Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on evaluating the learning curves of two surgeons with different laparoscopic experiences performing robotic liver resections at San Raffaele Hospital, using cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis on surgeries performed since February 2021.
- - Results indicated that both surgeons improved their operative times after performing a set number of cases, with the Pioneer Surgeon and New Generation Surgeon needing 15 and 10 low- to intermediate-complexity cases respectively, and 10 and 18 high-complexity cases.
- - The findings highlight that team collaboration significantly impacts the learning process, revealing that after 12 cases, a "team learning curve" was evident, showing the effectiveness of working together in surgical settings.
The acute hemodynamic response to isometric exercise in hypertensive patients' ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to assess acute changes in left ventricular myocardial work (MW) during isometric bilateral knee extension in patients with IHD. Twenty stable hypertensive patients with IHD and ten healthy, age-matched controls (HC) were enrolled.

The effects of exercise training on the atrial function in patients with ICM have been poorly investigated. In the present study, we assessed the effects of a 12-week combined training (CT) program on the left atrial function in patients with ICM.

- The study analyzes the economic impact of robotic liver surgery (RLS) versus laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS) and open liver surgery (OLS), focusing on complex liver resections.
- The research compares costs and perioperative outcomes using a time-driven activity-based costing (TD-ABC) model, examining patient data from two Italian hospitals.
- Findings suggest RLS has higher initial costs but leads to better outcomes like reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays, ultimately providing economic advantages over OLS.
Campylobacter fetus is an important veterinary pathogen that causes campylobacteriosis. This disease causes decreased productivity of cattle by inducing reproductive losses. Although several virulence factors have been recognized in C.
