Italian Search and Rescue Seaplanes From the 50s to the 70s: A Brave People and Mighty Aircraft Story.

Following a previous article that described the early days of Italian air rescue and that reached up to the immediate postwar period (World War II), this article describes the search and rescue activity carried out by the Italian Grumman Albatross HU-16A from the postwar period until the end of the 70s.

Contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) guided biopsy using a prone table: A retrospective analysis of the preliminary experience in a single CEM referral center.

Background: This study evaluates the procedural efficacy and patient experience of Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM)-guided biopsies performed in a prone position using the Giotto Class 30,000 system. The emphasis is on the procedural advantages and clinical outcomes for "enhancing-only lesions" (EOLs).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 524 CEM examinations conducted from December 2023 to June 2024 at a tertiary referral center was performed.

Non-pathogenic E. coli displaying decoy-resistant IL18 mutein boosts anti-tumor and CAR NK cell responses.

The tumor microenvironment can inhibit the efficacy of cancer therapies through mechanisms such as poor trafficking and exhaustion of immune cells. Here, to address this challenge, we exploited the safety, tumor tropism and ease of genetic manipulation of non-pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) to deliver key immune-activating cytokines to tumors via surface display on the outer membrane of E.

Neurocognitive mechanisms of emotional interference in native and foreign languages: evidence from proficient bilinguals.

Currently available data show mixed results as to whether the processing of emotional information has the same characteristics in the native (L1) as in the second language (L2) of bilinguals. We conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment to shed light on the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying bilinguals' emotional processing in L1 and L2 during an emotional interference task (i.e.

Performance of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) for Monitoring Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response among Different Breast Cancer Subtypes.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAT) plays a crucial role in breast cancer (BC) treatment, both in advanced BC and in early-stage BC, with different rates of pathological complete response (pCR) among the different BC molecular subtypes. Imaging monitoring is mandatory to evaluate the NAT efficacy. This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) in BC patients undergoing NAT.
