Background: Knot security of half-knot (H) sequences varies with rotation, but half-knots risk destabilisation.
Objectives: To investigate the rotation of half-hitch (S) sequences on knot security.
Materials And Methods: The loop and knot security of symmetrical and asymmetrical sliding and blocking half-hitch sequences was measured using a tensiometer.
The loop and knot securities of two polyfilament and two monofilament sutures of four diameters (3.0, 2.0, 0, 1) were evaluated with a tensiometer for four four-throw knots, known to be secure with a 2.

The aim of this study was to analyze AET side effects and their impact on adherence to treatment.
Methods: A total of 373 breast cancer patients treated with AET filled out a specific questionnaire during their follow up visits at the Breast Unit of our Centre.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness and tolerability of a "sandwich" treatment schedule that combines chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) for patients with intermediate-high- and high-risk endometrial cancer (EC).
- Conducted in Torino, Italy, the retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 118 patients over nearly two decades, assessing treatment compliance, toxicities, and survival outcomes.
- Results showed that the "sandwich" schedule achieved a notable disease-free survival rate of 77.6% and overall survival of 54%, with low levels of severe toxicities reported among participants.
