Mondor's Disease in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Case of Superficial Vein Thrombosis in the Era of COVID-19.

Unlabelled: SARS-CoV-2 causes blood hypercoagulability and severe inflammation resulting in an increased risk of thrombosis. Consequently, COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease seem to be at higher risk of adverse events. Mondor's disease is a rare, generally self-limiting, thrombosis of the penis.

The recovery of waste and off-gas in Large Combustion Plants subject to IPPC National Permit in Italy.

The recovery of off-gas, waste, and biomass in Large Combustion Plants for energy production gives the opportunity to recycle waste and by-products and to recover materials produced in agricultural and industrial activities. The paper illustrates the Italian situation regarding the production of energy from off-gas, biomass, and waste in Large Combustion Plants subject to Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) National Permit. Moreover, it focuses on the 4 Italian Large Combustion Plants producing energy from biomass and waste.

Uncommon complication of endoscopic ureterolithotripsy: the stone granuloma.

Endoscopic management of urolithiasis is one of the commonest urological procedures today. It is usually safe and effective but one of the possible complications is ureteral obstruction. Stone fragmentation after ballistic lithotripsy and ureteral wall perforation could explain the mechanism responsible for this occurrence.

[Ultrasonographic assessment of bladder volume].

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate intra and inter-observatory variability in the sonography measurement of bladder volume.

Materials And Methods: We have evaluated 138 patients (128 men and 10 women) affected by lower urinary tract symptoms with a mean age of 64 years (range 36-75) between December 2000 and June 2001. Sonography measurement of bladder volume was obtained at the end of a pressure/flow study with the double lumen catheter in situ.

[Percutaneous treatment of varicocele: considerations and our experience].

Unlabelled: Due to its high incidence and its affecting male infertility, varicocele is an important disease. Consequently, it is essential to choose the best treatment.

Materials And Methods: Since 1999 to 2000, 75 patients affected by varicocele (mean age 25 years) underwent percutaneous retrograde sclerotherapy through a right transfemoral approach.
