Abstract Background Several socioeconomic conditions may influence subjects’ adherence to healthy eating habits. Food consumption be influenced by external stress during crisis periods; however, the effects of these events on food habits are difficult predict. Also, a pandemic like recent COVID-19 have dietary and consumption. The objective this study was compare Italian people before with those belonging year 2020 in nationwide population sample. Materials methods Information has been...
Behavioral distress and dysfunctions of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis play a central role in alcohol abuse. Omega-3 fatty acids are proposed as having antistress, regulatory effects on HPA responsiveness, but possible protective ethanol addiction is unexplored.A randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled trial was performed male alcoholics undergoing residential rehabilitation program, to evaluate the 3-week supplementation with fish-oil providing eicosapentaenoic (60...
Safe water is a global public health concern amid increasing scarcity and pollution. Bottled production consumption contribute to these problems. This study examines tap in Italy, assessing associated sociodemographic factors related outcomes such as obesity self-perceived status. Data from the Italian National Statistics Institute’s “Aspects of daily life” survey (N = 45,597) were analyzed. Covariates included education, age, gender, economic status, region, concerns about waste climate...
Meditation is proposed as an anti-stress practice lowering allostatic load and promoting well-being, with brief formats providing some of the benefits longer interventions. PsychoNeuroEndocrinoImmunology-based meditation (PNEIMED) combines teaching philosophy Buddhist a grounding in human physiology from systemic integrative perspective. We evaluated effects four-day PNEIMED training (30 h) on subjective objective indices stress healthy adults. A non-randomized, controlled, before-and-after...
Physical fitness has salutary psychological and physical effects in older adults by promoting neuroplasticity adaptation to stress. In aging, however, the of on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are mixed. We investigated association between cardiorespiratory HPA activity healthy elderly men (n = 22, mean age 68 y; smokers, obese subjects, those taking drugs or reporting recent stressful events were excluded), measuring saliva: i) daily pattern cortisol secretion (6 samples: 30’...

Plastic pollution is a growing concern. It can form smaller particles called microplastics (<5 mm). Microplastics break down into even pieces nanoplastics (<1 μm). These minute infiltrate human cells and tissues, with their health impacts still largely undetermined. On average, liter of bottled water includes about 240,000 tiny plastic. The purpose this study was to evaluate the association between use plastic (BW) several outcomes. Utilizing data from Italian National Institute Statistics'...
The emerging spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) strains, in particular, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, has become a significant threat to hospitalized patients. Carbapenemase genes are frequently located on plasmids than can be exchanged among clonal increasing the antibiotic resistance rate. aim this study was determine prevalence CPE patients upon their admission analyze selected associated factors. An investigation genetic features circulating carried...
Simulation has been recognized as a shift in healthcare education that can improve skills and patient safety outcomes. High-fidelity simulation of critical medical situations be source stress among participants interfere with students' abilities leading to unexpected emotional responses. The aim this study is determine if two methods, high-fidelity (HF) procedural (PS), may associated responses at self-perceived biological level (salivary cortisol variations), compare levels the different...
To evaluate the nutritional status and impact of an educational intervention on behaviour in alcohol-dependent patients.A pre-and post-intervention questionnaire a follow-up interview were administered to 58 patients residential alcohol treatment service.Females at lower risk being overweight than males, even after adjusting for amount preferred type beverage. Before intervention, 19% consumed 3 meals/day. Following 22.2% participants improved their knowledge. After 6 months, when 45 agreed...
We measured the prevalence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) in swine livestock workers, examined LA-MRSA resistance profile, and associated carriage with working activities.Information was collected on demographics occupational history. Swabs were tested for isolation S. aureus, antimicrobial susceptibility, all MRSA underwent ST398qPCR assay.LA-MRSA isolated 7.3% 396 enrolled workers. colonization more likely farmers than slaughterhouse workers...
Many individuals around the world follow vegetarian diet.

Participants (N = 14) were classified into 2 groups according their exposure due periods exams (n 6 n 8, respectively)....
Abstract Purpose The most harmful atmospheric pollutant for human health is particulate matter (PM). We analyzed the correlation between short-term lag exposure to PM10 and PM2.5, salivary cortisol TNF-α level, methylation levels of promoter. Methods A pilot study including 20 subjects. Eight samples each subject at various times day were collected comparing TNFα detection. promoter on DNA analyzed. Regression analyses performed using generalized linear mixed models different outcomes 4, 3,...
Background: Diabetes and hypertension are major global health challenges aggravated by COVID-19’s impact on healthcare lifestyle factors. This study aims to compare the prevalence associated socio-demographic factors of these conditions before after pandemic (2019 vs. 2022).

Logistic regression...
Hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal axis activity and cortisol patterns are likely to play a role in shift work tolerance, i.e., ability adapt without suffering stress-related consequences. Yet, the evidence is scanty. Here, salivary output during night shifts leisure days was assessed fast-forward rotating nursing staff (N = 30), possible links with series of variables – gender (30% male), age (M 39.6, SEM 1.57 y), years service 12.43, 1.48 BMI 23.29, 0.66 Kg/m2), self-rated chronotype, sleep...
To investigate the prevalence of obesity among different types employment status in Italian working population, and to examine associated risk factors.Cross-sectional survey 36 814 people that declared have been occupied with same type contract for at least 5 years was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression models were built considering workers' sex, age, education, family body mass index (BMI) category, leisure time occupational physical activity, weight control habits, smoking habit,...
