To analyze the microscopic anatomy of the human uterine cervix in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) images obtained by microtomography (microCT). Human uterine cervixes surgically removed for benign gynecologic conditions were immersed in formalin and iodine solution for more than 72 h and images were acquired by microtomography. In total, 10 cervical specimens were evaluated.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by noncaseating granulomas. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis is based on three criteria: clinical history, consistent imaging findings, and histopathology. Radiologists play an important role for the diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of patients with sarcoidosis, which often require a multimodal approach.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study of the computed tomography pulmonary angiography findings of 65 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 included 27 women and 38 men, with a median age of 52 years (range, 20-86 years). The diagnosis of COVID-19 was established through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
Background: Anthelmintic resistance (AR) is a global threat to grazing livestock farming. In Italy, anthelmintic efficacy remains high compared to other European countries, but many parts of the country haven't been investigated yet. Local veterinary practitioners from Trentino and Veneto regions reported suspected inefficacy towards anthelmintic drugs in some of their farms, prompting a study on AR in sheep and goat farms of northern Italy.

- Surfaces of magnetic materials, through various alterations like roughness and defects, can significantly impact their magnetic order, especially in non-centrosymmetric magnets.
- Using scanning SQUID microscopy, researchers studied the surface of CuOSeO under low temperatures and magnetic fields to visualize and analyze its magnetic phases and transitions.
- In low applied fields, they identified an in-plane stripe phase, while in the low-temperature skyrmion phase, disordered skyrmion clusters emerged, and they demonstrated the ability to manipulate individual skyrmions using an electric potential.
Non-human primates (NHPs) host a variety of helminth and protist parasites that are able to cause infection in humans. Gastrointestinal parasites in NHPs living in two zoological gardens of Northern Italy were studied. An total of 96 faecal pools were collected from 26 groups of NHPs.

Method: A prospective and cross-sectional study was carried out between March 2020 and December 2022 among women with clinical and ultrasound diagnosis of UM who would subsequently undergo radiofrequency ablation. Ultrasound examination was performed using both transvaginal and transabdominal routes.
Objective: Acute aortic dissection remains a serious emergency in the field of cardiovascular medicine and a challenge for cardiothoracic surgeons. In the present study, we seek to compare the outcomes of different surgical techniques in the repair of type A acute aortic dissection.
Methods: Between April 2015 and May 2023, 213 patients (82 women, aged: 63.
Article Synopsis
- The tapeworm Dipylidium caninum is a common parasite in dogs, cats, and humans, with diagnosis typically relying on observing segments in feces or using microscopy, both of which may miss infections.
- A study was conducted on 100 cats in Italy and Greece, comparing various sampling methods (feces, Scotch tape test, and rectal swab) to test for D. caninum using PCR, which is a more sensitive detection method.
- Results indicated that while PCR could effectively identify D. caninum in certain samples, it also faced challenges like false negatives and variability in parasite distribution, highlighting its potential as a diagnostic tool under specific conditions.
Background: Pediatric obesity represents one of the most important public health challenges and its prevalence significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our prospective study aimed to assess the feasibility of a remote adapted physical activity (PA) intervention and its effectiveness in improving anthropometric indices, metabolic health parameters, as well as cardiopulmonary function and fitness in adolescents with obesity.
Methods: A PA intervention involving synchronous online lessons combined with asynchronous sessions and promotion of independent PA and "active breaks" to interrupt prolonged sedentary behaviors was proposed to 20 adolescents aged 11-17 years with obesity over a 4-month period.
