Clinical performance of subcutaneous vs. transvenous implantable defibrillator in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy: .

Introduction: Subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) is an alternative to a transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD) system in selected patients not in need of pacing or resynchronization. Currently, little is known about the effectiveness and safety of S-ICD in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). The aim of our study was to describe the clinical features and the drivers of S-ICD implantation among patients with ICM, as well as the clinical performance of S-ICD vs.

Reducing diagnostic delays of extraintestinal manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease: a comparative study of a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic versus conventional referral specialists.

Background: Managing extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients remains challenging due to considerable heterogeneity in diagnostic criteria and the lack of a standardised definition and validated diagnostic pathways. Delays in recognising and treating EIMs can lead to significant disease progression. Therefore, early detection and treatment are crucial.

Adiponectin and HMW Oligomers in Relation to Inflammatory Markers in Crohn's Disease Patients.

Crohn's disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal illness, is the result of genetics and environmental factors. Adipose tissue has recently been found to play a significant role in CD. : here, we examined the relationship between adiponectin, HMW oligomers, and CD in 92 patients.

Antibiotic treatment of acute and recurrent otitis media in children: an Italian intersociety Consensus.

Acute Otitis Media (AOM) typically affects previously healthy children and can be recurrent. This inter-society consensus aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for the antibiotic therapy of mild, severe and recurrent otitis media in previously healthy children in Italy.A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the most recent/relevant evidence.
