Materials and Methods: An observational study, conducted in two private rehabilitation hospitals located in Italy, was conducted to obtain real-world data concerning the integrated rehabilitative pathway of 118 patients. Patients’ data were analysed adopting three methodological approaches. the predictors of the dependent variable. statistical approaches, comparative-configurational Results: Results reported that older age (β=0.145, p=0.049), higher sportiness level (β=0.169, p=0.022), as well as the length of the integrated rehabilitative pathway (β=0.550, p-value=0.000) and the performance of threshold tests (β=0.389, p-value =0.000) are antecedents of higher management costs (Adjusted R²=0.703 and F=24.482). Summarizing QCA results, age, and the level of sportiness of patients, in combination with the compliance, play an important role in the emergence of the selected and analyzed management costs. Conclusions: Findings could be useful for the optimization of integrated rehabilitative pathway, thus becoming more efficient and effective, guaranteeing a process personalization, consistent with efficiency-driven and cost-containment strategies.","PeriodicalId":9035,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86833327","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}

In this report we describe a case of a rare acrometastasis that turned out to be of pulmonary origin.

Dominant hand is slightly predilected and the distal phalanx of the thumb is the most frequently involved location [1].

These can affect colorectal cancer burden, which is the second common cause of cancer death worldwide, although 40% of the cases would be preventable. Aim: We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on relationship between B vitamin intake and colorectal cancer where 14 publications were analysed. Methods: We carried out a systematic search of scientific literature based on PRISMA statements. Combined effect size (CES), confident interval (CI), prediction interval (PI), I2 and publication bias were calculated during statistical analysis of selected studies. Results: Combined effect sizes showed inverse association between higher intake of vitamin B2 (CES = 0.90; CI95% 0.83 - 0.97; I2 = 0.00%, p = 0.910), B6 (CES = 0.80; CI95% 0.68-0.92; I2 = 9.17%, p = 0.359) and CRC. We could not confirm the higher dietary intake of vitamin B12 reducing the risk of CRC. Vitamin B2 and B6 could compensate the effect of MTHFR C677T polymorphism (CES = 0.81; CI95% 0.64 - 0.98; I2 = 0.00%, p = 0.515) as well. Conclusion: Our results suggest that optimal intake of vitamin B2 and B6 could be important dietary factors in prevention of CRC. The association with vitamin B12 is inconsistent as its bioavailability is affected by other lifestyle factors. Vitamin B2 and B6 could influence MTHFR enzyme activity, therefore these vitamins might be incorporated into screening process of CRC with recommendations for specific diet.","PeriodicalId":9035,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77112718","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}
