- UV-C radiation is an effective no-touch disinfection method, particularly against health-associated pathogens.
- The study aimed to assess the performance of a UV-C robotic platform in both controlled lab conditions and real hospital environments, measuring its impact on surface contamination.
- Results showed that while UV-C treatment significantly reduced microbial counts (96% reduction after SOP + UV-C), in hospital settings, it required a higher dose compared to lab tests to achieve similar effectiveness.
This narrative review describes the state of the art in the management of anastomotic leakage in ovarian cancer. Multiple surgical procedures, including bowel resection, are often required to achieve "optimal" cytoreduction in locally advanced ovarian cancer. Intestinal anastomosis is currently the most common way to restore bowel continuity.

- The cornea acts as a barrier to protect the eye from harmful external agents, and glucocorticoids are commonly used to treat related infections and disorders.
- This study explored the role of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the cornea, finding that GR signaling significantly influences gene regulation associated with immune responses.
- Mice lacking GRs in their corneal epithelium showed severe eye development issues and an increased inflammatory response, indicating that GR signaling is vital for eye health and development.
The SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 variant, also known as Pirola, has acquired over 30 amino acid changes in the Spike protein, evolving into >150 sublineages within ten months of its emergence.

These conditions are caused by long periods of standing, incorrect postures, repeated movements, little rest between operations, the lack of integrated operator rooms, the correct number and arrangement of monitors and the use of non-ergonomic instruments. This survey aims to assess the Italian overview both highlighting how prevalent surgical-related injury is in our surgeons and whether there is an operating room ergonomics education program in Italian surgical specialty schools.
