Which Accessibility for Mountain Natural Environments? The Ski-Ability Project.

The growing desire to live experiences in naturalistic environments that are also opportunities for psycho-physical well-being has meant that the issue of accessibility is now involving environmental contexts that by their nature are often almost inaccessible due to both the morphology of the places and the meteorological-geographical conditions. It is evident that in such contexts the degree of accessibility cannot be fully satised by acting on the environment, it is, therefore, necessary to refer to notions such as reasonable accommodation or equivalent accessibility. In this sense, the degree of accessibility achievable involves more organizational aspects and the provision of special aids, reducing the number and scope of interventions in the physical environment.

Expanding Insights: Harnessing Expansion Microscopy for Super-Resolution Analysis of HIV-1-Cell Interactions.

Expansion microscopy has recently emerged as an alternative technique for achieving high-resolution imaging of biological structures. Improvements in resolution are achieved by physically expanding samples through embedding in a swellable hydrogel before microscopy. However, expansion microscopy has been rarely used in the field of virology.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in Pancreatic Surgery: The Surgeon's Point of View.

Pancreatic surgery is complex and associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality compared to other abdominal surgeries. Over the past decade, the introduction of new technologies, such as minimally invasive approaches, improvements in multimodal treatments, advancements in anesthesia and perioperative care, and better management of complications, have collectively improved patient outcomes after pancreatic surgery. In particular, the adoption of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) recommendations has reduced hospital stays and improved recovery times, as well as post-operative outcomes.

Machine learning-based discrimination of benign and malignant breast lesions on US: The contribution of shear-wave elastography.

Purpose: To build and validate a combined radiomics and machine learning (ML) approach using B-mode US and SWE images to differentiate benign from malignant solid breast lesions (BLs) and compare its performance with that of an expert radiologist.

Methods: Patients with at least one BI-RADS 2-6 BL who performed breast US integrated with SWE were retrospectively included. B-mode US and SWE images were manually segmented to extract radiomics features.
