Abstract The saprophagous larvae of Hermetia illucens show promising potential as effective agents for bioconverting organic waste and by-products into valuable biomass. Their capability to efficiently transform substrates, varying in nutrient content, origin, texture, moisture, is strictly correlated with the morphofunctional complexity their digestive system associated microbiota. In addition, post-ingestion mechanisms are set motion regulate midgut activity depending on feeding substrate,...
Abstract Trisomy 18 is a severe aneuploidy associated with multiple malformations and poor prognosis. The diagnosis typically made prenatally, leading to high rate of pregnancy terminations. aim this study demonstrate that even though the prognosis heterogeneous, prolonged survival possible these children are an enrichment for their families after all. A retrospective, descriptive monocentric was conducted on fetuses diagnosed trisomy 18, evaluated between March 2017 June 2023 at our...
This study was undertaken to assess the role of gamma knife (GK) in treatment meningiomas posterior cranial fossa (PCF) and statistically analyze predictability arbitrarily-selected prognostic factors such treatment.From February 1993 November 1998, 57 patients underwent GK for 62 PCF (19 M/38 F; average age, 57.5 years, ranging from 25 - 82 years). Tumor sites included: foramen jugular-petrous bone (26/62), petroclival (23/62), cerebellar convexity (6/62), tentorium magnum (1/62). Single...
Can uterine scar healing after laparoscopic intracapsular myomectomy (LIM) be adequately monitored by traditional two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound (US) and Doppler velocimetry?The myometrial area of the LIM can followed 2D US velocimetry.Apart from post-surgical adhesions, main concern linked to is quality incision: it has been suggested that could useful for assessing scars myomectomy. However, no diagnostic method yet widely accepted assess process.A cohort prospective study (level evidence...
Objective. To show the validity of prenatal invasive surgical intervention when a fetal ovarian cyst is diagnosed, compared to wait and see attitude, in order avoid possible postnatal complications.Patients. Fourteen cases intra-abdominal cysts monitored our center between April 2005 November 2010. All were first diagnosed third trimester, for remainder pregnancy after delivery (2 months–3 years postnatally).Surgical intervention. Upon maternal cutaneous anesthesia performed...
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the distribution of maternal serum pregnancy‐associated plasma protein‐A (PAPP‐A) and free β ‐human chorionic gonadotropin ( ‐hCG) at 12, 22 32 weeks' gestation in singleton pregnancies which develop pre‐eclampsia (PE) performance these biomarkers screening for PE. Methods Serum PAPP‐A ‐hCG were measured 94 989 cases 11–13 weeks, 7597 19–24 weeks 8088 30–34 gestation. Bayes' theorem was used to combine a‐priori risk from characteristics medical history with...
<b>Introduction</b> Prenatal detection of isolated ascites is a rare finding on ultrasound, usually suggestive an underlying pathology that may negatively impact the pregnancy and neonatal outcome. The purpose present study was to evaluate outcome primary in relation gestational age (GA) at diagnosis. <b>Materials Methods</b> Data were prospectively collected for fetuses with have been followed our center prenatal diagnosis therapy from 2004 2014. Patients divided group I when detected...
<b>Introduction</b> The aim of the study was to investigate perinatal outcome fetuses with hyperechogenic bowel (HB) in relation gestational age at diagnosis. <b>Materials and Methods</b> This is a retrospective observational fetal HB cases from 2002 2012. Patients were divided into three groups according trimester For each group, data ultrasound examination, medicine investigations, intrapartum cares, neonatal obtained. <b>Results</b> A diagnosis made 279 among them 17 (6%) during first...
Objectives To construct monochorionic (MC) twin-specific longitudinal Doppler references for umbilical artery pulsatility index (UA-PI), middle cerebral (MCA) PI and peak systolic velocity (PSV) ductus venosus (DV) derived from a strictly selected cohort of uncomplicated MC twins. The secondary aim the study was to compare our findings with singleton reference charts. Methods A retrospective evaluation made all consecutive twin pregnancies referred Unit 2010 2018. Fortnightly serial...

Out the 300 couples (600 parents) invited participate, 286 (158 mothers, 128 fathers) successfully...
The ultrasonographic detection of renal anomalies may modify obstetric management and facilitate pediatric care the newborn. We performed prenatal differential diagnosis an isolated unilateral cystic mass (71 × 74 82 mm) in a pregnant woman at 26 weeks gestation. No other abnormalities were detected by ultrasonography, except for polyhydramnios. Repeated percutaneous cyst aspirations required because increasing risk vital organ damage. Postnatal nephroureterectomy was performed....
