Abstract
Over the last two decades, the use of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in medical oncology has increased the likelihood of identifying druggable mutations that may be potentially susceptible to targeted treatments. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) currently does not recommend the use of the NGS test to determine the therapeutic course of patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) in daily clinical practice. However, the aim of this work is to evaluate the potential contribution of the NGS test in selecting targeted therapies for patients with mBC. Data were retrospectively collected from 101 patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and treated at the Modena Cancer Center between January 2015 and April 2022. A NGS test was performed on the tumor tissue of each patient at the Laboratory of Molecular Pathology of the University Hospital of Modena. This study analyzed the clinical-pathological characteristics and mutational profile of the population using NGS tests, with a focus on actionable mutations that could be targeted in advanced stages of clinical development. The indicator of this study was to quantify the actionable mutations that resulted in a change of cancer treatment. In total, 101 patients with metastatic breast cancer were analyzed, including 86 with luminal phenotype, 10 who were HER2-positive and 5 who were triple-negative. Median age was 52 years. NGS analysis was conducted on 47 samples of primary breast cancer, 52 on metastatic sites of disease and 2 on liquid biopsies. A total of 85 gene mutations were found. The most common mutations were identified in the PIK3CA (47%), FGFR (19%) and ERBB2 genes (12%), and to a lesser extent in other genes. Of the 61 patients with pathogenic mutations, 46 (75%) had at least one actionable mutation. Of these, nine received treatment with a molecular target drug: eight patients with a mutation of the PIK3CA gene were treated with alpelisib and fulvestrant; one patient with FGFR1/2 amplifications received TAS120. Median PFS for these patients was 3.8 months. The study results show that using the NGS test on cancer tissue of metastatic breast cancer could influence the therapeutic choices, considering the small sample size and limited follow-up. About 9% of the study population had their therapy modified based on the results of NGS. The growing number of detectable mutations and increased accessibility of the test may lead to a greater number of potential therapeutic implications for the NGS assay. Perspectives suggest that NGS analysis can be implemented in daily clinical practice, particularly in contexts where a Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) is active.

Abstract
Data are reported relating to the study of 100 pregnant women, aged between 30 and 49 years old, effected by one or more fibroma nodules on the body of the womb. From an analysis of results, it appears that appropriate obstetric care can significantly reduce the risk of both maternal and fetal complications.

Abstract
The paper reports 18 cases of womb rupture observed in the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Turin from April 1978 to June 1988. Following an analysis of the data relating to the above cases, the paper concludes that in order to reduce the incidence of womb rupture it is important to hospitalize high-risk patients preferably before the start of labour so as to intervent using caesarian section.

Abstract
Thromboembolic disease during pregnancy and confinement is an important cause of mortality and obstetric morbidity. The onset of thromboembolic disease is caused by vascular damage, stasis and hypercoagulability, factors which are all present during gestation. All A. agree that it is of fundamental importance to intervene immediately in cases of active thromboembolic disease, but also to take suitable prophylactic measures to prevent the onset of disease.

Abstract
In industrialised countries endometritis is a problem which represents an increasing risk to personal health and to society. In almost all cases the inflammatory process which affects the uterine mucosa forms part of a more generalised infection which involves the entire internal genital system (PID). The most important problem associated with pelvic phlogosis is increased sterility, a greater number of ectopic pregnancies and chronic pelvic pain. In order to treat the symptoms of genito-pelvic infection, an early diagnosis and adequate medical therapy are indispensable. In this event it may be possible to prevent invalidating effects on fertility and chronic pelvic pain.
