Preventing dementia in Italy: Estimations of modifiable risk factors and public health implications.

Background: Dementia is a major global public health challenge, with over 50 million cases in 2020, projected to reach 152 million by 2050. Effective prevention strategies are needed to reduce the impact of modifiable risk factors associated with dementia, particularly in countries with ageing populations like Italy. The Population Attributable Fraction (PAF) and Potential Impact Fraction (PIF) are key metrics for understanding and reducing dementia cases through targeted interventions.

Articulating Video Stylets in the Setting of Simulated Traumatic Cervical Spine Injury: A Comparison with Four Other Devices and Approaches to Endotracheal Intubation.

Simulation offers the opportunity to train healthcare professionals in complex scenarios, such as those with as traumatized patients. We conducted an observational cross-sectional research simulating trauma with cervical immobilization. We compared five techniques/devices: direct laryngoscopy (DL), videolaryngoscopy (VLS, Glidescope or McGrath), combined laryngo-bronchoscopy intubation (CLBI) and articulating video stylet (ProVu).

Factors influencing the acceptability of automated insulin delivery systems in youths with type 1 diabetes and their parents.

Aims: New technology has been reported as a factor driving people to choose an automatic insulin delivery system (AIDs) and to sustain its acceptance. We aimed to explore the role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology (instant scanning vs. real-time) and insulin treatment modality to determine the future acceptance of AIDs among T1D individuals.

SID/SIEDP expert consensus on optimizing clinical strategies for early detection and management of wolfram syndrome.

Wolfram Syndrome (WFS) is a rare, multisystemic, degenerative disease leading to premature death. Clinical and genetic heterogeneity makes WFS diagnosis and management challenging. The Italian Society of Diabetes (SID) and the Italian Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (SIEDP) convened an expert panel of professional healthcare practitioners to provide up-to-date knowledge about the pathophysiology, clinical presentation and treatment of WFS, and recommendations for the earlydetection and optimal disease management.
