For several decades, lung cancer has been the most widespread cancer in the world with an estimate of 1.8 million new cases in 2012. To illustrate the very latest frontiers in the fight against this terrible disease is Dr. Danilo Rocco, oncologist of the AORN of the Hills of Naples.Dr. Rocco, what does targeted therapy or a molecular target mean?This term refers to a type of drug therapy for the treatment of tumors aimed at countering the specific mechanisms of the carcinogenesis process (formation and growth of cancer) of the individual neoplasms. The drugs of this type are consequently effective towards defined types of cancer: they are selective (this is also referred to as personalized therapy) and generally endowed with minor adverse effects compared to chemotherapeutic drugs and of a much higher efficacy.Dr. Rocco, what is anti-tumor perimunotherapy and how does it work?It is a type of cancer therapy that works with a completely different mechanism of action than other treatments, because it does not use drugs that directly target the cancer cells but they act on the immune system: they activate it to attack and fight the tumor through antibodies normally present in our body. Once activated, the immune system can contain the growth of the tumor. And so, after so many disappointments and without sensationalism, I think we are finally on the right track, at least to try to “chronicize” the disease, that is to prolong and improve the lives of patients.
Naples, Fisciano, Milan and Messina: many university seats ended up under accusation by many young, aspiring freshmen, who have reported numerous irregularities in the last admission test to the Faculty of Medicine 2017. And what time, not having achieved the result useful to be registered, they promise judicial battle. The case was entrusted to Avv. Pasquale Marotta, owner of the prestigious law firm of Caserta, an expert in administrative law, who for 25 years offers its clients judicial and extrajudicial consultancy at the highest level. Use of telephones and other computer media in the classroom during the test; use of reserve pens to continue the test beyond the conclusion of the same; violation of anonymity during the test: some of these irregularities were even filmed by amateur photos and videos, now under scrutiny by the Lazio TAR. The violation of art. 4 of the law n. 264/99, according to which admission to the degree course in medicine is arranged “after passing the appropriate tests of general culture, on the basis of upper secondary school programs”. However, the presence of 20 questions of logic, a subject that certainly does not fall within the programs of the various high schools, has affected the result of the students’ test. Finally, the appeal refers to the ambiguity and the unpublished nature of some questions, already published in various manuals for exam preparation. For all the 450 applicants, Studio Marotta asks for the supernumerary enrollment.
Obesity is one of the main public health problems worldwide. The data released by the UN and FAO are truly alarming: 13% of the world population is overweight and this disease has more than doubled since 1980 to today. Lack of physical activity and improper diet are the main causes of a health emergency that, according to the World Health Organization, causes 3.4 million deaths every year due to diseases related to extra pounds. Dr. Roberta Caporaso, Nutritionist Biologist, Responsible for the rehabilitation and treatment of obesity at the Relax Center in San Salvatore Telesino, intervenes on the subject.
Dr. Caporaso, what are the risks associated with obesity?Obese people are at greater risk for the development of various disorders including metabolic diseases such as diabetes and lipid disorders, cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart attack, respiratory diseases, joint problems, gynecological disorders, digestive system. The presence of obesity also increases the risk of developing some cancers. Such comorbidities, which unfortunately only regress with the reduction of body weight, drastically decrease the life expectancy of patients, with a risk of death that increases with the increase in body mass index and abdominal circumference.What is the rehabilitation protocol of the Relax center?Obesity, a pathology characterized by a complex pathogenesis and a complex clinical picture, necessarily requires a multidisciplinary rehabilitative approach, the only one able to maintain results over time. The Relax Center, active in the field of rehabilitation for over 40 years, has a solid organizational structure and a multidisciplinary team composed of internist doctors, physiatrists, nutritionists, psychologists, physiotherapists and nurses. Our therapeutic-rehabilitative approach is aimed at integrating nutritional intervention – based on the Mediterranean diet – with a careful program of physical rehabilitation and physical reconditioning in the gym and in the pool. At the same time the patient undertakes an educational path within a real psychological therapy of a cognitive-behavioral nature. Over the years we have observed that the integrated training proposed by us makes it possible to quickly improve the cardiovascular, respiratory and motor system by increasing energy expenditure and significantly reducing body weight, especially in individuals under the age of 50 years.

Most of us associate Hong Kong with gleaming skyscrapers, bustling industry and frantic markets. But a succession of homegrown and international music festivals are turning it from staid metropolis into a city of song.
Clockenflap
First and foremost of Hong Kong’s music festivals is the whimsically named Clockenflap. Starting out as a humble techno club night in 2006 and then a one-day festival in 2008, in a few short years it’s exploded into a three-day extravaganza of music, art and culture, pulling in global names while retaining an endearingly indie soul.
Clockenflap takes place right on the Hong Kong harbourfront, with the skyscrapers of Central towering above festivalgoers and musicians alike, as the waves dance just metres away. It’s a festival that’s always championed local arts and music just as much as the international drawcards, working hard to deliver a genuinely eclectic lineup to its diverse audience. Big names such as Massive Attack, the Chemical Brothers and New Order have all graced the stage, alongside homegrown favourites such as indie rockers Chochukmo, quirky all-woman “math-folkers” GDJYB and instrumental math rockers Tfvsjs.
Perhaps best of all, Hong Kong’s concentrated size makes it easy for you to go hard all day – and then catch a taxi home for a full night’s sleep before doing it all over again. It’s a festival for all comers. A miniature Glastonbury – without the mud.
“Clockenflap has grown from a wonky acorn into a similarly-wonky Big Friendly Giant,” says Justin Sweeting, who co-founded the festival. “It is one of a very few events here which authentically celebrates culture and creativity, encourages social cohesion and in my humble opinion makes the city more vibrant and liveable as a result.”
Hongkongers have fond memories of Clockenflaps past – from the lunar eclipse during Bombay Bicycle Club’s set in 2011, or Fran Healey of Travis opening a yellow umbrella and crooning Why Does It Always Rain On Me in the middle of the 2014 umbrella revolution that divided the city, to 2017 and south London grime artist Stormzy’s delight in the harbour-front setting – and bafflement that anyone in Hong Kong had any idea who he was.
“My favourite moments are always stepping back and watching the crowds,” says Sweeting. “Those times I get to move around the festival, catching different collections of people all enjoying these joyous shared moments across the site. It’s an immensely rewarding feeling having any kind of involvement in something which brings so much happiness and connectivity to people.”
And while recent years have seen an influx of new music festivals in the city, he sees his festival as occupying its own special place in the ecosystem. “Clockenflap has always been about the sum of the parts,” he says. “The coming together of music, art, people, food, silliness and so much more, all set against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline. You couple all of that with the most positive festival crowd in the world, and it all adds up to something unique and very special.” •This year’s festival takes place on 9-11 November. Early bird tickets now on sale
Clockenflap is no longer the only game in town. Spurred by its success, in the last few years a wealth of other music festivals have cropped up in the city. International festival brands have discovered that Hong Kong is willing to embrace the full festival experience – with the added benefit of being able to get home in half an hour.
Sónar
Barcelona’s Sónar festival celebrates its second instalment in Hong Kong this year, brought to the city by the organisers of Clockenflap. Sónar’s emphasis on electronic music and creative technology makes it Clockenflap’s younger, hipper brother. The initial lineup has been announced, with acts including French deep house legend Laurent Garnier, tech-house act the Black Madonna and Japanese post-rockers Mouse on the Keys. •This year’s festival takes place on 17 March. Tickets now on sale
Road to Ultra
Road to Ultra is the smaller brother of Miami’s massive Ultra EDM festival, which has been spreading its beats across the globe in recent years. Billed as a setup for Ultra China – which takes place in Shanghai – last year saw Hardwell, Kygo and Zedd headlining. •Stay updated for news of a 2018 event
Shi Fu Miz
Most of the other festivals on this list all take full advantage of the city’s glorious skyline, but Hong Kong has other, more hidden assets. The two-day Shi Fu Mizfestival takes place on a beach on Lantau Island, with a distinctly hippier vibe – think yoga and meditation workshops as well as world and electronic beats. •Look out for events in 2018
Creamfields
One of the world’s largest EDM festivals made its Hong Kong debut in 2017, pulling out all the stops with big names including Tiësto, Above & Beyond and Marshmello. The lineup drew in the crowds – and the organisers are promising bigger and better this year. Unlike the other festivals, Creamfields is an indoor party – meaning Hong Kong’s temperamental weather doesn’t have to be a concern. •This year’s festival takes place on 15-16 December
Diabetes that begins in adulthood falls into five distinct categories, new research has revealed, with scientists suggesting it is time to ditch the idea that diabetes is largely split into two types.
Researchers say all of the newly classified subgroups are genetically distinct and have numerous differences, including the age at which they tend to occur and different levels of risk for complications such as kidney disease.
The team say the findings shed light on why some diabetics respond very differently to treatment than others, adding that it could help identify those who might be at high risk of complications, and lead to tailored treatment of the disease.
“For the patient, I think it will mean a more individualised therapy [and] a better quality of life,” said Leif Groop, professor of diabetes and endocrinology at Lund University, who led the study.
At present, diabetes is classified into two main forms, both of which have links to genetics. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition where the hormone insulin is not produced, and which generally develops in childhood. The more common form, type 2, in which little insulin is produced or does not trigger glucose uptake by the body’s cells, generally develops later in life and is linked to obesity.
However, the latest study suggests this classification is too simplistic.
Writing in the journal The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, researchers describe how they discovered the five sub-groups by analysing information from 8,980 diabetics diagnosed as adults in a Swedish registry. The results were confirmed using data from 5,795 other adult patients across another three further databases from Sweden and Finland.
The team say the findings show that type 1 diabetes and a late-onset autoimmune form of diabetes can be grouped together as one form, dubbed severe autoimmune diabetes.
However the researchers say what would generally have been called “type 2” diabetes in fact encompasses four categories, two of which are severe forms of the disease.
One, dubbed severe insulin-deficient diabetes, shows similar features to the autoimmune group such as relatively low body mass index (BMI), lack of insulin and early onset, but did not have telltale antibodies indicating an autoimmune disease. Diabetic eye disease was most common in this group.
While this group had the highest proportion of patients on the drug metformin, Groop said this was not the optimum treatment. “They clearly need insulin very soon, almost as much as ‘type 1’,” he said.
The other severe category, called severe insulin-resistant diabetes, is linked to obesity and shows a strong tendency for the body’s cells not to respond to insulin, with these patients showing the highest likelihood of having liver disease, chronic kidney disease, and diabetic kidney disease. This group had a low proportion of patients taking metformin, although the authors say they would be expected to benefit the most from the drug.
The two other categories are mild forms of the disease with one of them, known as mild obesity-related diabetes, linked to high BMI and the other, mild age-related diabetes, generally seen in older patients. The team say both categories can be managed with metformin and lifestyle advice.
“Diabetes is not the grey mass we have been calling type 2 – there are really subsets of the disease that require different treatment,” said Groop.
The categories were discovered by considering six different metrics, including a measure of blood glucose control, age at diagnosis, BMI, the presence of certain antibodies linked to autoimmune diabetes, and a measure of insulin sensitivity.
Genetic analysis revealed that all five subgroups are genetically distinct. Researchers say the groupings held both for those with newly diagnosed diabetes and those who had long had the disease, further suggesting the five categories are not simply down to different stages of the same form of diabetes – although further work is needed to explore whether patients can move between the types. It is also not clear if the different classifications have different causes.
Dr Emily Burns, head of research communications at Diabetes UK said finding diabetes subtypes could help patients, but that more work was needed.
“This research takes a promising step toward breaking down type 2 diabetes in more detail, but we still need to know more about these subtypes before we can understand what this means for people living with the condition,” she said. “For example, whether we’d find the same subtypes in people of different ethnicity or nationality.”
Arthrosis is a degenerative disease of an evolutionary nature. Initially, it concerns articular cartilage, that is the tissue that covers the surface of the two bones that form the joint and then the bone and the surrounding soft tissues. To illustrate the new guidelines for the management of this pathology is Prof. Stefano Gumina, Director of the Complex Operating Unit of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Sapienza University, Polo Pontino (ICOT – Latina), and President of the Italian Society of Shoulder Surgery and of the Elbow.
Professor Gumina, what are the symptoms of shoulder arthrosis?
The onset is characterized by pain and reduction of movement. As the pathology progresses, pain increases in intensity, is also present at night and intensifies with common daily activities. By moving the arm, the patient feels the showers.
Is it therefore a disabling illness?In the advanced stages of the pathology, yes, yes. Patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder have difficulty driving, to bring the fork to the mouth, to wash or comb. Often the arthrosis is bilateral, so the quality of life is very compromised.What do you recommend to your patients?Treatment depends on the severity of the arthrosis, the general state of health and the age of the patient, the intensity of the pain and how much the quality of life is compromised. Generally to the fifty-year-old patient, with arthrosis of a slight degree, with poor painful symptomatology and satisfactory arm function, it is advisable to take pain relievers occasionally and to follow physiotherapy programs to alleviate the pain and improve the residual articulation. The patient aged seventy with severe osteoarthritis, with intense pain, with reduced mobility of the upper limb, but in good general condition, could obtain a marked improvement undergoing surgery. Are you referring to the prosthesis?Exact. There are more types depending on the age of the patient and the presence or absence of rotator cuff tendons. Is shoulder surgery in Italy high-level or whether, as in the past, we have to acknowledge a certain scientific supremacy and greater availability of resources from the countries of northern Europe or the Americans? Shoulder and elbow surgeons in Italy are of the highest level. The prostheses we implant in our country are the same ones that use our European cousins and the Americans. The credibility enjoyed by our surgeons is enormous. If this were not the case, the international scientific committee would never have entrusted Italy (Rome) with the task of organizing the world congress of shoulder and elbow surgery in 2022.

Having ushered in a new super-slim bezel design at the beginning of 2017 with the S8, has Samsung’s new dual-aperture, dual camera enough to entice people to upgrade?
It’s fair to say the Galaxy S9+ looks practically identical to its predecessor. It’s got the same curved glass design, metal sides and lump-less camera on the back, and while it is 1.4mm shorter, 0.4mm wider and 0.4mm thicker than the S8+, you’ll need a ruler to notice.
The bezels at the top, which contain the iris scanner, front-facing camera and various sensors, are slightly smaller. Samsung didn’t adopt the “notch” that Apple used for the iPhone X and many others are expected to use this year, and I think that’s a good thing.
The large 6.2in OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous, pixel-perfect with deep blacks and rich colours, and it’s squeezed into a frame that’s surprisingly easy to hold, particularly compared to devices such as Google’s Pixel 2XL, which is 3.3mm wider. Oh, and it’s still got a headphones socket.
The S9+ is still quite big in your pocket, but one important change over last year’s model is the position of the fingerprint scanner on the back. Blaced below the rear cameras instead of alongside them means it’s so much easier to reach. It’s accurate, fast and a massive improvement.
Specifications
Screen: 6.2in quad HD+ AMOLED (529ppi)
Processor: octa-core Samsung Exynos 9810 or octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
RAM: 6GB of RAM
Storage: 128GB + microSD card slot
Operating system: Android 8.0 with Samsung Experience
Camera: Dual 12MP rear camera with OIS, 8MP front-facing camera
Connectivity: LTE, Wi-Fi, NFC, wireless charging, Bluetooth 5, GPS and Iris scanner
Dimensions: 158.1 x 73.8 x 8.5 mm
Weight: 189g
A day’s battery
Over the years we’ve come to expect excellent performance from Samsung’s top-of-the-line phones and the S9+ is no exception. It flies along as a result, keeping pace with most of the best of the rest, although it’s not quite as snappy as Google’s Pixel 2XL, which comes down to software optimisation.
The S9+ will be able to do everything you want in a top-end phone, including high-performance gaming and multiple apps on one screen, but there’s one area of weakness compared to recent competitors – and that’s battery life.
The Galaxy S9+ doesn’t have bad battery life, it will still get through a day. But when top-end phones such as Huawei’s Mate 10 Pro can do two days per charge, and Apple’s iPhone X will last just under 30 hours, the Galaxy S9+’s 26 hours between charges isn’t as good as it should be. Last year’s S8+ managed 30 hours between charges.
That was while using the S9+ as my primary device with the screen set to QHD+ and the always-on display active, browsing and using apps for five hours with a hundred or so push messages, watching 60 minutes of Netflix, and listening to around five hours of music via Bluetooth headphones.
Setting the screen to FHD+ added around two hours longevity, but you could see the display wasn’t as crisp. Turning off the always-on display made little difference.
It’s worth noting that the battery life got better the longer I used the phone, as Samsung’s device maintenance feature suppresses apps that haven’t been launched in a while but are still consuming power in the background.
Samsung’s version of Android 8 Oreo
The Galaxy S9+ is one of the first Samsung devices to run Android 8 Oreo, but on the whole not a lot has changed since the Galaxy S8+. The Samsung Androidexperience is fairly consistent between models, but it performs smoother on the S9+ than on any phone before it.
There are small additions, such as the ability to have the home screen rotate to landscape, Oreo’s new notification system including number markers on program icons, and the ability to duplicate messaging apps so you can have two versions of apps such as WhatsApp installed at once.
One of the most obvious additions is Samsung’s new AR Emoji. They operate like Apple’s Animoji, but use virtual avatars that are meant to look like you. Mine doesn’t look much like me, but it picks up expressions, and eye and mouth movements, very well, so you can send a bespoke image. It also generates a series of gifs with your virtual self performing various actions that you can send to people like any other gif. When I did, the recipients told me to stop almost immediately, so I suspect some might like them more than others.
Biometrics
The Galaxy S9+ has facial recognition, an iris scanner and a fingerprint scanner, giving you multiple modes to unlock the device. New for this year is “intelligent scan”, which combines facial recognition and iris scanning into one mode.
It’s certainly fast and works well most of the time, but there are questions over its level of security, with warnings appearing when you set it up. Samsung’s facial recognition certainly isn’t as secure as Apple’s on the iPhone X, but whether that matters to you depends on how you balance security with convenience.
The fingerprint scanner on the back is great, and makes a huge difference to the usability of the device.
Camera
The camera is all new for the Galaxy S9+. There’s a 12-megapixel dual camera on the back, that has one wide-angle camera and one telephoto camera, both with optical image stabilisation similar to the Note 8. But the wide-angle camera can also vary its aperture, flipping between an f-stop of 1.5 and 2.4.
The idea is that the faster f/1.5 lets in more light for better low-light photography and extremely shallow depth of field, while the f/2.4 is better for shooting in good lighting. This can either be left to the camera to automatically decide or be controlled manually in “pro” mode.
All combined, the rear camera system on the S9+ is one of the best available, producing well coloured, well detailed photos in most lighting conditions. Its low-light performance is impressive, while the telephoto camera occasionally comes in handy. It is a significant improvement from Samsung that catches up with the competition rather than blow them out of the water.
New for this year is super slow motion of up to 960 frames per second, which is four times the speed of regular 240fps slow motion. The faster the capture the greater the effect when played at normal speed, making 0.2 seconds of action turn into six seconds of video.
It’s a lot of fun to use and Samsung has built-in systems to make it easier to capture what you’re after. You can manually trigger the super slow-mo multiple times while recording video, and then produce one long clip or just export the bits you want as videos or gifs.
But the camera app also has a motion-detection option, which allows you to define an area in which any movement will trigger the super slow-motion capture. It works very well, taking the guess work out of when to hit the button.
The eight-megapixel selfie camera is still one of the best, preserving detail and doing fairly well in dim lighting.
Observations
There’s a “hybrid” sim version available that allows you to use two sim cards at the same time, or one sim card and a microSD card
The S9+ is water resistant to IP68 standards (1.5m of water for 30 minutes)
Dolby Atmos sound enhancer is really great, adding more pop and space to audio, even with Bluetooth headphones
The ear piece and bottom speakers work as a stereo pair
You can get rid of the ugly icon backgrounds
Bixby, Samsung’s personal assistant, hasn’t improved much over the last year and I still found it more annoying than useful – you can now disable the Bixby key and turn off the home screen page, effectively hiding it entirely
Price
The Samsung Galaxy S9+ costs £869 with 128GB of storage in purple, blue or black.
Last year’s Galaxy S8+ was slightly held back by a few annoying niggles, such as the awkward fingerprint sensor placement, all of which have been rectified in the Galaxy S9+.
Samsung could certainly be accused of simply recycling last year’s design, but it was really great in 2017 and is just as great in 2018, so it gets away with it – for now. The battery life is slightly disappointing, but still long enough to get through a day.
The camera is great, the screen fantastic and the fit and finish is brilliant. It is feature-packed and still the phone to go for if you want a massive screen in as manageable a body as possible. Given the bar has been raised by how expensive top-end smartphones can be, the S9+ is actually not that expensive for what it is, either, which is not something I thought I’d say about a phone costing £869.
