Gonadal vein leiomyosarcoma, from clinical practice to a literature review: surgical, oncological and histopathologic correlation.

Background And Aim: Vascular leiomyosarcomas are rare and generally originate from the muscular wall of the inferior vena cava. Leiomyosarcomas originating from the wall of the gonadal veins are rare and just about ten cases are described in literature. In the present paper, we have described a case of a LMS originating from the left gonadal vein.

Gene Regulatory Network Characterization of Gastric Cancer's Histological Subtypes: Distinctive Biological and Clinically Relevant Master Regulators.

Gastric cancer (GC) molecular heterogeneity represents a major determinant for clinical outcomes, and although new molecular classifications have been introduced, they are not easy to translate from bench to bedside. We explored the data from GC public databases by performing differential gene expression analysis (DEGs) and gene network reconstruction to identify master regulators (MRs), as well as a gene set analysis (GSA) to reveal their biological features. Moreover, we evaluated the association of MRs with clinicopathological parameters.

Telerehabilitation Policy Report: Interprofessional Policy Principles and Priorities.

The American Occupational Therapy Association, the American Physical Therapy Association, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the American Telemedicine Association are collaborating to advance telehealth and ensure sustainability of virtual care services beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. These professional associations represent the interests of more than 888,000 rehabilitation services professionals. This paper summarizes the current state of telehealth policy principles and priorities for rehabilitation services.

Developing and piloting a communication assessment tool assessing patient perspectives on communication with pharmacists (CAT-Pharm).

Background: Effective communication strategies in health care help to enhance patient empowerment and improve clinical outcomes.

Objective: Adapt the original Communication Assessment (CAT) instrument for the pharmacist profession (CAT-Pharm) and to test its validity and reliability in two different settings.

Setting: Five hospital pharmacies in Italy and five community pharmacies in Malta.

Assessment of surgeon communication skills from the patient perspective: A national evaluation using the Communication Assessment Tool.

Objective: The Communication Assessment Tool (CAT) has previously been translated and adapted to the Italian context. This national study aimed to validate the CAT and evaluate communication skills of practicing surgeons from the patient perspective.

Methods: CAT consists of 14 items associated with a 5-point scale (5 = excellent); results are reported as the percent of ''excellent'' scores.
