Abstract	Objective: Prior research has suggested a possible connection between vaccination and manifestations of Sickness Behavior; however, a need remains to first delve deeper into this association and second examine how Interoceptive Awareness and emotional factors may modulate individuals' perceptions of their health status post vaccination. Method: An online retrospective cross-sectional survey of 647 individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccination was conducted. Together with vaccination side effects, socio-demographic characteristics, health status, level of concern about vaccination, and Interoceptive Awareness were collected at the baseline level. Mood, sleep, and Sickness Behavior were assessed at baseline and after vaccination. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics and machine learning techniques. Results: After vaccination, there was a significant increase in Sickness Behavior levels (mean (±SD) SicknessQ T0 = 1.57 (±2.72), mean (±SD) SicknessQ T1 = 5.54 (±5.51); Conclusions: Our results provide new insight into post-immune reactions by highlighting the contribution of Interoceptive Awareness in modulating the severity of Sickness Behavior. This sheds light on the role of awareness of bodily sensations in modulating perceptions of health status, helping to identify the characteristics that make individuals more prone to feeling sick.

Abstract	Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a pathology typically diagnosed in childhood. Nevertheless, some clinically silent cases may be unnoticed until adulthood. Case description: We report the case of a 53-year-old female with hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction stenosis diagnosed in the adulthood, who subsequently developed obstruction with progressive worsening of renal function without symptoms. Conclusion: The natural history of ureteropelvic junction obstruction is still obscure. Diuretic renogram is the gold standard for diagnosis and follow-up of ureteropelvic junction obstruction, but is weak in predicting the evolution of the disease, especially in patients with vague symptoms. Conservative treatment of adult patient with equivocal ureteropelvic junction obstruction seems reasonable, but requires a close clinical follow-up and strict patient compliance in order to promptly identify significant obstruction.

Abstract	The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation is an effective treatment of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI). Still, it may result in troublesome complications such as intraoperative urethral lesion and postoperative erosion. Based on the multilayered structure of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa, we evaluated an alternative transalbugineal surgical technique of AUS cuff placement with the aim to decrease perioperative morbidity while preserving the integrity of the corpora cavernosa. A retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral center from September 2012 to October 2021, including 47 consecutive patients undergoing AUS (AMS800

Abstract	Zinner syndrome (ZS) is a rare congenital malformation due to abnormal development of the urogenital tract. It is caused by a growth failure of the distal part of the Müllerian duct in early embryogenesis. It is characterised by the triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. Over the years, several cases have been reported in the literature since the initial report by Zinner in 1914. This syndrome is frequently misdiagnosed because it may present different patterns and the symptoms may be not specific. In this paper, we present two patients with two different patterns of presentation of Zinner syndrome.

Abstract	Aerosol production represents a major concern during the majority of dental procedures. The aim of the present study is to investigate the dynamics of aerosol particles after 15 min of continuous supragingival ultrasonic instrumentation with no attempt of containment through particle count analysis. Eight volunteers were treated with supragingival ultrasonic instrumentation of the anterior buccal region. A gravimetric impactor was positioned 1 m away and at the same height of the head of the patient. Particles of different sizes (0.3-10 µm) were measured at the beginning of instrumentation, at the end of instrumentation (EI), and then every 15 min up to 105 min. The 0.3-µm particles showed non-significant increases at 15/30 min. The 0.5-1-µm particles increased at EI (

Abstract	Everyone talks about the metaverse but few know what it really is. Augmented reality, virtual reality, internet of things (IoT), 5G, blockchain: these are just some of the technologies underlying the structure of the metaverse, a sort of parallel dimension in which the physical and virtual worlds merge together enabling users to interact by emerging technologies in order to enhance their actions and decisions. The healthcare scientific community is already looking at the metaverse as a new research frontier, a tool to improve medical knowledge and patient care. We reviewed the metaverse applications and services, looking for those that could best be developed in the urological field. Urology, due to its technological nature, is a privileged laboratory for experimenting and exploiting the applications of the metaverse both inside and outside the operating room. The revolution of the metaverse is already happening, which is why it is necessary that urologists face it as protagonists in order to lead it in the right direction.

Abstract	Plant sterols/phytosterols (PSs) are molecules with a similar structure to cholesterol that have a recognized effect on elevated LDL concentrations (LDL-c). PSs are used as a natural therapy against elevated LDL-c in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the efficacy of PS-enriched foods in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Randomized controlled clinical studies reporting the use of PS-enriched foods to reduce LDL-c among adult individuals were retrieved and assessed for risk of bias. Meta-analyses were performed to assess changes in LDL-c by treatment, food matrix, LDL-c range, sterols dosage and risk of bias (RoB). In the 13 studies analyzed, LDL-c in PS-treated participants decreased by an average of 12.14 (8.98; 15.29) mg/dL. PS administration was statistically more effective in patients with LDL-c ≥ 140 mg/dL and for PS dosages > 2 g/day. It can be concluded that PSs can be used as an important primary prevention measure for hypercholesterolemia and as tertiary prevention for cardiovascular events in patients who already have mild to moderate LDL-c. However, in severe hypercholesterolemia and in cases of familial hypercholesterolemia, it is necessary to combine dietary treatment with the use of statins.

Abstract	Improving the cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces is one of the core components of reducing healthcare-associated infections. The effectiveness of an enhanced protocol applying UV-C irradiation for terminal room disinfection between two successive patients was evaluated. Twenty high-touch surfaces in different critical areas were sampled according to ISO 14698-1, both immediately pre- and post-cleaning and disinfection standard operating protocol (SOP) and after UV-C disinfection (160 sampling sites in each condition, 480 in total). Dosimeters were applied at the sites to assess the dose emitted. A total of 64.3% (103/160) of the sampling sites tested after SOP were positive, whereas only 17.5% (28/160) were positive after UV-C. According to the national hygienic standards for health-care setting, 9.3% (15/160) resulted in being non-compliant after SOP and only 1.2% (2/160) were non-compliant after UV-C disinfection. Operation theaters was the setting that resulted in being less compliant with the standard limit (≤15 colony-forming unit/24 cm

Abstract	The incidence of bladder cancer (BC) depends on advancing age and other risk factors, significantly impacting on surgical, functional and oncological outcomes. Radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion is the gold standard therapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer; however, it remains a complex surgery and requires careful analysis of risk factors in order to potentially decrease post-surgical complication rates. Age in surgery is a limiting factor that can modify surgical and oncological outcomes, and is correlated with a high rate of post-dimssion hospital readmissions. The reconstruction of the bladder with the intestine represents a crucial point of radical cystectomy and the urinary derivation (UD) is at the center of many debates. A non-continent UD seems to be the best choice in elderly patients (>75 years old), while orthotopic neobladder (ON) is poorly practiced. We reviewed the literature to identify studies reporting outcomes, complications, patient- selection criteria, and quality-of-life data on elderly patients, who underwent ON following radical cystectomy. Reviewing the literature there is no clear evidence on the use of age as an exclusion criterion. Certainly, the elderly patient with multiple comorbidities is not eligible for ON, preferring other UD or rescue therapies. A careful preoperative selection of elderly patients could greatly improve clinical, surgical and oncological outcomes, giving the chance to selected patients to receive an ON.
