Prevalence of sacroiliitis on magnetic resonance enterography in Crohn's disease and its association with intestinal findings: a monocentric observational cross-sectional study.

Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is recommended for the assessment of small intestine alterations in Crohn's disease (CD). Sacroiliac joints (SIJs) imaging has a central role in the early diagnosis of sacroiliitis (SI). MRE can evaluate both acute and structural findings of SIJs.

Role of Pectoralis Muscle Analysis in Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Body Composition Evaluation Before and After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer.

: sarcopenia is a physical condition characterized by the loss of muscle mass and strength; it is associated with worse outcomes in oncological diseases and is recognized as an independent predictor of poor survival. The aim of our work is to evaluate the correlation between the pectoralis muscles area (PMA) calculated in breast MRI examinations and the body composition parameters assessed in CT examinations, in order to identify a threshold useful for diagnosing sarcopenia in breast cancer patients who are candidates for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), so as to be able to provide the correct nutritional counselling. : we included 116 patients with non-metastatic breast cancer, who were studied with MRI before and after NACT, in the 2018-2023 period.

IDEAL study: A real-world assessment of pattern of use and clinical outcomes with recombinant coagulation factor IX albumin fusion protein (rIX-FP) in patients with haemophilia B in Italy.

Introduction: Factor IX replacement therapy is used for treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in haemophilia B. rIX-FP is an extended half-life albumin-fusion protein, which, in clinical studies, has demonstrated prolonged dosing intervals up to 21 days for routine prophylaxis, providing therapeutic benefit.

Aims: To describe dosing frequency and consumption (primary endpoint), efficacy and safety of rIX-FP treatment during routine clinical practice in Italy.
