Moreover, the profile of these Italian CAM consumers in sarcoma patients is similar to other studies.

The use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) among Italian children: A cross-sectional survey.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of children using CAM in Novara is high, in line with investigations conducted in Northern European countries. The distribution of pathologies treated with CAM, parental socio-economic status and general scepticism towards vaccination are consistent with the literature. Physicians should keep themselves up-to-date also about evidence-based CAM therapies and, most importantly, should have an open dialogue about CAM with their patients.

Influenza and influenza-like syndromes: the subjects ’ beliefs, the attitude to prevention and treatment, and the impact in Italian general population
ConclusionsSeasonal prevalence of I-LSs and influenza partially overlap. As virus identification is not a common procedure in daily practice, only a clinical discrimination is possible.

Other approaches are receiving increasing attention in general population, and subjects ’ willingness to spend out-of-pocket for effective remedies is also increasing. The discrepancy between subjects’ beliefs and health care actions likely reflects the insufficiency of institutional ...
