title: 'They Do What Institutions Should Do': Border Solidarity in the Light of an Institutional Crisis

description: While asylum policies at the EU borders get stricter and stricter, civil solidarity initiatives towards people on the move keep spreading and growing around the continent. By looking at these dynamics through the lens of an institutional crisis, this paper describes and interprets the components, practices and attitudes of solidarity initiatives within a relational field whose boundaries are defined by the (in)actions of state institutions in matters concerning the protection and reception of asylum-seekers and refugees. For this purpose, I engaged in a relational ethnography in Trieste, at the Italian-Slovenian border, taking myself the role of a solidarity actor and using this positionality as an epistemological and methodological tool of analysis. In this way, the article overcomes reductionist and mutually-exclusive categorizations of solidarity and claims instead that initiatives in support of people on the move are contextual and relational. At the same time, and because of that, it also brings to the surface the deepest and common roots of these projects, which ultimately lie in the political dissatisfaction for and moral condemnation of the current asylum regime.

title: Between Empathy and Solidarity. How Civic Activism Inhabits the Boundaries of Europe and Citizenship on Social Media Platforms

description: This study explores the potential of digital civic activism, considering the existing contributions of migration, political, social movements, and media studies on solidarity towards contemporary migration flows in Europe. The study investigates how the unbalanced techno-symbolic assemblage of power exercised on European borders can be challenged through spontaneous acts of online solidarity. It looks at bottom-up solidarity on social media platforms, holding together two dimensions: the communicative practices of specific singular makers of solidarity, seen as potential activation elements; the response of the users reached and involved by their content. To this end, two activists located on the real borders of the Balkan route and on the digital borders of the social media platform Facebook have been studied, namely Nawal Soufi and Lorena Fornasir. A quali-quantitative analysis was carried out on posts and related comments published in the last two years on the Facebook pages of the two activists. We argue that in today's fragmented digital public sphere, their communicative practices are acts of citizenship insofar as they represent a form of resistance to the European fortress system and re-appropriation of the use of social media. Indeed, they can empathically - emotionally and cognitively - connect networked citizens to the reality of migration flows, conveying awareness and soliciting the participation of a possible mediapolis that casts on/offline acts.

title: From Disaster Solidarity to "Multicultural Conviviality". Risks and Opportunities for Migrants in Japan after the Great Hanshin Earthquake

description: This paper is aimed at contributing to the discussion about practices of solidarity in contexts of shrinking civic space by bringing the focus on Japan. The country is famous for its restrictive migration policies and obstruction of pro-migrant practices. There is, however, a specific societal dimension where solidarity-makers can find spaces and opportunities: that is, the prevention of, and reaction to, natural disasters. The paper is structured in four sections. First, I present an overview of the context and the consequences of the Great Hanshin Earthquake (1995), by focusing on the unprecedented rise of the civil society that followed the disaster. Then, I turn to consider the situation of the migrants living in the Hanshin area at the time of the earthquake, and how they have been at the center of many initiatives of Japanese volunteers and NGOs. In a third section, I argue that, contrary to what is usually predicted by disaster research, those practices of solidarity did not disappear with the end of the emergency, but were progressively institutionalized and reproduced. Finally, I discuss how disaster solidarity has become an engine for the Japanese approach to cultural diversity, that is tabunka kyōsei ("multicultural coexistence/conviviality").

title: Supplementary Material for: TRABECTEDIN AND RADIOTHERAPY IN ENDOMETRIAL STROMAL SARCOMA - A CASE REPORT

description: Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare tumor that remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to physicians worldwide. This report depicts the case of a 47-year-old female diagnosed with high-grade ESS (HG-ESS). She underwent several lines of treatment starting with radiotherapy and brachytherapy, followed by multiple lines of treatment including trabectedin over several months. After retreatment with trabectedin and achieving disease stabilization for 10 months, treatment was optimized by trabectedin combined with radiotherapy, leading to stable disease that is still ongoing and lasts for over 17 months. Our case supports the safety of long-term trabectedin and radiotherapy administration in an ESS patient with the maintenance of durable stable disease response in the metastatic setting.

title: Supplementary Material for: Association between the triglyceride-glucose index and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury

description: Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) Index is a reliable alternative biomarker of insulin resistance, but the association between the TyG Index and acute kidney injury(AKI) in critically ill patients remains unclear.
Methods: The data for the study was extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Cox regression and restricted cubic spline(RCS) analysis were performed to analyze the association between the TyG index and all cause mortality. Besides, cox regression was carried out in subgroups of age, gender, BMI, diabetes history and dialysis status.
Results: A total of 7508 critically ill participants with AKI from the MIMIC-IV database were included in study, with 3688(49.12%) participants failed to survive. In cox regression, after confounder adjustment, patients with a higher TyG Index had a higher risk of all cause mortality (HR = 1.845, 95% CI =1.49-2.285, p &lt;0.001). In RCS, after confounder adjustment, the risk of death was positively correlated with the increased value of the TyG index when TyG index surpassed 10.014. This relationship was validated in age, gender, BMI and diabetes subgroups but not in the dialysis subgroup. Interestingly, RCS analysis demonstrated that, in patients undertaking dialysis, there is a “U” shape curve for the value of TyG index and risk of all cause mortality. When TyG index is less than 10.460, the risk of all cause mortality would decrease with the increase value of TyG index, while when TyG index is higher than 11.180, the risk of all cause mortality would increase firmly with the increase value of TyG index.
Conclusion: Overall, higher TyG index is associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality in critically ill AKI. Interestingly, the relationship in dialysis subgroup follows a "U"-shaped curve, indicating the importance of a properly clinical blood glucose and lipid management of this particular population.

title: Supplementary Material for: The impact of C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio on mortality in patients with acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy: A multicenter retrospective study

description: Introduction: C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) is a prognostic marker in various diseases that represents patients’ inflammation and nutritional status. Here, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value of CAR in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
Methods: We retrospectively collected data from eight tertiary hospitals in Korea from 2006–2021. The patients were divided into quartiles according to CAR levels at the time of CRRT initiation. Cox regression analyses were performed to investigate the effect of CAR on in-hospital mortality. The mortality prediction performance of CAR was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).
Results: In total, 3995 patients who underwent CRRT were included, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 67.3% during the follow-up period. The 7-day, 30-day, and in-hospital mortality rates increased toward higher CAR quartiles (all P &lt; 0.001). After adjusting for confounding variables, the higher quartile groups had an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (quartile 3: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10–1.43, P &lt; 0.001; quartile 4: aHR, 1.22, 95% CI, 1.07–1.40, P = 0.003). CAR combined with APACHE II or SOFA scores significantly increased the predictive power compared to each severity score alone for the AUC, NRI, and IDI (all P &lt; 0.05). 
Conclusions: A high CAR is associated with increased in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients requiring CRRT. The combined use of CAR and severity scores provides better predictive performance for mortality than the severity score alone.

title: Supplementary Material for: Phenotypic and Genetic Alterations in Adult-Onset Cone and Cone-rod Dystrophy

description: Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics and genetic spectrum of adult-onset cone/cone-rod dystrophy (AOCD/AOCRD) in Korean individuals.
Methods: This is single center, retrospective cross-sectional study. We analyzed 22 individuals with genetically confirmed cone dystrophy, with symptoms beginning after 30 years of age. All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmic and electrophysiological examinations. Exome sequencing of 296 genes associated with inherited retinal disease was performed. The clinical features of patients with AOCD/AOCRD and the causative genes and variants detected by exome sequencing were analyzed.
Results: The median age at the first visit was 52 years (range, 31 to 76 years), and the most common initial symptom was reduced visual acuity. In most cases, fundus photography showed a bull’s eye pattern with foveal sparing, consistent with perifoveal photoreceptor loss on optical coherence tomography. We identified disease-causing variants in six genes: RP1, CRX, CDHR1, PROM1, CRB1, and GUCY2D. Pathogenic variants in RP1, CRX, and CDHR1 were identified in 77% of the AOCD/AOCRD cases, including p. Cys1399LeufsTer5, p.Arg1933Ter, and p.Ile2061SerfsTer12 in RP1; p.Ter300GlnextTer118 in CRX; and p.Glu201Lys in CDHR1. No characteristic imaging differences were observed for any of the causative genes. Most of the RP1-related AOCD/AOCRD cases showed a decreased amplitude only in the photopic electroretinogram (ERG), whereas CRX-related AOCD/AOCRD cases showed a slightly decreased amplitude in both the scotopic and photopic ERGs.
Conclusion: In case of visual impairment with bull’s eye pattern of RPE atrophy recognized after the middle age, a comprehensive ophthalmic examination and genetic test should be considered, with the possibility of AOCD/AOCRD in East Asians.
