Notes

Hang-up of the Axl walkway affects chest and cancer of the prostate metastasis towards the bones and also bone redecorating.
In two patients, besides steatosis, mild inflammatory infiltrates composed of lymphoid cells in portal tracts were observed. No correlation between the patient's age and histopathological features was observed.

The histopathological changes in the liver of CDG patients are miscellaneous; thus, based on the microscopic examination only, we can not identify (even suspect) the exact CDG. The most common histopathologic finding in our cohort of CDG patients was the presence of liver steatosis (of various severity) and foamy degeneration of hepatocytes.

To describe trends observed across thirty years in demographic and clinical characteristics and rehabilitation of patients with bilateral cerebral palsy.

This retrospective study includes 464 (261M and 203F) inpatients with bilateral cerebral palsy, born from 1967 to 1997 and discharged from an outpatient rehabilitative facility from 1985 to 2015. Data concerning the health profile were collected from medical reports and organized in the domains of Body Functions and Structure; Activity and participation and Personal and Environmental factors as proposed in the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF). The trend observed over the three birth decades was discussed.

The duration of the rehabilitative treatment decreased across decades approximately by two years per decade (from an initial 16.2yrs to 12.3yrs). Across the decades the rate of quadriplegia decreased, whereas rates of diplegia increased; spasticity was the prevalent observed motor type for all decades. The most frequent musculoskeletal disorder involved the middle inferior part of the body; among comorbidities a steady decrease in psychiatric disorders was found. With respect to the first decade a slight improvement was observed in the gross motor functioning and in the hand dexterity. No particular trend was observed concerning communication abilities. An increase in the use of pharmacological and surgical treatments for motor symptoms was observed.

This study presents and describes the functioning of a large sample of Italian patients with bilateral CP on the basis of the ICF framework and it discussed the trend observed across decades.

To examine the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with incident dementia in older veterans and the effect of anticoagulation on that association.

Around 407,871 veterans aged ≥55 years receiving care from US Veterans Health Administration between August 2003 and September 2015 were included in our retrospective study. AF and incident dementia were determined according to ICD-9-CM codes. Logistic regressions with veterans grouped into high-dimensional propensity scores deciles were used, and a mediation analysis was employed to examine the extent of cardio/cerebrovascular diseases that may also account for that association.

AF was associated with greater dementia risk (odds ratio = 1.14; 95% confidence interval 1.07-1.22), partially mediated by cardio/cerebrovascular disease. Among veterans with AF taking anticoagulants, the risk of dementia was 44% higher (odds ratio =1.44; 95% CI 1.27-1.63) compared to those without anticoagulants, likely related to AF severity.

Our findings underscore the importance of considering cognitive function in the management of AF patients.

Use of Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) for patients with suspected testicular torsion (TT) is highly controversial and remains debated, as it can delay surgery and its performance may vary.

To assess the role, impact, safety, and performance of DUS in the management of patients with suspected TT before scrotal exploration.

The TORSAFUF cohort retrospectively included patients older than 12 yr who underwent surgery for suspected TT in 14 academic hospitals between 2005 and 2019. Perioperative data and surgical and DUS reports were collected.

Clinical factors influencing DUS utilisation were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. The orchidectomy rate and delay to surgery were compared by group with and without DUS receipt using one-to-one propensity score (PS) matching to assess imaging safety. For the group with preoperative imaging, DUS performance was evaluated using a contingency table.

Overall, 2922 patients were included, of whom 956 (32.7%) underwent DUS before surgery. TGF-beta inhibition DUS was more li not associated with a higher risk of negative outcomes but was only moderate in accurately diagnosing TT. Surgery to correct TT should not be delayed.
We analysed the performance and safety of an ultrasound scan of the scrotum before surgery for patients with a suspected twisted testicle (TT). This scan before surgery was not associated with a higher risk of negative outcomes but was only moderate in accurately diagnosing TT. Surgery to correct TT should not be delayed.
In recent years, new technologies have been developed to treat benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). Three of these devices may be utilized in office and are promising additions.

To systematically review all clinical trials investigating prostatic urethral lift (PUL), water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT), and temporary implantable nitinol device (TIND), with emphasis on clinical efficacy and complications.

We performed a systematic review of PubMed/Medline database in November 2020 according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines.

Of 168 articles identified, 18 met the inclusion criteria. Evidence consisted of few randomized controlled trials, and multiple single-arm prospective and retrospective studies. Among the three modalities, PUL demonstrates rare occurrence of serious complications but higher retreatment rates at short- and long-term follow-up. WVTT offers lower retreatment rates with a similar safety profile. TIND studies report varying rates of retreatment and complications.
