The results of five years activity of the National Register of children with Congenital Hypothyroidism (NRCH) have been evaluated. NRCH was established in Italy in 1987, as a pilot project of Health Ministry. All Italian Centers in charge of the screening, treatment and follow-up of CH are involved in the program. The results have provided further epidemiological informations about CH in Italy and have evidenced some aspects in the screening organization which had to be improved. Discussion of Register data in annual meetings has recently allowed to obtain an improvement especially for the beginning of treatment and the used dose of therapy.

Background: Metastatic spine tumor surgery (MSTS) is often complex and extensive leading to significant blood loss. Allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) is the mainstay of blood replenishment but with immune-mediated postoperative complications. Alternative blood management techniques (salvaged blood transfusion [SBT]) allow us to overcome such complications.

Purpose: Precision medicine plays an important role in the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. Despite its high incidence in White patients, advanced melanoma is rare in Asian countries, hampering prospective clinical trials targeting the Asian population. This retrospective study aimed to elucidate the real-world molecular diagnoses and outcomes of Japanese patients with melanoma using comprehensive genome profiling (CGP).

The noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) indicates the minimum temperature difference resolvable by using an infrared detector. The lower the NETD, the better the sensor can register small temperature differences. In this work, we proposed a strategy to achieve a high temperature resolution using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) with ultra-high sensitivity.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of the combined Needle Knife Therapy (NKT) and Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) treatment for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to provide clinical evidence supporting its application in managing the condition.
Methods: Relevant articles were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, Embase, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Network (CNKI) from the inception of the databases up to February 18, 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of NKT combined with CHM were appraised for inclusion.

This study reports the preparation of hydrogels (HG) made with xanthan gum (XG) and ƙ-carrageenan (KC) polysaccharides containing ketoprofen (KET)-loaded nanoemulsions (NK) and their evaluation in a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model. The nano-based HGs exhibited nanometric-sized droplets (~ 100 nm), an acidic pH (5.10-6.
