Abstract As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, an increasing number of countries and territories are adopting restrictive measures based on physical (“social”) distancing, aimed at preventing human-to-human transmission thereby limiting virus propagation. Nationwide lockdowns, encompassing mass quarantine under stay-at-home ordinances, have already been proven effective to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in some countries. Nevertheless, a prolonged homestay may also be...

This study aims assess the magnitude of psychological distress and associated factors among hospital staff during COVID-19 pandemic in a large tertiary located north-east Italy. Methods All healthcare administrative working Verona University Hospital (Veneto, Italy) were asked complete web-based survey from 21 April 6 May 2020. Symptoms post-traumatic distress, anxiety...
Article Assessment of immune response to SARS-CoV-2 with fully automated MAGLUMI 2019-nCoV IgG and IgM chemiluminescence immunoassays was published on July 1, 2020 in the journal Clinical Chemistry Laboratory Medicine (CCLM) (volume 58, issue 7).
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a major disabling pathology, whose clinical, societal and economic burden remains mostly overlooked. Therefore, we aim to provide here concise overview on the recent worldwide epidemiology of this condition. Methods: An electronic search was performed in Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) repository, large database health-related data, using keyword "low pain". The result our downloaded comma-separated values (CSV), imported into an Excel file analyzed....
Objective: This study compared relapse prevention and acceptability of long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics in the maintenance treatment adults with nonaffective psychoses. Methods: The authors searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, CENTRAL, online registers for randomized controlled trials published until June 2020. Relative risks standardized mean differences were pooled using random-effects pairwise network meta-analysis. primary outcomes rate all-cause discontinuation...

Abstract Purpose: To assess prospectively the accuracy of diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in differentiating between metastatic and benign axillary lymph nodes patients with breast cancer. Materials Methods: In all, 215 histologically proven cancer, prior to dissection, underwent 1.5 T MRI. 102 whom at least one node a short axis 6 mm or more was found apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measured per patient by means an echo planar, parallel DWI sequence. Forty‐three...
Whole-slide imaging (WSI) technology can be used for primary diagnosis and consultation, including intraoperative (IO) frozen section (FS). We aimed to implement validate a digital system the FS evaluation of cancer transplant specimens following recommendations College American Pathologists.FS cases were routinely scanned at ×20 employing "Navigo" scanner system. IO diagnoses using glass versus slides after 3-week washout period recorded. Intraobserver concordance was evaluated accuracy...
There is increasing evidence that psycho-social factors can influence antimicrobial prescribing practice in hospitals and the community, represent potential barriers to stewardship interventions. Clinicians are conditioned both by emotional cognitive based on fear, uncertainty, a set of beliefs, risk perception bias, interpersonal established through social norms peer doctor-patient communication. However, gap emerging between research practice, no recommendation addresses most appropriate...
Background Asthma mortality has declined since the 1980s. Nevertheless World Health Organization (WHO) identified asthma as responsible for 225.000 deaths worldwide in 2005, and 430.000 fatal cases are expected by 2030. Some unexpected concentrated events all occurred between 2013 2015 Veneto, a North Eastern region of Italy, which prompted more in-depth investigation characteristics risk factors.Methods A web search including key words related to Italy been performed. Concerning that...
The prevalence of pure stress urinary incontinence (P-SUI) and the role urodynamic investigation (UDI) prior to surgery for (SUI) is debated. Since exact P-SUI not clear, its clinical economic impact well defined. aims this study were evaluate in a population women who underwent UDI (UI), also assessing: 1) correspondence between diagnosis findings; 2) analysis costs terms eventually post-UDI avoided surgical procedures.A single cohort UI January 2012 July 2016 was prospectively collected...
Biologics for severe asthma can significantly impact on the burden of disease and also have potential to reduce mortality. By reviewing literature contacting pharmaceutical companies, present paper aims at providing a worldwide snapshot biologic drugs availability, related with trend mortality rate, as marker disease.A decline in global rate annual was observed until 1980s, but overall no further reduction occurred, current estimation is 0.19 deaths per 100.000 people. A higher has been...
Appropriateness of diagnostic testing can be conventionally described as prescription the right test, using method, at time, to patient, with costs and for producing outcome. There is ongoing debate about real burden inappropriateness in laboratory diagnostics. The media coverage this issue has also recently led either over- or under-emphasizing clinical, organizational economic consequences. This quite problematic, inasmuch some reliable data are available current scientific literature,...
