Knowledge and Practice towards Alcohol Consumption in a Sample of University Students.

Alcohol affects many human systems and is involved in the pathogenesis of other diseases. Particular attention must be paid to alcohol consumption among young people. It has been shown that 25% of young people's deaths are attributable to alcohol, and around 35 million people aged over 11 had consumed at least one alcoholic beverage in 2015.

Cancer screenings among sexual and gender minorities by midwives' point of view.

Introduction: Although women belonging to sexual and gender minorities are more at risk of gynecological and breast cancer, pieces of evidence have been provided that this population finds hardships getting involved in cancer screening programs. This happens because they tend to avoid clinical settings because of fear of discrimination, heteronormative assumptions, heterosexism, classism, and homophobic slurs by healthcare professionals. On the other hand, medical programs that allow healthcare providers to have experience with LGBTQ people are scarce and there are no specific tools to assess sexual cancer risks in this population.

Advanced midwifery practice: intrapartum ultrasonography to assess fetal head station and comparison with vaginal digital examination.

Background: Vaginal digital examination is considered the gold standard to evaluate patients during labor and delivery. However, transperineal ultrasound has been suggested as an effective tool in determining fetal head station during labor. Angle of progression (AOP), head-perineal distance (HPD) and head-symphysis distance (HSD) are reliable parameters to assess fetal head station during labor.

Pregnancy in women with physical and intellectual disability: psychiatric implications.

Women with disabilities feel the desire for motherhood as much as women without special clinical needs. Their fertility is often not impacted by disability and they can have children. However, several issues must be considered, depending on the physical, mental or developmental disability.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders awareness in health professionals: implications for psychiatry.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are a plethora of malformative conditions leading to mental retardation that affect newborns and children who have been exposed to alcohol during pregnancy or breastfeeding. FASD is a relevant topic for public health in Europe: European area is first in ranking for alcohol use during pregnancy with a prevalence of 25.2%.

Role of neurotrophins in pregnancy, delivery and postpartum.

Neurotrophins (NTs) are a family of polypeptides whose functions have been extensively studied in the past two decades. In particular, Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) play a major role in the development, nutrition and growth of the central and peripheral nervous system and in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative, cardiometabolic and (auto)immune diseases. However, NGF and BDNF have subtle functions for follicular development, implantation, and placentation.

Health Challenges in Refugee Reception: Dateline Europe 2016.

The arrival of more than one million migrants, many of them refugees, has proved a major test for the European Union. Although international relief and monitoring agencies have been critical of makeshift camps in Calais and Eidomeni where infectious disease and overcrowding present major health risks, few have examined the nature of the official reception system and its impact on health delivery. Drawing upon research findings from an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded project, this article considers the physical and mental health of asylum-seekers in transit and analyses how the closure of borders has engendered health risks for populations in recognised reception centres in Sicily and in Greece.

A case of Legionella pneumophila evaluated with CT and ultrasound.

A 36-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department of "SS Annunziata" hospital in Chieti complaining of a sharp chest pain arisen some hours before admission. On examination, the patient looked sweaty; his vital signs showed tachycardia and augmented breath rate; sinus tachycardia and normal ventricular repolarization were observed on ECG, and no abnormalities were observed in the echoscan of the hearth. According to the clinical and electrocardiographic findings, and to previous episode of DVT in anamnesis, a thorax CT scan was performed in order to rule out pulmonary embolism.

Very atypical presentation of a retroperitoneal "atypical lipoma". A well differentiated liposarcoma presenting as sciatic hernia.

Unlike hernias and neoplasms of any other body site, the sciatic hernia is uncommon and the finding of an atypical lipoma in it is probably unique. In such instance making the correct diagnosis is paramount in order to perform a procedure with a radical intent. A CT scan must be considered any time a rare form of hernia is observed and the surgical treatment of a retroperitoneal lipoma has to be radical, to prevent a recurrence.
