Objective: To review the published cases of meningioma en plaque of the temporal bone (TB-MEP), to gather evidence on the clinical assessment and management of this rare entity.
Methods: Following PRISMA statement recommendations, 383 abstracts were screened independently by two authors. Inclusion criteria were articles of human patients affected by TB-MEP; English or Italian language; availability of the abstract articles unrelated to TB-MEP, guidelines and systematic reviews were excluded.
Different patterns of pre-excitation in a large Italian cohort of asymptomatic non-competitive athletes evaluated by telecardiology screening: Prevalence and ECG features.
Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Telecardiology effectively enables ECG screening for large groups, successfully evaluating non-competitive athletes (NCA) across Italy over a four-year study period.
- - In a sample of 216,424 NCA, 88 individuals (4.1 per 10,000) were identified with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, primarily in the 10-15 year age group, with no significant sex differences noted.
- - The study revealed that the most common accessory pathways for WPW syndrome were in the right antero-septal, mid-septal, and postero-septal areas, with 9% of those diagnosed exhibiting intermittent pre-excitation.
Endoscopic ear surgery has gained increasing popularity starting from the early 2000s, introducing new anatomical, physiological and surgical concepts in ear and lateral skull base surgery. Its development has brought new scientific knowledge, thus improving surgical technique with a minimally invasive attitude. The aim of this perspective is to review and summarize all the steps that brought endoscopic ear surgery from a surgery practiced by a few teams to a worldwide recognized advancement in otology.

- * Disrupting lipid rafts, which are involved in the bacteria's entry into cells, can reduce S. aureus internalization, offering a potential strategy to improve treatment effectiveness.
- * The study identified alpha-hemolysin (Hla) as a key factor needed for the bacteria to enter lung cells, with caveolin-1 playing a critical role as a receptor for this process, underscoring the significance of lipid rafts in bacterial invasion.
