This study investigates whether non-invasive imaging techniques—ultrasound and MRI—can accurately diagnose non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis in people with fatty liver disease. Currently, a liver biopsy is the gold standard, but it is invasive and carries ri…

This study tested whether using contrast-enhanced mammography to guide breast biopsies is more accurate than the standard X-ray-guided method for suspicious calcifications. About 184 women with suspicious calcifications (BIRADS R3-R5) were randomly assigned to one of the two biop…

This large trial compared two breast cancer screening methods in nearly 27,000 women aged 45-74. One group received standard 2D mammography plus a newer 3D technique called digital breast tomosynthesis, while the other got only standard mammography. Researchers wanted to see if t…

This study tested whether a special sitting position that centers the hip joint can prevent hip dislocation in children with severe cerebral palsy. Seventeen children aged 1-6 years participated, using either the experimental or usual sitting method for at least 5 hours daily ove…

Multiple myeloma, a common blood cancer, often causes bone lesions that lead to pain, fractures, and other serious events. This study reviews medical records of patients diagnosed between 2019 and 2021 to describe how often these bone complications occur and what rehabilitation s…

This study looks at how a Clinical Ethics Committee (CEC) works in a cancer research hospital in Italy. The CEC helps doctors, nurses, and other staff deal with difficult ethical questions in patient care. Researchers are surveying and interviewing healthcare workers to see how w…

This study tested an Italian version of a questionnaire called the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI) to see if it accurately measures how well complex patients are returning to everyday life after leaving a physical medicine and rehabilitation unit. Researchers enrolled…

This study looked back at 80 children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types II and III to see how using braces (orthoses) helped them sit, stand, and walk. Researchers recorded when and how often children achieved these milestones and what types of braces they used. The goal w…

This study looked at how freezing changes platelets, the blood cells that help stop bleeding. Researchers tested frozen platelets in a lab to see if they still work well enough to prevent bleeding in cancer patients. The goal is to find the best way to store platelets for future …
