Importance: Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common indication for outpatient antimicrobial therapy. National guidelines for the management of uncomplicated UTI were published in 2011, but the extent to which they align with current practices, patient diversity, and pathogen biology, all of which have evolved greatly in the time since their publication, is not fully known.
Objective: To reevaluate the effectiveness and adverse event profile for first-line antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, and oral β-lactams for treating uncomplicated UTI in contemporary clinical practice.

Purpose: Advances in multidisciplinary treatment of childhood brain tumors have significantly prolonged survival and reduced treatment-related complications. This makes the accessibility of digital neurocognitive assessment an important issue in the post-pandemic era.
Methods: Twenty pediatric brain tumor patients were recruited between August 2023 and August 2024, and a total of eight standardized Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) tests targeting executive function, memory, and attention were applied on a digital system.

Background: Recent studies have suggested that retinal changes measured with optical coherence tomography are detectable in early Parkinson's disease (PD), highlighting the potential of ophthalmic biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring.
Objective: We set out to investigate the relationship between optic disc pallor measured in fundoscopy images and both prevalent and incident PD.
Methods: We analyzed color fundus photographs from 787 UK Biobank participants: 89 with prevalent PD, 317 with incident PD, and 381 age- and sex-matched controls.

Background: Recent advancements in ultra-high-density mapping (UHDM) featuring automated functionalities have enhanced our understanding of micro-reentrant atrial tachycardias (mAT) circuits and the precise localization of the origin.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic support provided by an automated UHDM algorithm in guiding the ablation of mATs.
Methods: Consecutive patients eligible for AT ablation in 22 Italian centers were prospectively enrolled.
