Background: Sex differences have been demonstrated in the acute phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Women (F) were found to be less prone develop a severe than men (M), but few studies assessed sex-differences Long-COVID-19 syndrome. Methods: The aim this prospective/retrospective study was characterize long-term consequences infection based on sex. For purpose, we enrolled 223 patients (89 F and 134 M) who infected by SARS-CoV-2. In illness, reported following symptoms more...
Vaccinations used to prevent coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-the caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-are critical in order contain the ongoing pandemic. However, SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 vaccination rates have only slowly increased since beginning of campaign, even with at-risk workers (e.g., HCWs), presumptively because vaccine hesitancy. Vaccination mandates are considered instrumental rapidly improve immunization (but they minimize impact campaigns). In this study, we...
Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is an occupational health threat with increasing incidence in the geographic area of Italy. Despite this, TBE vaccination rates have ranged from 10% to 40% Italy, even at-risk workers. The reasons for this low rate are investigated present study knowledge, attitudes, and practices physicians (OP) regarding disease A total 229 OP participated internet-based survey by completing a structured questionnaire. Adequate general knowledge was found 58% OP. Accurate...

RSV vaccines are currently under development, preventive options limited to monoclonal antibodies (mAb). We assessed the knowledge, attitudes practices for sample general practitioners (GPs) from north-eastern Italy (2021), focusing on risk perception infants (age < 8 years) its potential effectors. administered an internet survey 543 GPs, with response rate 28.9%. Knowledge status was...

The present study was performed order to characterize their knowledge, attitudes practices on migraine workplaces. Materials Methods: A convenience sample 242 Italian OP (mean 47.8 ± 8.8 males 67.4%) participated an internet-based survey by completing structured...
Exoskeleton technology (ExT) has potential to significantly improve occupational health and safety. However, studies on stakeholders' perspectives are lacking. To facilitate the implementation of ExT workplaces, a study was undertaken exploring specific knowledge, attitudes (KAP) Health Safety Consultants (HSC).An online survey with quantitative qualitative components conducted HSC participating series qualification courses focusing new technologies in settings. Respondents rated whether...

West Nile virus (WNV) has progressively endemized in large areas of continental Europe, and particularly Northern Italy, the Po River Valley. During summer season 2022, Italy experienced an unprecedented surge incidence cases WNV infections, including its main complications (West fever (WNF) neuroinvasive disease (WNND)). As knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) medical professionals may be instrumental guaranteeing a prompt diagnosis accurate management incident cases, we performed...
