    Title translation Disability in children and adolescents: a reflection of the Italian GBD initiative.
    Abstract Childhood and adolescence are vulnerable and crucial phases for determining health in adulthood. Despite the enormous progress achieved in child and adolescent's health and well-being globally, the disability burden has remained almost unchanged. In 2019, in Italy and globally, low back pain, headache disorders, depression, and anxiety were among the first causes of disability. Through the analysis of the estimates of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, we propose a reflection on the state of health of the Italian paediatric and adolescent population in terms of disability, suggesting recommendations on preventive actions, and public health interventions. The aim is the improvement of their health, considering how the current COVID-19 pandemic is impacting on their quality of life.

    Abstract The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused a global shortage of medical masks, leaving most exposed health personnel without appropriate protection.Since the beginning of the outbreak, the World Health Organization WHO) has revised several times the recommendations on general use of facemasks. Until recently, WHO recommended to limit the use of facemasks to symptomatic people and advised against off-standard solutions. Moreover, recommendations differ among and within countries, causing public confusion and individual initiative.There is wide consensus that universal appropriate use of masks may contribute both to contain the epidemic and to reduce the burden on national procurement, if a community production approach is followed. Especially in low-middle income countries, due to the scarce capacity of national industrial production or import, the use of masks produced at community level may become the only viable option. For the purpose ad hoc guidelines will be needed.Current knowledge and experience call for further and updated review of global and national guidelines to provide clear and consistent criteria to ensure the widest availability and appropriate use of facial protection, bearing in mind populations in socio-economic disadvantaged settings.

    Abstract Objectives: The World Health Organization recommends induction of labour (IOL) for low risk pregnancy from 41 + 0 gestational weeks (GW). Nevertheless, in Sri Lanka IOL at 40 GW is a common practice. This study compares maternal/newborn outcomes after IOL at 40 GW (IOL40) or 41 GW (IOL41) versus spontaneous onset of labour (SOL).
    Methods: Data were extracted from the routine prospective individual patient database of the Soysa Teaching Hospital for Women, Colombo. IOL and SOL groups were compared using logistic regression.
    Results: Of 13,670 deliveries, 2359 (17.4%) were singleton and low risk at 40 or 41 GW. Of these, 456 (19.3%) women underwent IOL40, 318 (13.5%) IOL41, and 1585 (67.2%) SOL. Both IOL40 and IOL41 were associated with an increased risk of any maternal/newborn negative outcomes (OR = 2.21, 95%CI = 1.75-2.77, p < 0.001 and OR = 1.91, 95%CI = 1.47-2.48, p < 0.001 respectively), maternal complications (OR = 2.18, 95%CI = 1.71-2.77, p < 0.001 and OR = 2.34, 95%CI = 1.78-3.07, p < 0.001 respectively) and caesarean section (OR = 2.75, 95%CI = 2.07-3.65, p < 0.001 and OR = 3.01, 95%CI = 2.21-4.12, p < 0.001 respectively). Results did not change in secondary and sensitivity analyses.
    Conclusions: Both IOL groups were associated with higher risk of negative outcomes compared to SOL. Findings, potentially explained by selection bias, local IOL protocols and CS practices, are valuable for Sri Lanka, particularly given contradictory findings from other settings.

    Abstract Objective: Neurosurgical indications for the superior eyelid transorbital endoscopic approach (SETOA) are rapidly expanding over the last years. Nevertheless, as any new technique, a detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the surgical target area, the operative corridor, and the specific surgical landmark from this different perspective is required for a safest and successful surgery. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide, through anatomical dissections, a detailed investigation of the surgical anatomy revealed by SETOA via anterolateral triangle of the middle cranial fossa. We also sought to define the relevant surgical landmarks of this operative corridor.
    Methods: Eight embalmed and injected adult cadaveric specimens (16 sides) underwent dissection and exposure of the cavernous sinus and middle cranial fossa via superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach. The anterolateral triangle was opened and its content exposed. An extended endoscopic endonasal trans-clival approach (EEEA) with exposure of the cavernous sinus content and skeletonization of the paraclival and parasellar segments of the internal carotid artery (ICA) was also performed, and the anterolateral triangle was exposed. Measurements of the surface area of this triangle from both surgical corridors were calculated in three head specimens using coordinates of its borders under image-guide navigation.
    Results: The drilling of the anterolateral triangle via SETOA unfolds a space that can be divided by the course of the vidian nerve into two windows, a wider "supravidian" and a narrower "infravidian," which reveal different anatomical corridors: a "medial supravidian" and a "lateral supravidian," divided by the lacerum segment of the ICA, leading to the lower clivus, and to the medial aspect of the Meckel's cave and terminal part of the horizontal petrous ICA, respectively. The infravidian corridor leads medially into the sphenoid sinus. The arithmetic means of the accessible surface area of the anterolateral triangle were 45.48 ± 3.31 and 42.32 ± 2.17 mm
    Conclusion: SETOA can be considered a minimally invasive route complementary to the extended endoscopic endonasal approach to the anteromedial aspect of the Meckel's cave and the foramen lacerum. The lateral loop of the trigeminal nerve represents a reliable surgical landmark to localize the lacerum segment of the ICA from this corridor. Nevertheless, as any new technique, a learning curve is needed, and the clinical feasibility should be proven.
