    Abstract Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) prevention in shift workers (SWs) poses a significant challenge worldwide, as CAD remains a major cause of mortality and disability. In the past, SWs were found at higher risk of CAD than non-s SWs. Nevertheless, the pathogenic mechanism between shift work and CAD to date is unclear. This systematic review aims to enhance understanding of the risk of CAD occurrence in SWs.
    Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted from January 2013 to December 2023. MEDLINE/Pubmed databases were used initially, and additional relevant studies were searched from references. Shift work was defined as any schedule outside traditional shifts, including the night shift.
    Results: Fifteen pertinent papers were categorized into risk assessment or risk management. Findings demonstrated an increased risk of CAD among SWs compared to non-SWs, with an increased CAD risk observed for both shift work and night shift work.
    Discussion: Duration-response associations indicate that greater shift exposure is linked to higher CAD risk. SWs incur an increased risk of CAD through the atherosclerotic process. As shift work duration increases as the risk of atherosclerosis is higher, workers demonstrate a higher prevalence and severity of coronary artery plaques.
    Conclusions: The evidence-based results underscore the increased risk of CAD in SWs and are sufficient for proposing guidelines aimed at reducing the risk of CAD in SWs and at managing people with CAD in return to work characterized by disrupted circadian rhythms.

    Abstract Enterococcal bloodstream infections (EBSI) caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are associated with a significant rate of unfavorable outcomes. No definitive data have been reported about the association between delayed antibiotic therapy and mortality. In this prospective observational study in three large hospitals in Italy (from August 2016 to April 2021), all consecutive hospitalized patients with a confirmed diagnosis of hospital-acquired monomicrobial BSI caused by VRE—with no evidence of endocarditis—were analyzed. Cox regression analysis showed that risk factors independently associated with 30-day mortality were age (HR 2.98, CI95% 1.44−6.81, p = 0.002), chronic kidney disease (HR 5.21, CI95% 1.48−22.23, p = 0.001), oncologic disease (HR 2.81, CI95% 1.45−19.8, p = 0.005), and intensive care unit admission (HR 3.71, CI95% 2.23−7.99, p < 0.001). Conversely, early effective therapy was associated with survival (HR 0.32, CI95% 0.38−0.76, p < 0.001). The administration of early effective antibiotic therapy within 48 h from blood culture collection was associated with 30-day mortality rates lower than 33%. Time from blood culture collection to appropriate therapy was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality in patients with EBSI caused by VRE. Based on these data, clinicians should start effective antibiotic therapy as soon as possible, preferably within the first 48 h from blood culture collection. Treatment strategies allowing the early delivery of in vitro active antibiotics are urgently needed, especially in critically ill patients at risk of VRE bacteremia.

    Abstract Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) commonly infect the anogenital mucosa; most infections are transient, but a fraction of those caused by high-risk (HR) types persist and may lead to anogenital cancer. The epidemiology of HPV genotypes in anal infections in groups at different risk for anal cancer has not been well described in Italy. This retrospective study reports the results of HPV DNA testing and complete genotyping performed on anal swabs from 691 female and male patients attending proctology clinics in Rome during 2012-2021; one-third had repeated testing. Cumulative HPV positivity in 1212 anal swabs was approximately 60%, was not age related, and showed an increasing trend over the study period. HPV rates differed significantly by sex and HIV status: HIV-negative women had the lowest (43.6%) and HIV-positive men the highest (83.5%) HPV prevalence. HIV-positive men had more oncogenic HPV genotypes detected, more multiple infections, and the highest frequency of persistent infections. Two-thirds of all infections were vaccine-preventable. This study found that anal HPV infection rates are still elevated and even increasing in groups at low and high risk of developing anal cancer. Prevention programs need to be improved to reduce rates of anal infection in young women and men.

    Abstract Measles is a preventable disease still responsible for a number of outbreaks worldwide. Although most adults with measles recover uneventfully, measles-related complications may occur. However, as to whether every complicated case requires hospital management is still a point of debate. In this study we described the rate, clinical features and severity of measles complications in patients admitted to the ED of a tertiary-care teaching hospital during the outbreak that took place in 2017. Some insights into the impact on the health care system are reported as well. A retrospective cohort study was performed. Medical records of adults discharged from January to December 2017 with diagnosis of "measles" were collected and analyzed. Out of 58,579 of ED admissions, 162 measles cases were enrolled. Acute measles infection was laboratory confirmed in 71.6% and deemed as possible/probable in 24.0% of cases. Three percent of patients were immunocompromised while 1.2% of cases occurred in pregnant women. Of all complications reported (37%), hepatitis was the most frequent (29%) followed by pneumonia (10.4%), keratitis (3.8%), thrombocytopenia (3.8%) and otitis media (0.6%). No significant clinical and laboratory difference emerged between complicated and non-complicated cases besides antibiotic prescription (80.0% vs 66.3%; p=0.039). The course of the disease was mild, and no life-threatening measles-related complications or critical care support were reported. One out of three measles cases may experience at least one measles-related complication. However, the course of the disease seems to be rather benign in young adults, and the widespread use of the ED and hospitalization observed seem an inappropriate approach to the issue.
