    Abstract Background: Giant adrenal tumours are tumours with size ≥6 cm. These are rare cancer associated with malignancy in 25% of cases.
    Patients and methods: A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of patients admitted to our high-volume centre of Careggi University Hospital with a giant adrenal tumour and submitted to adrenalectomy between January 2008 and December 2018. The group of patients who underwent to laparoscopic adrenalectomy was compared with a group of patients that was submitted to open adrenalectomy.
    Results: In the past 10 years, we performed about 245 adrenalectomies for benign and malignant adrenal tumours. Fifty (20.4%) of these were giant tumours. The medium size was 9.9 cm (7-22 cm). The mean age was 57 years (21-81 years). Thirty-four (68%) of these cancers were laparoscopically removed and 16 (32%) with an open approach. The surgical outcomes in these patients were optimal if compared to the group of patients submitted to open approach in terms of good pain control, hospital stay, mean operative time and bloodless. No difference was observed about post-operative complications in the two groups. The follow-up after 30 months for malignant tumours did not show local recurrences.
    Conclusion: Our results pinpoint the advantages of performing a laparoscopic adrenalectomy for giant adrenal tumours. The tumour size is only a predictive parameter of possible malignancy, and the laparoscopic approach is a safe and feasible method in terms of surgical and oncological, only if performed by expert surgeons and in high-volume centres.

    Abstract Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. is a widely spread foliose lichen showing high tolerance against UV-radiation thanks to parietin, a secondary lichen substance. We exposed samples of X. parietina under simulated Martian conditions for 30 days to explore its survivability. The lichen's vitality was monitored via chlorophyll a fluorescence that gives an indication for active light reaction of photosynthesis, performing in situ and after-treatment analyses. Raman spectroscopy and TEM were used to evaluate carotenoid preservation and possible variations in the photobiont's ultrastructure respectively. Significant differences in the photo-efficiency between UV irradiated samples and dark-kept samples were observed. Fluorescence values correlated with temperature and humidity day-night cycles. The photo-efficiency recovery showed that UV irradiation caused significant effects on the photosynthetic light reaction. Raman spectroscopy showed that the carotenoid signal from UV exposed samples decreased significantly after the exposure. TEM observations confirmed that UV exposed samples were the most affected by the treatment, showing chloroplastidial disorganization in photobionts' cells. Overall, X. parietina was able to survive the simulated Mars conditions, and for this reason it may be considered as a candidate for space long-term space exposure and evaluations of the parietin photodegradability.

    Abstract Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) refers to the sudden onset of intestinal hypoperfusion that can also result from splanchnic venous occlusion. The portomesenteric venous system (PMVS) is an unusual site of thrombosis in patients with protein S deficiency and its obstruction is a rare cause of AMI. Aim of this report is to illustrate a successful strategy in a case of massive small bowel infarction managed with an open abdomen (OA) approach.
    Case presentation: A 64 year-old woman presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, diarrhea and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) showed small bowel ischemia and the complete occlusion of all the PMVS branches. Surgery was performed with an OA approach and anticoagulation was immediately begun. Further workup revealed isolated protein S deficiency and history of atrophic gastritis. Thromboprophylaxis with warfarin was started on discharge and no recurrence of thrombotic events was recorded during the one-year follow-up.
    Discussion: PMVS thrombosis related to protein S deficiency is a rare condition that can rapidly lead to an acute abdomen. CECT is the gold standard, because it detects splanchnic thrombosis and its possible complications, like bowel ischemia. In case of surgery, a planned second-look operation is the best strategy to assess bowel viability and possible ischemic progression.
    Conclusions: OA management plays a fundamental role in case of resection for bowel ischemia. Patients with thrombosis at an uncommon site should be further investigated for prothrombotic states.

    Abstract The history of adrenal surgery is longstanding. Firstly described in 1889 by Thornton, the open adrenalectomy has been for decades the only surgical approach to adrenal diseases. Nowadays, instead, several approaches to adrenal glands have been described in the literature, such as laparoscopic adrenalectomy, robotic-assisted procedure and single-incision technique. Actually, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered as the gold standard treatment for adrenal lesions. In fact, all functional tumors, including pheochromocytoma, are candidates for a laparoscopic approach in the absence of other contraindications. In the adrenal gland surgery, it is important to consider that a multidisciplinary approach which comprises surgeons, anesthesiologists, endocrinologists, and oncologists plays an important role in the management of patients and that the success of the procedure is related also to surgeon experience and hospital volume. This review aims to discuss the indications for adrenalectomy and to describe the different techniques options for the adrenal gland surgery.

    Abstract Jejunoileal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are frequently multifocal and represent a consistent source of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). We report the real-life case of a female presenting to our attention for severe episodes of haematochezia caused by multiple localisation of jejunoileal NETs. A discrepancy between pre-operative total body contrast-enhancement computed tomography scan and capsule endoscopy (CE) emerged, in terms of numbers of lesions, so that, as completeness, an intraoperative balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) was carried out, leading to the detection of the multiple lesions missed during CE. In case of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding sources missed by capsule endoscopy, laparoscopic-assisted balloon enteroscopy plays an essential role, allowing both to assess a precise diagnosis and to resect the intestinal bleeding tract.
