Case ReportView abstract PDF Full textBreast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women and a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In individuals with poor prognostic characteristics, recurrence rates in this disease might reach 30-70%. Relapses might manifest as a local tumor, unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy (LAP), or distant metastases [1]...... ReadMore

Case ReportView abstract PDF Full textEmbryo retention (ER) in the catheter is a common phenomenon in Embryo Transfer (ET). However, it is difficult to distinguish 5-stage or 6-stage collapsed blastocysts without Zona Pellucida (ZP) in ER. This case reported a patient transferred a thawed 5-stage blastocyst with residue in the catheter in frozen ET cycles...... ReadMore

Research ArticleView abstract PDF Full textThe gold standard for determining bone health is by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA); however, the use of sex-based reference indices has been shown to be confusing when performing the test for individuals who identify as transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC). In 2019, the International Society of Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) took the first official “positions” regarding how to perform a DXA scan for TGNC patients. However, it is unknown how closely these guidelines have been followed...... ReadMore

Research ArticleView abstract PDF Full textHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is a risk factor for several human tumors, including head and neck cancers (HNC). The presence of the virus could impact the expression of the host microRNAs, leading to global change in the gene expression profile of the host cells. We studied such effects using in silico methods. We analyzed the gene expression profile of 38 HPV-positive and 180 HPVnegative HNC cases that were publicly available...... ReadMore

Review ArticleView abstract PDF Full textMalignant lymphomas are the commonest hematological cancers, accounting for about 50% of them. Despite being diagnosed worldwide, differences have been reported in terms of absolute incidence in different geographical areas, being more frequently seen in Europe and Northern America rather than Asia and Africa. Even more evident is the different distribution of lymphoma types, based on the presence of different causative agents (e.g., HTLV1), postulated genetic backgrounds (eg. EBV-associated T-cell neoplasms), or unknown reasons. In this study, we aimed to assess, for the first time, the specific incidence of lymphoma types in Italy...... ReadMore
