Background Burnout is a multidimensional psychological syndrome that arises from chronic workplace stress. Health care workers (HCWs), who operate in physically and emotionally exhausting work contexts, constitute vulnerable group. This, coupled with its subsequent impact on patients public economic resources, makes burnout significant health concern. Various self-care practices have been suggested to positive effect among HCWs. Of these, physical activity stands out for ability combine...
This paper presents the design and development of a Battery Assisted Passive Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag in Ultra High-Frequency band integrated with inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors tested for biomechanical analysis human body movements. Enhanced by compact efficient meandered Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA), device exploits specific RFID chip having dual-access -wired wireless- to memory. A properly decoupled cell battery is also foreseen boost sensitivity supply...
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed work organization in favor of a working from home (WH) modality. We examined the association WH during pandemic with sleep health workers public research organization. An online cross-sectional survey 2022 at National Research Council Italy collected information on sociodemographics, characteristics, and pattern compared before WH. In whole sample (n = 748), total quality did not significantly change. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) decreased Total...
Over the last decade European Union has been coordinating actions addressing various aspects of rare diseases and funded several cross-border research projects. Recently initiated biggest disease international collaborative effort by launching International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC). RARE-Bestpractices is one more than 100 projects on under Seventh Framework Programme for Technological Development (FP7; 2007-2013) (1). As a wide, open inclusive network, will build knowledge...
Rare diseases are a global public health priority; they can cause significant morbidity and mortality, gravely affect quality of life, confer social economic burden on families communities. These conditions are, by their nature, encountered very infrequently clinicians. Thus, clinical practice guidelines potentially helpful in supporting decisions, policy resource allocation. The Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) system is structured transparent approach to...
The Internet of Things (IoT) framework has transformed sensor data utilization, ushering in a new era sensors integrated into various aspects modern environment. A pressing concern the realm wearable technology is efficient power management, encompassing low consumption and reducing battery recharging times. This study introduces an electronic device equipped with Bluetooth 5.1 Low Energy (BLE) module, capable detecting, collecting, aggregating transmitting Root Sum Squares Method (RSS)...
The COVID-19 outbreak has led to relevant changes in everyday life worldwide. One of these been a rapid transition and an increasing implementation working from home (WH) modality. This study aimed evaluate the impact mandatory WH during pandemic on lifestyle behaviors, Mediterranean diet adherence, body weight, depression.
