Improving the prognosis of breast cancer patients is utmost importance in terms increasing survival rates. Modern medicine has therefore prioritized better quality life for patients, even after disease, through a management potential long-term side effects induced by anticancer treatments. Fertility preservation and family planning are crucial issues to be addressed all reproductive age. Along those lines, new branch with distinct multidisciplinary characteristics developed over years:...
Background: The Covid-19 pandemic's potential psychological impact has been widely discussed on the basis of expert opinion and previous experience with emergencies this type. We conducted a survey cancer patients to explore more objectively outbreak's their emotional well-being quality life. Methods: Between March 18 April 4, 2020, at an endocrine center in Rome, Italy, 137 were asked complete online 6-item questionnaire developed by our staff effects outbreak Italy (Covid-19 Emotional...
Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) has an excellent prognosis; however, advanced disease is associated with a worse prognosis and relatively common. Surgery followed by RAI treatment remains the mainstream for large majority of patients high- intermediate-risk DTC, but its benefits should be carefully weighed against potential harm. The aim this paper to critically review experience in treating DTC at two tertiary referral centers Italy. Retrospective analysis 300 who underwent surgery...
Background: Treatment of breast cancer (BC) includes locoregional and systemic therapies depending on tumor patient’s characteristics. Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is known as a strong antioxidant agent, able to improve local (i.e., region) side effects, functional status quality-of-life. We investigated some potential beneficial including hematological local, the combined therapy with oral myo-inositol administration topical IP6 application in patients undergoing surgery for BC eligible...
Background: Effective pre-surgical planning is crucial for achieving successful outcomes in endocrine surgery: it essential to provide patients with a personalized plan minimize operative and postoperative risks. Methods: Preoperative lymph node (LN) mapping structured high-resolution ultrasonography examination performed the presence of two endocrinologists operating surgeon before intervention produce reliable “anatomical guide”. Our aim was propose preoperative complete model that...
Given the long-standing debate about nature of concept disease, objective this study was to understand how doctors categorize a condition as disease or not and what kind information they use. A survey with set clinical vignettes designed, group physicians were asked interpret those situations motivate their choice short written text. Thematic analysis answers resulted in four themes: temporal dimension reification an existential condition, motivation action. The respondents’ interpretations...
Background and Objectives: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis is a fearful complication during thyroidectomy. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) optical magnification (OM) facilitate RLN identification dissection. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the influence two techniques on incidence determine correlations regarding common outcomes in thyroid surgery. Materials Methods: Two equally sized groups 50 patients who underwent total thyroidectomies were examined. In first...
Inflammatory microenvironment is an essential component of all tumors, including thyroid cancer. Autoimmune diseases are often associated with CD25, expressed in Treg cells and B cells, has been found to be autoimmune the NFkB pathway critical tumor formation, regulating immune-related genes, pro-inflammatory cytokine.Protein expression CD25 its phosphorylated form was analyzed by immunohistochemistry 80 patients cancer (10 cases cancers Hashimoto's thyroiditis 70 without).CD25 mainly...
Family history of thyroid cancer increases the risk harboring malignancies that end up having extrathyroidal extension (ETE) and multifocality on histology; some authors suggest a more aggressive surgical approach. Their pre-operative identification could allow conservative procedures if none these features are suspected. Our aim was to assess neck ultrasonography identify or exclude ETE in patients tailor extent surgery. This retrospective study included with previous surgery, ≥1...
We investigated if thyroid nodule size has a predictive value of malignancy on par with composition, echogenicity, shape, margin, and echogenic foci, what would be the consequence observing rule American College Radiology (ACR) to perform fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). conducted retrospective real-life observational study 86 patients who underwent surgery after standardized diagnostic protocol. divided TR3, TR4, TR5 classes into sub-classes according threshold indicating FNAB (a: up...
Incidental sonographic discovery of thyroid nodules is an increasingly common event in clinical practice. Less frequently, patients with cytological benign have suspicious cervical lymph nodes detected by ultrasound examination or exam. Here, we discuss intriguing case node metastasis a probable origin 65-year-old asymptomatic male smoker. He underwent thyroidectomy and unilateral lymphadenectomy. Despite negative chest X-ray, the postoperative histological revealed that was actually from...
Hypercalcitoninaemia has been described in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type 1A and 1B. Elevated calcitonin levels are thought to result from impaired Gsα receptor signaling, leading multiple hormone resistance. Evidence on the risk of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or C-cell hyperplasia PHP hypercalcitoninaemia is lacking. A 43-year-old Caucasian man was referred our endocrinology clinic for chronic hypocalcemia associated elevated serum parathormone a single cystic...
Given the long-standing debate about nature of concept disease, objective this study was to understand how doctors categorize a condition as disease or not, and what kind information they use is. A survey with set eighteen clinical vignettes designed, nineteen physicians senior students purposefully selected were asked interpret those situations diseases not produce an anonymous short written piece text providing motivation their choice. Realist thematic analysis used analyse answers, four...
Work-related stress is a complex problem requiring work environment-based assessment. Artists like dancers represent category of atypical workers potentially at high risk for work-related stress.

The questionnaire evaluates 7 key dimensions: demand, control, managers' support, peer relationships, role...
Peer assisted learning (PAL) is a common method to complement more traditional teaching. Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses described the most used ways of implementation showed that it effective in fostering learning. A synthesis qualitative data missing, highlight perceived value by students drive successful implementation.
