Nursing homes (NHs) are crucial for de-hospitalization and addressing the needs of non-self-sufficient individuals with complex health issues. This study investigates the patient safety culture (PSC) in NHs within a northern Italian region, focusing on factor influencing overall safety perceptions and their contributions to subjective judgements of safety. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 25 NHs in the Autonomous Province of Trento.

In Veneto Region, HPV vaccine has been actively offered to 12 year-old females since 2008, and to 12 year-old males since 2015. The study aims to analyze the safety profile of HPV4v and HPV9v vaccines and perform a case-by-case review of conditions of interest. Spontaneous reports related to HPV uploaded to the database of the Regional Pharmacovigilance Center between 2008-2022 were included.

- Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) are a significant issue for people with diabetes (DM), but the relationship between the two in modern healthcare is not fully understood.
- In a study analyzing 937 patients with CVA, it was found that 21% had diabetes, with 22% being newly diagnosed during their hospital stay.
- While diabetes did not significantly increase the risk of death, it was associated with a higher likelihood of in-hospital complications, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and personalized treatments for diabetes in stroke patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the safety profiles of the MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, varicella) and MMR-V (measles, mumps, rubella with a separate varicella vaccine) vaccines in Italy.
- A total of 9,510 adverse event reports from the Veneto region were analyzed, with no significant safety concerns found for either vaccine type.
- The findings indicated higher rates of serious events in males aged 0-2 years, although these differences did not affect the overall safety of the vaccines, warranting further research.
Joubert syndrome (JS) is a recessively inherited congenital ataxia characterized by hypotonia, psychomotor delay, abnormal ocular movements, intellectual disability, and a peculiar cerebellar and brainstem malformation, the "molar tooth sign." Over 40 causative genes have been reported, all encoding for proteins implicated in the structure or functioning of the primary cilium, a subcellular organelle widely present in embryonic and adult tissues. In this paper, we developed an in vitro neuronal differentiation model using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), to evaluate possible neurodevelopmental defects in JS.
