Exacerbations are the basis for the mortality and morbidity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
A study was carried out to compare the quality and effectiveness to prevent exacerbations and assessment of outcomes in patients with severe and with very severe COPD, between a long-acting inhaled bronchodilator combined with an anti-inflammatory agent (Salmeterol/Fluticasone...read
Hematuria is a symptom that, when present, triggers a series of diagnostic assumptions requiring a number of important investigations to clarify its origin.
The first task is to get a description of the urine color: there is a significant difference between orange-red, brown-red, or bright red.
The medical history and the physical examination are very important, while the “the three...read

A new discovery on the role of the protein cdk9-55 in the regeneration of muscle tissue and in cell differentiation could lead to find new therapies for the reconstruction of muscle tissue damaged by disease, accidents or aging, as reported by the researchers of the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine of Temple University in Philadelphia, and of the University of Siena. In...read
Pain is an "epidemic" that hinders the full expression of life to millions of people, both in European countries and, even more, in the Mediterranean countries with lesser health-power. The World Health Organization indicates that pain is one of the main causes for which medical attention is requested, and represents a serious public health problem (1-3).
Defeating pain therefore allows people...read
The name is complicated; the disease even more so. This condition is also called: Charcot's disease, Lou-Gehrig disease, and Motor Neuron disease. This disease, which is very rare, devastating and fatal, is one of a group of neuromuscular disorders and, in turn, could be divided into various subclasses, because it presents in many different ways. The literal meaning of ALS is: A for...read
The new oral drug for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis called STRONTIUM RANELATE (OSSEOR), finds its rationale in the reduction of bone reabsorption and stimulation of bone formation.
Given the current increasing incidence of osteoporosis, because of longer life expectancy, and the place of occurrence of the disease (vertebral fractures), it is important to find the right treatment,...read

The concern of citizens for the potential health risk associated with waste disposal is increasingly heard. This is a dynamic that could lead to a general dissent from citizens concerned about a possible correlation with the risk of contracting serious diseases. In this case, epidemiological studies assume great importance. These studies conducted in North American countries as well as in Europe,...read
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is defined as a syndrome characterized by the migration of micro-organisms from the vagina and cervix to the endometrium, the fallopian tubes and adjacent structures. This results in the development of a broad spectrum of upper genital tract infections including endometritis, salpingitis, pio-salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess and pelvic-peritonitis. PID is common...read

In the past 14 years we have seen a gradual and steady decrease in the mortality rate from AIDS in industrialized countries. This new reality is obviously in close correlation with the improvement of therapeutic strategies that, since then, have included the use of highly active triple therapy (HAART), which today provide a number of new drug classes (integrase inhibitors, CCR5 inhibitors etc.)...read

The Salerno court Judge’s decision that for the first time granted a fertile couple to have access to pre-implantation diagnosis and assisted fertilization techniques, set a historical landmark.
The couple is a carrier of a serious hereditary disease, Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I, which is the most frequent genetic cause of death for children during the first year of life. Until now, the...read
