    Abstract We present the case of a 52-year-old male patient with recurrence of a soft-tissue sarcoma of the left leg treated with percutaneous laser ablation. The patient received the diagnosis of sarcoma for the first time in 2011; further local recurrences and a pulmonary metastatic spread occurred during follow-up, so the patient has been treated several times with chemotherapy, limb-sparing surgery and radiotherapy. In September 2017, a new local recurrence of sarcoma occurred, for which limb amputation was proposed but refused by the patient. Laser ablation with ultrasound guidance was performed, with complete ablation at 6 months and limb salvage.

    Abstract Nutrition and pulmonary function in very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) are strictly related. Preterm infants on noninvasive ventilation may have respiratory instability that can interfere with feeding tolerance. Moreover, feeding may impair pulmonary function. These infants have nutritional requirements different from nonventilated infants. The main challenge of the nutritional support in such patients is to guarantee adequate caloric intake while avoiding episodes of feeding intolerance. The aim of this study was to review the issues and strategies of enteral feeding of preterm infants on noninvasive ventilation.

    Abstract Aim of the study: To compare the diagnostic performance of a commercially available computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for thyroid ultrasound (US) with that of a non-computer-aided radiologist in the characterization of low-to-high suspicion thyroid nodules.
    Methods: This retrospective study included a consecutive series of adult patients referred for US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of a thyroid nodule. All patients were eligible for thyroid nodule FNAB according to the current international guidelines. An interventional radiologist experienced in thyroid imaging acquired the US images subsequently used for post-processing, performed FNAB and provided the US features of each nodule. A radiology resident and an endocrinology resident in consensus performed post-processing using the CAD system to assess the same nodule characteristics. The diagnostic performance and agreement of US features between the CAD system and the radiologist were compared.
    Results: Sixty-two patients (50 F; age 60 ± 12 years) were enrolled: 77.4% (48/62) of thyroid nodules were benign, 22.6% (14/62) were undetermined to malignant and required follow-up or surgery. Interobserver agreement between the CAD system and the radiologist was substantial for orientation (K = 0.69), fair for composition (K = 0.36), echogenicity (K = 0.36), K-TIRADS (K = 0.29), and slight for margins (K = 0.03). The radiologist demonstrated a significantly higher sensitivity than the CAD system (78.6% vs. 21.4%; P = 0.008), while there was no statistical difference in specificity (66.7% vs. 81.3%; P = 0.065).
    Conclusion: This CAD system is less sensitive than an experienced radiologist and showed slight-to-substantial agreement with the radiologist for the characterization of thyroid nodules. Although it is an innovative tool with good potential, additional efforts are needed to improve its diagnostic performance.

    Abstract Benign thyroid nodules are a common disease in the general population. Most often, they are completely asymptomatic and discovered occasionally during routine ultrasound examinations, and do not require any treatment. When thyroid nodules become symptomatic, surgical excision is still considered standard treatment. In the last few years, several experiences in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules through image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation have been reported with encouraging results, so that currently, these treatments are often proposed as first-choice options for patients with symptomatic benign thyroid nodules. In this paper, we discuss the present literature on the topic, focusing on different techniques available for image-guided percutaneous ablation, particularly radiofrequency (RFA), laser (LA), microwave (MWA), and high-intensity-focus ultrasound (HIFU). Little evidence about the efficacy of MWA and HIFU is now available. According to the literature, good results have been obtained with RFA and LA. Regarding RFA, volume reduction after ablative treatment has been found to range from 47 to 84 % at 3-6 months, and from 62 to 93 % at 1 year; LA also seems to be effective in achieving shrinkage of thyroid nodules, with volume reduction from 37 to 81 % at 3-6 months, and from 13 to 82 % at 1-year follow-up. Moreover, applications of advanced image-guidance modality, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound and virtual navigation with fusion imaging, are discussed.

    Abstract Upon combining bidimensional electrophoresis with monodimensional separation, a more comprehensive analysis of the milk fat globule membrane has been obtained. The proteomic profile of caprine milk fat globules revealed the presence of butyrophilin, lactadherin and perilipin as the major proteins, they were also associated to bovine and human milk fat globule membranes. Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase has been detected only in monodimensional gels. Biological activity of milk fat globules has been evaluated in Caco2-cells, as a representative model of the intestinal barrier. The increase of cell viability was indicative of a potential nutraceutical role for the whole milk fat globule, suggesting a possible employment in milk formula preparation.

    Abstract Minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can be measured either by flow cytometry to detect leukemic immunophenotypes or by PCR amplification of fusion transcripts, gene mutations and overexpressed genes. Flow cytometry MRD is widely applicable but has an intermediate sensitivity; PCR MRD is highly sensitive but has a restricted applicability. MRD, measured at different time points throughout AML treatment, has proven to powerfully predict the risk of relapse. Acute promyelocytic leukemia, a subtype of AML, represents an excellent example of systematic evaluation and established clinical application of MRD performed by PCR. However, a standardization of MRD techniques, threshold levels, time-points and clinical interventions based on its results is still needed in this field. This article is focused on the current available information on MRD as a prognostic marker in childhood AML.
