    Abstract Abdominal surgical site infections (SSIs) are infections that occur after abdominal surgery. They can be superficial, involving the skin tissue only, or more profound, involving deeper skin tissues including organs and implanted materials. Currently, SSIs are large global health problem with an incidence that varies significantly depending on the United Nations' Human Development Index. The purpose of this review is to provide a practical update on the latest available literature on SSIs, focusing on causative pathogens and treatment with an overview of the ongoing studies of new therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Background: Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is frequently administered to patient undergoing joint replacement surgical procedures. The aim of the present research was to verify the safety of collected shed blood to be reinfused postoperatively, by measuring levobupivacaine levels in drainage blood in patients undergoing LIA during knee replacement surgery.
    Patients and methods: 24 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and 12 scheduled for total hip arthroplasty (THA) who received intraoperative LIA were considered. Blood samples were collected from shed blood which was present in drainage 2 and 5 hours after surgery and serum was analysed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
    Results: At 2 hours postoperatively, the median levobupivacaine serum concentration in the collected shed blood was 1.2 mg/L (SD: 4.2) for TKA and 17.13 mg/L (SD: 24.4) for THA. At 5 hours, levobupivacaine concentration was 1.84 mg/L (SD: 2.2) for TKA and 17.5 mg/L (SD: 25.2) for THA. Higher values of average serum levobupivacaine concentration were reported in drains collected from patients who had undergone THA compared to TKA (p<0.001). BMI significantly influenced levels of serum drug, that resulted to be higher in patients with BMI<25 (p= 0.01).
    Conclusion: Levobupivacaine from collected shed blood that would have been returned to the patient, was below toxicity level at 2 and 5 hours after LIA during total joint replacement. The average serum levobupivacaine concentration was found to be higher in drains taken from THA patients than TKA patients. Patients with lower BMI demonstrated the highest levels of levobupivacaine in shed blood and a lower blood volume needed for central nervous system toxicity. Therefore, in patients with a lower BMI undergoing THA, anaesthetic dosage should be reduced or autotransfusion should be avoided to prevent potential risks of toxicity.

    Abstract Varicocele treatment in infertility still remains controversial. It is clear, in fact, that in many patients, varicocele has no impact on fertility. Recent scientific evidence demonstrated that varicocele treatment is beneficial in improving semen parameters and pregnancy rate when an appropriate selection of patients is made. The purpose of treating varicocele in adults is mainly to improve current fertility status. On the other hand, the goal of treatment in adolescents is to prevent testicular injury and maintain testicular function for future fertility. Hence, the key to the success of varicocele treatment seems to be a correct indication. The aim of this study is to review and summarize current evidence in managing varicocele treatment focusing on the controversies regarding surgical indications in adolescent and adult patients, and in other specific situations such as azoospermia, bilateral or subclinical varicocele, and prior to ART.

    Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) symptomatology differs between females and males, yet the contribution of sex on sleep problems needs further analysis. Here, we aimed to investigate sex-specific patterns in the relationship between sleep problems, assessed using the Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS-2), non motor symptoms (NMS), measured by the NMS scale (NMSS), and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), evaluated by the Parkinson's disease questionnaire (PDQ-39), in a large cohort of PD patients. One-hundred-fifty-four PD patients were included in the study. Female PD patients (n = 62) exhibited a higher prevalence of sleep problems than males (n = 92), with nocturnal motor-related sleep issues being the most frequent. Sleep disturbances differently correlated with a range of NMS between the two sexes. In females, sleep problems mostly correlated with pain; on the other hand, sleep disturbances were linked to a frailer phenotype characterized by global dysautonomia, perception disturbances, and impaired cognitive function in males. Whether female PD patients experienced a lower HR-QoL than males, sleep disturbances were associated with a worse HR-QoL in both sexes. In conclusion, sleep problems in PD differently burden the two sexes, suggesting possible different etiopathogenesis, diagnostic investigations, and possibly tailored approaches.

    Abstract Purpose: It is debatable whether or not previous high tibial osteotomy (HTO) has negative effects on the results of subsequent medial unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR). The purpose of this study is to report, through a systematic review of the literature, the outcomes of medial UKR after failed HTO. It was hypothesized that this procedure would be safe and effective in providing satisfactory postoperative functional outcomes.
    Methods: A systematic review was performed by searching Pubmed/MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL. Only studies in English pertaining to all levels of evidence reporting on subjects undergoing UKR following HTO were considered. Review articles and expert opinion or editorial pieces were excluded. Outcomes of interest included indications, surgical technique and associated procedures, type of prosthesis, clinical and functional outcomes, rate of complications, revision surgery and failure rate.
    Results: Overall, six studies met all the inclusion criteria for this review. All were published between 2006 and 2021. The search resulted in one prospective comparative study, four retrospective comparative cohort studies, and one retrospective cohort study. Average follow-up periods ranged from 1 to 13 years. From these studies, 115 patients (117 knees) were identified. Overall, most studies reported satisfying postoperative clinical and functional outcomes. Implant survivorship ranged from 66 to 97.6%. In 15 patients, revision surgery was performed due to persistent pain.
    Conclusions: Medial UKR performed after failed HTO appears as a feasible procedure providing satisfying outcomes and limited complications in most cases. Further prospective comparative studies reporting long-term outcomes are needed, as high-level studies on this topic are lacking.

    Abstract Infections acquired in public spaces (i.e., transports, restaurants, and bars, hospitals) present a serious burden for the entire health systems. In this respect, appropriate preventative and control measures in order to eliminate or reduce the negative effects of surface-transmitted infections appear highly desirable. Alongside recommendations for treatment and hygiene, antimicrobial material surfaces can offer indeed an important contribution to the prevention of infections. The aim of the current paper is therefore to describe the preparation and characterization of a new material obtained by an innovative anodic oxidation, defined as golden hard anodizing GHA. The anodic oxide surface thanks to the nanoporous structure acts as reservoir of silver ions (Ag

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the functional, radiological, and clinical outcomes of patellofemoral joint in patients who had total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without patellar resurfacing for end-stage osteoarthritis using inverse restricted kinematic alignment (irKA) compared to a control group using adjusted mechanical alignment (aMA), both executed with the same implant at the same Institution. The hypothesis was that patients undergoing TKA without patellar resurfacing for end-stage osteoarthritis using irKA would have superior outcomes related to the patellofemoral joint in comparison to a control group using aMA.
    Methods: A retrospective examination of registries' prospectively obtained from patients who underwent primary TKA at our Institution between 2016 and 2020 was performed. 40 consecutive patients who underwent TKA implant using irKA were compared to a control group of 80 who had undergone adjusted mechanically-aligned TKA. Groups were matched for age and body mass index. Clinical assessment included Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Knee Society Score (KSS), and Kujala Knee Score. Standard weight-bearing anteroposterior and lateral view x-rays were used for radiographic evaluation. Patellar height was assessed using Caton-Deschamps (C-D) and Insall index on lateral view films.
    Results: In comparison to pre-operative status, both groups had postoperative improvements in VAS, KOOS, KSS, and Kujala ratings (p
    Conclusion: Improvements in post-operative clinical and functional outcomes following TKA were associated with either irKA or aMA. There were no discernible changes between the two groups in terms of postoperative patellofemoral discomfort or variations in patellar height.
