Unlabelled: Scenario. Currently, there are few evaluation methods that analyse social aspects in healthcare issues, especially humanisation and well-being, as perceived by users in emergency departments which are places in which patients' psycho-physical well-being is decisive. For this reason, research was conducted to create a tool to improve the quality of these areas.
Methodology: In order to conduct the research, the work was structured in three phases: the first, based on the analysis of State-of-the-Art and the current studies on the interactions established between the physical and emotional conditions of the structure and the users; the second, through the definition of a questionnaire which explores humanisation and comfort aspects; the third, through the application of the instrument.
Results: The paper presents and analyses data collected from the application on a case study in Milan, analysing the responses and proposing design suggestions for increasing the quality of emergency environments.
Conclusions: In anticipation of future works, the application of such a tool can provide the opportunity to improve and enhance quality and staff efficiency in emergency department spaces.

Objectives: This study investigated the safety, clinical activity and patient-reported outcomes of patients with diffuse-type tenosynovial giant-cell tumour (dTGCT) of the soft tissue who were treated with emactuzumab, a humanised anti-colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) monoclonal antibody and were followed up for up to 2 years after the start of treatment.
Methods: In this open-label phase 1 study (ClinicalTrials.govNCT01494688), patients received intravenous (IV) emactuzumab from 900 to 2000 mg every two weeks in the dose-escalation phase and at the optimal biological dose of 1000 mg with different schedules in the dose-expansion phase.

Unlabelled: This article reports on recent advances on metastatic breast cancer. Detection, prognostic factors, predictors of response to therapy and therapy, with particular regard to targeted therapies, were examined.
Detection: Unlike current guidelines that yet do not routinely recommend intensive clinical-instrumental post-operative follow-up of breast cancer patients, relatively large data collected in the last decades have shown that an intensive post-operative follow-up with 'dynamic evaluation' of a suitable tumour marker panel precedes a few months as average the clinical and/or instrumental sign of a pending relapse in most relapsed patients and largely limits the use of the common instrumental examinations.
