Article Synopsis
- The study examines muscle changes, specifically sarcopenia and myosteatosis, in cirrhosis patients to understand their prevalence and impact on health over a year.
- In a group of 433 patients, different combinations of these muscle changes were found, with notable increases in mortality and hospitalization rates linked to isolated myosteatosis and combined muscle changes.
- Findings indicate that both myosteatosis and sarcopenia are common in cirrhosis, leading to worse health outcomes, emphasizing the need for better prognostic evaluations in these patients.

Purpose: Extramammary breast tumors are quite unusual but they might represent the first semiotic sign of non negative mammography. Thus, the need for an early and accurate diagnosis is crucial, with the purpose of planning and optimize the therapeuthical strategy and consequently to improve the clinical outcome of patients.
Methods: Due to the intrinsic characteristics of this technique, CESM lends itself as a useful and reliable tool for a complex diagnosis, since it may simultaneously provide both the data of the mammographic semiotic and the dynamic one of an examination with a contrast medium.

Cardiology Unit, Castelli Hospital, Verbania, Italy.
Acute dyspnea is a frequent cause of access to the Emergency Department. Differentiation between cardiogenic and respiratory causes does not always seem simple and certain, causing a delay in initiating targeted therapies and prolonging the patient's stay in the emergency department. The basic elements for the diagnosis remain the history and the objective examination, supplemented by the execution of an electrocardiogram, a determination of blood parameters and the execution of a chest X-ray.
