The study objectives were to illustrate our workflow for lung donation and transplantation during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 crisis and to report our preliminary experience with perioperative care.

We retrospectively analyzed data in the China Lung Transplantation Registration from January 23, 2020, to March 23, 2020 (2020 cohort), compared with the same period in 2019 (2019 cohort). Pre- and post-lung transplantation management strategies, including measures aiming to prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, were applied to all recipients, including 5 post-Coronavirus Disease 2019 transplants during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic period in China.

Twenty-eight lung transplant procedures were performed, including lung transplant for 5 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to Coronavirus Disease 2019-related pulmonary fibrosis. Compared with the 2019 cohort, more patients with urgent conditions received transplantation in 2020, with a shorter pre-lung tra not compromised during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak. Plinabulin research buy Lung transplantion can be regarded as salvage therapy for critical patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 with a confirmed positive turned negative virology status.

Lung transplant and donation amid Coronavirus Disease 2019 can be performed safely with coordinated efforts on medical resource sharing and medical staff protection based on stratification of the infection risk. Outcomes were not compromised during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak. Lung transplantion can be regarded as salvage therapy for critical patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 with a confirmed positive turned negative virology status.The delineation and characterization of splenic lesions and other abnormalities can be challenging on computed tomography. Many splenic lesions are incidentally found, imaging features tend to overlap, and without the appropriate clinical context, differentials can range from benign to malignant. Radiologists should be familiar with the wide variety of pathologies seen on computed tomography as it is often the first imaging modality a splenic lesion is seen. The purpose of this MDCT-focused review is to understand normal splenic anatomy and its variants, to illustrate and describe typical and atypical imaging patters of inflammatory, infectious, vascular, traumatic, benign, and malignant tumors of the spleen and provide clues in reaching the appropriate differential diagnosis and management.The recently published 5th edition 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours of the Digestive System brings significant changes from the 2010 4th edition. An emphasis on uniformity in nomenclature and grading for tumours across all organ systems is a particular feature of the 5th edition blue book series that is reflected in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) classification. For example, simplified two tiered grading is reinforced for preinvasive lesions throughout the GIT, with dysplasia at all sites now being considered either low or high grade. Similarly, a uniform approach to classification and grading of GIT neuroendocrine neoplasms has been consolidated, with an emphasis on distinguishing grade 3 neuroendocrine tumours from neuroendocrine carcinomas. In this review, we discuss and critically assess the important and sometimes controversial changes made to the classification of tumours of the lower GIT, comprising the colorectum, vermiform appendix and anal canal. The particularly controversial decision to endorse the term 'sessile serrated lesion' for lesions previously termed 'sessile serrated polyp/adenoma' is explored. The morphological, molecular, and clinical insights behind the substitution of the term 'goblet cell adenocarcinoma' for 'goblet cell carcinoid' are assessed. The evolution of the classification of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms is considered. Inflammatory bowel disease related dysplasia and its evolving subtypes, with major implications for pathologists in routine practice, is explained.Angiomyolipoma is the prototype of renal perivascular epithelioid cell (PEC) lesions whose pathogenesis is determined by mutations affecting TSC genes, with eventual deregulation of the mTOR pathway. It is well known that mTOR complex protein is involved in autophagy, and recently the role of STING in this process has been demonstrated. Based on this background, we sought to investigate STING immunohistochemical expression in a series of PEC lesions of the kidney. Fifty classic angiomyolipomas, 14 epithelioid angiomyolipomas/pure epithelioid PEComas, two angiomyolipomas with epithelial cysts (AMLEC), and two intraglomerular PEC lesions were collected. Immunostaining for STING was carried out in all cases and FISH analysis using dual colour break apart TFE3 and TFEB probes was performed in all pure epithelioid PEComas and AMLEC. Control cases including 20 normal adult kidneys, five fetal kidneys, and 30 MiT family translocation renal cell carcinomas (the main differential diagnosis with epithelioid angiomyolipoma/pure epithelioid PEComa) were also immunohistochemically stained with STING. Strong and diffuse cytoplasmic expression of STING was observed in 100% of classic angiomyolipomas, AMLEC, and intraglomerular lesions, and in 79% (11/14) of epithelioid angiomyolipomas/pure epithelioid PEComas. TFE3 gene rearrangement was demonstrated in two epithelioid angiomyolipomas/pure epithelioid PEComas, both completely negative for STING. None of the MiT family translocation renal cell carcinomas expressed STING. In conclusion, we demonstrate the expression of STING in almost all PEC lesions of the kidney. This result provides novel insights into the possible role of autophagy in PEC lesions of the kidney. Moreover, this finding may be useful for diagnostic purposes, particularly in distinguishing epithelioid angiomyolipoma/pure epithelioid PEComa from MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma and detecting intraglomerular PEC lesions.

During 2016-17, national guidelines were developed in order to provide evidence-based recommendations on health assessments for migrants and asylum seekers upon their arrival in Italy.

Scientific literature published between 2005 and 2016 was searched in different databases. A free search was also performed on international organizations' websites in order to identify additional relevant documents. A multidisciplinary panel discussed the resulting evidence and formulated recommendations.

Evidence-based recommendations were formulated signs and symptoms of specific diseases should to be actively searched for active TB, malaria, STI, intestinal parasites, diabetes, anaemia. In case of other health conditions (latent TB, HIV, HBV, HCV, STI, strongyloides, schistosoma, diabetes), testing should be offered to asymptomatic subjects coming from endemic areas or exposed to risk factors. Mass screening is recommended for anaemia and hypertension; a pregnancy test should be considered, while inclusion in cervical cancer screening and vaccination programs is recommended.
