How the work of respiratory physiotherapists changes the tracheostomy management and decannulation in a NICU department: an Italian experience
We described the number of decannulations, the length of stay in NICU and decannulation time; the diagnosis of decannulated patients and the number of deaths. 928 total patients were analysed: 468 in P1, 460 in P2. Total length of stay or number of deaths did not change significantly between the two periods, while the number of decannulated patients before the discharge was higher in P2 143 (64%), compared with P1 79 (36%) p<0.001. More patients with neurological pathologies involving possible swallowing disorders, such as cerebral haemorrhage, head trauma and stroke, have been successfully decannulated in P2 than in P1...

New insights into the comorbid conditions of Turner syndrome: results from a long-term monocentric cohort study
ConclusionsThis cohort study confirms the need for continuous, structured and multidisciplinary lifelong monitoring of TS, thus ensuring the early diagnosis of important comorbid conditions, including cancer, and their appropriate and timely treatment. In addition, these data highlight the need for the increased surveillance of specific types of cancer in TS, including thyroid carcinoma.

Design and implementation of a Stroke Rehabilitation Registry for the systematic assessment of processes and outcomes and the development of data-driven prediction models: The STRATEGY study protocol
ConclusionsThis study will test the feasibility of a stroke rehabilitation registry in the Italian health context and provide a systematic assessment of processes and outcomes for quality assessment and benchmarking. By the development of data-driven prediction models in stroke rehabilitation, this study will pave the way for the development of decision support tools for patient-oriented therapy planning and rehabilitation outcomes maximization.Clinical tial registrationThe registration on ClinicalTrials.gov is ongoing and under review. The identification number will be provided when the review process will be completed.

The PRESTO study: awareness of stroke symptoms and time from onset to intervention
In conclusion, our results may suggest that an informative campaign can be successf ul in making people rapidly aware of stroke onset, with the consequent rapid access to hospitals. Considering the changing of way of access to information, we think that an extensive multimedia campaign should be evaluated in the next future.

Mortality and Morbidity Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Low-Level PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > , BC, NO < sub > 2 < /sub > , and O < sub > 3 < /sub > : An Analysis of European Cohorts in the ELAPSE Project
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and BC was positively associated with natural-cause and cause-specific mortality in the pooled cohort and the administrative cohorts. Associations were found well below current limit values and guidelines for PM2.5 and NO2. Associations tended to be supralinear, with steeper slopes at low exposures with no indication of a threshold. Two-pollutant models documented the importance of characterizing the ambient mixture with both NO2 and PM2.5. We mostly found negative associations with O3. In two-pollutant models with NO2, the negative associations with O3 were attenuated to esse...

Carotid artery stenting during endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke with tandem occlusion: the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke
ConclusionsAmong AIS patients with TO, CAS during EVT was associated with a higher rate of successful reperfusion and a lower rate of 3  months’ mortality.

Efficacy of a multiple-component and multifactorial personalized fall prevention program in a mixed population of community-dwelling older adults with stroke, Parkinson's Disease, or frailty compared to usual care: The PRE.C.I.S.A. randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThe intervention was ineffective in reducing the number of falls, the falling probability, and the time to the first fall at 12 months in a mixed population of community-dwelling elderly. A significant improvement for two balance indicators was recorded in the intervention group. Future studies are needed to explore different effects of the proposed interventions to reduce falls and consequences.

Lifestyle behaviours predicting major cardiovascular diseases mortality in a practically extinct cohort of middle-aged men followed-up for 61 years
Acta Cardiol. 2022 Jul 29:1-8. doi: 10.1080/00015385.2022.2101876. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo study lifetime relationships of three major lifestyle behaviours with cardiovascular mortality in a cohort of middle-aged men that reached practical extinction. In the Italian Areas of the Seven Countries Study of Cardiovascular Diseases (SCS), 1712 men were enrolled and examined in 1960, and behavioural habits were measured: smoking habits, physical activity and diet each divided into three classes. Follow-up for mortality was extended for 61 years. Three groups of major cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were used for analysis,...
