Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital malformation of the upper gastrointestinal tract with an estimated prevalence varying from 1 in 2500 to 4500 births. The aim this study was describe epidemiology EA between 1981 and 2012 evaluate patients' survival.This used data population-based Italian Congenital Malformation Registry. survival status ascertained by linking registry records, vital records regional registries patients. Kaplan-Meier methods were estimate probabilities up 25 years Cox...
Background: Nationwide studies described a reduction in preterm birth (PTB) during the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, but this was not confirmed others. Very few data are available on trend of PTBs over longer period, including post-pandemic and potential risk factors, especially those associated with social disparities. Objective: To investigate PTB rates influence maternal factors Italy from January 2018 to December 2022, based 12 Regional Birth Registries covering 86.1%...
Background and purpose: Recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has limited curative treatment options. Reirradiation is the only potential definitive in advanced stages at a cost of substantial severe often life-threatening toxicity. Proton therapy (PT) reduces irradiated volume compared with X-ray radiotherapy could be advantageous terms safety efficacy population heavily pretreated patients. We report retrospective results PT reirradiation recurrent NPC patients treated our Institution...
To evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) compared with intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors alone or combined PDT in treatment choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).Retrospective study a consecutive series 34 white patients (34 eyes) angiographic evidence chorioretinopathy, divided into two groups followed for at least 12 months: 16 were treated full fluence (PDT group) and 18 (intravitreal...
Background. Over the past ten years oncological outcomes achieved by local excision techniques (LETs) as sole treatment for early stages of rectal cancer (ESRC) have been often disappointing. The reasons these poor results lie mostly in high risk disease's diffusion to local-regional lymph nodes even ESRC. Aims. This study aims find correct indications LET ESRC taking into consideration clinical-pathological features tumours that may reduce node metastasis zero. Methods. Systematic...
Undetermined thyroid cytology precludes any definitive distinction between malignant and benign lesions. Recently several classifications have been proposed to split this category into two or more cytological subcategories related different malignancy risk rates. The current study was performed retrospectively investigate the results obtained separating "undetermined" cytologic reports categories: "follicular lesion" (FL) "atypia of undetermined significance" (AUS). Biochemical, clinical,...
The evaluation of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status in glioma decision-making process has diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic implications. aim this study was to evaluate whether conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) can noninvasively predict most common IDH mutational (R132H) GIII-astrocytomas overall survival (OS). Hence, twenty-two patients (9-F, 13-M) with a histological diagnosis GIII-astrocytoma IDH-mutation (12-wild...
Previous studies have attempted to forecast the costs of mental health care, using clinical and individual variables; inclusion ecological measures could improve knowledge predictors psychiatric service utilisation support strategic decision-making.Using a Psychiatric Case Register (PCR), all patients with an ICD-10 diagnosis, who had at least one contact community-based services in Verona Health District, Northern Italy, were included study (N = 4558). For each patient, year's total cost...
Rubella, syphilis, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), HIV, Group Streptococcus (GBS) infections may have very severe outcomes during pregnancy, for this reason, monitoring of in pregnant women is a requirement prenatal assistance.To describe coverage outcome the screening rubella, CMV, HBV, HCV, pregnancy Autonomous Province Trento, Northern Italy (538,600 inhabitants).We analysed above-mentioned screenings among who delivered hospitals Trento between 2007...
Embryonal tumors represent a heterogeneous entity of brain that need multidisciplinary treatment including cranio-spinal irradiation (CSI), with known impact on the acute toxicity. Proton therapy (PT) boasts reduction in hematological toxicity.We retrospectively examined 20 pediatric patients affected by high-risk medulloblastoma and other rare embryonal subjected to CSI PT from September 2016 April 2020. Before CSI, all received induction chemotherapy, three additionally two high-dose...
Abstract Aim Conflicting findings have been reported on whether in youths, the double diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD) substantially impacts quality life QoL, compared to subjects with T1D only. Methods In this study, 86 youths their parents were 167 QoL was assessed through KINDL questionnaire. Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies dietary interviews evaluated degree maintaining a gluten-free diet (GFD). Results We found that having CD addition has little effect...
