Italian Cystic Fibrosis Registry (ICFR). Report 2019-2020

INTRODUCTION Italian cystic fibrosis registry (ICFR) collects data from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients through the collaboration with Italian CF referral and support Centres (Italian law 548/93). ICFR contributes: • to the analysis of medium and long term clinical and epidemiological trends of the disease; • to the identification of the main health care needs at regional and national level to contribute to the Health Care programmes and to the distribution of resources; • to the comparison of ...

Ultralight vector dark matter search using data from the KAGRA O3GK run

Among the various candidates for dark matter (DM), ultralight vector DM canbe probed by laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors through themeasurement of oscillating length changes in the arm cavities. In this context,KAGRA has a unique feature due to differing compositions of its mirrors,enhancing the signal of vector DM in the length change in the auxiliarychannels. Here we present the result of a search for $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge bosonDM using the KAGRA data from auxiliary length ch...

Vitrectomy in Small idiopathic MAcuLar hoLe (SMALL) study: conventional internal limiting membrane peeling versus inverted flap

Background: To compare conventional internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling versus inverted flap technique in small idiopathic macular hole. Methods: Retrospective, multicentre cohort study including consecutive eyes with a ≤250 μm idiopathic macular hole treated with primary vitrectomy. The primary outcome was best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) change and macular hole closure rate. Closure patterns on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and rates of external limiting membrane (ELM) and elli...
