Dentist's office represents an area with high infectious risk both for workers and patients. With our study we tried to analyse the relationship between dentists and prevention. We studied 104 dentists who had to answer to a questionnaire composed by 25 questions on topics such as job management, risk perception, measures adopted for prevention and knowledge about normatives regarding safety at work. From the answers we can conclude that dentists know the risk present in their work and use correctly the individual preventive dispositives; make blood control to test hepatitis markers, in particular HCV. But only 68% made HBV vaccination. Many dentists,even if they know the way of transmission of HIV, avoid to cure positive patient.

Decision support guided fluid challenges and stroke volume response during high-risk surgery: a post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Intravenous fluid is administered during high-risk surgery to optimize stroke volume (SV). To assess ongoing need for fluids, the hemodynamic response to a fluid bolus is evaluated using a fluid challenge technique. The Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) system is a decision support tool designed to ease the application of fluid challenges and thus improve fluid administration during high-risk surgery.

Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating condition characterised by significant heterogeneity. Early diagnosis is critical, but limited data exists on the condition's early stages. This study aimed to characterise (very) early CRPS patients and explore potential subgroups to enhance understanding of its mechanisms.

Background: Trials conducted in highly selected populations have shown that type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission is possible, but the feasibility and acceptability of supporting remission in routine clinical practice remain uncertain.
Aim: We explored primary care professionals' perceptions and understandings of T2D remission and their views about supporting remission within routine clinical care.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 GPs and nine nurses working in Scottish general practices.
Public opinion outweighs knowledge: A dual-process framework for understanding acceptance of genetic modification among scientists and laypeople.

Communication research on scientific issues has traditionally relied on the deficit model, which posits that increasing scientific knowledge leads to public acceptance. However, this model's effectiveness is questioned due to inconclusive impacts of knowledge on acceptance. To address this, we propose a dual-process framework combining the deficit model (with scientific knowledge as a key predictor) and a normative opinion process model (where perceived majority opinion plays a crucial role) to predict people's risk/benefit perceptions and their support for genetic modification (GM).

In recent years, the development of Forest Carbon Sink Project (FCSP) has become a key focus within forestry sector. Despite this, decision-makers often lack reliable tools to assess forest owners' willingness to engage in this project. This study aims to develop, validate and evaluate a rational value perception scale as the tool to understand the willingness of forest manager.
