Abstract In recent years, whey proteins (WP) have attracted increasing attention in health and disease for their bioactive functions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit WP isolate (WPI) supplementation addition nutritional counseling malnourished advanced cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (CT). a single‐center, randomized, pragmatic, parallel‐group controlled trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov : NCT02065726), 166 with mixed tumor entities candidate or CT were randomly assigned...
Vaccine breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection has been monitored in 3720 healthcare workers receiving 2 doses of BNT162b2. is detected 33 subjects, with a 100-day cumulative incidence 0.93%. protection against acquisition 83% (95%CI: 58-93%) the overall population and 93% 69-99%) SARS-CoV-2-experienced when compared non-vaccinated control group from same Institution, which occurs 20/346 subjects (100-day incidence: 5.78%). The symptomatic 16 (48%) vaccinated vs 17 (85%) controls (p = 0.01). All...
There is need for improvement in effective pressure ulcers preventive strategies.To study whether a multi-layer silicone-adhesive polyurethane foam dressing shaped the sacrum prevents PUs development addition to standard PU care at-risk hospitalized patients.Open-label, parallel group, multi-center randomized controlled trial.709 in-hospital patients at risk from 25 medical, surgical, and intensive units of 12 Italian hospitals.A was applied intervention group. In control alone, including...
We compared the characteristics and outcomes of vaccinated nonvaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-19.We analyzed in a COVID hub during three one-month periods: (i) October 15, 2020-November 2020 (prevaccination peak); (ii) 2021-November 2021 (Delta wave); (iii) December 2021-January 2022 (Omicron wave). To define epidemiologic context, SARS-CoV-2 infection healthcare workers was analyzed.SARS-CoV-2 incidence 146 cases per 1000 persons (prevaccination) 67 (postvaccination, when...
Abstract Background Lung ultrasound has been increasingly used in the last years for assessment of patients with respiratory diseases; it is considered a simple technique, now spreading from physicians to other healthcare professionals as nurses and physiotherapists, well medical students. These providers may require different training acquire lung skills, since they are expected have no previous experience ultrasound. The aim study was assess impact short theoretical focused on pattern...
The use of micronutrients such as vitamin D could improve the response to viral vaccines, particularly in immunosuppressed and immunosenescent subjects. Here, we analysed association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25OHD) levels immune elicited by BNT162b2 vaccine a cohort 101 healthcare workers naïve for SARS-CoV-2 infection. We observed no significant differences anti-spike (S) IgG T-cell responses according 25OHD status at baseline. However, correlations concentration baseline (i) anti-S...
The COVID-19 outbreak has drastically changed practices inside hospitals, which include oncology routines. In oncology, malnutrition was and certainly still is a frequent problem associated with an increase in treatment-related toxicity, reduced response to cancer treatment, impaired quality of life, worse overall prognosis. Even this situation healthcare crisis, nutritional support care essential element. During the current pandemic, there concrete high risk see dramatic worsening patients'...
Introduction: The sudden increase in the number of critically ill patients following a disaster can be overwhelming. Study Objective: main objective this study was to assess real available and readily freeable beds ("bed surge capacity") availability emergency operating rooms (OR) maximum using theoretical simulation. Patients Methods: proportion dismissible four areas (Medical Area, Surgical Sub-intensive Care Units, Intensive Units) three OR assessed at 2 24 hours after simulated...
Northern Italy is facing a 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak1,2; patients are mainly minimally symptomatic but may develop acute respiratory failure requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).3 Logistics fundamental for safety of both healthcare professionals and ICU patients, limit spread this highly infective disease.Once alerted first case ICU, section our was emptied reorganized in 2 h (fig. 1). Access limited minimal number providers mandatory through double filter....
Distress could be often experienced by breast cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Those distress assessment is strategic to deliver care in a tailored way, enhancing the overall wellbeing. So far, those measurable Chemotherapy-induced Alopecia Scale (CADS), which not yet available Italian, due there are no validation studies on this topic. For reason, aim of study was validate and adapt within Italian context (I-CADS). Specifically, following validations were assessed:...

Background Patient safety, including safe drug administration, is an essential component of the nursing profession. Mathematical competence considered skill for nurses. Drug administration among principle duties nurses, therefore it that nurses are able to carry out, dosage calculations, assure patient safety. Nursing research indicates a poor medication calculation international issue Aim To verify if calculator use in written Maths Skill Test (MST) reduces errors test and improves...
<b>Background:</b> Lung ultrasound significantly improves the differential diagnosis of acute respiratory failure and in particular allows ruling or out pneumothorax by analysis lung sliding with high accuracy[1]. Nurses frequently assess patients distress independently; this happens case trauma assisted nurse-only emergency teams pre-hospital field. So far nurses only used auscultation but may improve their assessment accuracy using ultrasound, after having received a proper training [2]....
