    Abstract The 37th San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) was held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Conference Centre in San Antonio, Texas, USA between the 9 and 13th of December 2014. It brought together an interaction between basic scientists and clinicians involved in the management of breast cancer. The symposium included six general sessions, poster discussion, and poster sessions. The most important highlights in the fields of advancing endocrine therapy; hormone receptor positive advanced breast cancer and hormonal resistant therapy; targeted therapies; genetics and genomics; supportive (adjunct) care; chemotherapy treatments; breast screening and risk stratification; male breast cancer and future potential directions were included here.

    Abstract Tumors can manifest in various forms and in different areas of the human body. Brain tumors are specifically hard to diagnose and treat because of the complexity of the organ in which they develop. Detecting them in time can lower the chances of death and facilitate the therapy process for patients. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, more specifically, deep learning, has the potential to significantly reduce costs in terms of time and resources for the discovery and identification of tumors from images obtained through imaging techniques. This research work aims to assess the performance of a multimodal model for the classification of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans processed as grayscale images. The results are promising, and in line with similar works, as the model reaches an accuracy of around 98\%. We also highlight the need for explainability and transparency to ensure human control and safety.

    Abstract The present work focuses on how to build a wearable brain-computer interface (BCI). BCIs are a novel means of human-computer interaction that relies on direct measurements of brain signals to assist both people with disabilities and those who are able-bodied. Application examples include robotic control, industrial inspection, and neurorehabilitation. Notably, recent studies have shown that steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) are particularly suited for communication and control applications, and efforts are currently being made to bring BCI technology into daily life. To achieve this aim, the final system must rely on wearable, portable, and low-cost instrumentation. In exploiting SSVEPs, a flickering visual stimulus with fixed frequencies is required. Thus, in considering daily-life constraints, the possibility to provide visual stimuli by means of smart glasses was explored in this study. Moreover, to detect the elicited potentials, a commercial device for electroencephalography (EEG) was considered. This consists of a single differential channel with dry electrodes (no conductive gel), thus achieving the utmost wearability and portability. In such a BCI, the user can interact with the smart glasses by merely staring at icons appearing on the display. Upon this simple principle, a user-friendly, low-cost BCI was built by integrating extended reality (XR) glasses with a commercially available EEG device. The functionality of this wearable XR-BCI was examined with an experimental campaign involving 20 subjects. The classification accuracy was between 80%-95% on average depending on the stimulation time. Given these results, the system can be used as a human-machine interface for industrial inspection but also for rehabilitation in ADHD and autism.

    Abstract The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using a Full Flight Simulator (FFS) as an experimental setup for passengers' comfort analysis. Results based on subjective measurements are thus presented to assess comfort levels experienced during a simulated flight. A preliminary investigation has been conducted on a sample of 125 candidates to gain insight into the elements influencing the comfort level perceived based on the participants' actual flight experience; this suggested that the seat configuration is of great importance. Then, the experiment carried out by means of the FFS have been conducted on a reduced sample of 20 candidates for economic and organizational reasons. The behaviour of the 65% of the candidates has been analysed in a seating configuration comparable to the seat of a business-class aircraft. While the experience of the remaining 35% has been studied in an economy-type seat arrangement. Although the main variable under consideration was the seat, several environmental parameters were also considered during the experimental tests to evaluate their effects on perceived comfort level. During each simulated flight, passengers have been subjected to different levels of light intensity, noise, temperature and vibration associated with the different flight phases. Subjective data were collected using a questionnaire concerning every parameter and submitted to the passengers for each flight phase. The aim of varying the environmental parameters inside the cabin was to look for a relation between the subjective comfort level and each comfort parameter. In addition to perceived comfort based on the questionnaire, statistical analysis with parametric and non parametric tests revealed significant effects of environmental variables.

    Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy has several advantages in gastrointestinal surgery. This systematic review determined whether similar benefits exist for bariatric surgical procedures by systematically searching the MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases. Six studies including 629 patients who underwent 2D (386) and 3D (243) laparoscopic bariatric surgeries were selected. Operative time was significantly shorter in patients undergoing 3D laparoscopic gastric bypass (pooled standardized mean difference [SMD] 1.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.22-0.15). Similarly, a shorter hospital stay was detected both during sleeve gastrectomy (SMD 0.42, 95% CI 0.70-0.13) and gastric bypass (SMD 0.39, 95% CI 0.64-0.14) with 3D laparoscopy. The study showed the potential benefit of 3D imaging in preventing intra- and postoperative complications. Despite the limited evidence, surgeons may benefit from 3D laparoscopy during bariatric surgery.

    Abstract This study delves into Green Infrastructure (GI) planning in Brindisi, Italy, evaluating its influence on urban air quality and thermal comfort. Employing an LCZ-centered Geographic Information System (GIS)-based classification protocol, the prevalence of LCZ 6 (Open low-rise) and LCZ 2 (Compact mid-rise) is highlighted. Despite generally low PM 10 levels in Brindisi, intermittent NOx spikes surpassing WHO and EU standards pose health risks. Within LCZ 2, diverse GI interventions (green walls, hedges, trees) were tested, with green walls emerging as the most effective, albeit falling short of expectations, while trees exhibited adverse air quality impacts. LCZ 6 demonstrated enhanced air quality attributed to wind patterns, GI, and urban canyon improvements. Thermal comfort analysis consistently revealed positive outcomes across various GI types, reducing discomfort by a minimum of 10%. The study emphasized GI’s favorable comfort impact on sidewalks but cautioned against trees in street canyons with aspect ratios exceeding 0.7, heightening pollutant levels and implying increased exposure risks. Conversely, street canyons with lower aspect ratios displayed variable conditions influenced by prevailing regional wind patterns. In conclusion, the integrated assessment of LCZ and GI holds promise for informed urban planning, guiding decisions that prioritize healthier, more sustainable cities. This underscores the crucial need to balance GI strategies for optimal urban development, aligning with the overarching goal of promoting urban well-being and sustainability.

    Abstract Pseudoaneurysm (PA) following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a rare and dangerous complication. In recent years endovascular approach has been preferred to open surgery as it is less invasive and reduces complications in an already operated neck, especially cranial nerve injuries. We report a case of large post-CEA PA causing dysphagia, successfully treated by deployment of two balloon-expandable covered stents and coil embolization of the external carotid artery. A literature review dealing with all cases of post-CEA PAs since 2000 treated by endovascular means is also reported. The research was conducted on Pubmed database using keywords "carotid pseudoaneurysm after carotid endarterectomy," "false aneurysm after carotid endarterectomy," "postcarotid endarterectomy pseudoaneurysm," and "carotid pseudoaneurysm."
