Article Synopsis
- - Mesenchymal tumors, which arise from mesenchymal cells, can be benign or malignant and often require complex surgical procedures for treatment; however, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a need for non-surgical alternatives due to limited surgical resources.
- - This review discusses various non-surgical treatments, including active surveillance, cryoablation, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, aimed at improving surgical outcomes, serving as pre-surgery bridges, or providing non-curative options when surgery isn't feasible.
- - The Sarculator tool is mentioned as a means to personalize treatment plans for high-risk sarcoma patients, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in referral centers to optimize treatment strategies.
This exploratory study aimed to investigate the relationship between interoceptive sensibility and quality of consciousness in individuals with insomnia disorder, in order to understand how the modulation of internal states may contribute to modifying the experience of consciousness during sleep difficulties. A total of 37 patients with insomnia disorder (mean age = 46.05 ± 18.

We conducted a retrospective analysis to corroborate the role of SUPR by the RANO-Resect Classification in a single center, homogenous cohort of patients.
Methods: Records of patients operated for WHO-2021 Glioblastomas at our institution between 2007 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed; volumetric data of resected lesions were computed and classified by RANO-Resect criteria.
Background: Total marrow (lymphoid) irradiation (TMI/TMLI) is a radiotherapy treatment used to selectively target the bone marrow and lymph nodes in conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A complex field geometry is needed to cover the large planning target volume (PTV) of TMI/TMLI with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Five isocenters and ten overlapping fields are needed for the upper body, while, for patients with large anatomical conformation, two specific isocenters are placed on the arms.
