Abstract The identification of cancer-related changes in cells and tissues based on the measurements of elastic properties using atomic force microscopy (AFM) seems to be approaching clinical application. Several limiting aspects have already been discussed; however, still, no data have shown how specific AFM probe geometries are related to the biomechanical evaluation of cancer cells. Here, we analyze and compare the nanomechanical results of mechanically homogenous polyacrylamide...

Abstract Anesthesiologists and intensivists are modern-day professionals who provide appropriate respiratory care, vital for patient survival. Recently, anesthesiologists have increasingly focused their attention on the type of spontaneous breathing made by non-intubated patients with pulmonary disease cared for in an intensive care unit, and also patients with chronic pain receiving cognitive behavioral therapy. Prior to our modern understanding of respiratory physiology, Zen...

Abstract Even though several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of opioid free anesthesia (OFA) strategies in pediatric patients, OFA has not been studied in pediatric renal surgery. We, therefore, conducted a prospective observational pilot study on a total of 26 children to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using a single injection ultrasound-guided paravertebral block (PVB) at T10 level with 0.4 mL/kg bupivacaine 0.25% in combination with sevoflurane as an OFA...

Abstract Introduction The organization of the healthcare system has significantly changed after the recent COVID-19 outbreak, with a negative impact on the management of oncological patients. The present survey reports data collected by the Italian Association for Neuroendocrine Tumors on the management of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) during the pandemic dissemination. ...

Abstract Purpose The clinical impact of the SIAPEC/SIE 2014 classification for thyroid cytology has been addressed in few studies that evaluated the malignancy rate and the relative prevalence of each category. No study analyzed its intra-observer and inter-observer reproducibility, so far. Methods We retrospectively collected all “indeterminate” lesions...

ABSTRACT Background Oral hygiene management of patients with acute stroke is important for preventing aspiration pneumonia and ensuring oral intake. The tongue coating score can be useful for evaluating the oral hygiene level since it reflects the microorganism number on the tongue surface in elderly patients. However, the relationship between the number of oral microorganisms and the tongue coating score in patients with acute stroke remains unclear. Objectives We aimed to investigate...

Summary Introduction In preclinical data, the combination therapy with S-1 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) had a synergistic antitumor effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), regardless of the EGFR mutation status. Patients and Methods Patients with previously treated NSCLC and adequate organ function regardless of EGFR mutation status were eligible for the phase I study, with wild-type EGFR were eligible for the phase II study....

Low‐cost automated histopathology microscopy systems usually suffer from optical imperfections, producing images that are slightly Out of Focus (OoF). In this work, a guided filter (GF) based image preprocessing is proposed for compensating focal errors and its efficacy is demonstrated on images of healthy and malaria infected Red Blood Cells (h‐RBCs and i‐RBCs), and PAP smears. Since contrast enhancement has been widely used as an image preprocessing step for the analysis of histopathology images,...

Abstract Cochlear implants are increasingly used to treat sensorineural hearing disorders in both children and adults. Pre-operative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging play a pivotal role in patient selection, to rule out findings that preclude surgery or identify conditions which may have an impact on the surgical procedure. The post-operative position of the electrode array within the cochlea can be reliably identified using cone-beam computed tomography. Recognition...

Abstract Background Mutations in DUOX2 are the frequent cause of congenital hypothyroidism (CH), a common neonatal metabolic disorder characterized by great phenotypic variability. CH can be traditionally subclassified into two subtypes: thyroid dysgenesis (TD) and thyroid dyshormonogenesis. The objectives of this study were to analyze the genetic data of two familial CH cases, to elucidate the pathogenesis from the perspective of genetics...
