Results. During the two-year period of the pandemic, we monitored the frequency of COVID-19 infection in children and adolescents with intellectual disorders, children’s mental condition, and the occurrence of post-COVID symptoms. We also discussed the role of society regarding economic stability and support for families with a disabled member. Conclusions. The severity of COVID-19 symptoms was the independent predictor of mental status deterioration.

IL-6 is the major activator of signal transducers and activators of transcription-3 (STAT3) during inflammatory responses. The primary objective of the study is to explore STAT3 activation in different subsets of circulating cells derived from 25 COVID-19 patients (patients) admitted to an Internal Medicine department compared to 25 healthy donors (HD). Higher percentages of classical and intermediate monocytes were observed in patients, compared to HD (respectively P<0.01 and P<0.001). The active form of STAT3, phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3) was significantly higher in patients, compared to HD, both in non-classical and in intermediate monocytes (P<0.001). Low-density neutrophils (LDN) count was significantly higher in patients compared to HD (P<0.001). The pSTAT3 was significantly higher in LDN derived from patients (P<0.05). High pSTAT3 was significantly directly related to d-dimer and inversely related to vitamin D levels (P<0.01).

Its application derives from the improvement of information obtained with computer sciences and informatics, in particular with information derived by algorithms obtained with special informatics support as machine learning. The scenario of hospital changes induced by the COVID-19 pandemic makes easy the application of AI for some clinical updates. Being lung failure with pulmonary embolism is the most common cause of death for inpatients with COVID-19, some biomarkers such as the d-dimer are constantly used associated with other clinical features in order to improve medical assistance. For this reason, d-dimer during the pandemic changed its traditional use for predictive negative value in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism and took relevance for its values giving the chance to change the intensity of anticoagulation for several inpatients. In most cases, according to data reported from several cohorts, these changes improved the morbidity and mortality of a significant percentage of inpatients with COVID-19. The International medical prevention registry on venous thromboembolism and d-dimer and modified sepsis-induced coagulopathy scores were the most used scores derived from AI and dedicated to these clinical aspects in inpatients with COVID-19. Therefore, this review was dedicated to flexible changes that we can use after d-dimer values in different clinical scenarios that vary from disseminated intravascular coagulation to pulmonary embolism to COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":43715,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139255018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between prolonged surgical mask-wearing and the development of adverse effects among 500 HCWs in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. The study utilized an anonymous questionnaire distributed across multiple departments in Jazan and Sabya Hospitals. The results indicated that most participants believed that wearing face masks for extended periods led to adverse skin and respiratory effects. The primary respiratory complaints were difficulty breathing and nasal itching, while skin-related issues included sweating, itching, and acne. Therefore, this study concludes that extended surgical mask usage during the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially lead to adverse health implications among HCWs in Jazan. Further research into this correlation is needed.","PeriodicalId":43715,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139257928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adaption and adoption of a healthy lifestyle remain challenging worldwide. An unhealthy diet is the core risk of lifestyle illnesses. However, the status of a healthy diet and its predictors were not assessed in Nekemte town targeting middle-aged adulthoods. The study was designed to assess healthy diet, prevalence and factors associated among middle-aged adults in Nekemte town from January 15, 2019, to February 30, 2019. Materials and Methods. A descriptive epidemiological study design typically cross-sectional analysis was applied in Nekemte town on middle-aged adults. Primary data was gathered by using a questionnaire and checked for its normality. Factors associated with dependent variables were analyzed with logistic regressions and their significance was determined at P<0.05. Results. The status of dieting practice was 73.31% (unhealthy) and 26.69% (healthy), respectively.

The odds of having an unhealthy diet were almost 3 times (AOR=3.20, [95% CI: (2.04, 5.98) higher for illiterate compared to literate participants. In addition, an unhealthy diet was nearly 5 times (AOR: 4.87, 95% CI: [3.23, 7.65]) higher for having poor knowledge of healthy diet compared to alert participants. Conclusions.
