Article Synopsis
- Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a neglected tropical disease found in Italy, primarily affecting wild boars and dogs, and poses a risk to rural populations and outdoor enthusiasts.
- A study was conducted involving 122 wild boar hunters from southern Italy, which included blood sampling and questionnaires to assess their knowledge about the infection risk related to CE.
- Results showed that 4.9% of hunters had exposure to CE, 6.3% of hunting dogs tested positive for Taeniidae eggs, and the findings indicate the need for better education and health monitoring to reduce infection rates among hunters and their dogs.

Aim: The current study aimed to identify digital health literacy levels among nurses with respect to their education, role and attitude towards digital technologies.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: Through convenience sampling, all Registered Nurses, managers/leaders and nurse researchers employed in Hospitals, University Hospitals and Districts were recruited and surveyed using an online questionnaire.
Background: Transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT) is a genetic disorder characterized by low haemoglobin levels, often leading to myocardial iron overload (MIO) and myocardial fibrosis (MF). Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) represents the gold standard for MIO and MF assessment, although its limited availability and high costs pose challenges. Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (LV GLS) measured by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) could offer a valuable alternative.

The definition of margins for wide local excision indicated by the guidelines has remained unchanged over the years, although the reported indications are derived from fairly dated studies in which melanomas tended to be thicker or in advanced stages at diagnosis. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the usefulness of wide local excision for local and general control of the disease and to identify patients who had benefited from the wide local excision procedure in terms of prognosis improvement.

Methods: An anonymous survey was given to Spanish and Italian veterinarians about canine UI treated cases, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and professional interest.
Results And Discussion: Most veterinarians treated ≤3 cases/quarter, resulting in the percentage of incontinence males being lower than that of females (1-4% vs 0-24%).
