The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) launched by the United Nations in 2015 were a global challenge calling for ending poverty, protecting the environment, and guaranteeing peace and prosperity to world citizens by 2030. Brazil has changed gears, accepted the SDG challenge and moved one step forward. On the dawn of January 1st, 2023, the very first day of President Lula's office, Brazil issued the Decree no.

December 2023
Article Synopsis
- Hydrogen cyanamide, a plant growth regulator introduced in Italy, was recalled in 2008 and is currently unauthorized in Europe due to its potential for causing serious health issues, including irritation, organ damage, and dangerous reactions with alcohol.
- A study covering exposures from 2007 to 2021 found that most cases (79%) occurred after the product's market withdrawal, primarily in Sicily, with all instances being unintentional and work-related; a significant portion (41%) involved alcohol co-ingestion.
- Common symptoms included flushing, dyspnoea, and burns, but all patients treated symptomatically fully recovered; the findings highlight ongoing illegal usage and the need for heightened awareness of the risks
Introduction: Until now very few cases of an adverse cardiovascular event have been described following European viper envenomation (Aravanis et al., 1982) (Aravanis et al., 1982) (Aravanis et al.

- Mushroom poisoning, particularly from Chlorophyllum molybdites, is becoming a significant health issue, especially as this mushroom is not native to Italy and is emerging in regions like Sicily.
- A recent case series from Pavia Poison Centre documented 10 incidents of severe gastrointestinal symptoms following ingestion of Chlorophyllum molybdites, with vulnerable patients at risk of hypovolemic shock.
- Collaboration among emergency physicians, toxicologists, and mycologists is crucial for effective treatment, as climate change and migration may increase the spread of these toxic mushrooms and associated health risks.
Background: The implementation of robotics in liver surgery offers several advantages compared to conventional open and laparoscopic techniques. One major advantage is the enhanced degree of freedom at the tip of the robotic tools compared to laparoscopic instruments. This enables excellent vessel control during inflow and outflow dissection of the liver.

Moreover, it is of value for intraoperative visualization of liver segments and bile ducts or primary and secondary liver tumors. Especially in minimally invasive liver surgery, this is essential to enhance the precision of anatomical guided surgery and oncological quality.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) is a feasible and safe procedure for benign and malignant tumors. There has been an ongoing debate on whether conventional laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) or robotic liver resection (RLR) is superior and if one approach should be favored over the other. We started using LLR in 2010, and introduced RLR in 2013.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is increasing in incidence. The aim of this work was to present our experience by reporting short-term and long-term outcomes after MILS for CRLM with comparative analysis of laparoscopic (LLS) and robotic liver surgery (RLS).
Methods: Twenty-five patients with CRLM, who underwent MILS between May 2012 and March 2020, were selected from our retrospective registry of minimally invasive liver surgery (MD-MILS).
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of secondary cataract in phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation using a capsular tension ring in case of zonular dehiscence.
Methods: Phacoemulsification using a double capsular tension ring and intraocular lens implantation was done in 65 eyes with cataract and severe zonular weakness. One year after surgery capsular opacities and fibrosis were detected in a double-blind examination.
To evaluate the efficacy of combined glaucoma surgery, 42 glaucomatous patients were randomly divided into two groups: deep sclerectomy with implant (DS) alone was performed in 21 patients, and combined deep sclerectomy and phacoemulsification (PDS) was performed in the other 21 patients. Follow-up was carried out at regular intervals for 12 months. A comparative study on intraocular pressure (IOP) was designed.

J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc
August 1996
To compare the efficiency of two surgical techniques to remove uterine myomata, 120 premenopausal women were included in this case control study based on the criteria of no previous operations, size of leiomyoma, and age. Sixty patients were treated by laparoscopy (group 1) and 60 by laparotomy (group 2). The hospital stay for group 1 was shorter than that for group 2 (3.
