Skin cancer basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a quite common lesion with a worldwide annual incidence between 3% and 8%. Tissue reconstruction should be biologically driven: nowadays, the naso-genial flap is one of the safest and usable flaps for the reconstruction of the labial and nasal region after invasive surgery aimed at a full BCC excision. In fact, the proximity of this flap to the area to be treated, the similar colour of the skin and the technical possibility to perform a single surgery to both harvest the flap and remove the lesion in the area to be then reconstructed, make it highly preferred by surgeons. In order to prevent the most severe swelling, the Authors started to use a novel method consisting in the use of the small-diameter cannula for lipoaspiration technique (SDCL). The correct use of SDCL allows to aspirate the adipose tissue, thus obtaining an available adipose-based scaffold, highly compatible with the area in which the flap is to be placed.

Neuropeptide W (NPW), a novel hypothalamic peptide, contributes to the central regulation of food intake and energy balance, and suppresses feeding behavior when administered centrally. The aim of our study was to investigate the role of peripherally administered NPW in the modulation of gastric emptying, and to evaluate the participation of afferent fibers, cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors and gastric smooth muscle contractility in the regulatory effects of NPW on gastric motility. In Sprague-Dawley male rats equipped with gastric fistula, gastric emptying rate of the saline and peptone solutions was measured following subcutaneous administration of NPW (0.

Background: Pulsatile extracorporeal circulation (ECC) may improve perfusion of critical organs during cardiac surgery. This study analyzed the influence of the components of a minimal invasive ECC (MiECC) on the transfer of pulsatile energy into the pseudo-patient of a mock circulation.
Methods: An aortic model with human-like geometry and compliance was perfused by a diagonal pump.

Cellulite is a common condition, and laxity in the superficial fascial system contributes significantly to its appearance in the thigh and buttock areas. Components of the superficial fascial system such as the fibrous septae and adipose tissue are targets for an effective treatment to improve the appearance of cellulite. This preliminary report demonstrates the use of radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis as a novel treatment approach to improve the appearance of cellulite by tightening the superficial fascial system.

Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides mechanical support for critically ill patients with cardiogenic shock. Typically, the size of the arterial return cannula is chosen to maximize flow. However, smaller arterial cannulae may reduce cannula-related complications and be easier to insert.

Background: Curved surgical instruments are being developed to expand the workspace of straight surgical instruments. They are required to have a small diameter and high stiffness.
Methods: We developed a double-spring pre-curved cannula (DSPC) for electrocauterization, which has curved movements controlled solely by translational motion, and high stiffness via wire tension.
