Superficial Peritoneal Endometriosis Beyond Surgical Diagnosis: A Narrative Review of Emerging Functional and Molecular Perspectives

Background and Objectives: Superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) remains one of the most difficult endometriosis phenotypes to diagnose non-invasively, because lesions are frequently small, multifocal, and poorly detectable using conventional imaging. Diagnostic laparoscopy...

Readmission to hospital after thoracic trauma: better safe than sorry! the predictive read score

Thoracic trauma accounts for approximately 10–15% of trauma admissions and contributes substantially to trauma-related morbidity and mortality. Readmission rates for thoracic trauma have not been investigated thus far; thus, the purpose of this retrospective study is to reduce pa...

Clinical-histological and genetic features of rare variants of melanoma.

Melanoma is traditionally classified into a limited number of common clinicopathologic subtypes; however, routine clinical and histopathologic practice reveals a broad spectrum of rare variants and unusual morphologic patterns that pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic chal...

Schizophrenia Beyond Genome-Wide Association Studies: It’s About Time

The discovery of potentially many hundreds of risk genes for schizophrenia does not resolve the mystery of the illness at the level of an individual. The diversity of implicated gene functions has encouraged speculation that there are convergent biological pathways that mediate r...

Burden of Dementia in Europe, 1990–2023: a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023
