Tattoos have been a ubiquitous phenomenon throughout history. Now, the demand for tattoo removal for aesthetic or practical reasons is growing rapidly. This study outlines the results of field investigations into the chemical and biological removal of tattoo inks (Hexadecachlorinate copper phthalocyanine-CClCuN-CAS no° 1328-53-6).

Methods: Prospective observational multicenter study including patients with bacteremic NP caused by GNB from the ALARICO Network (June 2018-January 2020). The primary outcome measure was 30-day mortality.
Lower eyelid function and appearance depend on the complex anatomic relationship between the soft tissue lamellae, supportive tarsoligamentous sling, and bone. Aging in the lower lid area may be caused by changes in the anterior lamella (skin and orbicularis oculi muscle), middle lamella (orbital septum and lower lid fat pads), posterior lamella (tarsus, lower eyelid retractors, and conjunctiva), tarsoligamentous sling (lateral retinaculum), or any combination of the previously described.

- A guideline panel in Italy created recommendations for breast cancer screening to align with European Breast Cancer Guidelines, following the ADOLOPMENT approach for adaptation.
- The panel utilized the GRADE EtD framework, incorporating findings from a PubMed search specific to Italy, and included nine articles as contextual evidence.
- Thirteen finalized recommendations emphasize organized screening every 2 years for women aged 50-69, conditional screening for those aged 70-74, and advise against annual mammography for women 50 and older to enhance standardized processes and promote health equity.
Purpose: This study quantifies the impact on budget and cost per health benefit of implementing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in place of digital mammography (DM) for breast cancer screening among asymptomatic women in Italy.
Methods: A budget impact analysis and a cost consequence analysis were conducted using parameters from the MAITA project and literature. The study considered four scenarios for DBT implementation, i.
