Article Synopsis
- The study investigates long-term symptoms of COVID-19, focusing on both hospitalized and home-isolated patients to detail persistent issues related to long COVID.
- Conducting a retrospective cohort study with 364 patients, researchers found that 82% experienced at least one symptom, primarily fatigue, and notable lung issues were detected in many patients.
- The findings highlight significant long-term effects of COVID-19, stressing the need for comprehensive healthcare approaches and multidisciplinary teams to manage and improve patient outcomes.
Background: Estimates of the spatiotemporal distribution of different mosquito vector species and the associated risk of transmission of arboviruses are key to design adequate policies for preventing local outbreaks and reducing the number of human infections in endemic areas. In this study, we quantified the abundance of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti and the local transmission potential for three arboviral infections at an unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution in areas where no entomological surveillance is available.
Methods: We developed a computational model to quantify the daily abundance of Aedes mosquitoes, leveraging temperature and precipitation records.
Eye diseases impose a significant burden on health services due to high case numbers. However, exposure to outdoor air pollution is seldom mentioned as potential harmful factor. We conducted a time-series analysis in Rome, Italy, to estimate the association between daily mean concentration of NO, PM and PM and daily number of emergency room (ER) admissions for a selected cluster of eye diseases from 2006 to 2016.

Early outbreak detection enables public health authorities to take effective actions to reduce disease transmission. Quantification of the reporting delays of cases is vital to plan and assess surveillance and control strategies.

We investigate the associations between habitat factors and temperature on individuals' risk of chikungunya (CHIKV) in a non-endemic area by spatially analyzing the data from the 2017 Italian outbreak.
Methodology/principal Findings: We adopted a case-control study design to analyze the association between land-cover variables, temperature, and human population density with CHIKV cases.
