Real-World Antibiotic Strategies for Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Evidence from the Italian SUSANA Multicentre Study

Background/Objectives: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and bloodstream infections (BSI) remain challenging because of their severity, limited therapeutic options, and high mortality, despite the availability of novel β-lactam-based agents. We aimed to d...

Burned Area Evidence for Process-Sensitive Post-Fire Hydrogeomorphic Monitoring Across Mediterranean and Iberian–Atlantic Regions

In operational terms, post-fire landscapes require monitoring priorities that reflect hydrogeomorphic susceptibility rather than burned extent alone. This study tests whether European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) burned area evidence, combined with open terrain, rainfal...

Discontinuous Peripheral Punctate Echogenic Foci in Thyroid Nodules: A New Sonographic Pattern Suggestive of Papillary Carcinoma

Background: Ultrasound risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules worldwide describe different types of echogenic foci, including punctate echogenic foci (microcalcifications), coarse internal calcifications, and peripheral (rim) calcifications (complete or incomplete), with...

Combined Fine Needle Cytology and Core Needle Biopsy of the Liver in One Setting: An Experience of 29 Cases

INTRODUCTION: Core needle biopsy (CNB) and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) are routinely used in the diagnosis of hepatic nodules. Despite their advantages, both procedures have certain limitations. Recently, the combined use of FNAC and CNB in the same setting has been ex...

Multimodal Assessment of Tissue Response After Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation: Clinical, Imaging, Histopathological and Molecular Insights

Background: Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become an established minimally invasive treatment for selected benign and autonomously functioning thyroid nodules. Although clinical outcomes are well documented, the biological mechanisms underlying tissue remodel...
