Article Synopsis
- Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), gaining attention in northeastern Italy.
- Until now, there have been no reported cases of TBE in Italy's central regions like Emilia-Romagna.
- This text reveals the first human case of TBEV infection in Emilia-Romagna, suggesting endemic transmission and identifying a potential hot spot in the Serramazzoni region.
Background: Older patients are prone to multimorbidity and polypharmacy, with an inherent risk of adverse events and drug interactions. To the best of our knowledge, available information on the appropriateness of lipid-lowering treatment is extremely limited.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to quantify and characterize lipid-lowering drug use in a population of complex in-hospital older patients.
