Background: Right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia (rtvFTD), a new recognized entity among the FTD-spectrum, is characterized by right anterior temporal lobe (rATL) atrophy and a peculiar clinical presentation, involving face and emotions recognition, memory, and naming deficits and behavioral disturbances. Clinical diagnosis is challenging, since rtvFTD shares features with both the behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD) and the semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), and there is no consensus yet on its designation and characterization. Although rATL neurodegeneration is a hallmark of this syndrome, only a few studies investigated patterns of gray matter (GM) atrophy.

Background: Long COVID is an under-characterized disorder that affects a wide range of individuals after COVID-19 resolution. Long COVID individuals report persistent neurological manifestations, such as anxiety. Understanding its effects in the brain might help uncover the actual burden imposed by the pandemic sequelae and either define or discard long COVID as a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases.

The lengthening of the lifespan led to an increase in breast cancer (BC) diagnosed in very old age, but the treatment recommendations in this patient group usually lack evidence-based practice. We conducted a prospective observational monocentric study specifically targeting patients diagnosed with invasive BC at 80 years of age or older. We enrolled 88 patients consecutively observed for a new BC diagnosis at 80 years or older.

Background: Surgical fundoplication remains integral in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by addressing gastroesophageal valve incompetence. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach, the Eversion Cruroplasty and Collar Overwrap (ECCO) procedure, aiming to combine benefits of conventional partial wrapping and posteromedial cardiopexy, considering gastric fundus anatomical peculiarities as an anti-reflux barrier.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients presenting with refractory GERD from 2021 to 2023 was conducted.
