Experience of the implementation and outcomes of universal testing for Lynch syndrome in the United Kingdom

A. Cavazza, C. Radia, C. Harlow, K. J. Monahan

Aim Colorectal cancer (CRC) is diagnosed in approximately 45 000 people annually in the UK, and it is estimated that Lynch syndrome (LS) accounts for 3.1% of these cases. In February 2017, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE guideline DG27 recommended universal testing of new cases of CRC for mismatch repair (MMR) status. The aim of this study was to implement universal testing...

Virchows Archiv > 2018 > 472 > 6 > 1041-1054

In recent decades, various highly qualified individuals have increasingly performed tasks that have historically been handled by physicians with the aim of reducing their workload. Over time, however, these “physician assistants” or “physician extenders” have gained more and more responsibilities, showing that specific tasks can be performed equally skilfully by specialised health care professionals...

C. Nikolaidou, E. Moscarella, C. Longo, S. Rosato, more

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology > 43 > 12 > 1197 - 1202

Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome (BHDS), first described in 1977, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, linked to germline mutations in the FLCN (folliculin) gene. Patients may present with different skin tumors, pulmonary cysts with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax, and renal cancers, but it has also been estimated that about 25% of carriers older than 20 years do not show skin involvement. So far, besides...

Diagnostic pitfalls in the preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT evaluation of a case of giant malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura

F. Lococo, C. Rapicetta, T. Ricchetti, A. Cavazza, more

Revista Espanola de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (English Edition) > 2014 > 33 > 2 > 109-111

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is an uncommon entity, generally with an indolent behavior. Nevertheless, some malignant forms have been rarely reported. These, often have an aggressive biological behavior with pathological findings of invasiveness. The preoperative diagnosis and evaluation of the grade of malignancy are extremely challenging. Herein we report a case of a 64-year-old man...

Virchows Archiv > 2014 > 464 > 1 > 61-68

This study aimed at challenging pulmonary large cell carcinoma (LLC) as tumor entity and defining different subgroups according to immunohistochemical and molecular features. Expression of markers specific for glandular (TTF-1, napsin A, cytokeratin 7), squamous cell (p40, p63, cytokeratins 5/6, desmocollin-3), and neuroendocrine (chromogranin, synaptophysin, CD56) differentiation was studied in 121...

Evaluation of Pasta Thermal Treatment By Determination of Carbohydrates, Furosine, and Color Indices

A. Cavazza, C. Corradini, M. Rinaldi, P. Salvadeo, more

Food and Bioprocess Technology > 2013 > 6 > 10 > 2721-2731

The drying process of pasta plays a crucial role in assuring its final quality, since the operational conditions of this process may imply thermal and mechanical damage that also affect final product yield. In this work, independent analyses on furosine, carbohydrates, and color indices (red, yellow, and lightness) have been conducted on pasta samples produced by an Italian pasta factory in order...

Does milk treatment before cheesemaking affect microbial and chemical traits of ripened cheese? Grana Trentino as a case study

E. Franciosi, F. Gardini, L. Monfredini, G. Tabanelli, more

Journal of Dairy Science > 2012 > 95 > 10 > 5485-5494

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different storage temperatures and delivery system of the milk on the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of Grana Trentino, a long-ripened hard-cooked Italian cheese. In particular, 3 kinds of milk storage and delivery were studied: milk delivered to the dairy in the traditional manner without temperature control, milk delivered...

The spatial distribution of bacteria in Grana-cheese during ripening

L. Monfredini, L. Settanni, E. Poznanski, A. Cavazza, more

Systematic and Applied Microbiology > 2012 > 35 > 1 > 54-63

The microbial composition and its spatial distribution of Grana Trentino, a hard Parmesan-like cheese, was determined, from vat milk to cheese. After cutting along the vertical axis of the cheese wheels, three layers were sampled diagonally across the cheese: under the cheese rind, an intermediate section and the cheese core. After two different ripening periods (9 and 18 months), the cheese samples...

A Factory-Scale Application of Secondary Adjunct Cultures Selected from Lactic Acid Bacteria During Puzzone di Moena Cheese Ripening

E. Franciosi, L. Settanni, S. Carlin, A. Cavazza, more

Journal of Dairy Science > 2008 > 91 > 8 > 2981-2991

The lactic acid populations of 2 seasonal Puzzone di Moena cheeses made from winter and summer raw cow's milk were characterized at different ripening times. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated on selective media and subjected to genetic typing and identification. The species most frequently found during ripening were Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Pediococcus...

Sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland associated with hyperthyroidism: Review of the literature and report of two peculiar cases

G. Papi, F. Briganti, F. Artioli, A. Cavazza, more

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation > 2006 > 29 > 9 > 834-839

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas that rarely involve the thyroid gland. Thyroid sarcoidosis has seldom been documented, and few cases have so far been described in association with hyperthyroidism. Here, we review the literature on this association, report two patients presenting with hyperthyroidism and histologically-proven sar-coidosis, and discuss related...

Indigenous raw milk microbiota influences the bacterial development in traditional cheese from an alpine natural park

E. Poznanski, A. Cavazza, F. Cappa, P.S. Cocconcelli

International Journal of Food Microbiology > 2004 > 92 > 2 > 141-151

Nostrano di Primiero is a 6-month ripened cheese produced from raw milk collected in the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park area in the Italian Dolomites. In summer, this cheese is made using milk collected from two different areas, Passo Rolle and Vanoi, in the Paneveggio Natural Park. During the experiment, the milk from the two areas was separately processed, and cheeses were made in the...

Pathology - Research and Practice > 2002 > 198 > 1 > 51-54

We report a case of an intranodal schwannoma in a 79-year-old woman. The patient underwent a left colectomy for a colonic adenocarcinoma, with regional lymph node dissection. Macroscopic examination of the specimen revealed a well-circumscribed 4 cm nodule located in the pericolic fat. Macroscopically, it was interpreted as a metastatic lymph node. Microscopically, the nodule was composed of a proliferation...

K.D. Bartle, R.A. Carney, A. Cavazza, M.G. Cikalo, more

Journal of Chromatography A > 2000 > 892 > 1-2 > 279-290

Much capillary electrochromatography (CEC) work is carried out on bonded silica packings which offer many advantages: the number of such packings which are available; the fact that the chemistry of bonding and the separation process are fairly well understood; and the possibility of the transfer to CEC of existing HPLC methods. Packing methods for the preparation of CEC columns have been investigated...
