Impact of head and neck cancer on the income of Italian employees
Employer awareness about survivors' conditions can enhance workplace inclusivity. Furthermore, the implementation of ad-hoc policies may lead to a successful reintegration of H&N cancer survivors into the workforce
Clarifying healthy aging
The findings highlight substantial conceptual variability in how HA is defined and measured in RCTs. This diversity reflects the multidimensional and context-dependent nature of HA but poses challenges for synthesis and comparison across studies. A shared framework for defining HA in interventional research is needed to support evidence-based aging policies. By mapping the range of operational definitions used in RCTs, this review provides a foun…
Syndemic approach to chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and educational level
INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) represent significant public health challenges, linked to an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and influenced by socioeconomic disparities. This longitudinal study investigates the interplay between socioeconomic position (SEP), measured as educational level, CKD/ESRD and CVD using the syndemic framework. METHODS: We used data from the Piedmont Longitudinal …
Examining causal relationships between educational attainment and type 2 diabetes using genetic analysis
INTRODUCTION: Observational studies have shown that more educated people are at lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, robust study designs are needed to investigate the likelihood that such a relationship is causal. This study used genetic instruments for education to estimate the effect of education on T2D using the Mendelian randomisation (MR) approach. METHODS: Analyses have been conducted in the European Prospective Investi…
Antimicrobial Stewardship in the Pediatric Emergency Department
Background/Objectives : To face antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) have been implemented in the pediatric age, but the area of urgency remains understudied. We aimed to assess the impact of an educational program on optimizing antibiotic appropriateness in a pediatric ED. Methods : We conducted a pre-post observational study with an audit, intervention, and feedback given to prescribers. We recorded all systemic a…
Short-term effect of colorectal cancer on income
INTRODUCTION: The ability to return to work after a cancer diagnosis is a key aspect of cancer survivorship and quality of life. Studies have reported a significant risk of income loss for cancer survivors; however, there is limited evidence of the Italian context. METHODS: The Work Histories Italian Panel (WHIP)-Salute database was used to select a cohort of incident cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) among workers in the private sector, based on …
Health status assessment of a population of asylum seekers in Northern Italy
BACKGROUND: Since 2011 Italy has faced an extraordinary increase in migrants arrivals, mainly from the Mediterranean route, one of the world's most dangerous journeys. The purpose of the present article is to provide a comprehensive picture of the migrants' health status in the "T. Fenoglio" centre, Settimo Torinese (Turin, Italy). METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data collected from June 2016 to May 2018 on adul…
The broad spectrum of Covid-like patients initially negative at RT-PCR testing
In patients admitted to ED with COVID-19 symptoms and negative RT-PCR a comprehensive clinical evaluation integrated with lung ultrasound and computed tomography could help to detect COVID-19 patients with a false negative RT-PCR result
