Association between long-term exposure to air pollution and cause-specific mortality within five Italian longitudinal metropolitan studies

Federica Nobile, Nicola Caranci, Elena Strippoli, Valentina Adorno et autres

Extensive epidemiological literature has documented adverse effects of ambient air pollution on human health. However, in Italy, no multicenter longitudinal studies on chronic exposure to air pollution and mortality have been conducted. Within the BIGEPI project, we aimed to investigate the association …

Non-occupational exposure to heavy metals of the residents of an industrial area and biomonitoring

Luigi Vimercati, Antonio Baldassarre, Maria Franca Gatti, T Gagliardi et autres

In areas at high environmental risk, a major issue is the assessment of the exposure of the general population to industrial pollutants. To date, few studies have investigated exposure to heavy metals in a population residing in a high risk environmental area. …

Azacitidine in the front-line treatment of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms: a multicenter case series.

Carla Minoia, Nicola Sgherza, Giacomo Loseto, Giuseppina Greco et autres

BACKGROUND/AIM: A continued increase in the incidence of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) is expected due to the improvement of chemotherapeutic treatments for solid and haematological malignancies. The use of 5-azacytidine (AZA) is emerging in these patients. We, therefore, analyzed the outcome of …

Sorafenib and locoregional deep electro-hyperthermia in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: A phase II study

Gennaro Gadaleta‐Caldarola, Stefania Infusino, Ida Galise, Girolamo Ranieri et autres

The standard treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor of tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Hyperthermia inhibits angiogenesis and promotes apoptosis. Potential synergic antiangiogenic and proapoptotic effects represent the rationale for combining sorafenib with electro-hyperthermia (EHY) in HCC. …

Changes in angiogenesis and hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α protein expression in relapsed/refractory indolent non‐ H odgkin lymphomas

Carla Minoia, Carmela Quero, Mariaconsilia Asselti, Ida Galise et autres

Angiogenesis is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α, also termed HIF1A) might contribute to this process. Currently, there is no direct evidence that the clinical progression of indolent NHL is associated with angiogenesis, and …
