Abstract	Background: Healthcare professionals are usually employed in civilian inpatient and outpatient settings but can also work in countries experiencing military conflict. Aims: To explore the lived experiences of healthcare professionals during the operation "Ancient Babylon" in Iraq to understand their feelings and problems encountered. Methods: Hermeneutic phenomenological study. In-depth interviews of nine nurses and one physician who took part in the operation between 2003 and 2006 were performed. Data from the collected narrations were analyzed to identify recurrent themes. Results: Seven main themes emerged: Conclusion: Advice and recommendations for those who are interested in pursuing similar experiences: they must develop decision-making skills, be able to rely on one's own abilities, have good professional training to fall back on, participate in exercises and simulations before the mission, and also be adaptable and innovative, flexible and able to stay mentally grounded.

Abstract	Context: The current reference frequency for tuning musical instruments is 440 Hz. Some theorists and musicians claim that the 432 Hz tuning has better effects on the human body, but there are no scientific studies that support this hypothesis. Objective: To identify differences in vital parameters and perceptions after listening to music at different frequencies, 440 Hz versus 432 Hz. Design: Cross-over pilot study. Setting: A room dedicated to listening to music, in an Italian city. Participants: 33 volunteers, not suffering from acute and/or chronic diseases. Interventions: Two sessions of music listening on different days. Both sessions used the same music (movie soundtracks) but tuned to 440 Hz on one day and 432 Hz on the other. Each session consisted of 20 min' listening. Main outcome measures: Vital parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation), perceptions (physical and emotional sensations, for example fatigue and stress), levels of concentration during the listening session, and general satisfaction with the experience. Results: 432 Hz tuned music was associated with a slight decrease of mean (systolic and diastolic) blood pressure values (although not significant), a marked decrease in the mean of heart rate (-4.79 bpm, p = 0.05) and a slight decrease of the mean respiratory rate values (1 r.a., p = 0.06), compared to 440 Hz. The subjects were more focused about listening to music and more generally satisfied after the sessions in which they listened to 432 Hz tuned music. Conclusions: The data suggests that 432 Hz tuned music can decrease heart rate more than 440 Hz tuned music. The study results suggest repeating the experiment with a larger sample pool and introducing randomized controlled trials covering more clinical parameters.

Title translation	Experiences, perceptions and emotions of the students of Degree Course in Nursing in the Internship: a mixed method study.
Abstract	Introduction: The internship is fundamental for the training of future professionals during the degree course in Nursing. Therefore, it is useful to investigate stress and difficulties experienced by students during this activity. Objective: to explore the students' experiences during their internships and identify the possible sources of related stress. Method: a mixed methods study with concurrent triangulation was designed. An ad hoc structured questionnaire was disseminated on the main social networks and conducted via in-depth, audiotaped, face-to-face interviews. Results: 177 people responded to the questionnaire. The main sources of stress during training were: "not having adequate feedback from the clinical tutors" (75%) and "not receiving support to meet patients' needs" (65%). The prevalent negative emotions were a "loneliness" (46%) and "impotence" (54%). 11 students were interviewed in depth. 5 fundamental themes and 13 related concepts emerged. The internship is considered fundamental, but there is the worry of not being able to learn what is necessary to carry out the profession in the future. The presence of competent and motivated clinical tutors and a greater involvement of university tutors in internship contexts are both considered important. Discussion and conclusions: the results suggest the need to identify methods of involvement university and clinical tutors, and the organization of internship experiences in care settings that could be suitable for the course year.

Abstract	The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s guidelines and the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) approach conceptualize the idea of real time monitoring of a process, with the primary objective of improvement of quality and also of time and resources saving. New instruments are needed to perform an efficient PAT process control and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), thanks to its rapid and drastic development of last years, could be a very good choice, in virtue of its high versatility, speed of analysis, non-destructiveness and absence of sample chemical treatment. This work was aimed to develop a NIR analytical method for bilastine assay in powder mixtures for direct compression. In particular, the use of NIR instrumentation should allow to control the bilastine concentration and the whole blending process, assuring the achievement of a homogeneous blend. The commercial tablet formulation of bilastine was particularly suitable for this purpose, due to its simple composition (four excipients) and direct compression manufacturing process. Calibration and validation set were prepared according to a Placket-Burman experimental design and acquired with a miniaturized NIR in-line instrument (MicroNIR by Viavi Solution Inc.). Chemometric was applied to optimize information extraction from spectra, by subjecting them to a Standard Normal Variate (SNV) and a Savitzky-Golay second derivative pre-treatment. This spectra pre-treatment, combined with the most suitable wavelength interval (resulted between 1087 and 1217 nm), enabled to obtain a Partial Least Square (PLS) model with a good predictive ability. The selected model, tried on laboratory and production batches, provided in both cases good assay predictions. Results were confirmed by traditional HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) content uniformity test on the final product.

Abstract	Background and aim: Healthcare providers in the emergency first response units have been exposed to a considerable stress during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This study was designed to identify the effects of listening to music during the work break compared to the routine break (in the absence of listening to music) on the level of state anxiety and on the vital parameters of the nurses on duty at the operations center. Methods: Randomized, controlled, three-arm, double-blind, single-center clinical study. Healthcare providers were divided into three groups according to study intervention (Group 1: listening to 440Hz music; Group 2: listening to 432Hz music; Group 3: liberal activity). The study was conducted during the working hours of dayshifts in an emergency first response unit station located in Tuscany, Italy. Outcomes were measured against measures of stress (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - STAIX1), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP), pain and productivity (Likert Scale) measured at baseline (T0) and at the end of exposure (T1). Results: Overall, 54 healthcare providers were enrolled; 32 females (59.3%); mean age of 39.64 years (SD±9.94); the total measurements performed were 83. The median values of STAI X1 decreased in all the 3 groups from T0 to T1 (Group 1: 34.5 vs. 32, p=0.0001; Group 2: 34 vs. 29, p=0.001; Group 3: 33 vs. 31, p=0.028). In Group 2 a reduction of mean values of respiratory rate and systolic blood pressure was recorded at T1 (-2.714 b/min, p=0.000 and -3.821 mmHg, p=0.031, respectively). Conclusions: Listening to music at 432 Hz is a low cost and short intervention that can be a useful resource to manage anxiety and stress. Further studies are needed to assess medium and long-term effects of listening to music.

Abstract	Background and aim of the work: Among people with spinal cord injuries, sleep disorders are considered one of the top well-being priorities. Some studies suggest that listening to music promotes sleep and improves its quality. These studies usually used music standardised at the frequency of 440 Hz. The aim of the present study is to compare the effects of listening to music tuned to 440 Hz and music tuned to 432 Hz on sleep in patients with spinal cord injuries. Methods: Double-blind cross-over pilot study in a single Italian Spinal Unit. 12 patients with spinal injuries were provided with mp3 players loaded with their favourite music tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz. They were invited to listen to music for 30 minutes each day, in the two periods of the study. "Sleep Scale for Medical Study" modified for this study, and the "Perceived Stress Scale" were chosen. Results: The participants were eight males (mean age =58.12, SD ±13.62), and four females (mean age =56.25, SD ±14.17). Five were quadriplegics and seven were paraplegics. Listening times and wash-out periods were variable. The stress decreased, but not significantly, with listening to music at both frequencies. After listening to music at 432 Hz there was a significant improvement in sleep scores (+3.6, p=0.02), while there was no improvement in sleep scores listening to music at 440 Hz (-1.50, p=0.34). Conclusions: The results suggest that further studies on music interventions at 432 Hz should be performed. It is advisable to increase sample sizes and use a range of different research methods.

Abstract	Background and aim of the work: Lots of studies describe High Fidelity Simulation (HFS) as an experience well-accepted by the learners. This study has explored doctors and nurses satisfaction levels during HFS sessions, searching the associations with the setting of simulation events (simulation center or on the field simulation). Moreover, we studied the correlation between HFS experience satisfaction levels and the socio-demographic features of the participants. Methods: Mixed method study, using the Satisfaction of High-Fidelity Simulation Experience (SESAF) questionnaire through an online survey. SESAF was administered to doctors and nurses who previously took part to HFS sessions in a simulation center or in the field. Quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics methods; qualitative data was performed through the Giorgi method. Results: 143 doctors and 94 nurses filled the questionnaire. The satisfaction level was high: on a 10 points scale, the mean score was 8.17 (SD±1.924). There was no significant difference between doctors and nurses satisfaction levels in almost all the SESAF factors. We didn't find any correlation between gender and HFS experience satisfaction levels. The knowledge of theoretical aspects of the simulated case before the HFS experience is related to a higher general satisfaction (r=0.166 p=0.05), a higher effectiveness of debriefing (r=0,143 p=0,05), and a higher professional impact (r=0.143 p=0.05). The respondents that performed a HFS on the field, were more satisfied than the others, and experienced a higher "professional impact", "clinical reasoning and self efficacy", and "team dynamics" (p< 0,01). Narrative data suggest that HFS facilitators should improve their behaviors during the debriefing. Conclusions: Healthcare managers should extend the HFS to all kind of healthcare workers in real clinical settings. There is the need to improve and implement the communication competences of HFS facilitators.

Abstract	The burden of end of life in Internal Medicine wards is not neglegible. However, literature evidence about end of life care in Internal Medicine wards lacks. Therefore, the aim of this study was to report on end of life management in a Internal Medicine ward. We performed a retrospective study focusing on characteristics and management of patients consecutively died in an italian Internal Medicine ward between 2018, July-1 and 2019, June-30. Demographic, co-morbidity, pharmacological treatment at hospital admission and in the last 48- hours of life and procedures during hospital stay were collected. Study population was composed by 354 patients (190 females), corresponding to about ten percent of patients admitted in the ward, with mean age ± DS 83.5 ± 10.6 years. Eighty-four percent of deaths was exepected in the last 48 hours before exitus. The main co-morbidities were blood hypertension (66.3 %), solid or haematological malignancies (40.3%), arhythmias (34.7%), pressure ulcers (31.3%) and diabetes (27.4%). The main causes of hospitalization were infectious diseases (23.1%) and cardiac or respiratory failure (20.9%). In seven percent of patients palliative cares had been already activated before the hospital admission. No patient had written living wills or advance directives. In the last 48 hours of life, the main phramacological classes prescribed were opioids (63.2%), antibiotics (46.9%) and corticosteroids (46.3%). Compared with pharmacological classes prescribed at hospital admission, in the last 48 hours of life the prescription of antibiotics, corticosteroids, opioids and benzodiazepines was significantly increased, whereas the prescription of antihypertensive agents, proton pump inhibitors and antithrombotic drugs resulted significantly reduced. Written order to withdrawal of vital parameters relevation or active treatment were found in 30.7% and 31.9%, respectively. In the last 48 hours of life, 61% of patients underwent to at least one blood assay, 34% arterial blood gas analysis and about 35% at ...
