From January 2010 to January 2017, 81 complete flexor digitorum profundus tendon disruptions in Zones 2B and 2C were treated using the modified Mantero technique. The patients were re-examined at a mean of 62 months (range 30-96) after operation. We analysed outcomes against ages, gender, pulley integrity, associated injuries and follow-up times. The median total range of motion of both interphalangeal joints, distal interphalangeal joint alone and Quick DASH scores were significantly better for the group with pulley vented versus no pulley vented. According to the Strickland and Glogovac criteria, 76 (91%) had excellent or good, five fair and none had poor results. There were no complications except for one deep and one superficial infection at the site of the injury. There were no tendon ruptures and only three patients (3.7%) required secondary tenolysis. The modified Mantero repair is recommended as an alternative in the repair of tendon disruptions in Zone 2B and 2C. The good results and absence of ruptures suggest that the tendon healing and strength of repair are adequate for immediate postoperative motion.: IV.

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are complex and heterogeneous diseases. The use of traditional diagnostic classification in ILD can lead to suboptimal management, which is worsened by not considering the molecular pathways, biological complexity, and disease phenotypes. The identification of specific "treatable traits" in ILDs, which are clinically relevant and modifiable disease characteristics, may improve patient's outcomes.

Background And Purpose: Clinical outcomes of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been thoroughly investigated, but a further analysis on main signs and symptoms and their risk factors still needs attention. The objective of this study was to group together and describe based on similarity the most common signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in MS patients and identify all factors associated with their manifestation.
Method: Logistic and linear regression models were run to recognize factors associated with each pooled group of symptoms and their total number.

COVID-19 spread in two pandemic waves in Italy between 2020 and 2021. The aim of this study is to compare the first with the second COVID-19 wave, analyzing modifiable and non-modifiable factors and how these factors affected mortality in patients hospitalized in Internal Medicine wards. Consecutive patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and dyspnea requiring O supplementation were included.

DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine (5mC)) is critical for genome stability and transcriptional regulation in mammals. The discovery that ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins catalyze the oxidation of 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) revolutionized our perspective on the complexity and regulation of DNA modifications. However, to what extent the regulatory functions of TET1 can be attributed to its catalytic activity remains unclear.
