Long-Term Effectiveness and Safety of Ustekinumab in Crohn's Disease: Results from a Large Real-Life Cohort Study.

Ustekinumab (UST) is an interleukin-12/interleukin-23 receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). Only limited real-life data on the long-term outcomes of CD patients treated with UST are available. This study assessed UST's long-term effectiveness and safety in a large population-based cohort of moderate to severe CD patients.

A Systematic Review on the In Vivo Studies on Radiofrequency (100 kHz-300 GHz) Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Co-Carcinogenesis.

In this systematic review, the potential role of in vivo RF-EMF exposure combined with the administration of well-known carcinogens in tumor promotion/progression is assessed. A total of 25 papers were included in the review. Each paper was assessed for Risk of Bias and for the attribution of the quality category.

Non-invasive respiratory support in SARS-CoV-2 related acute respiratory distress syndrome: when is it most appropriate to start treatment?

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the most severe complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Non-Invasive Respiratory Support (NRS) as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and/or Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) has been proven as effective in the management of SARS-CoV-2-related ARDS. However, the most appropriate timing for start NRS is unknown.

Description, Organization, and Individual Postgraduate Perspectives of One Italian School of Anesthesia and Intensive Care.

Introduction: The study aims to describe the organization of one accredited school of Anesthesia and Intensive Care of University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. The analysis of the post-graduation period aims to measure the time-to-first job, the perceived challenges, what postgraduate residents choose as first employ, and the overall satisfaction rating of a cohort of residents completing their training until 2017 with the usual and standard training program.

Methods: We collected organization and administrative records of the five-year program of the A-IC School of 4 cohorts of residents who joined from 2009 to 2012 and we performed a survey.

Patient Satisfaction with Oral versus Intravenous Sedation for Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Purpose: To determine whether patient satisfaction with oral sedation is noninferior to intravenous sedation for cataract surgery.

Design: Prospective, randomized, double-masked clinical trial.

Participants: A volunteer sample of patients 18 years or older from diverse backgrounds scheduled for cataract surgery.

An observation unit may help improve an institution's Press Ganey satisfaction score.

Background: : Hospitals measure patient satisfaction through Press Ganey (PG) surveys. The impact of an emergency department observation unit (EDOU) on patient satisfaction has not been reported to date. We hypothesize that an EDOU has a positive impact on patient satisfaction results as measured by PG surveys.

[Behavior of systolic blood pressure during recovery phase after bicycle ergometric test. Its value in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease].

The diagnostic utility of an abnormal decrease in systolic blood pressure (PAS) after exercise, have been evaluated by an index obtained by the ratio between PAS at the maximal stage of exercise and PAS at the 1', 3' and 5' of recovery (PAS index). The 58 patients studied have been divided in two groups: group A, 32 patients, aged 33-66 (means 51.5) with angina pectoris and significant coronary stenosis; group B, 26 subjects, aged 27-39 (mean 34.
