Overview and potential role of omega-3 in COVID-19.

Obesity is a modifiable inflammatory commodity that has been linked to higher morbidity and mortality to those that contract novel viruses, such as H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2. Loss of life and the high cost of obesity highlights the need to focus on preventative measures. This article will discuss obesity as a crucial comorbid inflammatory condition during COVID-19 pandemic, focus on the mechanisms that may contribute to the likely benefits of omega-3 and provide potential recommendations to promote strategies for wellness.

Focused ultrasound therapy in movement disorders: management roadmap toward optimal pathway organization.

MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) lesioning is an innovative, safe and effective treatment which provides an innovative development in the field of minimally invasive stereotactic neurosurgery. Based on the application of focused ultrasound energy under full MR planning and thermal imaging control, unilateral lesioning of the thalamus, subthalamic nucleus, and globus pallidus is indicated for the treatment of movement disorders, including essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia. We started to apply this technique in February 2019 for the treatment of patients with movement disorders.

Nursing competence in continuous renal replacement therapy: development and validation of a measurement tool.

Background: Acute Renal Failure is an essential condition frequently encountered in intensive care units and requires targeted treatment. The critical care nursing team must be adequately trained to manage patients undergoing Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.

Objectives: To develop and validate the Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy - Measurement Competency Tool, aimed at measuring nursing competence in managing patients undergoing renal replacement techniques.

Virtual hospital and artificial intelligence: a first step towards the application of an innovative health system for the care of rare cerebrovascular diseases.

The development of virtual care options, including virtual hospital platforms, is rapidly changing the healthcare, mostly in the pandemic period, due to difficulties in in-person consultations. For this purpose, in 2020, a neurological Virtual Hospital (NOVHO) pilot study has been implemented, in order to experiment a multidisciplinary second opinion evaluation system for neurological diseases. Cerebrovascular diseases represent a preponderant part of neurological disorders.
