Abstract Background Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare disease with limited data on outcomes after transplantation. Methods In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we describe the of kidney transplant patients AAV transplanted at our institute from February 2006 to January 2022. Results We identified 9 among 1026 pre-transplant diagnosis AAV; all had received previous treatment cyclophosphamide. Maintenance immunosuppression...
We report on the experimental demonstration of a fiber laser array composed by 7-elements coherently combined to obtain total power up 10kW. The architecture is based narrow line single mode master oscillator whose emission modulated widen linewidth 47 GHz. large-linewidth seed then split in multiple replicas that can be amplified 2kW each. Then, hexagonal collimated beams realized means custom opto-mechanical tiled aperture structure. Finally, are overlapped an optical system and...
The Cloud and Aerosol Lidar for Global Scale Observations of the Ocean-Land-Atmosphere System (CALIGOLA) is an advanced multi-purpose space lidar mission with a focus on atmospheric oceanic observation aimed at characterizing Ocean-Earth-Atmosphere system mutual interactions within it. This has been conceived by Italian Space Agency (ASI) aim to provide international ocean science communities unprecedented dataset geophysical parameters capable increase scientific knowledge in areas...
Abstract Background Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a relevant cardiovascular (CV) risk. Vascular calcification, particularly at coronary levels, been related to the increased CV mortality. Few data are available on long-term behavior of artery calcifications (CAC) in transplantation (KTx). In previous paper (Alfieri C et al. Sci Rep. 2019 May 3;9(1):6869), our group explored prevalence, clinical and biochemical factors CAC implicated progression 64 KTx patients (KTXps)...
The Multidisciplinary Tumor Board (MTB) is a collaborative platform involving specialists in oncology, surgery, radiology, pathology, and radiotherapy, aims to optimize diagnostics treatments. Despite MTB's widespread benefits, limited literature addresses its application pediatric neuro-oncology. After revision on neuro-oncology MTB, our study describes institute's focuses evaluating impact the neuroradiologist's role patient-centric approaches, considering recent genetic insights into brain tumors.
Learning point for cliniciansThis case points on the need a complete evaluation in differential diagnosis of hypokalemia always extended to genetically determined tubulopathies, since Gitelman and Bartter type III syndromes can be underdiagnosed at first symptoms presentation.
Kidney transplant recipients are a vulnerable population at risk of life-threatening COVID-19 infection with an incidence death four-times higher than in the general population. The availability mRNA vaccines has dramatically changed fate this also within fragile Transplanted patients have impaired immunological response to vaccines. In March 2021, however, we started vaccination campaign. These preliminary results show that both and hospitalization dropped from 13% 2.4% 45% 12.5% compared...
Abstract Background and Aims Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are challenging systemic diseases. Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with AAV end stage kidney disease.[1] relapses after rare data regarding recurrences in this setting lacking.[2] Method In single-centre retrospective cohort study, we analyzed from medical records adult transplanted at our transplant Center between February 2006 January 2022 followed Nephrology...
The multi-sensor, high accuracy, 4 axes gyro-stabilised turret system (LEOSS-T) designed by LEONARDO SPA - Electronics Division for airborne surveillance applications has been transformed in a 3kW Power Laser Effector substituting one of the sensor with Optical Head 3 kW single mode IPG Fiber Laser. Inside LASER Facility, we demonstrated that LEOSS is able to: detect and track micro drone; determine maintain aim point time necessary to obtain desired effect on target. Drone Dazzling...
<p>The Italian space industry, and specifically Leonardo S.p.A., has gained unique skills at an international level in the development of space-qualified power laser sources with for lidar Earth observation applications (Aeolus, EarthCARE). Moreover, S.p.A. optical a consolidated technical-scientific knowledge experience design receiver sub-systems (telescopes, devices sensors)  space applications. The Space Agency (ASI) intends to benefit from long-term expertise...
Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS COVID-19 is a life-threatening infection among elderly, comorbid patients or transplanted patients. In our recently published paper (Campise, M.; Alfieri, C.M.; et al. Pathogens 2021, 10, 964), we described single Centre experience with 82 adult kidney-transplant (KTxp) during the previous two pandemic outbreaks: 27 KTxp (first outbreak) and 65 (second). We observed relatively low possibly underestimated incidence of (5.1%) death almost four times higher than in...
Coherent beam combining techniques aim to obtain high-power laser beams with good quality and thus enabling several specific applications such as long-range communications, remote power delivering or L-DEW applications. They have received a renewed interest given the very performances obtainable high fiber lasers adopting MOPA architectures phase locking feedback loops. In case of lasers, single amplifier is limited by deleterious effect SBS. One can enhance threshold SBS widening bandwidth...
