Gli italiani sotto l’onda anomala dell’emergenza. Il dominio dell’apprensione tra rischi percepiti e comportamenti responsabili

Il capitolo prende in esame i risultati dell'Indagine condotta sull'emergenza Covid-19 su un campione di quasi 15.000 cittadini italiani, assumendo come riferimento l'apprensione collettiva e la percezione del rischio. Sulla scorta dei risultati presentati, si può concludere che, com’era da attendersi, la popolazione italiana ha mostrato un livello abbastanza elevato di preoccupazione e percezione di rischio, con tratti di apprensione e vera e propria ansietà, ma in misura tutto sommato non eccessiva e comunque non eccedente rispetto alla effettiva gravità del problema.

Il virus in secondo piano. Prove di tv con il cambiamento: resilienza dei pubblici, visibilità delle donne e nuove responsabilità della comunicazione

L’effetto dirompente della pandemia da Covid–19 ha destabilizzato la
sfera pubblica internazionale e, ugualmente, gli universi mediali. Al balbettio
dei media tradizionali e persino dei compulsivi e più spregiudicati
social media, si accompagna la sorpresa di un ribaltamento delle logiche
dell’intero sistema del media system. Il rumore, la rissa televisiva e il
kitsch si ridimensionano lasciando spazio a paradossali silenzi compartecipati
dai pubblici a livello nazionale e globale. Silenzi assordanti e vuoti

Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in COVID-19 patients: a two-month retrospective analysis in an Italian hospital

Italy has experienced one of the harshest and earliest COVID-19 epidemics, with the number of patients infected that followed, from the end of February up to the end of March, an exponential trend [1]. Between the 6 March and the 2 May, 394 patients were confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2 at the University Hospital of Rome Policlinico Umberto I (PUI) [2].

SARS-CoV2 and immunosuppression. A double-edged sword

Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov2) outbreak has caused a pandemic rapidly impacting on the way of life of the entire world. This impact in the specific setting of transplantation and immunosuppression has been poorly explored to date. Discordant data exist on the impact of previous coronavirus outbreaks on immunosuppressed patients. Overall, only a very limited number of cases have been reported in literature, suggesting that transplanted patients not necessarily present an increased risk of severe SARS-Cov2-related disease compared to the general population.

Mortality risk assessment using CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores in patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 infection

Early risk stratification for complications and death related to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is needed. Because many patients with COVID-19 who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome have diffuse alveolar inflammatory damage associated with microvessel thrombosis, we aimed to investigate a common clinical tool, the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc, to aid in the prognostication of outcomes for COVID-19 patients.

Transplantation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nothing noble is accomplished without danger

The global health crisis due to the fast spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused major disruption in all aspects of healthcare. Transplantation is one of the most affected sectors, as it relies on a variety of services that have been drastically occupied to treat patients affected by COVID-19.

How to foster cities resilient to the COVID-19 pandemic through Urban Health strategies

Background - The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, which nowadays has exceeded 2.5 million notified infections in the world and about 200,000 deaths, is a strong reminder that urbanization has changed the way that people and communities live, work, and interact, and it's necessary to make the systems and local capacities resilient to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. How we can re-design the concept of Public Health in relation to the built environment and the contemporary cities?

The homes in the COVID-19 era. How their use and values are changing

The long lockdown, the frequent adoption of smart working, the online lessons for both school and university pupils, and the domestic isolation of many people in order to stop the spread of the SARS-CoV-2, have changed the way millions of people lived their home spaces in the last few months. This also led to a backlash on real estate values, enhancing some characteristics and penalizing others.
