Congenital Bullous Syphilis: A Case Report from Italy and a Comprehensive Literature Review.

Congenital syphilis remains a significant global health concern, with severe morbidity and mortality if undiagnosed and untreated. Although many infants appear asymptomatic at birth, subtle clinical signs-including bullous lesions (congenital bullous syphilis, also known as pemphigus syphiliticus)-may facilitate early detection. Recognizing this rare manifestation is crucial for timely intervention, reducing serious outcomes.

Missing Fundamental Nursing Care: What's the Extent of Missed Oral Care? A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The Fundamentals of Care framework emphasizes a patient-centered approach that prioritizes the nurse-patient relationship and care environment to meet patients' basic needs, including oral hygiene. Recognized as crucial for preventing systemic health problems, oral care neglect is a global concern. Studies identify missed oral care as a widespread issue, contributing to significant patient safety risks.

Quantitative Chest CT Analysis: Three Different Approaches to Quantify the Burden of Viral Interstitial Pneumonia Using COVID-19 as a Paradigm.

To investigate the relationship between COVID-19 pneumonia outcomes and three chest CT analysis approaches. Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who underwent chest CT were included and divided into survivors/non-survivors and intubated/not-intubated. Chest CTs were analyzed through a (1) Total Severity Score visually quantified by an emergency (TSS1) and a thoracic radiologist (TSS2); (2) density mask technique quantifying normal parenchyma (DM_Norm 1) and ground glass opacities (DM_GGO1) repeated after the manual delineation of consolidations (DM_Norm2, DM_GGO2, DM_Consolidation); (3) texture analysis quantifying normal parenchyma (TA_Norm) and interstitial lung disease (TA_ILD).

Diagnostic Performance of Kaiser score in MRI BI-RADS 3 Lesions: A Promising tool to reduce unnecessary biopsies.

Purpose: To evaluate the possibility of reducing unnecessary biopsies in patients with BI-RADS 3 lesions by implementing Kaiser score (KS).

Method: In this retrospective, single-center study, we included 79 female patients with BI-RADS 3 lesions and risk factors who underwent biopsy following magnetic resonance imaging. Three readers (two experienced breast radiologists and a radiology resident) blinded evaluated the lesions using KS.
