Abstract Purpose Studies reveal that rostral fluid shifts due to body posture changes from standing to lying down may narrow the upper airway. However, without credible and direct experimental evidence, it remains unclear what the role of natural fluid redistribution in the neck is in affecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity. Our aim is using direct experimental evidence to determine whether or not postural fluid shifts affect...

Abstract Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) local recurrence after radical nephrectomy is uncommon. When feasible, surgical removal remains the primary treatment strategy; nevertheless, local RCC relapse management is controversial, and less invasive procedures may represent an attractive option to achieve oncologic control. The aim of our study was to assess the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of image-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for RCC local recurrence...

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary liver neoplasia, represents the fifth most common malignant disease in men. Percutaneous ablation treatment is recommended among the treatments suggested for HCC patients in the very early/early stage. In the last decade, very important results in terms of survival benefits have been obtained with local ablative therapies, also outside the standard indications, thanks to many technical innovations. In particular,...

Abstract Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure alternative to surgery to treat benign thyroid nodules causing compressive symptoms. Tolerability of this procedure, aimed at treatment of benign conditions, is fundamental. In this study, we evaluated if local anesthesia should be enough to reduce both hospital costs and sedation-related risks for the patient, avoiding deep sedation and presence of the anesthesiologist. From July 2017 to August 2018, 14 consecutive...

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a frequent tumor that may be treated with radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA). RFA has been used with success also in treatment of pulmonary metastases from a wide range of primitive tumors, especially colorectal. Previous studies have shown that RFA con be used in treating HCC pulmonary metastases. Purpose of our study was a retrospective evaluation of overall survival and complication rates of percutaneous CT-guided radiofrequency...

Abstract RENAL score has been validated on predicting adverse events and relapses in percutaneous treatments of renal lesions. To better fit interventional issues a modified score (mRENAL) has been introduced, but the only difference from the RENAL score is on the dimensional parameter. However, it remains of surgical derivation while a specific interventional score is missing. This study aims to obtain a specific score (ABLATE) to better quantify the risk of complications and...

Abstract Lenvatinib is a long-awaited alternative to sorafenib for the first-line targeted therapy of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, resistance to lenvatinib has also become a major obstacle to improving the prognosis of HCC patients. The underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to lenvatinib resistance in HCC are largely unknown. HGF/c-MET axis activation is related to tumor progression and several hallmarks of cancer and is considered as...

Abstract Legal and political controversies persist about the performance of Kelsenian-type constitutional courts in democratic systems. One of the reasons is that the design of these institutions cannot easily accommodate simultaneous but conflicting demands for the strong protection of democracy and human rights, judicial independence and constitutional restraint. Challenging the dominant approach to the design of contemporary constitutional courts, this article proposes a new...
