Predictors of Recurrence After Curative Surgery for Stage I Colon Cancer: Retrospective Cohort Analysis of the Italian Society of Surgical Oncology Colorectal Cancer Network Collaborative Group.

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide solid evidence to update the management of stage I colon cancer (CC) after surgery.

Background: Given the low risk of recurrence of stage I CC, some international guidelines do not recommend intensive follow-up after surgery. However, data on the actual incidence, risk factors, and site of recurrences are scarce.

Superior Capsular Reconstruction of the Shoulder with Long Head of Biceps Autograft vs. Achilles Tendon Allograft: A 2-Year Comparative Study.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical-functional outcomes, healing rates, complications, and surgical time in patients treated with superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) using long head of the biceps autograft (LHB) and Achilles allograft (AA).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 24 patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus, treated with SCR. Two treatment groups were formed: one with 12 cases using AA and another with 12 cases using LHB.

Evaluation of Trends in Influenza A and B Viruses in Wastewater and Human Surveillance Data: Insights from the 2022-2023 Season in Italy.

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a recognized, dynamic approach to monitoring the transmission of pathogens in communities through urban wastewater. This study aimed to detect and quantify influenza A and B viruses in Italian wastewater during the 2022-2023 season (October 2022 to April 2023). A total of 298 wastewater samples were collected from 67 wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) across the country.

Food choice and neural reward systems in adolescents with anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa.

Background: Adolescence is a critical developmental period for the study of anorexia nervosa (AN), an illness characterized by extreme restriction of food intake. The maturation of the reward system during adolescence combined with recent neurobiological models of AN led to the hypothesis that early on in illness, restrictive food choices would be associated with activity in nucleus accumbens reward regions, rather than caudate regions identified among adults with AN.

Methods: Healthy adolescents (HC, n = 41) and adolescents with AN or atypical AN (atypAN, n = 76) completed a Food Choice Task during fMRI scanning.
