Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated to microvascular alterations. We screened the fundus of patients with COVID-19 detect alterations retina and its vasculature assess possible correlations clinical parameters.Cross-sectional study. The presence retinal in subjects unexposed virus was assessed using photographs their prevalence compared. Mean arteries diameter (MAD) mean veins (MVD) were compared between multiple linear regression including age, sex, ethnicity, body mass...
Little is known about the clinical outcomes of patients with human immunodeficiency virus infected SARS-CoV-2. We describe 47 referred to our hospital between 21 February and 16 April 2020 proven/probable COVID-19, 45 (96%) whom fully recovered 2 who died.
Abstract Despite constituting a widespread and significant environmental change, understanding of artificial nighttime skyglow is extremely limited. Until now, published monitoring studies have been local or regional in scope typically short duration. In this first major international compilation data we answer several key questions about properties. Skyglow observed to vary over four orders magnitude, range hundreds times larger than was the case before light. Nearly all study sites were...
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the frequency of ICU-acquired bloodstream infections in coronavirus disease 2019 patients. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. SETTING: The emergency expansion an ICU from eight general beds 30 beds. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with admitted Luigi Sacco Hospital (Milan, Italy) for greater than or equal 48 hours between February 21, 2020, and April 30, 2020. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: per 1,000 days stay was calculated 89 patients,...
Understanding the occurrence of symptoms resembling those severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a large nonhospitalized population at peak epidemic Italy is paramount importance; however, data are currently scarce.The aims this study were to evaluate association self-reported with SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) test results individuals and estimate associated disease (COVID-19) larger nontested population.EPICOVID19 self-administered cross-sectional voluntary...
The present study aims to evaluate whether influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations are associated with positive nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) testing detect SARS-CoV-2. Data from the Italian cross-sectional web-based survey (EPICOVID19), based on a self-selection sample of individuals aged ≥18, were considered. probability SARS-CoV-2 NPS test result as function or anti-pneumococcal vaccination was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression, stratifying analysis by age (<65 years, ≥65...
The study analyzed the association of fear contagion for oneself and family members (FMs) during first wave COVID-19 pandemic, with demographic socioeconomic status (SES) health factors. was performed within EPICOVID19 web-based Italian survey, involving adults from April–June 2020. Out 207,341 respondents, 95.9% completed questionnaire (60% women an average age 47.3 vs. 48.9 years among men). between SES characteristics, contacts cases, nasopharyngeal swab, self-perceived health, flu...
Anal and urethral samples from confirmed cases of monkeypox were screened for virus (MPXV) by real-time PCR. Isolation the was subsequently attempted in cell culture. Actively-replicating demonstrated 13 18 11 15 PCR-positive anal swabs, respectively, collected within 7 days symptoms onset. Two asymptomatic secondary had detectable MPXV genetic material secretion one, successfully isolated, supporting a potential sexual transmission hypothesis.
Background SARS-CoV-2 viremia has been found to be a potential prognostic factor in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Objective We aimed assess the association between and mortality COVID-19 during different epidemic periods. Methods A prospective registry was queried extract all with an available performed at hospital admission March 2020 January 2022. assessed by means of GeneFinderTM Plus RealAmp Kit assay ELITe MGB ® using <45 cycle threshold define positivity. Uni multivariable...
Recent studies have highlighted the prognostic value of easily accessible inflammatory markers, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) for predicting severe outcomes in patients affected by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Our study validates NLR PLR cut-off values from a prior cohort at IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo (OSM) Pavia, Italy, across two new cohorts different hospitals. This aims to enhance generalizability these indicators. In this retrospective...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious caused by SARS-CoV-2 primarily affecting the respiratory system which can damage vessels walls virtually in any body district. Changes retinal are a good marker for systemic vascular alterations. This study investigated during acute phase of COVID-19 and after patients recovery. Fifty-nine eyes from 32 80 53 unexposed subjects were included. Mean arteries diameter (MAD) mean veins (MVD) assessed through semi-automatic analysis on fundus...
This paper describes how mortality among hospitalised COVID-19 patients changed during the first three waves of epidemic in Italy.This prospective cohort study used Kaplan-Meier method to analyse time-dependent probability death all admitted a referral centre Milan, Italy, consecutive periods of: 21 February-31 July 2020 (first wave, W1), 1 August 2020-31 January 2021 (second W2), and February-30 April (third W3). Cox models were examine association between period admission after adjusting...
Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection, linked to several types of lesions. HPV, specifically HPV 16, accounts for anal cancer cases. In this study, we evaluated proportion samples tested positive and characterized genotypes distribution in specimens collected from individuals at risk infection attending 2018 2022 a large Infectious Diseases Department Italy. The presence DNA was investigated through commercial kit detecting 12 HR‐HPV, 8...
