Background: We sought to clarify possibly modifiable risk factors related to pollution responsible for acute bronchiolitis in hospitalized infants. Methods: For this observational study, we recruited 213 consecutive infants with bronchiolitis (cases: median age: 2 months; age range: 0.5-12 months; boys: 55.4%) and 213 children aged

BACKGROUND: Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection constitutes the principal risk factor for the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer. For this reason, new drugs have been studied to support the host immune system against the HPV infection. The aim of this retrospective, case-control study was to detect the efficacy and safety of carboxymethyl ?-glucan (Colpofix®) gel as adjuvant therapy in HPV infection. METHODS: The medical records of patients attending the Colposcopy Service of four hospitals in Rome from 2011 to 2013 were collected.

Il saggio esamina alcune questioni di diritto dell’Unione europea e di diritto costituzionale italiano concernenti la dichiarazione UE-Turchia del 2016, il Memorandum d’intesa Italia-Libia del 2017 e l’accordo di cooperazione Italia-Niger del 2017. Si vuole evidenziare come nella gestione dell’immigrazione e delle frontiere – a livello europeo e nazionale – il processo di “de-formalizzazione” e “informalizzazione” degli accordi internazionali contribuisca a riportare il diritto dell’immigrazione a un metodo intergovernativo.

Do agglomeration externalities affect firm survival? Regional Studies. This paper analyses the impact of spatial
agglomeration externalities on Italian start-up firms’ survival. Italy represents a relevant case study given the wellknown
role of firm clusters in the country’s economic development. Results obtained support the hypothesis that
industry variety reduces the likelihood of firm exit. Specifically, related variety, which contributes to the generation

Background: Intestinal failure (IF) is the reduction in functioning gut mass below the minimal level necessary for adequate digestion and absorption of nutrients and fluids for weight maintenance in adults or for growth in children. There is a paucity of epidemiologic data on pediatric IF. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, incidence, regional distribution and underlying diagnosis of pediatric chronic IF (CIF) requiring home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in Italy.

In recent years, the consumption of insects, or entomophagy, has produced an increasing interest amongst scientists and ecologists as a potential source of animal protein. Eating insects is also interesting in terms of low greenhouse gas emissions and low land use. In contrast to tropical countries, where most of the 2000 edible insect species are traditionally consumed, the concept of eating insects is still new toWestern culture and diet.

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) causes elevated outlays for the National Health Systems due to high institutionalization rate and patients' reduced quality of life and high mortality. Furthermore, DLB is often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. These data motivate harmonized multicenter longitudinal cohort studies to improve clinical management and therapy monitoring.
