title: Supplementary Material for: Cutaneous Melanoma Arising in Congenital Melanocytic Nevus: A Retrospective Observational Study

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are benign proliferations of melanocytes usually present at birth. The magnitude of the melanoma risk for CMN is controversial, generating an ongoing debate on the best approach to manage these lesions. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To perform a retrospective, observational study with the aim to evaluate the prevalence of CMN-associated melanomas in tertiary referral centers, as well as the eventual correlation between clinical, dermoscopic, and histological features of CMN-associated melanomas. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A single-center retrospective observational study was performed on all clinical and dermoscopic images of histologically confirmed melanomas arising on CMN over a 14-year period (January 2005 to March 2019). <b><i>Results:</i></b>Our database included 2,159 melanomas in the considered period. Of those, 27 (1.3%) were CMN-associated melanomas. The mean age of patients with CMN-associated melanoma was 33 years (range, 11–70 years). The mean diameter of CMN-associated melanoma was 18 mm (range, 6 mm to 20 cm), and 56% were located on the back. Twenty-one (77.8%) of CMN-associated melanomas arose on small CMN (&lt;1.5 cm), 5 (18.5%) on medium-sized CMN (1.5–19.9 cm), and 1 (3.7%) on a large/giant type (≥20 cm). The majority of CMN-associated melanomas (63%) exhibited a globular dermoscopic pattern in their benign part, while a blue-white veil and irregular blotches were the most frequent dermoscopic features in the malignant part. About three quarters of melanomas occupied 10–50% of the nevus surface. Breslow thickness was higher in melanomas involving less than 10% of nevus surface (mean thickness, 1 mm) than in those affecting 10–50 and &gt;50% of the nevus surface (0.8 and 0.7 mm, respectively). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> In our series, small CMN was the most frequent type of CMN-associated melanoma. Although the risk of melanoma is increasing by the increasing size of CMN, our finding is definitely related to the much higher prevalence of small CMN in the general population as compared to the prevalence of intermediate-sized and large CMN. <b><i>Limitations:</i></b> Small sample size, single-center experience, retrospective design.

title: Epidemiological characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis in Japan: Prevalence estimates using a nationwide population-based questionnaire survey

description: <b>Objectives:</b> To elucidate the epidemiological characteristics of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Japan using data from the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions, a nationwide questionnaire survey conducted in 2016. <b>Methods:</b> In total, 222,365 men and 245,251 women aged ≥16 years were included in the study. RA patients were defined as those who reported ‘currently receiving treatment for RA at hospitals, clinics, or a facility for Japanese traditional massage, acupuncture, moxibustion, or judo-orthopedics.’ The number of RA patients was estimated from the age-specific prevalence and total Japanese population in 2016. Further, the prevalence of individuals experiencing difficulties in activities of daily living due to health problems and those with mental distress as evaluated by K6 Scale was examined. <b>Results:</b> The estimated number and prevalence of RA in Japan with 95% confidence interval was 822 (768–880) thousand and 0.75% (0.70–0.80%). The population peaked in the late 60s, and the prevalence continued increasing until the early 80s, regardless of sex. Compared with non-RA participants, RA patients were more likely to experience difficulties in activities and to be distressed. <b>Conclusion:</b> High prevalence of RA in older age and mental and physical burden among RA patients were confirmed.

title: Plasma pentraxin 3 is associated with progression of radiographic joint damage, but not carotid atherosclerosis, in female rheumatoid arthritis patients: 3-year prospective study

description: <b>Background:</b> Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has an important role in inflammation, immunity, and atherosclerosis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease featuring both joint damage and atherosclerosis. We investigated whether the plasma PTX3 level was associated with progression of joint destruction and subclinical atherosclerosis in RA patients. <b>Methods:</b> Plasma PTX3 levels were measured in 72 women with RA and 80 female control subjects. In RA patients, we also evaluated clinical characteristics, medications, and at one and three years, joint damage and atherosclerosis. Then we investigated whether PTX3 was associated with progression of joint destruction or an increase of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). <b>Results:</b> Plasma PTX3 levels were significantly higher in the RA patients than in healthy controls (4.05 ± 2.91 ng/mL vs. 1.61 ± 1.05 ng/mL, <i>p</i> <b>Conclusion:</b> Female RA patients had elevated plasma PTX3 levels compared with control female subjects. PTX3 was independently associated with radiographic progression of joint damage in the RA patients, but not with carotid atherosclerosis.

title: Characterising the Holmium contribution to excitations in Holmium Iron Garnet

description: Rare-earth Iron garnets (R3Fe5O12) have been in the focus of active research for the last five decades due to properties such as magnetostriction, magneto-optical effects, as well as applications in spintronics and magnonics. With the notable exception of Yttrium Iron Garnet, very little work exists on momentum resolved studies of the magnetic excitations in these compounds. It is of both fundamental and practical interest to explore the effect of a magnetic A-site in these systems, particularly with regard to understanding how this is likely to affect functional properties such as the spin Seebeck effect and the magnon thermal conductivity. The core aim of this study supplement our recent high energy measurements by studying the low energy modes of Holmium Iron Garnet (which belong to Holmium A-site), and which will complete the picture on the exchange interactions for this material.

title: Spin Dynamics of the Elemental Quantum Spin Liquid beta-Mn

description: The beta-phase of manganese metal is the only form which is non-magnetic at all temperatures and has been classified as an elemental metallic quantum spin liquid. This is thought to be due to the fact that the Mn spins are connected by interlocking 2d Ising triangular planes normal to (111) cubic directions. However, the spin-correlations in beta-Mn have never been properly measured, since this requires large incident energies with which to cover the massive spin-fluctuation bandwidth. Previous attempts to measure the full integrated S(Q) on HET were hampered by restrictive detector coverage and low resolution. We propose here to use the MAPS spectrometer to measure the magnetic S(Q) of pure beta-Mn in order to validate our spin-structure model, derived from single crystal Co-doped samples. We will require 2 days on MAPS to complete this study.

title: Characterization of the metal alloys of the Vittoria Alata of Brescia by means of TOF Neutron Diffraction.

description: We propose to analyse four small samples taken from different areas of the Winged Victory of Brescia(1st Century AD) - one of the most important Roman bronzes rediscovered in Italy - with Time Of Flight Neutron Diffraction (TOF-ND) in order to characterize the different alloys that make up the statue.In addition to these four samples, we propose to analyse a fragment of a bronze frame - found in the same archaeological context of the statue - and a small sample of metal alloy taken from it. In fact, the Vittoria Alata was found, in 1826, together with a heap of bronze artefacts (including parts for monumental statues and several frames), in an underground hideout on the western side of the Capitolium of Brescia. The comparison between the analytical results of the statue and the frame will provide further elements for understanding the casting methods in the Roman era.

title: COMBINATION OF NEUTRON BASED TECHNIQUES TO DERIVE THE COMPOSITION OF A 18TH CENTURY COIN

description: The combination of neutron based techniques will be applied to derive the composition of a 18th century Portuguese coin,This project was conceived in collaboration with INFN to partecipate to an IAEA CRP, to perform a round robin on a real archaeometric sample.We thus propose to investigate this coin, of known age and provenance, by the use of different techniques, in order to get the composition in a non-destructive way.We stress that no other non destructive techniques could be able to return the composition, taking into account also that the sample is a real one and not homogeneous.

title: Ferroelectricity vs Antiferroelectricity in n = 2 Ruddlesden–Popper Phases

description: Ferroelectric materials – those with a spontaneous, switchable electric polarization – find application in a wide range of electronic devices. We are investigating a new class of ferroelectric materials, the hybrid improper ferroelectrics, which gain their electric polarization through subtle structural distortions. We have observed that while LiSrTa2O7 adopts an improper ferroelectric structure down to the lowest temperatures measured (5 K), the closely related phase Li2SrNb2O7 switches from an improper ferroelectric to proper ferroelectric structure at low temperature. To better understand the competition between the proper and improper ferroelectric states and how the composition of materials favours one or the other, we have prepared a series of related materials and wish to collect high-resolution neutron powder diffraction data to determine their structures.

title: X-band radar derived wave parameters and depth maps in the area of Thorpeness, Suffolk, UK between August 2015 and March 2017.

description: Remote sensing using X-band radar allows the estimation of wave parameters, near surface currents and the underlying bathymetry. These data were used to explore the use of radar to derive nearshore bathymetry at a complex site, at Thorpeness in Suffolk, UK. The site has a history of sporadic and focused erosion events along the beach frontage and as part of the X-Com project (X-band Radar and Evidence-Based Coastal Management Decisions) a radar system was deployed with the aim of further understanding the complex nearshore sediment processes influencing erosion. A Kelvin Hughes 10kW, 9.41 GHz marine X-band radar system was utilised at the field site between August 2015 and April 2017. The 2.4 m horizontally polarised antenna had a mean rotation time of ~2.6 seconds and had a 3dB horizontal beam width of ~0.8-degrees. The radar transceiver and antenna were installed on a 12m high scaffold tower on a cliff top overlooking the study area, for a total elevation of approximately 20 m above mean sea level. The study focused on an area of 3.3 km2 (1.5 km alongshore x 2.2 km offshore). The radar video signal was digitised using the WaMoS II analogue-to-digital converter (OceanWaveS GmbH) in "B-scan" polar coordinate format at 1/3 degree azimuthal and 5 m range resolution. Bathymetric maps were produced from radar data using the bathymetric inversion algorithms based on the linear wave theory, incorporating current correction and averaging using a "depth-memory" method.
