Purpose: This study aims to describe the total EEG energy during episodes of intracranial hypertension (IH) and evaluate its potential as a classification feature for IH.
New Methods: We computed the sample correlation coefficient between intracranial pressure (ICP) and the total EEG energy. Additionally, a generalized additive model was employed to assess the relationship between arterial blood pressure (ABP), total EEG energy, and the odds of IH.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has shown genetic variability. All the variants that have sustained pandemic waves have shown several mutations, especially in the Spike protein that could affect viral pathogenesis. A total of 15,729 respiratory samples, collected between December 2020 and August 2022, have been included in this study.

- In August 2023, six cases of dengue virus 1 were reported in Lodi province, Lombardy, indicating local transmission in an area where the mosquito vector exists.
- Four of these cases required hospitalization, but there were no fatalities.
- The dengue strains found are closely related to those from Peru and Brazil, emphasizing the need for ongoing surveillance of tropical diseases in densely populated northern Italy.
Objectives: Plasma Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-DNA is a well-established prognostic biomarker in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Different methods for assessment include single-copy gene targeted, European Conformity (CE)-marked assays, which are mostly employed in non-endemic settings, vs multiple-copy gene targeted, in-house BamHI-W based assays, which currently represent the most widely used method for EBV-DNA quantification. To date, evidence concerning the commutability of these different assays is still limited.

Design: We analyzed patients hospitalized in a COVID hub during three one-month periods: (i) October 15, 2020-November 15, 2020 (prevaccination peak); (ii) October 15, 2021-November 15, 2021 (Delta wave); (iii) December 15, 2021-January 15, 2022 (Omicron wave). To define the epidemiologic context, SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers was analyzed.
