Abstract
In September 2023, a patient in Italy who had never traveled abroad was referred for testing for suspected hepatic cystic echinococcosis. Lesions were incompatible with cystic echinococcosis; instead, autochthonous alveolar echinococcosis was confirmed. Alveolar echinococcosis can be fatal, and awareness must be raised of the infection's expanding distribution.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic role of a dedicated AI software in detecting anomalous breast findings on mammography and tomosynthesis images in the clinical setting, stand-alone and as aid of four readers. METHODS A total of 210 patients with complete clinical and radiologic records were retrospectively analyzed. Pathology was used as the reference standard for patients undergoing surgery or biopsy, and a 1-year follow-up was used to confirm no change in the remaining patients. The image evaluation was performed by four readers with different levels of experience (a junior and three senior breast radiologists) using a 5-point Likert scale moving from 1 (definitively no cancer) to 5 (definitively cancer). The positivity of mammograms was assessed on the presence of any breast lesion (masses, architectural distortions, asymmetries, calcifications), including malignant and benign ones. A multi-reader multi-case analysis was performed. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The stand-alone AI system achieved an accuracy of 71% (69% sensitivity and 73% specificity), which is overall lower than the value achieved by readers without AI. However, with the aid of AI, a significant increase of accuracy (p value = 0.004) and specificity (p value = 0.04) was achieved for the less experienced radiologist and a senior one. CONCLUSION The use of AI software as a second reader for breast lesions assessment could play a crucial role in the clinical setting, by increasing sensitivity and specificity, especially for less experienced radiologists.

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the potential applications of dual-energy CT (DECT) in improving image quality and the diagnostic capabilities of CT arthrography (CTA) in clinical practice. The paper covers the use of virtual non-contrast (VNC) images, in which the injected contrast medium is subtracted from the articular cavity in order to better analyze 2D and 3D images of the bone. Moreover, virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) applications and their potential use for the reduction of metal artifacts and improving image contrast are reviewed. The role of virtual non-calcium (VNCa) in detecting bone marrow edema surrounding the imaged joint will be discussed. Furthermore, the role of iodine maps in enhancing the contrast between soft tissues, optimizing the visualization of contrast material, and distinguishing contrast material from calcifications is described. Finally, a case series including different joints is provided to underline the additional advantages of high-spatial-resolution dual-energy CT reconstructed images.

Abstract
Background Dual-energy CT (DECT) is an alternative to radiography and single-energy CT (SECT) for detecting prosthesis-related complications. Purpose To compare the diagnostic performance of DECT, SECT, and radiography for knee prosthesis loosening, with use of surgery or imaging follow-up reference standards. Materials and Methods In this prospective single-center study from December 2018 to June 2021, participants with unilateral painful knee prostheses underwent radiographic, SECT, and DECT imaging. Five blinded readers, four radiologists, and one orthopedic surgeon evaluated the images. Prosthesis loosening was diagnosed by a periprosthetic lucent zone greater than 2 mm. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of each method were determined and compared with use of a multireader multicase analysis. Results There were 92 study participants (mean age ± SD, 70 years ± 9.4; 67 women) evaluated. Tibial and femoral loosening were diagnosed in 47 and 24 participants, respectively. For the tibia, mean sensitivity and specificity for arthroplasty loosening were 88% and 91%, respectively, for DECT, 73% and 78% for SECT, and 68% and 81% for radiography. For the tibia, DECT demonstrated similar diagnostic performance (AUC, 0.90) to SECT (AUC: 0.90 vs AUC: 0.87, respectively; P = .13) but was superior to radiography (AUC: 0.90 vs AUC: 0.82; P = .002). Overall diagnostic performance of DECT (AUC, 0.87) for the femur was superior to both SECT and radiography (P < .001). Conclusion Dual-energy CT had generally better diagnostic performance in detecting loosening of tibial and femoral components after total knee arthroplasty compared with single-energy CT or radiography.

Abstract
We compared the effects of 8 weeks of high intensity, aerobic interval training (HIT) and isoinertial resistance training (IRT) on: (i) O2 kinetics during heavy (HiEx) intensity exercise and; (ii) work economy during moderate (ModEx) intensity exercise in 12 healthy elderly men (69.3 ± 4.2 years). Breath-by-breath O2 and muscle deoxygenation ([HHb] by means of NIRS) were measured in HiEx and ModEx at identical workloads before and after trainings. In HiEx, O2 and HHb responses were modeled as tri-exponential and mono-exponential increasing functions, respectively. A two-way ANOVA for repeated measures analysis was made; Effect size (η2) was also evaluated. After HIT the amplitude and the time delay of the slow component of O2 uptake (O2sc) during HiEx were smaller (−32%; P = 0.045) and longer (+19.5%; P = 0.001), respectively. At Post IRT: (i) during ModEx, gain was lower (−5%; P = 0.050); (ii) during HiEx, τ2 (+14.4%; P = 0.050), d3 (+8.6%; P = 0.050), and τ3 (+17.2%; P = 0.050) were longer than at Pre IRT. After HIT, the decrease of the O2sc amplitude was likely induced by the beneficial effects of training on a more responsive O2 delivery and consumption cascade leading to a better muscle metabolic stability. IRT training was able to increase exercise economy during ModEx and to reduce the amplitude and delay the onset of O2sc during HiEx. These effects should be due to the reduction and the delayed recruitment of Type II muscle fibers. The better exercise economy and the delayed appearance of O2sc induced by IRT suggests that strength training might be included in endurance training programs to improve exercise economy and resistance to fatigue in this population of old subjects.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (HIT) and isoinertial resistance training (IRT) on cardiovascular fitness, muscle mass-strength and risk factors of metabolic syndrome in 12 healthy older adults (68 yy ± 4). HIT consisted in 7 two-minute repetitions at 80%–90% of V˙O2max, 3 times/w. After 4 months of recovery, subjects were treated with IRT, which included 4 sets of 7 maximal, bilateral knee extensions/flexions 3 times/w on a leg-press flywheel ergometer. HIT elicited significant: i) modifications of selected anthropometrical features; ii) improvements of cardiovascular fitness and; iii) decrease of systolic pressure. HIT and IRT induced hypertrophy of the quadriceps muscle, which, however, was paralleled by significant increases in strength only after IRT. Neither HIT nor IRT induced relevant changes in blood lipid profile, with the exception of a decrease of LDL and CHO after IRT. Physiological parameters related with aerobic fitness and selected body composition values predicting cardiovascular risk remained stable during detraining and, after IRT, they were complemented by substantial increase of muscle strength, leading to further improvements of quality of life of the subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a common radiologic abnormality on chest x-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans of the lungs. The differential diagnosis of SPNs is particularly wide as it includes a multitude of benign as well as malignant entities. Nodule location within the lungs has been proposed as a predictive feature in the literature. This study aims at illustrating the distribution within the lungs of a large current series of consecutive SPNs according to their histological subtype, which was definitely proved at core biopsy. MATERIAL/METHODS Two hundred-eight SPNs referred to our center for characterization were reviewed in this single-centre retrospective study. Histological subtypes were defined following the IASLC/ATS/ERS and WHO (2004) histological classification. RESULTS This study provides evidence with respect to the prevalence of adenocarcinomas and other non-neuroendocrine primary lung cancer types in the right upper lobe. It also provides new evidence with respect to the prevalence of carcinoid tumors in the middle and right lower lobe, with a tendency to occur in the central lung parenchyma. CONCLUSIONS This work updates existing knowledge of solid SPNs location within the lungs by providing a current picture of SPN distribution according to their nature.

Abstract
Seventeen cases of Infective Endocarditis diagnosed over a seven-year period by clinical-echocardiographic criteria in a Division of General Medicine are reviewed. More significant aspects regard the observation of the disease in some subjects at risk (elderly persons, patients with normal native valves affected by cirrhosis, by intravenous drugs abuse, by haematological neoplasms), the diagnostic difficulties in cases with oligosymptomatic or atypical beginning, and the frequent negative blood cultures. The value and the limitations of echocardiography and some aspects of therapy are discussed.
