: Vascular access device (VAD)-associated infections, including catheter-related (CRBSI) and catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CABSI), present significant challenges in patient care. While multidisciplinary VAD teams (VATs) are equipped with protocols for managing these infections, adherence to these guidelines in real-life practice is inconsistent. This study aims to evaluate the alignment between actual VAD infection management practices and VAT-recommended protocols.

This study aims to identify the main risk factors associated with rehospitalizations due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reinfections among residents of Lombardy, northern Italy.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted using two linked administrative databases covering demographic data, comorbidities, hospital records, and COVID-19 data of Lombardy residents.
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic experiments, complemented by quantum chemical DFT calculations, were carried out on the copper-doped metal-organic hybrid and Tutton salt analogue zinc creatininium sulfate to determine its crystal structure, to characterize the electronic structure of the doped Cu(II) binding site, and to propose a pathway for an excited-state, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process in UV-exposed crystals. The crystal structure is isomorphous to that of cadmium creatininium sulfate, which has the transition ion, not in direct coordination with the creatinine, but forming a hexahydrate complex, which is bridged to a creatininium through an intervening sulfate ion. The EPR (2.

- - The study examines how early treatments for COVID-19 affect the duration of virus shedding in high-risk individuals with mild symptoms.
- - Conducted at Luigi Sacco Hospital, the research involved 518 participants, revealing that early treatment significantly shortened viral shedding and reduced the likelihood of hospitalization and pneumonia.
- - The findings suggest that early interventions are essential for better health outcomes and resource management during the pandemic, with conditions like COPD influencing treatment effectiveness.
