Purpose: This study examines the multimodal imaging (MMI) findings in two cases of unilateral Stellate Nonhereditary Idiopathic Foveomacular Retinoschisis (SNIFR), including detailed findings from the unaffected fellow eye.
Methods: Macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and 3x3 mm optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), microperimetry, full-field electroretinography (ff-ERG) for both the affected and the fellow eye were reviewed.
Results: The MMI findings were consistent across the two cases (71-year-old female and 60-year-old female).
Background: Serum albumin plays a pivotal role in the exchange between interstitial and vascular compartments, and reduced levels of this biomarker appear to be associated with negative prognosis in septic patients. The correlation between the volume effect in sepsis therapy and the kinetics of serum albumin is unclear.
Aim: To investigate the relationship between serum albumin and fluid bolus in relation to its prognostic role in septic patients.
Article Synopsis
- There is no agreed-upon standard for measuring how well triage systems work, and this study aimed to compare different outcomes used in triage assessments.
- Conducted in the Emergency Department of Merano Hospital, researchers evaluated the Manchester Triage System (MTS) using various outcomes, focusing on predictive capabilities measured by the AUROC statistics.
- Results showed that MTS performed well in terms of objective measures like mortality and ICU admissions, but no single outcome was clearly the best, suggesting a need for expert consensus on evaluating triage system effectiveness.
Background: Approximately 20 % of emergency department (ED) visits involve cardiovascular symptoms. While ECGs are crucial for diagnosing serious conditions, interpretation accuracy varies among emergency physicians. Artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, could assist in ECG interpretation by enhancing diagnostic precision.

The management of CC requires specific skills due to its complex and multifactorial pathophysiology and its multistep treatment. The aims of this study were to evaluate the availability and the use of diagnostic tools for CC in Italy and the therapeutic management of CC by Italian gastroenterologists (GEs).
