The Authors discuss the informations that can be obtained from sonography in testicular torsion on the basis of 21 patients. The different sonographic features of the twisted testis, which are time-related, are reported and stressed. Ultrasonography is a very sensitive diagnostic tool and can be a useful complement of clinical examination.

Triglyceride-glucose index: carotid intima-media thickness and cardiovascular risk in a European population.
Cardiovasc Diabetol
January 2025
Centro E. Grossi Paoletti, Dipartimento di Scienze Farmacologiche e Biomolecolari "Rodolfo Paoletti", Università degli Studi di Milano, Milano, Italy.
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is now widely recognized as a marker of insulin resistance and has been linked to the development and prognosis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) in numerous populations, particularly in the Eastern world. Although there are fewer reports from the Western world, and they are sometimes contradictory, the absence of definitive data on the relationship between a raised TyG index and cardiovascular risk suggested the opportunity of testing this biochemical marker against a well-established vascular marker such as the carotid intima media thickness (c-IMT).
Methods: Primary prevention patients were selected from a cohort of individuals who underwent c-IMT measurement between 1984 and 2018 at the Dyslipidemia Center at the ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda in Milan, Italy.
Physical Performance of Geriatric Women and Its Impact on Fracture Risk and Bone Mineral Density Assessed with Radiofrequency Echographic Multispectrometry (REMS).

Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of physical performance of geriatric women on their fracture risk and bone mineral density (BMD) assessed with radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry (REMS).
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study to assess the physical performance, BMD and fracture risk in 182 geriatric women aged 60 years and older. BMD was measured using REMS scanning (developed by Echolight S.
Visual deprivation and axial myopia: Considerations on long-term ocular development.
Eur J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Neurosciences, Reproductive Sciences and Dentistry, University of Naples "Federico II", Naples, Italy.
Introduction: Severe visual deprivation during infancy can lead to long-term changes in ocular development, including significant differences in axial length (AL) between eyes. This case report presents three adult patients with monocular infantile visual deprivation who developed substantial AL interocular differences. The aim is to explore the impact of early visual deprivation on AL and its potential implications for myopia progression.

Radiofrequency echographic multi-spectrometry (REMS) is an innovative, non-ionizing diagnostic technique that has shown high accuracy and precision, making it a promising alternative to DXA for osteoporosis diagnosis in clinical settings. With economic considerations playing an increasingly crucial role in healthcare decisions, this study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and economic impact of improved osteoporosis diagnosis using REMS followed by treatment in the United States. A microsimulation-based Markov model was constructed to estimate the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained (in US$2022) for REMS followed by treatment vs no diagnosis and treatment in US women aged 50 yr and older with osteoporosis.
