The authors present their experience with the pectoral muscle implant for male chest enhancement in 21 patients. The markings and technique are thoroughly described. The implants used were manufactured and custom made. The candidates for implants comprised three groups: group 1 (18 patients seeking chest enhancement), group 2 (1 patient with muscular atrophy), and group 3 (2 patients with muscular injuries). Because of the satisfying results obtained, including significant enhancement of the chest contour and no major complications, this technique is used for an increasing number of male cosmetic surgeries.

The aim of this study was to reveal diagnostic biomarkers of considerable importance for common pathogenic , utilizing pan-genomic and comparative genome analysis to accurately characterize clinical infections. In this study, complete or assembled genome sequences of common pathogenic and closely related species were obtained from NCBI as discovery and validation sets, respectively. Genome annotation was performed using Prokka software, and pan-genomic analysis and extraction of core genes were performed using BPGA software.

: Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) is widely recognized as a critical intervention that significantly reduces no-flow time, improving survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). This study evaluates current practices and the organization of DA-CPR in Italian emergency medical communication centers (EMCCs) and identifies areas for improvement. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between April and May 2024 among all Italian EMCCs, achieving a 92.

The evolution of regional anesthesia techniques has markedly influenced the management of postoperative pain, particularly in thoracic surgery. As part of a multimodal analgesic approach, fascial plane blocks have gained prominence due to their efficacy in providing targeted analgesia with minimal systemic side effects. Among these, the superficial intercostal plane (SPIP) block and deep parasternal intercostal plane (DPIP) block are of notable interest.
