Genotoxic properties of essential oils from Anthemis nobilis L., Artemisia dracunculus Salvia officinalis sclarea Satureja hortensis montana Thymus capitatus citriodorus Schreb., vulgaris Citrus bergamia Risso, were studied with Bacillus subtilis rec-assay and Salmonella/microsome reversion assay. The oil L. "Piemontese" turned out to be active in the but not Salmonella test. DNA-damaging activity was demonstrated due estragol component oil. Advantages combined use these two short-term...
ABSTRACT Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a well‐established treatment for chronic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), including urge incontinence, urgency frequency syndrome and dysfunctional voiding with nonobstructive retention. Despite its efficacy, the precise mechanism of SNM remains unknown. Effective use hinges on electrode placement near S3 or S4 sacral spinal nerves proper programming neurostimulator. With advancements in technology, devices have become more efficient, their...
To assess the survival outcomes of adjuvant radiation therapy (aRT) versus observation with or without early salvage RT (Obs±esRT) for cN0M0 pN1 PCa and to create a model clinical decision making. We retrospectively identified 1,103 patients after surgery ( 2000-2021) at 18 referral centers. Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox proportional hazards were used. Overall, 670 (61%) had ISUP 4-5 median number positive nodes was 1. On multivariable analyses, ≥3 (HR 2.03,95% CI 1.22-3.37; p=0.006) 5 1.92,95%...
ObjectivesTo report the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based software to allow for autonomous fusion transrectal ultrasound and multiparametric magnetic resonance images prostate be used during transperineal biopsies.Materials MethodsThis study was approved by Institutional Review Board (protocol ID3167CESC). The automatic biopsy involved three steps: 1) Developing an AI component segment ultrasound; 2) anatomical structures in using labeled datasets from Cancer Imaging Archive...
Treatment options for the management of upper tract urothelial cancer are based on accurate staging. However, performance conventional cross-sectional imaging clinical lymph node staging (N-staging) remains poorly investigated. This study aims to evaluate diagnostic accuracy N-staging.This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. We included 865 nonmetastatic (M0) patients treated with curative intended surgery and dissection who had been staged before surgery. compared (c)...
Objective To determine the oncological impact of extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) vs standard PLND (sPLND) during radical cystectomy (RC) in clinically node‐positive (cN+) bladder cancer (BCa). Patients and Methods In this retrospective, multicentre study we included 969 patients who underwent RC with sPLND (internal/external iliac obturator nodes) or ePLND (sPLND plus common presacral without platin‐based peri‐operative chemotherapy for cTany N1‐3 M0 BCa between 1991 2022. We...
Purpose We assessed the prognostic impact of 2012 Briganti nomogram on prostate cancer (PCa) progression in intermediate-risk (IR) patients presenting with PSA <10ng/mL, ISUP grade group 3, and clinical stage up to cT2b treated robot assisted radical prostatectomy eventually associated extended pelvic lymph node dissection. Materials Methods From January 2013 December 2021, data surgically IR PCa were retrospectively evaluated. Only above-mentioned features considered. The was either as a...
The concentrations of the volatile organic compounds truffle Tuber borchii have been determined by gas solid extraction and purge trap injection in GC–MS, their variations were observed during storage. In fresh samples 1-octen-3-ol is main product, together with lower amounts alcohols, aldehydes 2- 3-methylthiophenes as only sulphur compounds. release (E)-2-pentenal most important degradation pattern at low temperatures, while bis-3-methylbutyl disulphide, 2-methyl-4,5-dihydrothiophene...
The biovariability of Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John's Wort) grown wild in Calabria and Sardinia (Italy) was reported with the aim to characterize species through isolation, detection, quantitative evaluations chemical markers (hypericin, quercetin, rutin) by HPLC analysis. Antioxidant activity methanolic H. extracts showed that Calabrian samples were more active than those from Sardinia. antibacterial evidenced best performance on gram positive bacteria a MIC value 50 µg/mL. Moreover,...
The biovariability of Helichrysum italicum (Roth) Don grown wild in Calabria and Sardinia (Italy) was reported. This species has been characterized through the detection, isolation quantitative evaluation chemical markers (alpha-terpinolene, trans-cariophyllene neryl acetate) by GC GC-MS. Antioxidant activity methanolic H. extracts using DPPH beta-carotene bleaching test showed that Calabrian samples were more active than those from Sardinia. antibacterial all evidenced best performance on...
The aim is to evaluate factors impacting operating time (OT) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with or without extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) for prostate cancer.
Abstract The study aimed to test if Briganti’s 2012 nomogram could be associated with the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression in European Association Urology (EAU) intermediate-risk patients treated robotic surgery. From January 2013 December 2021, 527 consecutive belonging EAU class were selected. nomogram, which predicts pelvic lymph node invasion (PLNI), was assessed as a continuous and dichotomous variable that categorized up median 3.0%. Disease defined biochemical recurrence...
