We respond to Dr. Acierno's concerns about the measurement of elder mistreatment and social support in the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. We made our analytic decisions carefully and conducted systematic robustness checks and believe our findings are theoretically important.

Background: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a bone inflammatory disorder characterized by osteolytic, usually multiple, symmetric lesions. Diagnosis is one of exclusion, and no standardized therapies are available. Presumed deregulation of the interleukin (IL)-1β axis, as observed in 2 monogenic autoinflammatory conditions such as Majeed syndrome (LPIN2 mutations) and deficiency of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN mutations) with CRMO-like bone involvement, suggests the blockade of IL-1 as potentially useful also in this condition, even if scarce data are available.

In this paper, we study the effect of the addition of wood flour as a filler in a recycled polyethylene (r-PE) in view of its potential applications in 3D printing. The composites, prepared by melt mixing, are characterized with torque measurements performed during the compounding, dynamic rotational rheology, and infrared spectroscopy. Data show that the introduction of wood results in increased viscosity and in sensible viscous heating during the compounding.

In this work, a novel concept is introduced in drug-eluting fibres to ensure a good control of drug delivery features and wide applicability to different bioactive compounds. Composite bioactive sutures based on fibre grade poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and loaded with the anti-inflammatory drug Diclofenac (Dic) or a Dic nanohybrid where the drug is intercalated in a synthetic hydrotalcite (Mg/Al hydroxycarbonate) (HT-Dic) were developed. Fibres were prepared by melt-spinning at different PCL/HT-Dic/Dic ratios and analysed in terms of morphology, mechanical properties and drug release features.
