- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of routine histopathological exams for patients undergoing sigmoidectomy due to diverticular disease after having a colonoscopy within a year prior.
- - A total of 207 patients were analyzed, revealing only a small percentage (3.9%) had unexpected findings during histopathological exams, most of which were clinically insignificant.
- - The findings suggest that preoperative colonoscopy results were highly reliable in predicting histopathological outcomes, indicating that routine exams may not be necessary for all patients.
Background: Recently, the development of advanced, noninvasive methods has allowed the study of respiratory function even in uncooperative infants. To date, there is still little data on the application of this technique in infants with suspected airway obstruction.
The Aims Of Our Study Were: - To evaluate the role of respiratory function testing (PFR) in the diagnosis and follow-up of infants with stridor - To evaluate the differences between patients with inspiratory stridor and expiratory stridor.
Background: The term "sharenting" describes the increasingly popular habit of parents to share photos, videos, or other information regarding their children on their social profiles, through online platforms.

This study aims to investigate whether variables such as parents' age, gender, marital status, occupation and educational level influence the practice of sharing child-related content and the degree of awareness.

The aim of our study was to assess safety and feasibility of the robotic-assisted treatment of paraesophageal hernias in the emergency setting. At the Bellinzona e Valli Regional Hospital, Switzerland, we conducted a retrospective analysis of patients operated on from January 2020 to January 2024 with robotic surgery for emergency presentation of paraesophageal hernias.
