Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates cancer incidence trends from 2008-2017 in Italy among individuals aged 20-49, utilizing data from 20 cancer registries that cover about one-third of the population.
- Results show that cancer rates were nearly double for women compared to men, particularly due to breast and thyroid cancers, with significant variations in incidence trends across different cancer types.
- The findings indicate no consistent increase for early-onset cancers in Italy, with rising rates for some cancers offset by declines in others, underscoring the need for preventive measures and careful screening strategies.
Background: Peri-electrode edema after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson Disease (PD) has been reported in up to 100% of cases. The clinical significance of this finding is unclear, with most papers suggesting a benign course. The risk factors are also poorly defined.

The use of microelectrode recording (MER) during deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson Disease is controversial. Furthermore, in asleep DBS anesthesia can impair the ability to record single-cell electric activity.The purpose of this study was to describe our surgical and anesthesiologic protocol for MER assessment during asleep subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS and to put our findings in the context of a systematic review of the literature.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: The increasing survival of patients with breast cancer has prompted the assessment of mortality due to all causes of death in these patients. We estimated the absolute risks of death from different causes, useful for health-care planning and clinical prediction, as well as cause-specific hazards, useful for hypothesis generation on etiology and risk factors.
Materials And Methods: Using data from population-based cancer registries we performed a retrospective study on a cohort of women diagnosed with primary breast cancer.
Objective: To refine a reliable and reproducible intraoperative visual evoked potentials (iVEPs) monitoring protocol during endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. To assess the reliability of baseline iVEPs in predicting preoperative visual status and perioperative iVEP variation in predicting postoperative visual outcome.
Methods: Sixty-four patients harboring tumors of the pituitary region were included.
