[Carcinoma of the male breast. Our experience].

A case series of 5 male patients afflicted with breast carcinoma is reported. The Authors describe symptomatology, diagnostic iter, principles of surgical treatment and results. Underlined is the wider surgical demolition in male breast cancer in comparison with females, even if natural history and biological conduct are comparable. This is because in male breast carcinoma the local and remote infiltration is more rapid than female for the less development of breast gland. Finally, indications for radiochemotherapy are comparable to female breast cancer.

[Diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases. International multicentric study].

A Polycentric International Study was performed to evaluate the diagnostic methods in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. New tools and new non-invasive methods were proposed by the 15 centers collaborating in this study. The difficulty of defining a standard method to investigate not invasively and invasively these patients still remains.

[Thyroid microcarcinoma: our experience].

The thyroid microcarcinoma is definited differentiated carcinoma of max 1 cm in diameter. We have reviewed clinical and histopathological results of 54 consecutive patients with papillary and follicular thyroid microcarcinoma and operated in the our clinic in the period 1985 to 2004. Several variables, such as older age, multifocality, bilateral disease, and extrathyroidal spread at initial assessment, may have some adverse prognostic significance. We recommend total thyroidectomy accompanied by modified neck dissection if enlarged nodes are diagnosed.

Encapsulated liquid crystal (ELC) thermography in peripheral arterial disease.

The correlation between peripheral pressures and skin temperatures was studied by encapsulated liquid crystal (ELC) plates in 66 patients with peripheral arterial disease. The study was also performed to evaluate the correlation between symptoms and temperature in four symptomatic groups of patients (with claudication, rest pain, ischemic ulcerations or gangrene and chronic ulcerations in diabetic patients). The correlation with temperature and pressure was positive (0.99) and so it was that one between symptoms and temperature. This method may be easily used in patients with peripheral arterial disease to evaluate the perfusion of the extremities and to compare bordering areas. Considering these data different new applications of this technique in peripheral vascular disease diagnosis can be suggested. The elevate velocity of the method (about 5 seconds) reveal also very fast variations of the perfusion and this may be useful to study functional decreases of blood pressure.
