Aims: Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a potentially serious condition that can afflict preterm infants. Timely and correct identification of individuals at risk of developing a serious form of ROP is therefore of paramount importance. WinROP is an online system for predicting ROP based on birth weight and weight increments.

Background: There is a lack of published evidence on the importance of methotrexate (MTX) dose and route of administration on both its efficacy and adverse events in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). We aimed to document our clinical practice based on the treat-to-target approach in order to support the concept that better therapeutic effect achieved with an optimal dose of parenteral MTX is associated with clinically acceptable adverse effects comparable to those reported for oral treatment.
Methods: Study inclusion criteria were indication of new MTX therapy for active arthritis in confirmed JIA patients younger than 18 years.

Aim: An optimal surgical staging in the group of patients with the high-risk type of endometrial cancer is often limited by age and serious internal comorbidities. Therefore, in this study we focused on human epididymis protein 4 and its contribution to the preoperative differentiation of prognostically distinct groups of patients and to individualized surgical treatment as compared with cancer antigen (CA) 125 and imaging methods.
Material And Methods: The study included 115 patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma diagnosed through endometrial biopsy.

Article Synopsis
- A new technique called Camera-Assisted Laser photocoagulation and Cryotherapy of the Retina (CALCR) is introduced for treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using the RetCam 3 digital imaging system.
- A study from Nov 2011 to Oct 2013 involved 113 infants diagnosed with high-risk prethreshold ROP, where CALCR was applied to 23 infants under general anesthesia with no serious complications.
- The CALCR technique enhances treatment precision by providing high-resolution images of the retina, enabling better visualization, comparison of retinal conditions, and reducing the risk of damaging healthy tissue.

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy also known as transient balooning syndrome is an increasingly reported phenomenon characterized by acute reversible apical or midventricular dysfunction. This stress- induced cardiomyopathy mimics myocardial infarction, but without significant coronary artery disease, and rarely presents in perioperative period.
Methods And Results: We report a case of postmenopausal woman scheduled to undergo elective cholecystectomy, with no history of coronary artery disease.
