β-Thalassemia heterozygote state detrimentally affects health expectation.

2018

Background: Thalassemia minor (Tm) individuals, are generally considered healthy. However, the prognosis of Tm individuals has not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of Tm versus controls without β-thalassemia carrier state. Methods: A total of 26,006 individuals seeking thalassemia screening at the AOOR Villa Sofia-V. Cervello, Palermo (Italy) were retrospectively studied. Logistic penalised regression model was used to estimate risk of potential complications and survival techniques were used to study mortality. Results: We identified a total of 4943 Tm and 21,063 controls. Tm was associated with significantly higher risks of hospitalisation for …

Liver injury, SARS‐COV‐2 infection and COVID‐19: What physicians should really know?

2021

Abstract Background & Aims Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), which in males, especially in advanced age, can sometimes evolve into acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition, mild to moderate alterations in liver function tests (LFTs) have been reported in the worst affected patients. Our review aims to analyse data on the incidence and prognostic value of LFT alterations, the underlying mechanisms and the management of pre‐existing liver disease in COVID‐19 affected patients. Methods We searched available literature through online PubMed database using terms as “SARS‐CoV‐2,” “Liver damage,” “Liver Func…

La nomina di Lodovico Mortara a primo presidente della Corte di Cassazione romana

2019

L’autore, prendendo spunto da un recente libro di Massimiliano Boni e da un articolo pubblicato sul Giornale d’Italia del 30 aprile 1915, ricostruisce la vicenda della tormentata “corsa” di Lodovico Mortara per la presidenza alla Cassazione romana. Ricostruisce anche taluni aspetti della personalità di Mor- tara e degli altri magistrati coinvolti, prendendo in esame le diverse ipotesi circa la possibile paternità dell’articolo sopra menzionato. The author, taking the cue from a recent book by Massimiliano Boni and from an article published in the Giornale d’Italia (April, 30th, 1915), recon- structs the story of the tormented “race” of Lodovico Mortara for the presi- dency of the Roman Cass…

2020

Background: Across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), one in ten deaths in children younger than 5 years is attributable to diarrhoea. The substantial between-country variation in both diarrhoea incidence and mortality is attributable to interventions that protect children, prevent infection, and treat disease. Identifying subnational regions with the highest burden and mapping associated risk factors can aid in reducing preventable childhood diarrhoea. Methods: We used Bayesian model-based geostatistics and a geolocated dataset comprising 15 072 746 children younger than 5 years from 466 surveys in 94 LMICs, in combination with findings of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuri…

Low-risk isn’t no-risk: Perinatal treatments and the health of low-income newborns

2019

We investigate the effects of perinatal medical treatments on low-income newborns who are classified as low-risk. A policy rule in The Netherlands states that low-risk deliveries before week 37 should be supervised by physicians and later deliveries only by midwives with no physician present. This creates large discontinuities in the probability of receiving medical interventions only physicians are allowed to perform. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find that babies born slightly before the week-37 cutoff are significantly less likely to die than babies born slightly later. Our data suggest that physician supervision of birth reduces the likelihood of adverse events such as fet…
