Guided Superficial Enhanced Fluid Fat Injection (SEFFI) Procedures for Facial Rejuvenation: An Italian Multicenter Retrospective Case Report.

Background: The aging process starts in the center of the face, in the periocular region and around the mouth, with a combination of volume loss, tissue descent, deepened wrinkles, and the loss of skin structure and quality. Recently, several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of therapies based on autologous adipose tissue grafting, which leverages the properties of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) to accelerate the regenerative processes of the skin. This study aims to verify the ability of guided superficial enhanced fluid fat injection (SEFFI) in the facial area to correct volume loss and skin aging, proving that this standardized procedure has a very low rate of complications.

Operative treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations graded Rockwood III-V: a retrospective and comparative study between three different surgical techniques.

Background: the optimal treatment of acute type III-V acromioclavicular (A-C) Rockwood dislocations is still a matter of discussion in orthopaedic surgery.

Aim Of The Work: retrospective and comparative evaluation of the clinical and radiographic results of three different surgical techniques for stabilization of A-C joint using tension band wiring, hook plate and TightRope.

Methods: a consecutive series of patients, treated from January 2014 and November 2019, were divided into three groups according to the surgical method used.

Hip arthroscopy with initial access to the peripheral compartment provides significant improvement in FAI patients.

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) using the technique of initial access to the peripheral compartment. It is based on a single surgeon large case series with a minimum of 2 years follow-up.

Methods: Prospective longitudinal study with consecutive patients.

Epidemiological and clinical features of imported malaria at the three main hospitals of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region, Italy.

Background: Imported malaria cases continue to occur in non-endemic regions among travellers returning from tropical and subtropical countries. At particular risk of acquiring malaria is the group of travellers identified as immigrants who return to their home country with the specific intent of visiting friends or relatives (VFRs) and who commonly believe they are immune to malaria and fail to seek pre-travel advice. Our aim was to review the current trends of imported malaria in the three main hospitals of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region (FVG), North Eastern Italy, focusing in particular on patient characteristics and laboratory findings.

Evaluation of the new Sysmex UF-5000 fluorescence flow cytometry analyser for ruling out bacterial urinary tract infection and for prediction of Gram negative bacteria in urine cultures.

Background: We evaluated the new flow cytometer UF-5000 with a blue semiconductant laser as a screening tool for ruling out urine samples negative for UTI and its ability to predict Gram negatives in culture.

Methods: Flow cytometry and microbiological analysis were performed on 2719 urine samples, sent to our microbiology laboratory with a request for urine culture.

Results: UF-5000 showed a very good performance in the screening process.
