- The healthcare sector benefits from partnerships between hospitals to enhance efficiency in technical and managerial operations, but creating interdependence is challenging and requires integration at various levels.
- The study examines the integration process between the interventional cath lab units of two hospitals over three years, focusing on workload data and procedure types.
- Results showed a steady increase in procedures post-integration with no significant change in critical metrics like door-to-balloon time or complication rates, indicating successful collaboration and skill development between the facilities.
Survey on tick-borne pathogens in ticks removed from humans in Northwestern Italy.
Vet Parasitol Reg Stud Reports
December 2019
Ticks are able to transmit several pathogens to the host while feeding, and thus are considered the most important vectors of infectious agents together with mosquitos. The global incidence of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) is rising, due to increased interactions between pathogens, hosts and vectors, linked to global changes. Given that information about the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in ticks removed from humans in Italy are scarce, the aim of the present study was to identify the species of ticks biting humans in Northwestern Italy and tick-borne pathogens they harbour.
