Despite the available information on cancer risk, asbestos is used in large areas world, mostly production of cement. Moreover, questions are raised regarding shape dose response relation, relation with time since exposure and association neoplasms various organs. We conducted a study relationship between cumulative mortality from related diseases Italian pool 21 cohorts asbestos-cement workers protracted to both chrysotile amphibole asbestos.The cohort included 13,076 workers, 81.9% men...
We aimed to characterise a large population of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with moderate-to-severe hypoxaemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) outside the intensive care unit (ICU), and ascertain whether duration CPAP application increased risk mortality for requiring intubation.In this retrospective, multicentre cohort study, we included adult COVID-19 patients, treated ICU ARF from 1 March 15 April, 2020. collected...
<h3>Objective</h3> Asbestos is a known human carcinogen, with evidence for malignant mesothelioma (MM), cancers of lung, ovary, larynx and possibly other organs. MM rates are predicted to increase power time since first exposure (TSFE), but the possible long-term attenuation trend debated. The asbestos ban enforced in Italy 1992 gives an opportunity measure cancer risk formerly exposed workers. <h3>Methods</h3> Pool 43 previously studied Italian cohorts (asbestos cement, rolling stock,...
A multifold association relates the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis to body weight. The potential underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Further, mild severity of obesity and small proportion individuals with in so far published cohort studies provide little insights on metabolic correlates thyroid function obesity.We retrospectively enrolled 5009 adults (F/M, 3448/1561; age range, 18-87 years; BMI 30.0-82.7 kg/m2), without known disease a study TSH fT4 levels, lipid profile,...
Background Vitamin D status during pregnancy is related to neonatal vitamin status. deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of rickets in children and osteomalacia adults. Aim this study was investigate 25OHD levels maternal serum blood spots native migrant populations living Novara (North Italy, 45°N latitude). Methods Findings We carried out a cross sectional from April 1st 2012 March 30th 2013, tertiary Care Center. Maternal samples after delivery newborns' were analyzed for...
The helmet is a well-tolerated interface for noninvasive ventilation, although it associated with poor patient-ventilator interaction. A new (NH) has proven to attenuate this limitation of the standard (SH) in both bench study and healthy volunteers. authors compared NH SH intensive care unit patients receiving ventilation prevention postextubation respiratory failure; helmets were also endotracheal tube place before extubation.Fourteen underwent 30-min trials pressure support during...
Osteopontin (OPN) is highly expressed in demyelinating lesions multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). OPN cleaved by thrombin into N- (OPN-N) C-terminal (OPN-C) fragments with different ligands functions. In EAE, administering recombinant induces relapses, whereas treatment anti-OPN antibodies ameliorates the disease. Anti-OPN auto-antibodies (autoAbs) are spontaneously produced during EAE but have never been detected MS. The aim of study was to evaluate...
Several studies have shown the presence of anti-IFI16 antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren Syndrome (SjS), sclerosis (SSc) and other autoimmune diseases. However, significance SLE has not been fully characterized. The aim this study was to investigate associations between clinical serologic parameters SLE.An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit used measure sera 168 patients, 46 patients with any type primary glomerulonephritis (GN) 182 healthy controls (HCs)....
Aims and objectives To explore the effect of “Primary Nursing” on nursing‐sensitive patient outcomes, staff‐related outcomes organisation‐related outcomes. Background Primary nursing is one example a care pattern that has recently been implemented in many countries. Design Before–after study. Methods This study was conducted an Italian hospital. We observed patient‐related (pressure ulcers, falls, urinary tract infection venous catheter infection) 2,857 inpatients before implementation...
Lynxacarus radovskyi has been observed in cats Malaysia; previously treatment with fipronil and moxidectin/imidacloprid spot-on described.To compare the efficacy of two treatments moxidectin/imidacloprid, weeks apart to a single oral dose fluralaner against evaluate time re-infestation.Thirty were assigned three groups ten each. Group 1 received one 250 mg tablet. 2 doses apart. 3 consisted untreated controls. For each cat, plucks about 50 hairs collected from sites (dorsal neck, lateral...
Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) have been the key players in fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The aim of our study was to evaluate seroprevalence severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) IgG anti-bodies. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional among two hospitals and Territorial Medical Administrative services Northern Italy. From 8 May 3 June 2020, 2252 subjects were tested. Seroprevalence 95% confidence interval (CI) calculated for all individuals...
Background Treatment of canine otitis externa with owner‐administered products can be difficult. Objectives To evaluate otic treatment administered by a veterinarian on quality life (QoL) dogs and their owners, clinical cytology parameters otitis; compared to an treatment. Animals Fifty client‐owned randomly randomized into two groups treated for 2 weeks. Methods Veterinarians Group A veterinary licensed gel occasions at 1 week interval; owners B once daily drop based product along twice...
The objective of our study was to determine the joint protective effect a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination on risk new hospitalization. Two case-control studies nested in cohort COVID-19 patients cared for by Local Health Unit (LHU) Vercelli, Italy, were performed, one estimate second Each hospitalization matched with up 4 disease-free subjects who same age, sex index date (i.e., controls). Study followed from entry disease outcome, end follow-up or emigration. Vaccination...
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a clinical condition characterized by the rapid onset of dyspnea, hemoptysis and acute respiratory failure (ARF). It commonly caused autoimmune systemic vasculitis, pulmonary infections, drugs tumors. Here, we report case DAH frequent cannabis smoking. A 16-year old boy presented with hemoptysis, dyspnea ARF soon after laparoscopic surgery for varicocele in general anesthesia. The suspected diagnosis emerged from initial chest radiography, it was then...
An outbreak was described among the guests of a Long-Term Care Facility in North Italy. Among 23 guests, 20 whom were fully vaccinated with BNT162b2 vaccine, led to final count 11 positive 9 vaccinated, and 4 healthcare workers, only 1 vaccinated. Eight (six two unvaccinated) had symptoms that five cases (three death. The risk infection death appeared not be correlated health status neither serological titer, but age.
