Integrating psychological and mental health perspectives in disease management
An interdisciplinary approach to healthcare highlights the significant role of collaboration between healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care. Integrative approaches in disease management are essential to improving patient outcomes and healthcare quality, as they emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, effective doctor-patient communication, and the incorporation of cultural perspectives into medical practice. The pitfalls…
Enacting the mind/body connection
Placebo effects are beneficial mind-body outcomes derived from beliefs or expectations, not explainable as the consequence of active medical treatments. These phenomena have long been considered a result of external manipulation, generally obtained with deceptive strategies (e.g., fake pills) or suggestions. Open-label placebos showed promising results, but even in that case, the individual has a passive role: they are not actively engaged in pro…

Imagining flying increases jumping performance in volleyball players
The study aimed to examine the effect of mental imagery on sports performance. Specifically, it was tested whether imagining flying (i.e., air travel) increases jumping performance in a group of female volleyball players. The study included 46 female young athletes (mean age = 15.23 years; standard deviation = 2.4) divided into two groups: the experimental group viewed a three-dimensional video that simulated a flying experience, while the contro…
Do social media interventions increase vaccine uptake
Introduction The Italian mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign has included children aged 5–11 years as part of the target population since December 2021. One of the biggest challenges to vaccine uptake was vaccine hesitancy among parents and children's caregivers. Primary care pediatricians (PCPs), as the first point of contact between the National Health Service (NHS) and parents/caretakers, initiated various communication strategies to tackle thi…
Placebo and Nocebo Effects as Bayesian-Brain Phenomena
The Bayesian-brain framework applied to placebo responses and other mind–body interactions suggests that the effects on the body result from the interaction between priors, such as expectations and learning, and likelihood, such as somatosensorial information. Significant research in this area focuses on the role of the priors, but the relevance of the likelihood has been surprisingly overlooked. One way of manipulating the relevance of the likel…
Influenza Vaccination Campaign during the Covid-19 Pandemic
the significant increase in vaccination coverage rate confirms the suitability of the combined strategy of delivering the flu vaccination campaign and represents a first step towards reaching WHO recommended vaccination rates
Decreasing hospital burden of Covid-19 during the first wave in Regione Lombardia
The hospital burden, in terms of both risks of poor outcomes and lengths of stay in hospital, has been demonstrated to have decreased over the months of the first wave, perhaps reflecting improved treatment and management of COVID-19 cases, as well as reduced burden as the first wave waned. The quantified burden allows for planning of hospital beds needed for current and future waves of SARS-CoV-2 i
