It is a congenital type, in contrast with adulthood in which acquired forms are more frequently found (1). The laparoscopic correction of indirect inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgeries performed in paediatric age. In recent years, various techniques have been introduced for the videolaparoscopic correction of this disease. The aim of this study is to provide an assessment of the efficacy and safety of the execution of a modified Flip-Flap technique, using tissue glue for filling of Peritoneal-vaginal duct (DPV), performed in order to ensure greater suture tightness and reduce the incidence of postoperative hydrocele. author1, author2, author 2, author1, author1, author 2 The Authors present a retrospective review of their record of cases, considering a total of 187 patients aged between 18 months and 14 years. For the correction of the hernial defect, the modified VLS Flip-Flap technique was carried out. The evaluation of safety, efficacy, operating time, relapse rate and development of short-term complications (such as postoperative hydrocele, scrotal hematoma or ecchymosis, atrophy or iatrogenic testicle ascension) was considered in a mean follow-up of 6 months. The Authors suggest that this variant of the peritoneal Flip-Flap technique is simple to perform; its safety, reproducibility and effectiveness is proven and has a percentage of relapses and complications overlapping with the \"open\" approach and superior to other laparoscopic techniques.</p>","PeriodicalId":54170,"journal":{"name":"Translational Medicine at UniSa","volume":"22 ","pages":"33-37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7265909/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38036754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the factors involved in urolithiasis pathophysiology, urinary tract anomalies and metabolic diseases are the most relevant, although ethnicity and environmental factors may have an important role. The advances in technology and miniaturization of endoscopic devices have permitted the use of Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) to treat kidney and ureteral stones. Nowadays, flexible ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy, which are techniques that have been applied in the management of adult upper urinary tract disorders, are also used in children as a minimally invasive treatment of urolithiasis with encouraging, effective and safe results. The Authors report a retrospective review of their record of cases considering 21 pediatric urolithiasis treatment procedures performed between October 2017 and April 2019 in a total of 17 patients (10 males and 7 females). Six procedures involved the use of the flexible ureterorenoscope (FURS) while in 15 procedures the application of the laser fiber was used (FURSL). A case of laser lithotripsy for bladder stone was included. The average age of patients was 10.5 years (2–18 years). The renal pelvis dilatation pretreatment was evaluated in post-operative follow-up. From the evaluation of the sample in analysis, the use of RIRS has good results in the treatment of paediatric urolithiasis, emerging as a valid option in the management of the paediatric population in terms of efficacy and safety, with an improvement in patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":54170,"journal":{"name":"Translational Medicine at UniSa","volume":"22 1","pages":"46 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46113568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The term “pleomorphic” refers to the epithelial and connective origin of the mass. The clinical presentation is typically that of asymptomatic swelling which increases in volume. Therapy consists in surgical removal of the tumor mass by parotidectomy with nerve preservation. Case details This clinical case describes an interesting case of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland in a 62-year-old patient. The patient presented with a long history of an asymptomatic mildly worsening swelling of the left parotid region. The peculiarity of the clinical case is the dimension of the adenoma (9x5x9 cm) and the presence of a thyroid incidentaloma (TI), consisting of a thyroid multinodular goiter composed of nodules, the largest of which measured 8 cm in diameter. This mass dislocated the laryngotracheal axis, compressed the larynx and caused the reduction of the respiratory space, making orotracheal intubation difficult and determining the need to perform a tracheotomy. Conclusion Benign pleomorphic adenomas can potentially reach large sizes if untreated. Socio-economic problems may be the reason for late diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":54170,"journal":{"name":"Translational Medicine at UniSa","volume":"22 1","pages":"15 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47351202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, since pain is a subjective perception, it is difficult to evaluate if and which effect music has on it. In this study, a new device and method have been introduced to objectively estimate pain threshold and its changes related to external stimuli. The above-mentioned device, called autoalgometer, allows to evaluate pain threshold changes while listening to music or other sounds. In this experiment, the pain threshold was evaluated in twenty-seven volunteers after listening to one out of three different soundtracks: white noise, Mozart’s sonata K448 or Brian Eno’s ambient music. Compared to staying in silence, listening to the recordings had no significant effect on pain threshold, and the results did not show any significant difference between the experimental groups. Probably, the positive effect of music described in other studies can be ascribed to a psychological effect, meaning that music can improve subjective mood and, thus, modify pain perception.","PeriodicalId":54170,"journal":{"name":"Translational Medicine at UniSa","volume":"22 1","pages":"1 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42546029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional treatment of SSc ulcers consists of both topical and systemic (oral or intravenous) pharmacological therapies. Several surgical options are also available, but there is overall a lack of official guidelines or recommendations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel local therapy based on polyurethane foam dressings, namely the Highly Hydrophilic Polyurethane Foam (HPF), in addition to the conventional pharmacological treatment, in a cohort of 41 SSc patients with at least one active ulcer. Our results showed that the addition of HPF to the conventional treatment based on systemic drugs induced i) a significant reduction in the number of active DUs (p=0.0034); ii) a significant reduction of the mean duration of ulcer-related hospitalization as compared with standard therapy (p=0.0001); iii) a significant improvement of patients’ Quality of Life, as evaluated through the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ) (p=0.00011). Therefore, in our experience, the combined management of DUs can improve both the onset of new DUs and DU’s healing thus leading to a better outcome.","PeriodicalId":54170,"journal":{"name":"Translational Medicine at UniSa","volume":"22 1","pages":"10 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47008266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
