Background: Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation is an important treatment option for patients with advanced CHF. Referral to an early, intensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program in these patients seems still underused. This observational descriptive study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an early intensive CR program in LVAD recipients, also comparing results with a matched group of advanced HFrEF patients.

- Uterine myomas are a common issue for women of reproductive age, leading to the need for effective treatment options, including robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) and traditional laparoscopic myomectomy (LM).
- A study comparing 50 patients (25 RALM, 25 LM) found that RALM had significantly shorter operative times and reduced hospital stays, with an average of 1.2 days compared to 2.9 days for LM.
- However, there were no significant differences in blood loss or hemoglobin levels between the two methods, indicating that while RALM may offer efficiency, both methods are comparable in terms of safety outcomes.
Factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection risk are still debated. This case-control study aims to investigate the possible relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection, evaluated through antibody response, and the main sociodemographic, occupational, clinical-anamnestic, and biochemical factors in a population of Modena province (Northern Italy), mainly workers. Both workers who voluntarily joined the screening campaign proposed by companies and self-referred individuals who underwent serological testing were enrolled.

The frequency-dependent squeezed field is generated by a phase rotation of a frequency-independent squeezed state through a 285 m long, high-finesse, near-detuned optical resonator. With about 8.
