Assessment and Early Intervention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for a Preterm Infant With Williams Syndrome.

Williams syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple body systems and can lead to developmental delays. Early physical therapy intervention may improve neurodevelopment outcomes for newborns with WS. This case report evaluates the impact of physical therapy on the motor and sensory development of a preterm infant with WS following discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Effect of Physiotherapy on Preterm Neonates and its Results on Five-Year-Old Children, According to GMFM - GMPM Evaluation Scales.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to emphasize the necessity and possibilities of early intervention and physiotherapy rehabilitation of premature infants, as they are reflected in five-year olds according to the gross motor function measure (GMFM) and gross motor performance measure (GMPM) evaluation scales for gross function and quality of movement. In addition, the present study examined the importance of using assessment tools for children who have received or not therapeutic intervention, through which both the child's abilities and appropriateness of the help received by him/her are evaluated based on individual needs.

Material And Methods: Our specific exploratory process was carried out through a literature review as well as a process of primary research, in order to obtain and collect all necessary information and data which would finally lead us to the nearest and best conclusions.

Involved margins after lumpectomy for breast cancer: Always to be re-excised?

Background: The oncologic benefit of upfront re-excision of involved margins after breast-conserving surgery in the context of current multimodal clinical management of breast cancer is unclear. The aim of the present study was to assess the 5-years locoregional recurrence (LRR)-free and distant metastases (DM)-free survival probabilities in patients not undergoing re-excision of positive margins after lumpectomy for breast cancer.

Methods: A cohort of 104 patients with positive margins not undergoing re-excision was matched by propensity score with a cohort of 2006 control patients with clear margins after breast-conserving surgery, treated between 2008 and 2018.

Radio-guided and clip-guided preoperative localization for malignant microcalcifications offer similar performances in breast-conserving surgery.

Obtaining a tailored breast resection is challenging in microcalcifications detected on screening mammography, and an accurate localization is required. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of radio-guided localization (ROLL) versus ultrasound localization of a titanium clip with collagen (TCC) in terms of clear margins, re-intervention rates, excess of resected breast tissue, and operative times in pure malignant microcalcifications detected on screening mammography. Two hundred and twenty-one consecutive patients with malignant microcalcifications detected on screening mammography from a tertiary breast unit were reviewed: 177 patients were localized by TCC and 44 patients by stereotactic ROLL.

Radio-guided vs clip-guided localization of nonpalpable mass-like lesions of the breast from a screened population: A propensity score-matched study.

Background And Objectives: An accurate localization is mandatory to tailor breast lumpectomy in nonpalpable cancers. The aim of this study was to compare radio-guided localization (ROLL) vs ultrasound localization of a titanium clip with collagen (TCC) in nonpalpable mass-like breast cancers.

Methods: Two hundred seventy-three consecutive patients were reviewed: 64 patients were localized by TCC and 209 patients by ROLL.
