Article Synopsis
- Accidents are the leading cause of injury in children, with over half occurring at home; this study examined the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown on emergency department visits for domestic accidents in children aged 3-13 in Italy.
- During the lockdown (March-June 2020), visits for domestic accidents rose sharply, with a mean incidence increasing from 5.6% in 2019 to 17.9% in 2020, leading to a higher risk of hospitalization, particularly for boys and older children.
- The study's limitations include reliance on retrospective data that may not capture all incidents, but it emphasizes the need for public health campaigns to reduce domestic accident risks as a response to increased incidents during
Aims: The primary aim was to determine the prevalence of aquagenic wrinkling of the palms (AWP) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to controls, and secondarily to evaluate genotype-phenotype correlations among CF subjects found to have AWP.
Methods: Fifty-eight patients with CF underwent a hand immersion test in tap water. Twenty-three of their CF carrier relatives and 7 subjects with a negative genetic test for CF were recruited as controls.
