Article Synopsis
- * Out of 1,083 TAVI patients, 165 experienced conduction abnormalities; 19 of these (11.5%) did not have a clear guideline indication for pacing but still underwent the procedure.
- * After 6 weeks, most patients with pacemakers showed low pacing amounts and good intrinsic heart rhythms, indicating a low risk of significant heart issues, and suggesting effective strategies to minimize unnecessary ventricular pacing.
Background: During the SARS-CoV-2 testing program offered through the RT-PCR test by Sapienza University of Rome, we conducted a test-negative case-control study to identify risk factors for acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection among university students.
Methods: Each SARS-CoV-2-positive case detected was matched to two controls randomly selected from students who tested negative on the same day. 122 positive students and 244 negative students were enrolled in the study.
Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection of deep-seated lung nodules smaller than 1 cm is extremely challenging. Several methods have been proposed to overcome this limitation but with not neglectable complications. Intraoperative lung ultrasound (ILU) is the latest minimally invasive proposed technique.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFemale urethral adenocarcinoma (FUA) is extremely rare. It is an aggressive malignancy, and clear cell and columnar/mucinous ("intestinal") represent the two primary histologic subtypes. Diagnosis is often delayed in patients because of their vague symptomatology; hence, they present with an advanced disease and a poor prognosis.

Background: To safely resume in-person activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sapienza University of Rome implemented rigorous infection prevention and control measures, a successful communication campaign and a free SARS-CoV-2 testing program. In this study, we describe the University's experience in carrying out such a program in the context of the COVID-19 response and identify risk factors for infection.
Methods: Having identified resources, space, supplies and staff, from March to June 2021 Sapienza offered to all its enrollees a molecular test service (8.
