Background: Several studies reported a reduced rate of accesses to pediatric emergency department (ED) for seizures during COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of our study is to evaluate the attendance to pediatric ED for seizures, as well as the influence of seizure type and personal history of seizures on the rate of admissions during the pandemic period.
Methods: The number and clinical features of patients admitted to the pediatric ED because of seizures were collected at a single hospital in Milan, Italy, between January 2017 and December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a long-lasting eye disease that can affect children's vision and often gets worse in certain seasons.
- A group of expert doctors in Italy worked together to create guidelines for diagnosing and treating VKC to help doctors manage the disease better.
- They recommend getting diagnosed quickly, using specific tools like the Bonini score, and using short treatments for better results when needed.
Article Synopsis
- A study collected data from 2,626 patients who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) in Italy from 2007 to 2017, focusing on those with normal or reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF).
- Reduced LVEF patients were further divided into ischemic and nonischemic groups, with the main goal being to track all-cause death and rehospitalizations over 8 years.
- Results showed that patients with reduced LVEF faced a higher risk of death and rehospitalizations, particularly those with an ischemic cause, highlighting the long-term challenges for these patients post-TAVR.
Article Synopsis
- Tricuspid insufficiency used to be thought of as not very important, but new research shows it actually plays a big role in causing problems with the right side of the heart.
- New technology is making it possible to treat patients who were too risky for regular surgery, helping them feel better and live better lives.
- The focus now is on getting patients the right care by sending them to specialized centers that know how to diagnose and treat this condition effectively.
Understanding the strength behavior and leaching characteristics of mining tailings stabilized with alkali-activated cements in the short, medium, and long term is crucial for the feasibility of material applications. In this context, this study assessed the stabilization/solidification of iron ore tailings (IOT) using alkali-activated binder (AAB) composed of sugarcane bagasse ash and eggshell lime at curing times of 7, 28, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days. Additionally, leaching tests were conducted, along with the examination of possible changes in the chemical and mineralogical composition resulting from exposure to acidic environments.
