Aberrant Growth and development of Cross-Frequency Multiplex Useful Connectome within First-Episode, Drug-Naive Major Depressive Disorder and Schizophrenia.
 7% of patients were assigned a triage yellow tag and 1.0% a red tag. Almost one third of victims were non-Italian citizens; 14.2% of events were work-related; more than one third occurred in the home; in one third of cases, the aggressor was known to the victim; 96 people were diagnosed with fractures. The average time from start of medical care and Emergency Room discharge ranged from half an hour among white triage tags to more than three hours among yellow tags. More than 100 people experiences more than one violent episode. CONCLUSIONS this is the first description of frequency, characteristics, and health impact of violence in the area of Udine, providing information useful for a targeted prevention. It also highlights the central role of the Emergency Department not only for the registration of the phenomenon, but also for the management of the acute episodes and for the prevention of recurrent events.OBJECTIVES to assess time trend of lifestyles, cardiovascular risk factors, and prevalence of high-risk conditions in random samples of the general adult population residing in Emilia-Romagna, examined in two cross-sectional surveys conducted within the Epidemiological Cardiovascular Observatory (OEC 1998-2002) and the Epidemiological Cardiovascular Observatory/Health Examination Survey (OEC/HES 2008-2012). DESIGN cross-sectional surveys conducted on random samples of general adult population stratified by gender and age group in some municipalities of Emilia-Romagna. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS in Emilia-Romagna, 341 males and 354 females were examined in 1998-2002 and 307 males and 300 females were examined in 2008-2012. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES cardiovascular risk factors, high risk conditions, and proportion of population following healthy lifestyles recommendations.  https://www.selleckchem.com/EGFR(HER).html  RESULTS in the second survey, prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and mean values of total and LDL cholesterol were higher. Less than 30% of the sample consumes adequate quantities of vegetables and fish; cheeses, sausages, and sweets are overconsumed, as a higher cholesterol intake. CONCLUSIONS increased in total and LDL cholesterol are partly due to the reach diet, as suggested by nutrient consumption. Appropriate preventive actions for the improvement of the lifestyles and lipid profile in the general population are recommended.OBJECTIVES to give an overview of the use of safety devices in motorized vehicles in Italy in the years 2015-2017. DESIGN road side observational study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS a sample of 232,283 road users in 28 cities across the Italian territory with a resident population of more than 10 million inhabitants (17% of the Italian population) was considered. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES the use of seat belts (front and rear), child restraints, and motorcycle helmets were monitored. For each city, the survey was carried out in urban, sub-urban, and extra-urban areas.  https://www.selleckchem.com/EGFR(HER).html  Data were aggregated by three geographic areas North, Centre, and South. Data for front seat belts was also provided for drivers and passengers separately. RESULTS the use of front seat belts shows a dramatic geographical trend ranging from 82.6% (North) to 36.3% (South). Drivers use seat belts more frequently than passengers (63.3% vs 57.4%). The same North-South trend shows the use of rear seat belts (from 19.0% to 3.3%) and child restraints (from 59.9% to 16.6%). Helmet use was high everywhere in Italy (more than 94%). CONCLUSIONS despite the use of safety devices, which has been mandatory for many years, compliance seems to depend on the voluntary behaviour of drivers and passengers influenced by socioeconomical and cultural patterns. The use of rear seat belts and child restraints is still far from an acceptable level, as well as the use of front seat belts in the South and in the Centre. The increased use of safety devices would have significant public health and traffic safety implications, as a potential of 327 deaths/year could be saved.BACKGROUND as a legacy of the large asbestos consumption until the definitive ban in 1992, Italy had to tackle a real epidemic of asbestos related diseases. The Italian National Registry of Malignant Mesotheliomas (ReNaM) is a permanent surveillance system of mesothelioma incidence, with a regional structure. Aims, assignments and territorial network of ReNaM are described, as well as data collection, recording and coding procedures. OBJECTIVES to describe the Italian epidemiological surveillance system of mesothelioma incidence, to provide updated data about occurrence of malignant mesothelioma in Italy, and to discuss goals, attainments, and expectations of registering occupational cancer. DESIGN analysis of data by malignant mesothelioma incident cases surveillance system. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Italy, network of regional surveillance system, all Italian regions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES a Regional Operating Centre (COR) is currently established in all the Italian regions, actively searching incident maligns and information campaigns, and supporting the efficiency of insurance and welfare system. Monitoring the incidence of malignant mesothelioma through a specialized cancer registry is essential to follow-up the health effects of changing modalities and extent of occupational exposures over years and of environmental contamination. Such consolidated surveillance system is recommended also for occupational cancers with low aetiological fraction.INTRODUCTION The latest global reports show that in 2016, 2.6 million children died worldwide during their first month of birth. Also, the proportion of neonatal deaths among the deaths of children under 5 increased between 1990 and 2015 from 26% in 1990 to 35% in 2015 [1]. METHOD An anthropological study in public health and home-based structures in north Togo (Savanes region) allowed us to observe and perform a clinical ethnography of different perinatal death situations. RESULTS The nursing staff, consider the mother as responsible She didn't come to the hospital early; she was ill but did not get treated or she was late for the expulsion leaving the newborn suffocating. The health care staff is rarely called into question in the face of such a situation. In addition to the guilt of grieving mothers, these tragic situations are in most cases erased as having never occurred by the nursing staff and also by the family silence and many things left unsaid surround these deaths. CONCLUSION This study shows that we need to initiate death audits in the maternity wards in order to improve care for mothers and newborns.
