Background: The incidence of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) increased over last decades, probably due to environmental concerns or to the increase of frail patients with age related comorbidities. Currently, the relationship of increasing global skin cancer rates with increased ultraviolet radiations (UVRs) resulting from stratospheric ozone depletion, global warming, and air pollution from fossil-fuel combustion.
Aims: We conducted a retrospective epidemiological study including 546 NMSC patients managed at the Dermatology Unit of the Tor Vergata Hospital to highlight different trends of sun exposure or different comorbidities.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to estimate the prognostic value of some features documented on preoperative MRI study in patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury.
Methods: The study was conducted in patients operated for cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) from April 2014 to October 2020. The quantitative analysis on preoperative MRI scans included: length of the spinal cord intramedullary lesion (IMLL the canal diameter at the level of maximal spinal cord compression (MSCC) and the presence of intramedullary hemorrhage.
Article Synopsis
- Moyamoya is a rare brain artery disease that causes strokes and TIAs in children, either on its own (MMD) or alongside other conditions (MMS), accounting for 6-10% of these incidents.
- The study was conducted on 65 pediatric patients in Italy to analyze how the disease presents, progresses, is treated, and its outcomes.
- Findings revealed that most patients had symptoms (82%), many experienced strokes or TIAs, and 73% underwent surgery; however, 20% had subsequent strokes, and at follow-up, 43% had motor deficits, 31% intellectual disabilities, and other complications.
The impact of reperfusion therapies on cognition has been poorly explored and little knowledge exists. We explored the influence of endovascular treatment (EVT) on cognitive outcome in patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke. Patients presenting with ischemic stroke due to anterior large vessel occlusion who underwent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) alone or EVT plus IVT were recruited.

Aseptic autologous bone flap resorption (BFR) is the most frequent complication. The identification of possible predictive parameters for BFR would help to improve the management of these patients.
