Article Synopsis
- Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are diverse conditions impacting skin and underlying tissues, with varied symptoms, severity, and causes.
- A nationwide surveillance program in Italy aimed to gather extensive data on SSTIs, involving both inpatient and outpatient cases for a comprehensive analysis of clinical and microbiological aspects.
- Over a three-year period, 478 adult patients were studied, focusing on infection types, pathogens, antimicrobial susceptibilities, co-morbidities, treatment duration, and length of hospital stay to enhance understanding of SSTI management in Italy.
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that 99.7% of participants developed anti-S1 IgG antibodies, with an average titer of 4197 AU/ml, and those who had prior COVID-19 infection had significantly higher antibody levels than those without it.
- * The findings indicate that vaccinated individuals generally produced a robust immune response, and prior infection enhances antibody production post-vaccination.
Background: Myocardial injury (MI) can be detected during the acute phase of Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and is associated with a dismal prognosis. Recent imaging studies described the persistence of cardiac abnormalities after the recovery. The aim of the study was to investigate the spectrum of cardiac abnormalities at mid-term follow-up in patients recovered from COVID-19 using clinical assessment, laboratory tests, and imaging evaluation with comprehensive echocardiography.

Methods: Patients with a laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute (Milan, Italy) between March 14, 2020, and March 30, 2020 were included.
The emergency caused by Covid-19 pandemic raised interest in studying lifestyles and comorbidities as important determinants of poor Covid-19 prognosis. Data on tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity are still limited, while no data are available on the role of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products (HTP). To clarify the role of tobacco smoking and other lifestyle habits on COVID-19 severity and progression, we designed a longitudinal observational study titled COvid19 and SMOking in ITaly (COSMO-IT).
