Evidence for telemedicine heterogeneity in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases care: a scoping review.

Telemedicine and digital health represent alternative approaches for clinical practice; indeed, its potential in healthcare services for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and disease monitoring is widely acknowledged. These are all crucial issues to consider when dealing with chronic Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases (RMDs). The aim was to determine the current state of telemedicine in the field of rheumatology, considering the tools and devices in use as well as the Patient Reported Outcomes.

Evaluation of Biofilm Production and Antifungal Susceptibility to Fluconazole in Clinical Isolates of spp. in Both Planktonic and Biofilm Form.

spp. are an important opportunistic pathogen that can represent a possible cause of severe infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The clinical impact of spp.

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis caused by retro-pharyngeal infection.

Introduction: , a non-spore-forming anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus component of the human fecal microbiota has rarely been reported in human diseases. In almost every case described in current literature to date, dental diseases (abscesses, periodontitis, or caries), are the most common source of the infection which extends to the brain, cervical spaces, pulmonary parenchyma, the pleural cavity, the abdominal wall, and the abdominal cavity.

Case Report: An 82-year-old male Caucasian patient was admitted to our Emergency Department (ED) with a painless, right submandibular mass, dyspnea, and inspiratory stridor.

Analysing the Impact on Health and Environment from Biogas Production Process and Biomass Combustion: A Scoping Review.

The increasing demand for renewable energy production entails the development of novel green technologies, among them the use of biomass for energy generation. Industrial processes raise new issues regarding emerging risks for the health of people working in biogas plants and of nearby communities. The potential epidemiological and environmental impacts on human health related to biogas plants were assessed by means of a review of the available literature.

Biotic resistance of native fouling communities to bioinvasions could not be demonstrated by transplant experiments in Northern Italy.

Biotic resistance is considered an important driver in the establishment of non-indigenous species (NIS), but experiments in the marine environment have led to contradictory results. In this context, a transplant experiment of fouling communities was carried out over five months. Settlement panels were moved from low impact (species-rich native communities) to high impact sites by NIS in two Italian areas to test the biotic resistance hypothesis.
