Pre-operative high-frequency ultrasound: a reliable management tool in auricular and nasal non-melanoma skin cancer.
J Dtsch Dermatol Ges
March 2024
Clinic of Dermatology and Allergology, University Clinic Ulm, Ulm, Germany.
Background And Objectives: The knowledge of depth infiltration in non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) using pre-operative ultrasound could enable clinicians to choose the most adequate therapeutic approach, avoiding unnecessary surgeries and expensive imaging methods, delaying diagnosis and treatment. Our single-center retrospective study determined the usefulness of high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) for depth infiltration assessment in auricular and nasal NMSC and assessed the subsequent change in therapeutic approach.
Patients And Methods: In 60 NMSC cases, we assessed the accuracy of HFUS in cartilaginous/bone infiltration detection as well as the correlation of sonographic and histological parameters.
An Italian nationwide survey on the evolution of autoantibody diagnostics in autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Laboratorio di Patologia Clinica, Ospedale San Antonio, Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Integrata di Udine, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The Italian Society of Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Medicine conducted a nationwide survey to evaluate the adoption of new autoimmune diagnostic technologies and practices among autoimmunology laboratories in Italy.
- A questionnaire featuring 59 questions was distributed to 152 laboratories, assessing factors like test volume, technology used, automation level, testing methods, and interaction with clinicians.
- Results showed a high response rate (79.6%) with most labs using various advanced testing technologies and 65% providing interpretative comments in reports, suggesting a trend towards enhanced testing capabilities and closer collaboration with healthcare providers.
Comparison of three progesterone quantification methods using blood samples drawn from bitches during the periovulatory phase.

Clinic for Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Andrology of Large and Small Animals with Veterinary Ambulance, Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany.
Background And Aim: Measuring blood progesterone (P4) concentration has become an essential diagnostic tool in small animal reproductive medicine. Methods enabling precise and rapid on-site measurements are in high demand, especially for the optimization of breeding management in bitches. This study aimed to compare two commercial on-site methods (Speed™ P4, Virbac [M1] and mini VIDAS®, bioMérieux [M2]) and a well-established radioimmunoassay (RIA), which was used as a reference method.

The first step to complete in a method validation of a biological analysis is the study of precision intra-assay. In the absence or insufficient quantity of control material, this study may be difficult to perform. This article proposes a methodology for preparing its own control samples for the radioimmunological assay of the amino-terminal peptide of procollagene type III (PIIIP).

Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has resulted in significant mortality and morbidity globally, affecting over 200 countries.
- Severe COVID-19 cases often trigger a harmful immune reaction called a cytokine storm, leading to serious complications like ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome).
- Low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) may help mitigate cytokine release syndrome by improving immune responses and has previously shown success in treating viral pneumonia, making it a potential option given the current lack of effective treatments for severe COVID-19 cases.
