Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how emergency department (ED) clinicians in Milan manage victims of physical violence, revealing that 991 medical records were analyzed to assess their handling of forensic details related to such cases.
- - Findings indicate that critical medicolegal activities are often overlooked by healthcare professionals, resulting in lost data that is vital for both justice and patient care.
- - The paper suggests that while ED clinicians are focused on immediate health needs, there should be specialized forensic staff or better training for existing clinicians to ensure proper handling of violent injury cases.
Importance: Owing to infrastructural and population characteristics, the prison setting is at increased risk for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and for severe clinical outcomes. Because of structural and operational reasons, research in prison settings is challenging and available studies are often monocentric and have limited temporal coverage; broader-based research is necessary.
Objectives: To assess the extent and dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic within the prison system of a large Italian region, Lombardy, and report the infection prevention and control measures implemented.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is one of the main biological systems that regulates the body's physiology. Autonomic nervous system regulatory capacity begins before birth as the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity contributes significantly to the fetus' development. In particular, several studies have shown how vagus nerve is involved in many vital processes during fetal, perinatal, and postnatal life: from the regulation of inflammation through the anti-inflammatory cholinergic pathway, which may affect the functioning of each organ, to the production of hormones involved in bioenergetic metabolism.
