- Menopause can negatively impact women's health, prompting a study on the benefits of Filme Gyno-V ovules containing tocopherol acetate for vaginal well-being.
- The research involved 50 women aged 50-70, divided into menopausal and premenopausal groups, who used the ovules for two weeks and were assessed before and after treatment.
- Results indicated significant improvement in symptoms like dryness and pain, along with positive changes in vaginal microbiota, suggesting the ovules' effectiveness for vaginal health.
Background: Bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells were implanted to induce angiogenesis in patients with no-option critical limb-threatening ischemia. Considering the potential for this therapy, conflicting results related to BM harvesting methods have been reported that could affect stem cell concentrations and quality.
Methods: A total of 75 patients with no-option critical limb-threatening ischemia were treated with BM implantation.
The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to understand if and how much the preventive self-isolation approach might have been a valid model to avoid care-related infection, not only from COVID-19 but also from other non-viral infectious diseases. From March to May 2020, the healthcare and management staff of the Villa Santa Maria long-term care facilities, located in the village of Montenero di Bisaccia (Campobasso, Molise, Italy), decided to carry out a preventive self-isolation plan to safeguard the residents from SARS-CoV-2. The impact on other infectious diseases was evaluated by analyzing the antibiotic therapies prescription trend among the inpatients.

- * Research indicated that MS patients had higher levels of failing heart stress biomarkers, notably ST2, which was linked to a worse prognosis, while lower ST2 levels were associated with better survival after appropriate ICD therapy.
- * In multivariate analysis, biomarkers like C reactive protein (CRP), troponin I (TnI), and B type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were significant predictors of all-cause and cardiac mortality, making ST2 and BNP valuable for monitoring and predicting outcomes in MS
In neoplastic patients chemotherapy frequently involves severe myeloid suppression. Sometimes myeloid suppression is the main cause of therapy recycling delay with severe and prolonged neutropenia, anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Our study aimed to verify whether there is a correlation between reticulocyte fractions, reticulocyte indices, myeloperoxidase index (MPXI) and post-chemotherapy myelopoietic function and severe post-chemotherapy neutropenia.
