Article Synopsis
- The study examines the critical view of safety (CVS) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and highlights that many surgeons struggle to achieve adequate CVS according to expert evaluations, indicating a need for improved teaching methods.
- A comparison was made between surgeon self-assessments (SAs) of their own video performances and assessments made by trained expert raters, showing that surgeons consistently overestimated their skills.
- The results indicated that out of 25 participating surgeons, those who submitted videos did not achieve adequate CVS and exhibited overconfidence in their self-ratings across multiple assessment scales.
is well known to be the primary causal agent of clinical or subclinical mastitis in dairy sheep. The production of virulence factors allows strains to cause mastitis. In the present study, 96 strains isolated from dairy sheep farms ued for the production of autologous vaccines were tested for enterotoxin and hemolysin genes by PCR.

The reported evidence shows that they are also able to interact with mammalian nicotine receptors (nAChRs), triggering detrimental responses in cultured neurons. Exposure to high neonicotinoid levels during the fetal period induces neurotoxicity in animal models.

Abortion is one of the most important causes of economic losses in sheep livestock and, for this reason, it is very important to know, at an early stage, which pathogens caused abortion.
Aim: The aim of the study is to obtain data about the distribution of abortifacient pathogens in the Italian regions of Latium and Tuscany, the awareness of the distribution of infectious agents causing abortion could allow the development of an appropriate vaccination and prophylaxis plan, to avoid major economic losses.
