Article Synopsis
- Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a serious disease increasingly seen in northern Italy, especially in children and those with weakened immune systems.
- A study at St. Orsola University Hospital analyzed 16 hospitalized children over nine years, revealing that most presented with fever, low blood cell counts, and swollen spleens; treatments with Liposomal Amphotericin B effectively managed symptoms.
- Pediatricians should consider VL as a potential diagnosis for children with unexplained fever and related symptoms, using abdominal ultrasounds and blood tests for diagnosis instead of invasive procedures like bone marrow aspiration.

Purpose: To describe the design and methodological approach of a multicenter, retrospective study to externally validate a clinical and imaging-based model for predicting the risk of late adverse events in patients with initially uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD).
Materials And Methods: The Registry of Aortic Diseases to Model Adverse Events and Progression (ROADMAP) is a collaboration between 10 academic aortic centers in North America and Europe. Two centers have previously developed and internally validated a recently developed risk prediction model.
Bone health in transgender people: a narrative review.

Bone health in transmen and transwomen is an important issue that needs to be evaluated by clinicians. Prior to gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT), transwomen have lower bone mineral density (BMD) and a higher prevalence of osteopenia than cismen probably related to external factors, such as hypovitaminosis D and less physical activities. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues in transgender youth may cause bone loss; however, the addition of GAHT restores or at least improves BMD in both transboys and transgirls.

Although Tao brush has become one of the most studied and used endometrial cytological samplers, concerns remain about the adequacy of the cytological sample compared with definitive histology. We aimed to assess accuracy of cytological examination from Tao brush sampling in diagnosing endometrial premalignancy and malignancy through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Seven electronic databases were searched from January 2000 to July 2021 for all studies which allowed assessment of accuracy of Tao brush in diagnosing endometrial premalignancy and malignancy.

Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry "Schola Medica Salernitana", University of Salerno, 84081 Baronissi, Italy.
Background: In endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has shown the potential to reduce post-operative morbidity and long-term complications, and to improve the detection of low-volume metastasis through ultrastaging. However, while it has shown high sensitivity and feasibility in low-risk EC patient groups, its role in high-risk groups is still unclear.
Aim: To assess the role of SLN biopsy through the cervical injection of indocyanine green (ICG) in high-risk groups of early-stage EC patients.
Lymphovascular space invasion in endometrial carcinoma: A prognostic factor independent from molecular signature.
Gynecol Oncol
April 2022
Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry "Schola Medica Salernitana", University of Salerno, 84081 Baronissi, Italy.
Background: The 2020 ESGO/ESTRO/ESP guidelines stratify the prognosis of endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients combining The Cancer Genome ATLAS (TCGA) molecular signature and pathological factors, including lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI). However, little is known about the prognostic independence of LVSI from molecular signature.
Aim: To assess whether the prognostic value of LVSI is independent from the TCGA signature.

Background: 2021 ESGO/ESTRO/ESP guidelines for the management of patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC) encourage molecular classification and propose a new prognostic risk stratification based on both pathologic and molecular features. Although deep myometrial invasion (DMI) has been considered as a crucial risk factor in EC, it is unclear if its prognostic value is independent from The Cancer Genome ATLAS (TCGA) groups.
Aim: To assess if the prognostic value of DMI is independent from the TCGA groups in EC patients.
