Emergency management in patients with haemophilia A and inhibitors on prophylaxis with emicizumab: AICE practical guidance in collaboration with SIBioC, SIMEU, SIMEUP, SIPMeL and SISET

Emicizumab has been approved in several countries for regular prophylaxis in patients with congenital haemophilia A and FVIII inhibitors because it substantially reduces their bleeding risk and improves quality of life. However, although significantly less frequent, some breakthrough bleeds may still occur while on emicizumab, requiring treatment with bypassing or other haemostatic agents. Thrombotic complications have been reported with the associated use of activated prothrombin complex concentrates.

Food Styles and Well-Being of Italian People: A Contribution from Official Statistics

The work focuses the relationship between well-being and Italian lifestyle related to food, as it emerges from the National Institute of Statistics’ data. The work highlights how the official statistics can help both common citizens and decision-makers to better understand the current state of eating habits in our country.

Sustainability of Wellbeing: An Analysis of Resilience and Vulnerability Through Subjective Indicators

Many scholars have focused on how the concepts of vulnerability and resilience may be employed in the analysis of sustainability. Different approaches have been proposed, concerning different fields of application (from environmental to financial settings). While much of the existing literature on vulnerability and resilience is sector-specific, we propose a more holistic approach that allows the sustainability of human well-being to be analyzed as a whole. In particular we apply those concepts to BES (Benessere, Equo e Sostenibile) framework, where 12 domains are included.

The aim of this work is investigate relationship between health-related quality of life and work-related stress and the impact of gender, education level, and age on this relationship. A cross-sectional study was conducted among workers of various setting in Rome and Frosinone. Work-related stress was measured with a demand-control questionnaire and health-related functioning by SF (short form)-12 health survey. There were 611 participants. Men reported high mental composite summary (MCS) and physical composite summary (PCS). In multivariate analysis age, gender (p

Mapping assessments instruments for headache disorders against the icf biopsychosocial model of health and disability

Headache disorders have a strong impact on sufferers’ lives. However, the “content” of assessment instruments addressing concepts, such as disability and quality of life (QoL), has not comprehensively been addressed. We searched SCOPUS for research papers in which outcome measures were used in adult populations of patients with migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and cluster headache (CH). The content of single instruments was then mapped against the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health.

High-intensity focused ultrasound for pain management in patients with cancer

Cancer-related pain affects up to 80% of patients with malignancies. Pain is an important distressing symptom that diminishes the quality of life and negatively affects the survival of patients. Opioid analgesics are generally the primary therapy for cancer-related pain, with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other interventions used in cases of treatment-resistant pain. These treatments, which can be associated with substantial side effects and systemic toxicity, may not be effective.

Does medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw influence the quality of life of cancer patients?

The aim of this study is to observe the influence of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of
the Jaw (MRONJ) on the physical and mental conditions of cancer patients using a Quality of Life
(QoL) questionnaire during regular dental practice measures. Twenty cancer patients (8 males and
12 females) with established MRONJ were enrolled in the “MoMax” (Oral Medicine and
Maxillofacial) project of the Department of Oral Sciences and Maxillofacial Surgery at “Sapienza”
University of Rome, and were included in the study. The 12-item Short Form Survey was used to

The alteration of stress-related physiological parameters after probiotics administration in oral surgeons with different degrees of surgical experience

Purpose. Stress is a multifactorial and complex pathway, gaining growing attention from the healthcare community. Surgeons arc subjected to higher levels of stress, due to surgical procedures that arc demanding and repetitive; unfortunately, high-stress levels may also cause side-effects, as surgical mistakes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of specific probiotics strains formula on stress levels in oral and maxillofacial surgeons, to improve their quality of life. Methods.
