DISE and Rhinomanometry Correlates of Response to Head‐of‐Bed Elevation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

OBJECTIVES: To identify endoscopic and rhinomanometric correlation of response to 30° head-of-bed elevation (HOBE) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to explore whether upper airway (UA) collapse patterns and nasal resistance are associated with positional improv...

Cancer in systemic sclerosis: clinical associations and prognostic impact from the EUSTAR registry

BACKGROUND: Cancer represents a major cause of mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Established risk factors are limited to specific subsets, particularly early diffuse anti-RNA polymerase III (POLR3)-positive disease, needing further exploration. METHODS: We performed a nested...

Job search behaviors and employment success among nursing graduates: a cross-sectional observational study

Early-career employment represents a critical transition for newly graduated nurses, influencing professional identity, retention, and workforce stability. While transition-to-practice programs, work environment, and turnover have been widely studied, limited research has examine...

Multidisciplinary Delphi consensus-based recommendations on the use of image-guided radiotherapy for upper gastrointestinal tumours: an AIRO–AITRO–AIFM study

Abstract Objectives Upper gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies represent one of the most challenging scenarios for image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Despite technological advances, clinical practice remains heterogeneous among centres. This national, multidisciplinary Delphi consen...

Ultrasound-Guided Retroperitoneoscopic Lumbar Sympathetic Chain Selective Clamping with Indocyanine Green-Assisted Access: A Technical Note

Background: Primary plantar hyperhidrosis is a disabling condition characterized by excessive plantar sweating and impaired quality of life. Lumbar sympathectomy is reserved for patients with symptoms refractory to conservative treatment, but minimally invasive techniques remain...

Semi-inlay and onlay humeral stems in reverse shoulder arthroplasty achieve comparable outcomes through different patterns of glenoid and humeral lateralization and distalization: A retrospective study from the FP-UCBM Shoulder Study Group

Background Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has evolved through different humeral stem designs to optimize biomechanics and minimize complications. Although inlay and onlay configurations differ in geometry and bone preservation, their clinical outcomes often appear similar. T...
