Attitudes toward the SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza Vaccination in the Metropolitan Cities of Bologna and Palermo, Italy
2021
Vaccine hesitancy (VH) is known to play a relevant role in thwarting the efforts toward reaching satisfactory influenza vaccination coverage, and has caused similar difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the phenomenon and produce insights on the reasons behind VH. A survey was administered between December 2020 and February 2021 to adults living in the cities of Bologna and Palermo. Of the 443 subjects enrolled, 47.3% were likely to get the influenza vaccination, while 75.6% were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. The most frequent determinants that motivated the willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine were trust in the safety of vaccines and belie…
Nanotechnology against COVID-19: Immunization, diagnostic and therapeutic studies.
2021
The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in early 2020 soon led to the global pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since then, the clinical and scientific communities have been closely collaborating to develop effective strategies for controlling the ongoing pandemic. The game-changing fields of recent years, nanotechnology and nanomedicine have the potential to not only design new approaches, but also to improve existing methods for the fight against COVID-19. Nanomaterials can be used in the development of highly efficient, reusable personal protective equipment, and antiviral nano-coatings in public settings could prevent the spread of SAR…

2020
Spain has been hit hard by COVID-19, with more than 300 000 cases, 28 498 confirmed deaths,1 and around 44 000 excess deaths, as of Aug 4, 2020.2 More than 50 000 health workers have been infected, and nearly 20 000 deaths were in nursing homes.3 With a population of 47 million, these data place Spain among the worst affected countries. Spain is also reported to have one of the best performing health systems in the world4 and ranks 15th in the Global Health Security index.5 So how is it possible that Spain now finds itself in this position?

Estado de salud en adolescentes de España, México y Chile durante la COVID-19: un estudio transcultural.
2021
espanolLa pandemia provocada por la COVID-19 es una crisis sin precedentes en la historia reciente, cuyas consecuencias han tenido un impacto mundial. Una de las etapas mas vulnerables a los efectos de esta emergencia sanitaria es la adolescencia, pues atraviesan un proceso vital de cambios en diversos aspectos de su vida, y la inestabilidad social y economica se suma como factor de riesgo a su ajuste psicosocial. Los estudios a nivel transcultural han tratado de comparar y comprender las diferencias en la adaptacion de los y las adolescentes a la pandemia en diferentes partes del mundo. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el estado de salud actual, en comparacion con el estado de salu…
