Aim(s): To adapt and validate the HSOPS 2 instrument for the Italian context and to describe the current patient safety culture amongst healthcare personnel working in Italian hospitals.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: We adapted and validated the HSOPS 2 instrument following the COSMIN guidelines: we performed a forward-backward translation, calculated the content validity index, evaluated face validity, acceptability (percentage of participants responding to all items on the questionnaire and to every specific item), construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis), and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha for each dimension).

Numerous thyroid diseases can impact patients' lives, one of which is Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). Graves' ophthalmopathy is a progressive thyroid-related disease that causes eye symptoms due to an autoimmune reaction targeting thyrotropin/thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptors in the orbital space. This condition can be easily recognized by the patient, including exophthalmos, pain, swelling, double vision, and impaired vision.

Patients with angina but without obstructive epicardial coronary disease still require a specific mechanistic diagnosis to enable targeted treatment. The overarching term "coronary microvascular dysfunction" (CMD) has been applied broadly - but is it correct? We present a series of case examples culminating a systematic exploration of our large clinical database to distinguish among four categories of coronary pathophysiology. First, by far the largest group of "no stenosis angina" patients exhibits subendocardial ischemia during intact flow through diffuse epicardial disease during dipyridamole vasodilator stress.

Background: Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is a formidable disease with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditure. There is an emergent need to develop therapeutic agents for this disease as there are no targeted therapies available. We have recently demonstrated that pirfenidone can significantly decrease the severity of AP in animal models.

The therapeutic time window for endovascular therapy in acute stroke patients with large-vessel occlusion was extended to 24 hours from onset. Although a retrospective study showed the efficacy of endovascular therapy beyond 24 hours from the last known well, it remains unclear whether endovascular therapy is effective. Extending the time window of Endovascular therapy in the Triage of Late Presenting Strokes beyond 24 h (SKIP-EXTEND trial) aimed to clarify the efficacy of endovascular therapy compared to the best medical management.
