Light Sensitivity in Myasthenia Gravis: Clinical Characteristics and Impact on Quality of Life.

Introduction/aims: Light sensitivity is occasionally reported in myasthenia gravis patients, yet its prevalence, clinical characteristics, and impact on disease severity and quality of life remain insufficiently explored. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency, clinical characteristics, and the correlation of light sensitivity with myasthenia gravis severity and quality of life in patients.

Methods: Myasthenia gravis patients consecutively admitted to Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A.

Automated pupillometry is a predictor of outcome of stroke patients: an observational, prospective, cohort study.

Automated pupillometry (AP) is a rapid, non-invasive tool to assess the pupillary light reflex, extensively used for monitoring patients with traumatic brain injury. In acute ischaemic stroke, quantitative tools to monitor neurological status and predict outcome are lacking. This study aims to evaluate the ability of AP to predict stroke outcome, defined through the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores.

"Intra-operative assessment of leg length discrepancy with anterior approach total hip replacement: a comparison between standard table, position table with and without intra-operative radiographs".

Purpose: Post-operative LLD is a major concern after THA. The anterior approach on a standard table allows surgeons for a direct control of the leg length. Intra-operative radiography (IR) helps in assessment of hip biomechanics and anatomic parameters.

Assessing the approaches to nausea and vomiting in pregnancy: insights from a nationwide survey of Italian gynecologists (PURITY light).

Introduction: Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) affect approximately 70-85% of pregnant women, starting between weeks 6 and 8 and often subsiding by week 20. This study evaluates the therapeutic approaches of Italian gynecologists in the treatment of NVP. In the Italian healthcare system, gynecologists play a central role in prenatal care and are the primary healthcare providers for pregnant women, unlike in other countries where midwives may have a more prominent role.

Many environmental and phenological changes have recently modified their geographic patterns in many countries; thus, this study has updated the distribution of and in dog populations of selected regions of Central and Southern Italy. Also, collateral data on other endoparasites affecting the study population have been collected.
