Nighttime light extent and intensity explain the dynamics of human activity in coastal zones.

Studying human activity in coastal areas is crucial for urban planning, sustainability, and economic development. However, there is limited evidence of ongoing monitoring of human activities in these areas. Thus, a quantitative analysis of the spatio-temporal changes, trends, and variability of Nighttime light (NTL) in the Italian Coastal Zone over the past decade (2014-2023) was conducted to assess human activity dynamics.

A set of multidimensional indicators to assess the resilience and attractiveness of Italian provinces and municipalities (2010-2022 panel data).

This article provides a panel dataset on four capital dimensions (economic, human, social and physical) to study and promote the attractiveness and resilience of Italian territories. The dataset is articulated at the provincial and municipal level for the period 2010-2022. Data have been sourced from different open data repositories or collected through scraping downloads and have been elaborated in order to generate novel territorial indicators.

Ideal level of ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery. An old debate for a current surgical approach.

Aim: The ideal level of ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) during resection for colorectal cancer is still controversial. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the real advantages and, above all, the adequacy of oncological staging after a low ligation of the IMA with additional LN retrieval in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2020, 157 patients who underwent curative resection of a primary colorectal tumor were retrospectively included: 64 patients underwent high ligation of the IMA and 93 patients underwent low ligation of the IMA with additional LN retrieval.

[Laparoscopic colostomy, indications and technical notes].

The aim of this article was to review the main indications of laparoscopic colostomy. A series of 9 patients is reported, stressing the technical steps of laparoscopic colostomy. The laparoscopic approach in patients with unresectable colorectal cancer permit to avoidance mayor laparotomy.

[Spontaneous hematoma of the rectus abdominis muscle. A case report].

A case of rectus sheath haematoma and essential thrombocytosis during anticoagulation treatment is described. The difficulties encountered in reaching a clinical, differential diagnosis between rectus sheath haematoma and other abdominal acute conditions are stressed. Computed tomography may prevent inappropriate surgical treatment and its role is emphasized.
