Primary cultures of normal human keratinocytes were inoculated in vitro with human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV-1), the agent responsible for deep plantar warts. Upon transfer to dead de-epidermized dermis and growth at the air-liquid interface, keratinocytes reconstituted a pseudoepidermis. Under these highly differentiating conditions, HPV-1 DNA amplification was found to take place in the reconstructed epidermis, being detectable from 7 days after the transfer and persisting for at least 10 days thereafter. The extent of keratinocyte differentiation may be insufficient to allow a complete HPV infectious cycle.

Background: Parental technoference, the interruption of parent-child interactions by technology, has been associated with negative outcomes in children's media use. However, the magnitude of this relationship and its moderating factors remain unclear.
Objective: This study aims to systematically examine the relationship between parental technoference and child problematic media use, as well as to identify moderating factors such as age, parental technoference group, study design, and type of problematic media use.

Atrial cardiomyopathy (AC) has been defined by the European Heart Rhythm Association as "Any complex of structural, architectural, contractile, or electrophysiologic changes in the atria with the potential to produce clinically relevant manifestations".1 The left atrium (LA) plays a key role in maintaining normal cardiac function; in fact atrial dysfunction has emerged as an essential determinant of outcomes in different clinical scenarios, such as valvular diseases, heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF). A comprehensive evaluation, both anatomical and functional, is routinely performed in cardiac imaging laboratories.

Aims: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a heterogeneous condition defined by reduced coronary flow reserve (CFR). The new index 'microvascular resistance reserve' (MRR) has been developed, but its role is unclear. We investigate the relationships between functional indices in ANOCA (angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries) patients and evaluate the hemodynamic features of different CMD subtypes.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a water-soluble green substance that is detectable through infrared cameras and emits greenish light. Approved for medical use in the 1950s, ICG has gained prominence as a real-time visualization tool. Widely recognized as a generally safe substance, ICG is applied in diverse fields.

Hourglass fascicular constrictions have been reported in fewer than 100 cases globally and only in the upper limb. The etiology remains unknown. Patients often present with self-limiting pain in the affected limb followed by flaccid paralysis.
