Cassandra study: new protocol for the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Those who have been living with reflux for many years and, in addition, also suffer from anxiety, are much more likely to develop a chronic form that is difficult to control.

Reflux: stress, extra kilos and a sedentary lifestyle ignite the 'fire' in the oesophagus

The disease affects children and adults and appears to be on the rise but is unfortunately recognised even ten years later

Not only reflux: don't underestimate eosinophilic oesophagitis, rare but present

Gastro-oesophageal reflux: when is surgery needed?

A recent review published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences has turned the spotlight on a surprising possibility: psychedelics

LSD and psychedelics: a breakthrough in ADHD treatment or an illusion?

These are mainly antipsychotics, antidepressants and drugs for ADHD: in Italia consumption is lower than in the EU countries but the trend is increasing

Psychotropic drugs: prescriptions in paediatric age double

ADHD: between brain, genetics and society

It is estimated that 3 out of 4 people will sooner or later be confronted with a hormonal problem that underlies 30% of chronic diseases and cancers

Hormones, these unknowns: they are the directors of health but 1 in 2 Italians don't know it

They are often discovered by chance. And they are increasingly frequent. Monitoring over time and treatment must be studied on a case-by-case basis by the specialist

Thyroid nodules: why they arise, when they are dangerous and how to deal with them

Thyroid nodules: early diagnosis and treatment, the role of alcoholisation

Turning it off could therefore provide one of the most effective strategies against the most aggressive of skin cancers

The secret melanoma switch: the discovery that could revolutionise treatment

In a research study, Swedish scientists analysed health data on more than six million adults

Software that predicts melanoma: how AI can change prevention

Skin cancer prevention: why it is essential

It is called CTHRC1 and is produced by specific healthy cells in the tumour microenvironment. In the future, it could tell who benefits most from immunotherapy

Colorectal cancer, spy protein: reveals how it will evolve and customises treatment

The implementation of prevention programmes is crucial to diverting this disease trajectory. And in this respect, therefore, all screening tests work. But to varying degrees.

Preventing the big killer, a new study may change the rules of screening

La tac al colon o colonscopia virtuale è l’esame non invasivo per la prevenzione e cura delle malattie gastro intestinali. La tecnica integra radiologia altamente specializzata, gastroenterologia e chirurgia digestiva

Colon CT or virtual colonoscopy is the non-invasive examination for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. The technique integrates highly specialised radiology, gastroenterology and digestive surgery

Colon Tac (or virtual colonoscopy) at IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio: what it is and how it is performed

The idea behind a new study is that the disease is not rooted in a deficit but in an excess of activity at the level of the hippocampus

Does hyperactivity 'burn out' the brain? New lead behind Alzheimer's gene

Female dementia: why early prevention is a challenge (and an opportunity)

A discovery made by a group of Finnish researchers at the University of Oulu proves this

Sleep 'cleanses' the brain of the day's waste and regenerates us

Overall, the cost of the disease is estimated at around 14 billion between direct costs for hospitalisation, visits or drugs and indirect costs

Insomnia for 13 million Italians, a bill for chronic insomnia arrives

Melatonin is perceived as an aid and is therefore adopted by many Italians to promote sleep

Melatonin, the 'natural' bedtime pill. But is it really safe?

Ophthalmology, pain medicine and paediatrics are the 'new entries' this year alongside the disciplines from oncology to cardiology Onda Foundation organises Women's Prevention Week

Women's health, 250 hospitals open in Italia for free examinations and tests

The results of the European Perch study led by the Iss: Parents do not believe in the usefulness of vaccines and do not consider the disease serious

Papilloma virus: 95% of young people vaccinated by 2030 far from target

Record over 370,000 cases with overall notification rates increased by 16% for chlamydia, 138% for gonorrhoea and 53% for syphilis

Sexually transmitted infections: the long wave shaking Europe

It still takes an average of seven years to diagnose the disease, which affects women of childbearing age, and despite recent regulatory protections the gaps in treatment and the impact on society are still profound

Endometriosis, a 'stumbling block' in the slow progress of women's health

Con il neurologo dell’Ospedale San Raffaele di Milano-Gruppo San Donato scopriamo gli errori più comuni che peggiorano il nostro riposo e i consigli per ripristinare il ritmo sonno-veglia

With the neurologist of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan-San Donato Group, we discover the most common errors that worsen our rest and tips for restoring the sleep-wake rhythm
