Accumulating senescent cells within tissues contribute to the progression of aging and age-related diseases. Botanical extracts, rich in phytoconstituents, present a useful resource for discovering therapies that could target senescence thus improve healthspan. Here, we show daily oral administration standardized extract Salvia haenkei (Haenkenium (HK)) extended lifespan healthspan naturally aged mice. HK treatment inhibited age-induced inflammation, fibrosis markers across several tissues,...
Bone and soft tissue pediatric sarcomas metastasize to the lungs, computed tomography (CT) represents diagnostic gold standard. We aimed investigate accuracy of turbo inversion recovery magnitude (TIRM), inverted TIRM (inverted [iTIRM]), T1-weighted (T1w) controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA) DIXON with water contrast for diagnosis lung metastases children who underwent 18F-fluorydexoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance...
The aim of this study was to compare F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) (with and without diffusion-weighted imaging [DWI]) F-FDG PET/computed (CT), with regard the assessment nodal extranodal involvement, in patients Hodgkin lymphoma non-Hodgkin lymphoma, restriction FDG-avid subytpes.Patients histologically proven were enrolled prospective, institutional review board-approved study. After a single injection, consecutively underwent...
Appropriate imaging is essential in the treatment of children and adolescents with rhabdomyosarcoma. For adequate stratification optimal individualised local utilising surgery radiotherapy, high-quality crucial. The paediatric radiologist, therefore, an member multi-disciplinary team providing clinical care research. This manuscript presents European rhabdomyosarcoma guideline, based on recently developed guideline Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG) Imaging Committee. was...
Purpose To evaluate if reduced muscle mass, assessed with Computed Tomography (CT), is a predictor of intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization in COVID-19 patients. Methods In this Institution Review Board approved study, we retrospectively evaluated patients treated our tertiary center from March to November 2020 who underwent an unenhanced chest CT scan within three weeks hospitalization.We recorded the mean Hounsfield Unit (Hu) value right paravertebral at level 12 th thoracic vertebra,...
Background Few is known about the long-term pulmonary sequelae after COVID-19 infection. Hence, aim of this study to characterize patients with persisting at follow-up hospitalization. We also aimed explore clinical and radiological predictors fibrosis following COVID-19. Methods Two hundred 20 consecutive were evaluated 3–6 months discharge high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) categorized as recovered (REC) or not (NOT-REC). Both HRCTs hospitalization (HRCT 0 ), when available, HRCT 1...
Patients with connective tissue diseases can develop interstitial lung disease (ILD), leading to a progressive fibrosing ILD (PF-ILD) phenotype in some cases. We aimed investigate the occurrence of PF-ILD idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), and factors potentially predicting this phenotype. Secondary aims were assess radiological pattern associated IIMs-ILD.Patients IIMs from our multicentric prospective cohort retrospectively evaluated. Data recorded at diagnosis, during follow-up....
The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance simultaneous whole-body Ga-DOTANOC PET/MRI compared with PET/CT for detection distant metastatic disease in patients well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).Patients histologically proven, NET (G1 or G2) were included prospective, institutional review board-approved study. Patients underwent and subsequent after a single tracer injection on same day staging restaging purposes. Images evaluated presence lesions by 2 rater...
An increasing number of reports have described the COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) as being a further contributing factor to mortality. Based on recent consensus statement supported by international medical mycology societies, it has been proposed define CAPA possible, probable, or proven basis sample validity and thus diagnostic certainty. Considering current challenges associated with diagnoses, there is pressing need study epidemiology CAPA.We report incidence...
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a pathological outcome of chronic and acute interstitial lung diseases associated to compromised wound healing, is key component the "post-acute COVID-19 syndrome" that may severely complicate patients' clinical course. Although inconclusive, available data suggest more than third hospitalized patients develop fibrotic abnormalities after their discharge from hospital. The pathogenesis PF in recovering severe case complex, several hypotheses have been formulated...
Objectives This study aims to establish expert consensus recommendations for clinical information on imaging requests in suspected/known axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), focusing enhancing diagnostic clarity and patient care through guidelines. Materials methods A specialised task force was formed, comprising 7 radiologists, 11 rheumatologists from the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) a representative. Using Delphi method, two rounds surveys were conducted among...
The current global outbreak of COVID-19 represents a major challenge in terms epidemiology, contagiousness, treatment, as well clinical and radiological behavior this disease. Radiological imaging plays key role the diagnostic process during monitoring conditions especially patients with severe symptoms. According to preliminary data collected our tertiary center, we have documented peculiar requiring endotracheal intubation who underwent seriate chest X-rays. In fact, pattern may worsen...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumopathy is characterized by a complex clinical picture and heterogeneous pathological lesions, both involving alveolar vascular components. The severity distribution of morphological lesions associated with SARS-CoV-2 how they relate to clinical, laboratory, radiological data have not yet been studied systematically. main goals the present study were objectively identify phenotypes factors that, in addition SARS-CoV-2, may...
The knee is one of the most commonly affected joints in course inflammatory arthropathies, such as crystal-induced and autoimmune arthritis. latter group includes systemic connective tissue diseases spondyloarthropathies. different pathogenesis these entities results their varied radiologic images. Some lead quickly to joint destruction, others only after many years, remaining, destruction will not be a distinguishing feature.Radiography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging have...
