Article Abstract

The pandemic diffusion of the SARS-CoV-2 infection throughout the world required measures to prevent and strategies to control the infection, as well as the reallocation of the hospital structures in order to take care of an increased number of infected patients. Endoscopy Units should be able to perform endoscopic procedures on COVID-19 infected as well as on noninfected patients. The aim of this manuscript is to propose a model for a fast reorganization of the endoscopy department environment in order to safely perform endoscopic procedures in this Pandemic COVID-19 scenario, according to the current advices given by the Scientific Societies.

Biofouling often occurs simultaneously with fogging, presenting significant challenges to visibility, safety, and operational efficiency. The development of biocompatible coatings that offer both antifouling performance and stability under fogging conditions is highly sought after. A method to form multifunctional coatings is presented, utilizing a zwitterionic nanocellulose composite material that demonstrates both antifogging and antifouling properties, suitable for application on various surfaces.

Background: Patients with T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) often show poor adherence to guideline-recommended treatment strategies after endoscopic resection. To address this challenge and improve clinical decision-making, this study aims to compare the accuracy of surgical management recommendations between large language models (LLMs) and clinicians.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 202 patients with T1 CRC who underwent endoscopic resection at three hospitals.

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) may rarely worsen after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to mechanical interference from the transcatheter heart valve (THV). Standard surgical approaches in these cases are often challenging due to anatomical constraints. Thus, there is a need for the development of effective alternatives to address this issue.

We describe a case of a 64-year-old obese woman with a history of severe acute cholecystitis and choledocholithias who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our clinic after endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy and stent insertion. On the first operative day, a significant bile leakage of 400 ml appeared in the drainage. An immediate surgical revision was performed, starting by laparoscopy with conversion to open surgery.
