This research seeks to investigate correlations between enlarged Perivascular Spaces (PVSs) and clinical/imaging data, such as information obtained through Doppler analysis, in a population with young and middle-age stroke. We retrospectively reviewed demographics, clinical and MRI data, of 163 patients, with MRI confirmed stroke. All patients underwent ECD TSA (Eco-Color-Doppler of the Supra-aortic Trunks) and TCCD (Transcranial Eco-color-Doppler), to study extra or intracranial stenosis, presence and composition of plaques.

By comparison with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS), this study aimed to identify ictal electro-clinical features that might help clinicians recognize ALE-related seizures.
Methods: This retrospective, multi-centre study analysed the ictal semiology and EEG correlate of 116 video-EEG-captured seizures in 40 ALE patients and 45 ones recorded in 21 MTLE-HS subjects.
Article Synopsis
- * A clinical study at "Renato Dulbecco" University Hospital examined how sex affects pain treatment between February 2021 and April 2024, enrolling 174 patients who met specific criteria.
- * Findings showed minimal differences in treatment outcomes and dosages between males and females, indicating no significant disparities in pain management or side effects based on sex.
Recently, volatile organic compound (VOC) determination in exhaled breath has seen growing interest due to its promising potential in early diagnosis of several pathological conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, this study aimed to identify the breath VOC pattern providing an accurate, reproducible and fast CKD diagnosis at early stages of disease. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, enrolling a total of 30 subjects matched for age and gender.

- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of dual-energy subtraction (DES) imaging across three contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) systems using a specialized phantom, measuring image quality and radiation dose.
- - Results indicated that the system labeled CEM1 had significantly better contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) results than CEM2 and CEM3, while also maintaining the lowest mean glandular dose (MGD).
- - The findings underscored the differences in performance among the DES algorithms of various CEM systems, emphasizing the importance of these variances for both image contrast enhancement and radiation exposure.
