Article Synopsis
- The study examined how full vaccination and the timing of vaccinations affected SARS-CoV-2 infection rates among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Italy's Marche Region.
- 81.2% of HCWs in the cohort were fully vaccinated, with factors such as age, role, and prior health status influencing vaccination rates.
- Vaccination reduced infection risk by 77%, particularly for those vaccinated earlier, highlighting the need for effective vaccination strategies for all HCWs.
Introduction: Age estimation is crucial in forensic and anthropological fields. Teeth, are valued for their resilience to environmental factors and their preservation over time, making them essential for age estimation when other skeletal remains deteriorate. Recently, Machine Learning algorithms have been used in age estimation, demonstrating high levels of accuracy.

Accurately estimating and predicting chronological age from some anthropometric characteristics of an individual without an identity document can be crucial in the context of a growing number of forced migrants. In the related literature, the prediction of chronological age mostly relies upon the use of a single predictor, which is usually represented by a dental/skeletal maturity index, or multiple independent ordinal predictor (stage of maturation). This paper is the first attempt to combine a robust method to predict chronological age, such as Bayesian calibration, and the use of multiple continuous indices as predictors.

Here, through meta-analysis, we determined the validity of age estimation methods and reproducibility of bone/dental maturity indices used for age estimation. The PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched to December 31, 2021 for human cross-sectional studies meeting pre-defined PICOS criteria that simultaneously assessed the reproducibility and validity.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The environment plays a key role in male infertility, changing the incidence in various populations, and pesticides are one of the most studied hazards. The use of the latter has never decreased, jeopardizing the safety of workers and the general population.
Objective: Our purpose was to summarize the results of studies discussing the association between pesticides and male fertility.
