The COVID-19 pandemic is having a deep impact on emergency surgical services, with significant reduction of patients admitted into units world widely. Reliable figures this have not been produced yet. Our international audit aimed at giving precise snapshot the absolute and relative changes admissions outbreak pandemic.Datasets as general emergencies 45 internationally distributed during months March April 2020 (Covid-19 outbreak) were collected compared those same 2019 (pre-Covid-19)....
It is frequently assumed that the phenotypic heterogeneity in autism spectrum disorder reflects underlying pathobiological variation. However, direct evidence support of this hypothesis lacking. Here, we leverage cross-species functional neuroimaging to examine whether variability brain connectivity distinct biological mechanisms. We find fMRI alterations 20 mouse models (n=549 individual mice) can be clustered into two prominent hypo- and hyperconnectivity subtypes. show these profiles are...
Background: Almost 30% of patients with rectal cancer (RC) who submit to comprehensive treatment experience relapse. Surveillance plays a leading role in early detection. The landmark approach provides more flexible and dynamic framework for survival prediction. Objective: This large retrospective study aims develop machine learning algorithm profile the patient prognosis, especially risk onset RC relapse after curative resection. Methods: A cohort 2450 were analyzed using analysis. Model...
Major surgical societies advised using non-operative management of appendicitis and suggested against laparoscopy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hypothesis is that a significant reduction in number emergent appendectomies was observed pandemic, restricted to complex cases. study aimed analyse pandemic on national basis compare it same period previous year. This multicentre, retrospective, observational investigating outcomes patients undergoing appendectomy March-April 2019 vs 2020....
Abstract Introduction The concept of “weekend effect”, that is, substandard healthcare during weekends, has never been fully demonstrated, and the different outcomes emergency surgical patients admitted weekends may be due to conditions at admission and/or therapeutic approaches. Aim this international audit was identify any change pattern admissions treatments weekends. Furthermore, we aimed investigating impact COVID-19 pandemic on alleged effect”.

We report a case of inflammatory colitis after SARS-CoV-2 infection in patient with no additional co-morbidity who died within three weeks hospitalization. As it is becoming increasingly clear that can cause immunological alterations, we investigated the expression inhibitory checkpoint PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 to explore potential role this axis break self-tolerance. The presence virus colon tissue was demonstrated by qRT-PCR immunohistochemical localization nucleocapsid protein....
Abstract Acute diverticulitis (AD) is associated with relevant morbidity/mortality and increasing worldwide, thus becoming a major issue for national health systems. AD may be challenging, as clinical relevance varies widely, ranging from asymptomatic picture to life-threatening conditions, continuously evolving diagnostic tools, classifications, management. A 33-item-questionnaire was administered residents surgeons analyze the actual practice verify real spread of recent recommendations,...
Abstract The role of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment transverse colon cancer is still controversial. aim this study to investigate advantages a totally laparoscopic technique comparing open versus laparoscopic/robotic approach. Three hundred and eighty-eight patients with cancer, treated segmental resection, were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, tumor stage, operative time, intraoperative complications, number harvested lymph nodes recovery outcomes recorded....
The presence of the SARS-CoV-2 in peritoneal fluid is a matter debate COVID-19 literature. study aimed to report prevalence patients with nasopharyngeal swab tested positive for undergoing emergency surgery and review literature.The present was conducted between March 2020 June 2021. Diagnosis positivity confirmed by preoperative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Eighteen swabs were operated two third-level Italian hospitals. In 13 these (72%), analyzed: RNA...
Abstract Background Several reports demonstrated a strong association between the level of adherence to protocol and improved clinical outcomes after surgery. However, it is difficult obtain full into practice has still not been identified threshold beyond which functional results can be reached. Methods The ERCOLE (ERas COLorectal Endoscopic surgery) study was as cohort, prospective, multi-centre national evaluating ERAS items minimally invasive colorectal primary endpoint associate...
Post-operative hypocalcemia and postoperative persistent hypoparathyroidism remain the most common complications after thyroidectomy. Many approaches have been developed to prevent them, but actually, a protocol is not yet individuated.
