Abstract
PURPOSE The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 months of rhPTH (1-84) (Natpar®) treatment in a cohort of patients selected according to the indications of hypoparathyroidism guidelines. The use of recombinant human PTH (1-84) [rhPTH (1-84)] is approved as hormonal replacement therapy in patients with hypoparathyroidism not adequately controlled with conventional therapy. METHODS It is a multicenter, observational, retro-prospective, open label study. Eleven Italian Endocrinological centers, members of Hypoparathyroidism Working Group of the Italian Society of Endocrinology (HypoparaNET) were involved. Main outcome measures were serum and urinary calcium and phosphate concentration, calcium-phosphate product, renal function, oral calcium and vitamin D doses, and clinical manifestations. RESULTS Fourteen adult subjects, affected by chronic hypoparathyroidism, were treated with rhPTH (1-84) for 12 months. At 12 months of rhPTH (1-84) treatment, 61.5% of patients discontinued calcium supplement and 69.2% calcitriol. Mean albumin-adjusted total serum calcium levels quickly normalized after initiation of rhPTH (1-84) treatment compared to baseline (p = 0.009), remaining in the normal range until 12 months. Rare hypo-hypercalcemia episodes were reported. Renal function was maintained normal and no renal complications were reported. Serum and urinary phosphate and urinary calcium were maintained in the normal range. Mean phosphatemia levels linearly decreased from 3 months up to 12 months compared to baseline (p = 0.014). No severe adverse events were described. CONCLUSIONS Biochemical and clinical results confirm the efficacy and safety of rhPTH (1-84) therapy, which represents an important option for hypoparathyroid patients unresponsive to conventional therapy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We analyzed polymorphism of the ALPL gene in patients with low serum levels of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). The presence of three or more of the less frequent alleles of ALPL polymorphisms was associated with significantly lower TNAP serum level and higher frequencies of metatarsal fractures, which may help confirm a clinical suspicion of adult hypophosphatasia. INTRODUCTION Alkaline phosphatases (ALPs) are membrane-bound enzymes that hydrolyze monophosphate esters at a high pH (pH 8-10). Inorganic pyrophosphate, pyridoxal 5-phosphate, the activated form of vitamin B6 (PLP), and phosphoethanolamine (PEA), are natural substrates of ALPs. Hypophosphatasia (HPP, OMIM 146300, 241500, 241510) is a heterogeneous rare metabolic bone disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase gene (ALPL; MIM 171760) with a deficiency of TNAP. Clinical presentation of HPP in adults demonstrated a wide range of manifestations, many of which are nonspecific. In the present study, we screened the polymorphic genetic variants of ALPL in 56 subjects presenting low serum levels of TNAP and/or other clinical signs of adult HPP in order to evaluate a possible role of polymorphic variants in the diagnosis and management of HPP in adults. METHODS Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and ALPL gene was sequenced by PCR-based Sanger technique. RESULTS Fourteen different polymorphic variants were found in the study population. A lower serum level of TNAP and higher frequencies of metatarsal fractures were observed in patients bearing three or more of the minor frequency alleles (MFAs) of the ALPL polymorphic variants. The presence of some MFAs, mostly as a contemporary presence of three or more of them, was found to be mainly represented in patients having both a significantly lower level of TNAP and a higher level of vitamin B6. CONCLUSION The genetic analysis and presence of some polymorphic variants may be an instrument to confirm clinical and biochemical data, consider adult HPP, and help clinicians be cautious in the administration of anti-reabsorption drugs.

Abstract
AIMS In 2018, we published early results from a cohort of patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) after previous radiotherapy with definitive or postoperative intent. We sought to provide extended follow-up of this cohort to confirm the safety and efficacy of this approach in a real-world scenario. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty patients affected by local relapse after previous definitive or postoperative radiotherapy were treated with SBRT. Treatment provided a total dose of 30 Gy in five fractions. Data about biochemical relapse-free survival (BRFS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS), together with adverse events, were analysed. Toxicity was reported according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) score v.4.03. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 48.2 months, the median BRFS was 43 months. A Gleason score >7 and concomitant androgen deprivation therapy were shown to be predictors of the worst BRFS (hazard ratio 2.42, 95% confidence interval 1.09-5.41, P = 0.02; hazard ratio 2.83, 95% confidence interval 1.17-6.8, P = 0.02, respectively). The median MFS was not reached; concomitant androgen deprivation therapy was confirmed to be predictive of the worst MFS (hazard ratio 4.75, 95% confidence interval 1.52-14.8, P = 0.007). Late grade 1 and 2 rectal and bladder toxicity occurred in three (6%) and 13 (26%) patients, respectively. One patient experienced both grade 3 acute and chronic bladder toxicity. CONCLUSION Salvage SBRT re-irradiation after previous postoperative or definitive radiotherapy for local prostate cancer recurrence confirmed promising results in terms of oncological outcomes and the safety of this approach.

Abstract
We report the experimental realization of a new kind of optical lattice for ultracold atoms where arbitrarily large separation between the sites can be achieved without renouncing to the stability of ordinary lattices. Two collinear lasers, with slightly different commensurate wavelengths and retroreflected on a mirror, generate a superlattice potential with a periodic "beat-note" profile where the regions with large amplitude modulation provide the effective potential minima for the atoms. To prove the analogy with a standard large spacing optical lattice we study Bloch oscillations of a Bose Einstein condensate with negligible interactions in the presence of a small force. The observed dynamics between sites separated by ten microns for times exceeding one second proves the high stability of the potential. This novel lattice is the ideal candidate for the coherent manipulation of atomic samples at large spatial separations and might find direct application in atom-based technologies like trapped-atom interferometers and quantum simulators.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone tissue represents a large systemic compartment of the human body, with an active metabolism, that controls mineral deposition and removal, and where several factors may play a role. For these reasons, several non-skeletal diseases may influence bone metabolism. It is of a crucial importance to classify these disorders in order to facilitate diagnosis and clinical management. This article reports a taxonomic classification of non-skeletal rare congenital disorders, which have an impact on bone metabolism METHODS: The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) Skeletal Rare Diseases Working Group (SRD-WG), comprised of basic and clinical scientists, has decided to review the taxonomy of non-skeletal rare disorders that may alter bone physiology. RESULTS The taxonomy of non-skeletal rare congenital disorders which impact bone comprises a total of 6 groups of disorders that may influence the activity of bone cells or the characteristics of bone matrix. CONCLUSIONS This paper provides the first comprehensive taxonomy of non-skeletal rare congenital disorders with impact on bone physiology.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Urothelial cancer is one of the most common malignancies; after relapse or disease progression available therapeutic options are limited. We analyze efficacy and toxicity of local treatment on metastases using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in selected patients with oligometastatic disease from urothelial cancer. A significant percentage of treated lesions achieved local control, with a promising overall response rate. OBJECTIVES to analyze efficacy and toxicity of local treatment on metastases using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in selected patients with oligometastatic disease from urothelial cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from clinical records of 19 patients treated in our institution since May 2011 to October 2017 with SBRT for oligometastatic/oligoprogressive urothelial carcinoma were retrospectively collected. Clinical outcomes in terms of local control (LC), response rate, symptoms control, progression free and overall survival (PFS and OS), and adverse events were analyzed and reported. RESULTS Nineteen patients were treated on 25 metastatic lesions; 5 of them received treatment on multiple sites. After an average follow up of 11.5 months, LC was achieved in 17 lesions (68%) and there was no local recurrence in lesions with complete or partial response. OS was 13.8 months. Adverse events were reported only in 3 patients (5 overall events). No late toxicity was reported. CONCLUSIONS An approach consisting in SBRT for local treatment of oligometastatic or persistent disease can be effective and safe in selected patients. Prospective studies are needed, to find correct selection criteria and optimal dose and fractionation.

Abstract
A cause of hypophosphatemia is phosphate wasting disorders. Knowledge concerning mechanisms involved in phosphate wasting disorders has greatly increased in the last decade by the identification of phosphatonins, among them FGF-23. FGF-23 is a primarily bone derived factor decreasing renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and the synthesis of calcitriol. Currently, pharmacological treatment of these disorders offers limited efficacy and is potentially associated to gastrointestinal, renal, and parathyroid complications; therefore, efforts have been directed toward newer pharmacological strategies that target the FGF-23 pathway. This review focuses on phosphate metabolism, its main regulators, and phosphate wasting disorders in adults, highlighting the main issues related to diagnosis and current and new potential treatments.

Abstract
Self-bound quantum droplets are a newly discovered phase in the context of ultracold atoms. In this Letter, we report their experimental realization following the original proposal by Petrov [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 155302 (2015)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.115.155302], using an attractive bosonic mixture. In this system, spherical droplets form due to the balance of competing attractive and repulsive forces, provided by the mean-field energy close to the collapse threshold and the first-order correction due to quantum fluctuations. Thanks to an optical levitating potential with negligible residual confinement, we observe self-bound droplets in free space, and we characterize the conditions for their formation as well as their size and composition. This work sets the stage for future studies on quantum droplets, from the measurement of their peculiar excitation spectrum to the exploration of their superfluid nature.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To develop consensus on improving the management of patients, we convened an international workshop involving patients, clinicians, and researchers. Key findings included the diagnostic delay and variability in subsequent management with agreement to develop an international natural history study. We now invite other stakeholders to join the partnership. PURPOSE The aim of this study was develop a consensus on how to improve the management of patients with fibrous dysplasia and prioritize areas for research METHODS: An international workshop was held over 3 days involving patients, clinicians, and researchers. Each day had a combination of formal presentations and facilitated discussions that focused on clinical pathways and research. RESULTS The patient workshop day highlighted the variability of patients' experience in getting a diagnosis, the knowledge of general clinical staff, and understanding long-term outcomes. The research workshop prioritized collaborations that improved understanding of the contemporary natural history of fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS). The clinical workshop outlined the key issues around diagnostics, assessment of severity, treatment and monitoring of patients. CONCLUSIONS In spite of advances in understanding the genetic and molecular underpinnings of fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome, clinical management remains a challenge. From the workshop, a consensus was reached to create an international, multi-stakeholder partnership to advance research and clinical care in FD/MAS. We invite other stakeholders to join the partnership.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This article reports a taxonomic classification of rare skeletal diseases based on metabolic phenotypes. It was prepared by The Skeletal Rare Diseases Working Group of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and includes 116 OMIM phenotypes with 86 affected genes. INTRODUCTION Rare skeletal metabolic diseases comprise a group of diseases commonly associated with severe clinical consequences. In recent years, the description of the clinical phenotypes and radiographic features of several genetic bone disorders was paralleled by the discovery of key molecular pathways involved in the regulation of bone and mineral metabolism. Including this information in the description and classification of rare skeletal diseases may improve the recognition and management of affected patients. METHODS IOF recognized this need and formed a Skeletal Rare Diseases Working Group (SRD-WG) of basic and clinical scientists who developed a taxonomy of rare skeletal diseases based on their metabolic pathogenesis. RESULTS This taxonomy of rare genetic metabolic bone disorders (RGMBDs) comprises 116 OMIM phenotypes, with 86 affected genes related to bone and mineral homeostasis. The diseases were divided into four major groups, namely, disorders due to altered osteoclast, osteoblast, or osteocyte activity; disorders due to altered bone matrix proteins; disorders due to altered bone microenvironmental regulators; and disorders due to deranged calciotropic hormonal activity. CONCLUSIONS This article provides the first comprehensive taxonomy of rare metabolic skeletal diseases based on deranged metabolic activity. This classification will help in the development of common and shared diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for these patients and also in the creation of international registries of rare skeletal diseases, the first step for the development of genetic tests based on next generation sequencing and for performing large intervention trials to assess efficacy of orphan drugs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report a clinical experience of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for isolated recurrence in the prostatic bed from prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between November 2011 and November 2013, 16 patients were treated with SBRT for a macroscopic isolated recurrence of prostate cancer in the prostatic bed. All patients were initially treated with radical prostatectomy, and half of them also received radiotherapy. Two schedules of SBRT were used: 30 Gy in 5 fractions in previously irradiated patients, 35 Gy in five fractions in radiotherapy-naïve patients. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 10 months (range 2-21 months), a significant biochemical response was found in all but one patient. At imaging evaluation, no local progression was noted: 10 patients showed partial response while four stable disease. At the moment of analysis, all 16 patients were alive. Seven of them experienced distant relapse, while nine maintained biochemical control, with no further therapy. Median time to relapse was 9.3 months (range 3-15.2 months). The treatment was well tolerated: One patient experienced G2 acute genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Our experience shows that SBRT with CyberKnife for isolated nodal relapse is a safe and well-tolerated treatment.

Abstract
Human disorders of phosphate (Pi) handling and skeletal mineralization represent a group of rare bone diseases. One of these disease is tumoral calcinosis (TC). In this study, we present the case of a patient with TC with a new GALNT3 gene mutation. We also performed functional studies using an in vitro cellular model. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood collected from a teenage Caucasian girl affected by TC, and from her parents. A higher capability to form mineralization nodules in vitro was found in human preosteoblastic cells of mutant when compared to wild-type controls. We found a novel homozygous inactivating splice site mutation in intron I (c.516-2a>g). A higher capability to form mineralization nodules in vitro was found in the mutant cells in human preosteoblastic cells when compared to wild-type controls. Understanding the functional significance and molecular physiology of this novel mutation will help to define the role of FGF23 in the control of Pi homeostasis in normal and in pathological conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Rare endocrine-metabolic diseases (REMD) represent an important area in the field of medicine and pharmacology. The rare diseases of interest to endocrinologists involve all fields of endocrinology, including rare diseases of the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands, paraganglia, ovary and testis, disorders of bone and mineral metabolism, energy and lipid metabolism, water metabolism, and syndromes with possible involvement of multiple endocrine glands, and neuroendocrine tumors. Taking advantage of the constitution of a study group on REMD within the Italian Society of Endocrinology, consisting of basic and clinical scientists, a document on the taxonomy of REMD has been produced. METHODS AND RESULTS This document has been designed to include mainly REMD manifesting or persisting into adulthood. The taxonomy of REMD of the adult comprises a total of 166 main disorders, 338 including all variants and subtypes, described into 11 tables. CONCLUSIONS This report provides a complete taxonomy to classify REMD of the adult. In the future, the creation of registries of rare endocrine diseases to collect data on cohorts of patients and the development of common and standardized diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for each rare endocrine disease is advisable. This will help planning and performing intervention studies in larger groups of patients to prove the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of a specific treatment.
