Primary radical prostatectomy and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for high-risk prostate cancer offer similar cancer-specific survival rates according to study findings reported at the European Association of Urology’s 38th Congress in Milan Patients with high-risk prostate cancer are eligible for both treatments but large-scale population-based analyses examining which treatment may improve cancer-specific survival are lacking of Camposampiero Hospital in Camposampiero who presented the findings on behalf of coauthors from the same hospital Dr Righetto’s group analyzed data from 2318 patients who received primary radical prostatectomy or EBRT in the control arms of 3 randomized controlled trials as well as from their prospective institutional database They selected patients based on criteria established by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) which defines high-risk prostate cancer as the presence of at least 1 of the following features: Gleason grade group 4 or 5 classification The investigators only included patients without metastatic or node-positive disease. The study population included 1740 patients (75%) who underwent radical prostatectomy and 578 (25%) who received EBRT The median follow-up duration was 81 months and 79 months for the radical prostatectomy and EBRT groups The investigators used propensity score weighting to match patients in each group according to age The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates were 3.6% and 4.9% for the radical prostatectomy and EBRT groups a between-group difference that was not statistically significant The investigators also found no statistical difference in the rates on multivariable analysis Although the main study limitation was a high proportion of patients with missing data, Dr Righetto said “our data does not support an advantage in cancer-specific survival for NCCN high-risk prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy compared to those receiving primary EBRT.” Righetto M, Fulconli V, Modonutti D, Costa G.

That’s why numerous national associations and syndicates joined up to sign a petition asking for its closing CPRs are centres where migrants without a legal permit to stay on Italian soil are detained the repatriation can happen only in the presence of an agreement between the ‘hosting’ country and the country of origin the illegal migrant is expelled with the warning to leave the country within 7 days “The ‘expelled migrants’ mostly remain in the country illegally, they are discovered again and closed again in a CPR”, explains Anna Camposampiero, member of the Milan-based organization No more Lager- No CPR “It’s not only newcomers that end up in the detention centres but as well people who have been living in our country for years Some of them lost their residence permit for being unemployed“ she says The CPR of Milan is currently destined to Tunisians migrants. In fact, due to the economic crisis, exacerbated by Covid-19 pandemic, Tunisia is witnessing many protests and unrest, and the number of those who decide to undertake a dangerous journey by sea to reach the Italian coasts is increasing Entering in Via Corelli is a nightmare also for police officers who have to escort all operators in their daily tasks There have been at least 6 revolts since September “Turmoil is the only way for them to be heard and express their frustration,” says Camposampiero According to Camposampiero in CPRs migrants are denied the right to apply for asylum Since Tunisia is considered a ‘safe country’ just a few days after their arrival at the Centre the judge will sentence for repatriation without giving them any chance to explain their reasons  If we keep considering migrations as an emergency we’re never going to understand the complexity of this phenomenon and face it in an adequate and human way,” says Camposampiero Original article.

In the 68th minute, Italy, who had been reduced to ten men earlier in the match, were awarded a free-kick on the left-hand side of the pitch. Beppe Signori whipped a glorious ball into the box and onto the head of the onrushing Baggio He guided the ball past Erik Thorstvedt to give Italy the lead and eventually the victory Yet it wasn’t the ponytailed genius who took the headlines this time It was the other Baggio; the unheralded yet gifted central midfielder Dino had the misfortune to be born in the same generation as Roberto; only four years separate the pair They played in different positions and their physical statures couldn’t have been more contrasting – Dino was a tall tortured-genius that sported a ponytail with beads at the tip – but Dino would spend a career playing in the shade of the trequartista Search for Dino Baggio in Google and one of the results that crops up is “Dino Baggio Mention the name Baggio to most football fans and Dino will not be the player who comes to mind Dino and Gianluigi Lentini were products of the Torino primavera system in the 1980s, with Baggio making his debut for the newly-promoted club against Lazio in September 1990 at the tender age of 19. Under the guidance of Emiliano Mondonico who had just arrived at the club after a successful stint with Atalanta the club and Baggio would enjoy a fruitful season with Baggio playing in 25 games and scoring two goals In a league that did not always give young players a chance Dino’s first season in Serie A was a resounding success It was to be his only season with Toro as city neighbours Juventus recognised his talent and bought him in the summer of 1991, only for the midfielder to be immediately sent out on loan to Internazionale for the 1991/92 season. He produced another solid season, playing 27 times and gaining valuable experience playing alongside Lothar Matthäus and Nicola Berti Read  |  The unfulfilled career of record-breaker Gianluigi Lentini In 1992, Baggio returned to the black and white half of Turin, where he was to compete for a starting place alongside new signings David Platt and Andreas Möller now hailing two Baggios in their starting XI Not initially accepted by the fans due to his Torino past he won over the sceptics with some fine performances In six European appearances he scored five times including three goals over the course of the two-legged final against Borussia Dortmund the Baggio boys annihilated the Germans 6-1 the highest ever aggregate scoreline in the final Dino picked up the first winner’s medal of his career The less famous Baggio was still largely unknown outside of the peninsula Having made his debut for the national team in 1991 under Arrigo Sacchi Baggio had become a regular fixture in the Azzurri setup many felt he did not deserve a place in the squad He was injured for portions of the 1993/94 campaign and couldn’t replicate his form of the previous season Sacchi always cherished players with Dino’s qualities – a strong work ethic combined with a keen sense of collective solidarity – and had no doubts that he deserved to be in the starting XI Baggio had scored three times during the qualifying campaign including the crucial goal against Portugal that guaranteed Italy safe passage to the tournament as group winners “People didn’t believe in Dino Baggio,” said Sacchi “He’s gone mad!” said Roberto in disbelief as he trudged off the pitch The World Player of the Year was not performing The knockout stages belonged to Roberto as he almost single-handedly won Italy the World Cup with a series of virtuoso displays in what surely would have gone down as the best one-man show since Diego Maradona at Mexico 86 clearing the ball off the line against Nigeria with the Africans 1–0 ahead dipping 25-yard piledriver against Spain in the quarter-finals The Baggios had guided Italy to another World Cup final Read  |  Baggio vs Lippi: the anatomy of an unforgettable feud between two legends at Inter Despite his glowing performances throughout the tournament Dino was still referred to as “the other Baggio” or “Baggio II” by the media In an interview on the eve of the final he showed rumblings of discontent about sharing a surname with one of the world’s most famous footballers: “For years maybe I’ll show everyone I have a first name and last name.” When Italy returned home after the heartbreaking loss against Brazil being the lesser-known Baggio had its benefits Roberto was the sacrificial lamb for the Italian media while Dino returned home as one of Italy’s standout performers and his stock raised considerably Parma entered talks with Juventus over signing Baggio Dino initially refused to entertain the idea of moving in a move that could have radically altered the history of both clubs Parma turned their attention to a promising youngster called Alessandro Del Piero who was just a bushy-haired 19-year-old at the time With club and player both in agreement over the move and the deal going so far as the paperwork being submitted to the league He had held talks with the new Juventus regime and soon understood that the move to Parma would be beneficial for his career: “Going to Parma is good for me Del Piero stayed in Turin and would remain at Juventus for the next 18 years Over the next six years, Parma saw the best of Baggio as he seamlessly blended into a team that already contained seasoned internationals such as Néstor Sensini, Tomas Brolin, Gianfranco Zola and Faustino Asprilla Placed in the heart of Nevio Scala’s 5-3-2 formation Baggio hit the ground running and played a pivotal role in what ultimately be the club’s finest season embarked on a duel for domestic and European supremacy The Old Lady secured a domestic double by winning the league with a 10-point margin over Parma and then beating Dino’s side in the final of the Coppa Italia but the two teams did battle once more in the final of the UEFA Cup playing each other an incredible five times over May and June of 1995 Dino played an instrumental part in the European competition He scored three goals en route to the final and then scored two more in the two-legged final scoring the only goal in the first leg and then the equaliser in the return leg that secured a 2-1 aggregate win and Parma’s second European trophy in three years Dino had once more proven his aptitude for scoring on the big occasion and in the process he had upstaged Roberto Nobody has scored more goals in the history of UEFA Cup finals Read  |  Roberto Mancini: the rare genius who led Sampdoria and Lazio to unprecedented heights Dino was now regarded as one of the best central midfielders in Italy He would continue his excellent form over the next few seasons in Parma’s golden era He helped the club qualify for the Champions League after they agonisingly missed out on a historic league title by a mere two points to Juventus in 1997 During Parma’s run to another UEFA Cup triumph in 1999 he made international headlines after being struck on the head with a knife thrown by a fan in the stands during a game against Wisła Kraków in Poland Baggio played on for the remaining 10 minutes of the match but required five stitches after He maintained that he was very fortunate to escape serious injury: “I turned my head a second before I was hit I could have been struck in the face or the knife could have gone in my eye.” Parma would go on to overwhelm Marseille 3-0 in the final in Moscow with Baggio picking up his third winner’s medal in the competition His continued excellence at club level transferred itself to the national side where he was a permanent fixture in midfield for the rest of the decade both Baggios’ careers would end in 1999 (if you discard Roberto’s swansong friendly against Spain in 2004) Italy’s Euro 2000 squad contained neither man for the first time since Euro 88; Dino made the provisional squad but was eventually cut by Dino Zoff his career petered out with loan spells at Blackburn Rovers retired a year earlier at the San Siro with 80,000 people chanting his name as he walked off into the sunset Their friendship was never affected; they hunted skied and roomed together while team-mates at Juventus It’s a case of bad timing for Dino when you consider that there had never been a player christened Baggio in Serie A’s long history until they both arrived on the scene Only 1,500 of Italy’s 59 million population has the surname That two star players rose to prominence within the same period inevitably meant that one would always live in the shadow of the other yet when evaluating his career and achievements Had he been born a decade later perhaps his talents would have gained more appreciation and even though he won more caps for his country than his namesake he will forever live in the ponytailed shadow of Roberto and be known as “the other Baggio” By Emmet Gates @EmmetGates Please enable JS and disable

Inter Milan (on loan at Reggina)Position: Central Midfielder Giovanni Fabbian was born on the 14th of January 2003 in Camposampiero The 20 year old Midfielder started his youth career at Padova he stayed there until 2018 and then moved to Italian giants Inter Milan where he has been a standout in the youth teams and is seen as a very good prospect at the club Fabbian is still yet to make his debut for the Inter Milan first team but he did score 8 goals and get 4 assists in 35 appearances for Inter Milans Primavera squad (U19) He has also represented Italy at every youth level from U16 onwards and currently has scored 2 goals in 3 appearances for the Italy U20 squad At the start of this season Fabbian was looking for first team football so completed a loan move to Serie B team Reggina He has had a breakout season so far and has scored 8 goals and got an assist in 26 appearances and has been a key player in Reggina’s push for promotion to Serie A as they currently sit 6th at the time of writing Giovanni Fabbian is a central Midfielder and from the games I watched he played as a box to box midfielder he performed this role exceptionally well and showed great versatility and adaptability to change into an attacking midfielder when the team was on the attack and then get back and play more defensive when the team was on the back foot He keeps the game flowing by playing lots of short passes and 1-2s in the middle of the pitch and then he will pick his moment to either play a longer forward pass a pass out wide or attempt a dribble of his own When the ball is played out wide he will then make a darting run for the box and look to get into an attacking position he has scored a couple of goals from making these runs and getting onto the end of crosses He is very comfortable on the ball and makes good central dribbles in which he will often move through the midfield and into the attacking area of the pitch he will then look to switch the play to one of the wingers and set up a cross or pass into the nearest forward player One thing that really surprised me about Fabbian is how good he is in the air he is a real aerial threat from corners and crosses and at the same time also makes a lot of interceptions with good headers Being around 6 feet tall probably naturally makes him better aerially but I just wasn’t expecting it to be one of his best qualities as its not really something you associate with technically gifted midfielders As I said earlier he can also get back and help out defensively he uses his great engine and running power to track back break up the play and make good interceptions around the pitch He is also an effective tackler and blocker and can provide that extra defensive cover when the team is under pressure and needs help Giovanni does have some things in his game that he could improve and get better at He has really good vision and can see runs but his long passing can be inconsistent and inaccurate at times he is much better at playing short/medium range passes and building play up Another thing id like to see him work on is his physicality and strength he is tall and moves well but can be often outmuscled and dispossessed by a stronger and more aggressive opponent These are some of the noticeable drawbacks in his game right now but I don’t think they are major concerns and his qualities already make him a very promising young player and an important thing to remember is that this is Fabbian’s first season of professional football so he will still be adjusting to the speed and physicality of the professional game compared to youth football Giovanni Fabbian is one of the most underrated midfielders in Italy and I’m surprised it has took him this long to breakthrough and play professional football He is obviously highly regarded at Inter Milan as he would have been sold earlier on if they didn’t value him and I think it will be very interesting to see if he gets a chance at Inter next season He is having a good season on loan at Reggina and he may potentially look to leave Inter in the summer and get a permanent move there personally I don’t see this happening unless Reggina get promoted to Serie A I do think He will leave Inter if he is not promised first team minutes next season but I think he should be aiming for a mid-table Serie A team as he is capable of playing at that level and it would be great for his development Overall Giovanni Fabbian is a very promising midfielder and he has a great skillset a goal threat and also has that bit of steel and defensive power for when he needs to use it The big question for him is when his loan at Reggina ends and he returns to Inter will he stay or will he look for a move elsewhere in my opinion I think he should move to another team in Serie A unless he is promised first team football at Inter It will be very interesting to see what the future holds for him and I think his decision in the summer will define his career I will definitely be keeping an eye on him to see how his career develops and where he ends up next season and website in this browser for the next time I comment
