound Bone Profile Index (UBPI), Bone Transmission Time (BTT)] and DXA at lumbar spine and femoral neck were performed. Serum C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) were also measured. The main outcomes were compared with a control group not receiving denosumab (n = 39). RESULTS In patients treated with denosumab, differently from controls, QUS and DXA measurements improved after 24 months, and a reduction of CTX and BSAP was detected at 12 and 24 months in comparison to baseline (P < 0.05). The percent changes (Δ) of QUS measurements were significantly associated with ΔBMD at femoral neck, and ΔCTX and ΔBSAP were associated with ΔBMD at lumbar spine (r = -0.39, P = 0.02; r = -0.49, P = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Denosumab preserves bone health as assessed by phalangeal QUS and DXA. Since inexpensive and radiation-free, phalangeal QUS may be considered in the follow-up of AIs-treated BC women receiving denosumab.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive muscle disease characterized by secondary osteoporosis and increased fractures. We describe the case of a 20-year-old boy with DMD suffering from back pain due to multiple vertebral fractures who was treated with teriparatide. Improvement of bone density, pain, and quality of life was achieved. DMD is an X-linked recessive muscle disease with secondary osteoporosis and related frequently occurring fractures. To date, only bisphosphonates have been used to treat osteoporosis in DMD. Black bear parathyroid hormone has been previously reported to enhance bone mass in the dystrophin-deficient mouse. This study reports the positive effect of osteoanabolic treatment with once-daily recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (rhPTH 1-34, teriparatide) in a 20-year-old DMD boy suffering from multiple vertebral fractures causing back pain. Bone formation and resorption markers (osteocalcin and C-telopeptide of type I collagen, respectively), as expected, increased within 6 months and intensity of back pain early decreased, with no pain reported after 6 months at visual analog scale. Over a 18-month period of treatment with teriparatide, bone mineral density and quality of life, assessed by the 36-item short-form questionnaire, considerably improved and no side effects were reported. Further studies on large cohorts are warranted to test the efficacy of this promising treatment for DMD related osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The incidence of abnormal cervical cytology in pregnancy is similar to that reported for non-pregnant women. Furthermore, 1% of pregnant women annually screened for cervical cancer will be diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) of various degrees. For this reason, Pap smear should be performed in the first trimester of pregnancy. The persistence of HR-HPV infection is related to the development of CIN. However, the relationship between CIN and HR-HPV infection during pregnancy and postpartum can hardly be found. The aim of this work was to assess the proper management of abnormal cytology during and after pregnancy evaluating regression rate, persistence rate and risk of progression and the predictive role of HPV molecular tests. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with abnormal cervical cytology were followed-up using colposcopy and colposcopy-directed biopsies every 12 weeks. Molecular tests were performed at the moment of the cytological diagnosis. Patients not treated in pregnancy were re-evaluated with cytology, colposcopy, biopsies, HPV-DNA test and HPV-mRNA test for a final diagnosis 8 weeks postpartum. Women with a persistent CIN 2-3 lesion at this follow-up check, underwent an excisional procedure by LEEP and then re-evaluated every 6 months for a year. RESULTS HPV-DNA test showed a sensitivity of 90.5% and a negative predictive value of 96.4%. Specificity and positive predictive values were 67.9% and 43.2%, respectively. For HPV-mRNA test, a sensitivity of 76.2% and a NPV of 93.9% were found; specificity and PPV were 98.7% and 94.1% respectively. CONCLUSIONS An observational management based on the use of molecular test and particularly HPV-mRNA test for its higher specificity, is a reasonable possibility in the follow-up of CIN2/3 lesions during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The increased use of the intrauterine contraception (IUC) in female population and its probable relationship with cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions and cervical cancer make necessary clarify the possible interaction between the device and the pre-neoplastic lesions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven hundred and eighty-nine patients users of IUC and 1491 patients ever users of IUC were followed every 6 months for 3 years. Each clinical control included Papanicolau test, colposcopy, HPV-DNA test and HPV-mRNA test. Also, in patients IUC users we analyzed the type of device, years of use and average age. RESULTS Cytological sampling, histological examination, HPV-DNA test and HPV-mRNA test showed that there are not significantly differences between patients with or without IUC. CONCLUSIONS None difference arose regarding persistence and progression between patients IUC users and IUC no users, for this reason, intrauterine contraception does not seem to be a co-causal factor in the possible development of cervical cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Uterine sarcomas are rare and aggressive tumors. In some cases they can cause rupture of the uterus with or without clinical and radiological symptoms. Therefore, it is important to observe patients with clinical and/or radiological suspicion of sarcoma, even when there are no clinical manifestations. CASE REPORT A 71-year old woman, who was under the authors' observation for pain in the right iliac fossa. The US and the CT scan showed an abdominal-pelvic mass.Laboratory tests showed a slight but progressive reduction of haemoglobin, which could not be explained by the clinical symptoms and by the results of the imaging tests. During the surgical intervention, a small amount of peritoneal fluid, an increased uterine volume, and a subverted anatomy were observed A haematoma was found in the uterus and this could explain the progressive reduction of haemoglobin and the very low presence of peritoneal effusion. CONCLUSION The rupture of the uterus could not have been suspected as the patient did not have any type of symptoms, except for the slow and progressive reduction in the haemoglobin value. Therefore, it is important to observe patients with clinical and/or radiological suspicion of sarcoma, even when there are no clinical manifestations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vitamin D deficiency is widespread and often reported in subjects treated for osteoporosis. Optimal vitamin D repletion was previously shown to maximize the efficacy of anti-resorptive agents. To date, no information exists about the role of vitamin D in the response to strontium ranelate (SrR) treatment. The aim of our study was to investigate the BMD response to SrR in accordance with change of vitamin D status. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 108 women receiving SrR for postmenopausal osteoporosis was carried out. Women were treated with SrR (2 g/day), with cholecalciferol (25,000 IU biweekly) and calcium carbonate as appropriate. Lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD, bone formation markers (BGP, ALP), resorption marker (OH-PRO) and serum 25(OH)D were measured at baseline after 18-months. All participants were divided into two groups according to the median variation of 25(OH)D over the observation period. RESULTS SrR was associated with improvement of BMD at lumbar spine (p < 0.0001) and to a non significant variation at femoral neck (p = 0.2). Only subjects with Δ25(OH)D > 6.14 %, reported a significant BMD gain at femoral neck (p = 0.03). Change of BMD at femoral neck was positively associated with modification of ALP (r = 0.28, p = 0.01). This association was not maintained when considering only women with Δ25(OH)D < 6.14 % (r = 0.28, p = 0.09). At a multiple regression analysis, ALP change was the only predictor of femoral neck BMD modification (β 0.13; SE 0.05; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Improvement of vitamin D status was associated with enhancement of BMD response to SrR in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, in particular, at femoral neck.

Abstract
We report the results of a joint analysis of data from BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck. BICEP2 and Keck Array have observed the same approximately 400 deg^{2} patch of sky centered on RA 0 h, Dec. -57.5°. The combined maps reach a depth of 57 nK deg in Stokes Q and U in a band centered at 150 GHz. Planck has observed the full sky in polarization at seven frequencies from 30 to 353 GHz, but much less deeply in any given region (1.2 μK deg in Q and U at 143 GHz). We detect 150×353 cross-correlation in B modes at high significance. We fit the single- and cross-frequency power spectra at frequencies ≥150 GHz to a lensed-ΛCDM model that includes dust and a possible contribution from inflationary gravitational waves (as parametrized by the tensor-to-scalar ratio r), using a prior on the frequency spectral behavior of polarized dust emission from previous Planck analysis of other regions of the sky. We find strong evidence for dust and no statistically significant evidence for tensor modes. We probe various model variations and extensions, including adding a synchrotron component in combination with lower frequency data, and find that these make little difference to the r constraint. Finally, we present an alternative analysis which is similar to a map-based cleaning of the dust contribution, and show that this gives similar constraints. The final result is expressed as a likelihood curve for r, and yields an upper limit r_{0.05}<0.12 at 95% confidence. Marginalizing over dust and r, lensing B modes are detected at 7.0σ significance.
