Objectives The aims of this position paper are to (i) summarize research on precarious employment (PE) in the context occupational health; (ii) develop a theoretical framework that distinguishes PE from related concepts and delineates important contextual factors; (iii) identify key methodological challenges directions for future health. Methods This is result working group consisting researchers EU, Turkey USA, who have discussed issue over course six months (October 2018-April 2019),...
Background This retrospective observational study described the epidemiology and burden on Italian healthcare service (SSN) of patients with polyneuropathy (PN) associated to hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv).
<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by long-term structural or functional abnormalities, often progressing over decades and potentially leading to failure, treatable only dialysis transplantation. Nutritional, physical activity mindfulness programs can play a key role in conservative CKD management, aiming slow the progression of symptoms, decrease drug load, reduce stress delay dialysis. KidneYou integrates nutrition, exercise, improve...
Neurophysiological measurements of the vestibular function for diagnosis and follow-up evaluations provide an objective assessment, which, unfortunately, does not necessarily correlate with patients' self-feeling. The literature provides many questionnaires to assess outcome rehabilitation programs disequilibrium, but only Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is Italian translation available, validated on a small group patients suffering from peripheral acute vertigo. We translated reliability...
The few studies that have examined associations between greenspace and lung function in adulthood yielded conflicting results none whether the rate of decline is affected.We explored association residential change over 20 years 5559 adults from 22 centers 11 countries participating population-based, international European Community Respiratory Health Survey.Forced expiratory volume 1 s (FEV1) forced vital capacity (FVC) were measured by spirometry when participants approximately 35...
While the adverse effects of short-term ambient ozone exposure on lung function are well-documented, impact long-term remains poorly understood, especially in adults.We aimed to investigate association between and decline. The 3014 participants were drawn from 17 centers across eight countries, all which European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS). Spirometry was conducted measure pre-bronchodilation forced expiratory volume 1 s (FEV1) vital capacity (FVC) at approximately 35, 44,...
Literature shows that music can reduce stress conditions. This pilot study investigated the effects of listening on work-related and well-being in healthcare professionals.A total 45 subjects were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: No Music, Individualized Music Melomics-Health Listening. groups experienced a daily 30-min-playlist for 3 weeks at home. The Maugeri Stress Index-Revised (MASI-R) Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI) administered baseline, after 7 (follow-up)....
The central goal of this study was to identify the primary mechanisms triggering steroid atrophy. Adaptations soleus (Sol) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles C57BL/6 female mice were studied following 3, 7 15 days daily intraperitoneal injection (5 mg kg-1 day-1) dexamethasone (dEx) (chronic treatment) 1, 3 10 hours after a single dEx (acute treatment). In chronic treatment, analyses performed 24 last injection. Gene expression major components intracellular signalling pathways controlling...
The positions of several water molecules can be determined in protein crystallography, either buried internal cavities or at the surface. It is important to able estimate expected number these facilitate crystal structure determination. Here, a multiple Poisson regression model implemented on nearly 10 000 structures shows that detectable depends eight variables: crystallographic resolution, R factor, percentage solvent crystal, average B factor atoms, amino acid residues loops,...
Music listening is a widespread approach in the field of music therapy. In this study, effects on anxiety and stress patients undergoing radiotherapy are investigated. Sixty with breast cancer who were candidates for postoperative curative recruited randomly assigned to three groups: Melomics-Health (MH) group (music algorithmically created, n = 20); individualized (IML) (playlist preferred music, no (n 20). was administered 15 min immediately before simulation during first five sessions....
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are leading causes of morbidity mortality worldwide. Globally, 545 million people suffer from respiratory diseases with a wide geographical variability. Risk factors for asthma both genetic related to several environmental (internal external pollutants); these also have an important role in the occurrence COPD. The aim this study was describe prevalence asthma, COPD, asthma/COPD overlap (ACO) adult population living two municipalities...
The present manuscript describes the validation of a food knowledge questionnaire (FKQ) for Tanzanian childbearing age women. FKQ was derived from Ugandan version and adapted according to culture habits, including 114 closed-ended questions, divided into five different sections. administered 671 childbearing-age women who were eligible if they: (i) aged between 14 49 years old, (ii) had not been diagnosed with any disease (iii) lived in urban or peri-urban area Arusha Morogoro region....
Music therapy (MT) interventions are aimed at creating and developing a relationship between patient therapist. However, there is lack of validated observational instruments to consistently evaluate the MT process.The purpose this study was validation Therapy Session Assessment Scale (MT-SAS), designed assess therapist during active sessions.Videotapes single 30-min session per were considered. A pilot on videotapes 10 patients carried out help refine items, define scoring system improve...
Depression is common in the elderly. The role of genetic and environmental factors modulating depressive symptoms not clear.We evaluated influence serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms recent adverse life events on an elderly Italian population. We used data from "InveCe.Ab", a population-based study 1321 subjects aged 70-74 years. 15-item Geriatric Scale (GDS) to assess symptoms-a GDS score ≥5 points (GDS≥5) indicated presence clinically relevant symptoms-and performed 5-HTTLPR rs25531...
Abstract Aim In 2022, in Italy, general practitioners (GPs) have been allowed to prescribe SGLT2i Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) under National Health Service (NHS) reimbursement. the pivotal clinical trial named DECLARE-TIMI 58, dapagliflozin reduced risk of hospitalization for heart failure, CV death and kidney disease progression compared placebo a population T2D patients. This study evaluated health economic impact patients who had or were at atherosclerotic cardiovascular Italian GPs setting....
Abstract Background Dapagliflozin is a sodium–glucose cotransporter–2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) approved for the treatment of Heart Failure (HF); however, real–world data on use dapagliflozin in setting HF with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) are scarce. EVOLUTION–HF Italy part wider initiative aimed at filling these gaps Real–World Evidence studies 13 European countries. Aims The primary aim study to describe characteristics patients starting HFrEF and patterns including discontinuation...
This study aimed to assess the proportions of type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects meeting cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) criteria for sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and estimate SGLT2i utilization, along with associated demographic clinical characteristics, in a primary care setting.
Abstract Background Clinical trials have shown that dapagliflozin, a sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i), reduces cardiovascular mortality and worsening heart failure (HF). Adoption of new therapies has historically been slow despite robust evidence. Furthermore, treatment profiles patients in real-world settings are scarce. Purpose EVOLUTION HF is multinational study programme aims to describe clinical characteristics patterns among initiating dapagliflozin for with reduced...
We explored the association between residential greenness and lung function in 6209 adults from 22 centres of population-based European Community Respiratory Health Survey. Forced expiratory volume 1 s (FEV1) forced vital capacity (FVC) were measured by spirometry pre-bronchodilation at ages 35.2±6.0 (1990-1993), 44.1±6.0 (1998-2002) 55.3±6.1 (2009-2013) years. Greenness was assessed satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI, range -1 to 1) a 500m circular buffer around...
