Article Synopsis
- Anesthesiologists are at risk from exposure to waste anesthetic gases, but research shows that newer gases like desflurane and sevoflurane may have better safety profiles compared to older ones like nitrous oxide.
- A study was conducted using health data from anesthesiologists and a control group of unexposed physicians in Italy from 2016 to 2022, analyzing liver and kidney function markers.
- The findings indicated no significant health differences between the two groups over time, except for a higher estimated glomerular filtrate in the exposed group, suggesting that exposure to anesthetic gases may not adversely affect liver or kidney functions.
COVID-19 vaccines represent effective public health measures in contrasting the pandemic worldwide. However, protection at the individual-level, which is of crucial importance from an occupational health perspective, is commonly assessed by a serological correlate of protection (CoP) for SARS-CoV-2, which has not yet been determined. The emergence of variants of concern (VOCs) that have shown high rates of breakthrough infections has further complicated the understanding of immune protection against infection.

Accordingly, we aimed at investigating whether a single OCT assessment can predict a disability risk in both relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and PMS.
Methods: One hundred one patients with RRMS and 79 patients with PMS underwent Spectral-Domain OCT, including intraretinal layer segmentation.
