    Abstract During the last few years, the interest in performance measurement increased within the healthcare sector. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare systems needed to boost performance measurement systems to become more resilient and improve their capability in monitoring key performance indicators. Since the 1990s, the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) model has been widely used among private and public organizations as it is the most adopted model to measure performance. The current paper aims at understanding the evolution of BSC in healthcare. The systematic literature review has been carried out by searching keywords according to PRISMA guidelines. By analyzing papers through one classification of BSC adoption phases, the results reveal that studies focused mainly on the BSC design process, rather than BSC implementation, use, or review. However, there is no agreement about the perspectives to be adopted in healthcare. Concerning BSC implementation and use, on one side especially leadership, culture and communication enable the BSC implementation. On the other side, monitoring and strategic decision-making are the most widespread objectives for using BSC. Concerning BSC review, however, the paper highlights a need for additional research. Finally, the paper provides further research opportunities concerning the phases suitable for implementing a BSC in healthcare.

    Abstract The current world challenges include issues such as infectious disease pandemics, environmental health risks, food safety, and crime prevention. Through this article, a special emphasis is given to one of the main challenges in the healthcare sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, the cyber risk. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, theWorld Health Organization has detected a dramatic increase in the number of cyber-attacks. For instance, in Italy the COVID-19 emergency has heavily affected cybersecurity; from January to April 2020, the total of attacks, accidents, and violations of privacy to the detriment of companies and individuals has doubled. Using a systematic and rigorous approach, this paper aims to analyze the literature on the cyber risk in the healthcare sector to understand the real knowledge on this topic. The findings highlight the poor attention of the scientific community on this topic, except in the United States. The literature lacks research contributions to support cyber risk management in subject areas such as Business, Management and Accounting; Social Science; and Mathematics. This research outlines the need to empirically investigate the cyber risk, giving a practical solution to health facilities.

    Abstract Civil liability represents one of the main responsibilities for healthcare facilities; it is the legal responsibility of paying money for damage to a person's health. Even though this responsibility plays a key role in the economic sustainability of healthcare facilities, the literature does not enough investigate this responsibility in regional health services. The paper aims to define the evolution of compensation models for health civil liability adopted by regional health services. Through a longitudinal case study, the paper investigates the compensation model by a leading regional health service. The finding highlights the evolution of the compensation model for health civil liability adopted by a leading Regional Health Service from 1990 to 2021. It describes a transition from an insurance model to a mixed model based on self-coverage up to a set economic level, an insurance policy with self-insurance retention and deductible for all claims. The research contributes to the literature and practice throughout the definition of a compensation model for damages based on self-insurance of regional health service and insurance policies. The research promotes a compensation model used by a leading regional health service.

    Title translation Rhabdomyolysis and arterial hypertension caused by apparent excess of mineralocorticoids: a case report.
    Abstract We report the case of a 61-year-old man who was referred to our Institution because of severe hypokalemia, rhabdomyolysis and high blood pressure. Severe hypokalemia may lead to rhabdomyolysis. The plasma aldosterone concentrations were low and the plasma renin activity was suppressed. A diagnosis of apparent mineralocorticoid excess, attributable to licorice and grapefruit juice ingestion, was made. Glycyrrhizic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid, its hydrolytic product, in licorice extracts, and polyphenols, in grapefruit juice, can inhibit 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2, the enzyme that converts cortisol to cortisone. Moreover, having suspended licorice and grapefruit juice ingestion, the plasma K+ levels and blood pressure values progressively and simultaneously returned to normal. We would like to stress the diagnostic weight of a careful history taking.

    Abstract Background: Although antibiotic therapy is currently a gold standard for bacterial infections, it is not used for severe diseases like enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, in which the Shiga toxin is overproduced by antibiotic action The Lonicera japonica flower bud (LJF) is an herbal component used against purulent diseases in traditional Japanese and Chinese medicine We investigated the effects of LJF extract (LJFE) on Citrobacter rodentium-induced digestive tract infection in a mouse model Methods:Citrobacter rodentium and LJFE were orally administered to C57BL/6 mice The survival rate and bacterial colonization in the large intestine, mesenteric lymph node, and blood of mice were evaluated Cytokines secreted from intraperitoneal macrophages of LJFE-treated mice were measured using ELISA Moreover, the phagocytic activity of intraperitoneal macrophages against Citrobacter rodentium was compared between LJFE- or chlorogenic acid (CGA)-treated mice Results: LJFE significantly increased the survival rate and decreased Citrobacter rodentium colonization in mice Moreover, the values of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interferon-γsecreted from macrophages were increased following LJFE treatment While macrophages of LJFE-treated mice showed a significant phagocytic activity, macrophages of CGA-treated mice only showed a phagocytic tendency Conclusions: LJF may be useful for treating Citrobacter rodentium-induced digestive tract infection
