Dermoscopic, Histological, Confocal Microscopy Correlation of Atypical-Dysplastic Melanocytic Nevi.

Introduction: The term "atypical melanocytic nevus" (AMN) is used as a synonym for dysplastic nevus (DN) in clinical practice. Although the criteria for diagnosis of AMN/DN by the Agency for Research on Cancer helps to differentiate AMN/DN from common acquired nevi, they do not have high degrees of specificity, as they are similar to those used for the diagnosis of melanoma.

Objectives: In this retrospective study we evaluated the correlation and diagnostic concordance of dermoscopy, confocal microscopy, and histological examination in 50 AMN.

Annular Lichenoid Dermatitis (of Youth).

About 20 years after its first description, Annular Lichenoid Dermatitis of Youth (ALDY) is recognized as a distinctive lichenoid dermatosis with specific clinical and histological features. The disease occurs mostly in young persons all over the world, runs a chronic course, and has an obscure etiopathogenesis. Clinically, lesions consist of persistent, asymptomatic erythematous macules and round-oval annular patches with a red-violaceous non-scaling border and central hypopigmentation, mostly localized on the groin and flanks.

A modified prediction model for VBAC, in a European population.

Objective: The first aim of the study is to validate the Grobman's Nomogram on Italian population, and then to include other variables with the purpose to increase the accuracy of the Nomogram.

Methods: This is a multicenter study in which eligible subjects were pregnant women reaching term having one prior cesarean section (CS) and then choosing for a trial of labor. Multivariate logistic regression model have been performed, and then the predicted percentages of vaginal delivery (VD) success were divided into 10 groups and compared with the observed ones.

Induction of labor in women that had a previous cesarean delivery.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate factors that predict the likelihood of the success of induction of labor (IOL) in women that had a previous cesarean section (pCS).

Methods: Pregnant women with one pCS performed more than 18 months prior were included in this retrospective observational study. Of the 242 eligible women, 234 were enrolled; 120 (51.
