  • Italian good practice recommendations on management of persons with Long-Covid

    Open AccessMarina Giuliano, Dorina Tiple et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    A significant number of people, following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, report persistent symptoms or new symptoms that are sustained over time, often affecting different body systems. This condition, commonly referred to as Long-COVID, requires a complex clinical management. In Italy new health facilities specifically dedicated to the diagnosis and care of Long-COVID were implemented. However, the activity of these clinical centers is highly heter…

    Open AccessMassimo Mapelli, Paola Zagni et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    We demonstrated the feasibility of an echocardiographic screening for RHD in an orphanage in Uganda. A few factors, such as good clinical and hygienic care, the availability of antibiotics and closeness to a big hospital, may account for the low prevalence of the disease in our population

  • Unexpected Huge Prevalence of Intracardiac Extension of Wilms Tumor—A Single Center Experience from a Ugandan Hospital

    Open AccessMassimo Mapelli, Paola Zagni et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common primary renal malignancy in young children. WT vascular extension to the inferior vena cava (IVC) occurs in 4-10% of cases and can reach the right atrium (RA) in 1%. Data on WT clinical presentation and outcome in developing countries are limited.

  • Case Report

    Open AccessInês Falcão‐Pires, Massimo Mapelli et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

Besides that, coronary vasospasm may also be involved in TTS pathophysiology, suggesting a complex interplay between these diseases. Mood disorders and anxiety influence the response to stress, through a gain of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and an increase…

  • A Case of William’s Syndrome in a Ugandan Child

    Open AccessMassimo Mapelli, Paola Zagni et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    We present the first reported case of WS in Uganda. Cardiac echo and a characteristic clinical picture could be enough to exclude more common causes of heart failure (i.e., rheumatic heart disease) and to make the diagnosis even when specific genetic tests are not available
