Ann Surg Open
December 2024
From the Chirurgia Generale ed Epatobiliare, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata di Verona, Università degli Studi di Verona, Verona, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to provide updated evidence for managing stage I colon cancer (CC) post-surgery, focusing on recurrence rates and risk factors.
- Despite low recurrence risk, some guidelines suggest intensive follow-up is unnecessary, but data on actual recurrence rates is limited.
- The findings reveal a 5% recurrence rate, primarily systemic, with significant risk factors including tumor characteristics and patient demographics, suggesting a need for improved postoperative follow-up strategies.
Antihistamines improve cardiovascular manifestations and other symptoms of long-COVID attributed to mast cell activation.

Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates long-COVID, a complex condition with no effective treatments, particularly focusing on cardiovascular symptoms like high heart rate and palpitations linked to mast cell activation (MCA).
- Researchers administered histamine receptor blockers (fexofenadine and famotidine) to 14 patients with long-COVID symptoms over 20 days and compared results with 13 control subjects.
- Results showed that 29% of treated patients experienced complete symptom resolution, with significant improvements in all treated individuals, supporting the idea that targeting histamine receptors may be a viable treatment for long-COVID.

Dietary Habits and Risk of Esophagitis and Barrett's Esophagus: A Multicenter Italian Case-Control Study.
Dig Dis Sci
October 2021
Gastroenterology, General Hospital, Via Giovanni Borea 56, 18038, Sanremo, IM, Italy.
Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophagitis share potentially modifiable risk factors such as obesity, smoking, and alcohol. The role of diet on BE and esophagitis is still debated.
Aims: The objective of this study was to examine the association between some dietary habits and the risk of BE and esophagitis in Italy.

Internal Delorme's procedure for rectal outlet obstruction.
Colorectal Dis
March 2013
Colorectal Eporediensis Centre, Gruppo Policlinico di Monza, Divisione di Chirurgia Colorettale, Clinica Santa Rita, Vercelli, Italy.
Aim: The outcome of the internal Delorme's procedure (IDP) for obstructed defaecation was assessed.
Method: From October 2001 to March 2009, 167 patients with obstructed defaecation associated with rectal intussusception were operated on. Patients were selected on the basis of validated constipation and continence scores, clinical examination and defaecography.
Transperineal repair with bulbocavernosus muscle interposition for recto-urethral fistula.
Colorectal Dis
March 2013
Colorectal Eporediensis Centre, Gruppo Policlinico di Monza, Divisione di Chirurgia Colorettale, Clinica Santa Rita, Vercelli, Italy.
Aim: The results of repair of recto-urethral fistulae (RUF) are presented using a bulbocavernosus muscle graft.
Method: Prospectively collected data were reviewed on 11 patients with RUF operated on between 2003 and 2011. Of these, six were treated by a bulbocavernosus flap.
The effect of sacral nerve modulation on cerebral evoked potential latency in fecal incontinence and constipation.
Ann Surg
July 2011
Colorectal Eporediensis Centre-Gruppo Policlinico di Monza, Divisione di Chirurgia Colorettale, Clinica Santa Rita, Vercelli, Italy.
Objective: Influence of sacral nerve modulation (SNM) on cerebral somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) was determined in patients with incontinence and constipation.
Background: Selection of patients with incontinence and constipation for SNM could be improved.
Methods: The latency (ms) of SEP induced by pudendal nerve stimulation was compared before (T0) and at 1 month during peripheral nerve evaluation (PNE) of SNM at frequencies of 21 Hz (T1) and 40 Hz (T2).

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of implantation of a Collamer implantable contact lens (ICL) (Staar) to correct hyperopic refractive errors.
Settings: Ophthalmology Department, Santa Rita Hospital, Vercelli, Italy.
Methods: Fifty-nine eyes of 34 patients with hyperopia had implantation of an ICL.
