Abstract
Abstract In Italy, at the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the main organizational model of hospital care was represented by the physical or functional division of hospitals and wards into COVID and non-COVID areas, in order to separate SARS-CoV-2-infected patients from the others. Now that the emergency phase has reached its long-awaited end, it is necessary to develop a new hospital care paradigm that may deal with SARS-CoV-2-positive patients discriminating between those who are hospitalized because of COVID-19 and those who are diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection immediately before or after the first access to healthcare facilities.

Abstract
We examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the credit risk of companies around the world. We find that increased infection rates affect firms more adversely as reflected by the wider increase in their credit default swap (CDS) spreads if they are larger, more leveraged, closer to default, have worse governance and more limited stakeholder engagement, and operate in more highly exposed industries. We observe that country-level determinants such as GDP, political stability, foreign direct investment, and commitment to crisis management (income support, health and lockdown policies) also affect the sensitivity of CDS spreads to COVID-19 infection rates. A negative amplification effect exists for firms with high default probability in countries with fiscal constraints. A direct comparison between global CDS and stock markets reveals that the CDS market prices in a distinct set of corporate traits and government policies in pandemic times.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Healthcare workers on duty at the hospital are at high risk of COVID-19 infection. However, despite the introduction of risk-lowering practices in the hospital setting, there have been many cases of SARS-COV-2 infection among Health Care Workers. Fast and efficient contact tracing and Sars-CoV-2 PCR-based testing of the close contacts of Health Care Workers with confirmed infections are essential steps to limit nosocomial outbreaks. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at Bari Policlinico General University-Hospital (Apulia, Italy) and describes the management of a cluster of SARS-COV-2 infections in three Operative Units. The contact tracing activities and the measures implemented to control the outbreak are described. RESULTS Among the 186 Health Care Workers active in the cluster setting, there were 9 (4.8%) confirmed cases, including the index case. Due to the outbreak, three Operative Units were closed to limit virus circulation. Health Care Workers with confirmed infections tested negative after a mean of 28.0±6.6 days (range: 13-37) and none required hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS Protection of the health of Health Care Workers during the COVID-19 pandemic should be a public health priority. However, despite recent recommendations and the implementation of protective measures, SARS-COV-2 infections of Health Care Workers remain at a high rate, indicative of the continued high risk of cluster onset in the nosocomial setting.

Abstract
In Italy there are significant differences in life expectancy, morbidity and disability between different social groups: the wealthiest and educated people are better off, get sick less and live longer. The poorer Italian Regions show less favourable health indicators. However, Italy aims to reduce health inequalities (HI) among the priorities of its agenda. The 2014-2018 National Prevention Plan (NPP) had already instructed the Regions to include the fight against HI in the guiding principles of the regional prevention plans (RPP). The new NPP 2020-2025 confirms the need to strengthen the fight against HI and the reduction of the main social and geographical inequalities that are observed in our country represents a priority to all the objectives of the NPP, which requires the disclosure of scientific data, validated methods and tools to guarantee equity in the action. In this scenario, there is a project coordinated by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità with the contribution of DORS, the Documentation Centre for Health Promotion of Piedmont Region. The main objective of this project is to support the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Regions in order to consolidate the introduction of the equity lenses approach in the new NPP, in particular the project aims at: promoting a health equity-oriented approach in priority and target setting, choice of a strategy, and in the design of the monitoring and evaluation system;investing in a capacity building process for regional officers responsible of the elaboration and implementation of the RPP in each Italian region.
20 Italian Regions participate to this two-year project (2019-2020). Two face-to-face training modules and the sharing of a web community of practice have been planned. The project involves developing support tools that provide equity-oriented practices. The main expected result is the increase of the equity-oriented actions and their dissemination across the country.

Abstract
Abstract
The 2017 Italian Review on health inequalities identified two main needs with regards to Italian health equity monitoring. (1) The need to collect a social covariate at individual level in each health information system at local, regional and national level. Such a social covariate is fundamental for monitoring if any avoidable inequality in access, use, quality of care and health outcome is occurring at local, regional, national level. (2) The need to re-engineer and frame the different health equity monitoring surveys already established into an explicit health inequalities monitoring strategy (HIMS). Both challenges are accounted for by Italy in the Joint Action Health Equity Europe workplan.
As for the social covariate, a pilot project is conducted. Data from 2011 census (education and area deprivation) and the national identification code used to link individual data on health and services utilization in four representative regions is linked. This will allow monitoring the social variation in selected performance indicators by region, across regions and through time.
As for HIMS, previous research projects have designed and successfully piloted different models of low-cost data linkage for already established longitudinal studies. Now these pilot results will evolve into a national HIMS. As a first step, a special project of consensus building will be implemented among institutional partners responsible for the following national longitudinal studies based on record linkage: a) Work Histories Italian Panel followed up prospectively for health outcomes; b) Italian Longitudinal Study: 2000, 2015, 2013 Health Interview Surveys followed up prospectively for health outcomes; c) differential mortality 2011-2017 in the 2011 censused Italian population; d) the network of the metropolitan and regional census based longitudinal studies followed up prospectively for mortality disease registries and health care utilization. Experiences gained will be shared and discussed.

Abstract
Periodontitis represents a major problem for patients, since it is not possible to eliminate the bacteria that are responsible for this pathology with a pharmacological treatment. The present study included forty-four patients with periodontitis, who had undergone disinfection via photodynamic therapy (PDT) using a laser source having a 635 nm wavelength associated with a photoactivable substance (methylene blue). Clinical assessment of plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), calculus index (CI), gingival recession (REC) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at base line, 1 month (4 weeks) after treatment and again 3 months (12 weeks) after treatment, while site radiography (RX) and microbiological test (MT) were recorded at base line and 3 months (12 weeks) after treatment. The outcomes show a good efficacy of the PDT in the elimination of the periodontal pathogenic microflora and in the improvement of the clinical parameters considered: from the base line to the final check after 12 weeks it has been observed a reduction in REC of about 16.9%, a reduction of CAL of about 17.85%, a reduction of the BoP of about 93.3%, a reduction of the PD of about 17%, a reduction of the CI of about 66.3%, a reduction of PI of about 44%, and microbiologically a reduction of the total amount of bacteria with proven parodontopathic properties (red complex bacteria) of about 58.74%. Within the limits of the present study, PDT can be reasonably considered as a good carrier that leads to significant improvements in the parameters (clinical and microbiological) considered.

Abstract
To systematically review the literature regarding the antimicrobial effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on multi-bacterial species in periodontitis and peri-implantitis disease. The addressed focused question was: "Does PDT show antimicrobial efficacy against multi-bacterial species colonization in periodontal pockets and on the surface of dental implants?" Electronic databases including MEDLINE and EMBASE up to and including December 2018 were searched. Of the ninety studied analyzed, seven were included, four for the study of PDT in peri-implantitis disease and three for periodontal disease. All studies reported the multibacterial species outcomes after the application of antimicrobial PDT. All studies showed a significant reduction in the bacterial load, both in studies based on periodontal and peri-implantary disease, with an average reduction of the total amount of bacterial load of 99.3%. Moreover, the change in clinical parameters is equally important, with an average reduction of PPD of 1.01 mm (from 4.92 to 3.49 ± SD with a percentage reduction of 29%); of BoP of 50%; of RCAL of 1.19 mm (from 9.93 to 8.74, with an average percentage reduction of 12%); of PI of 0.3 (from 1 to 0.7 with a percentage reduction of 30%) and of GI of 1.2 (from 1.8 to 0.6 with a percentage reduction of 66.6%). This review demonstrated significant reduction in the bacterial load in periodontal pocket and dental implant surface with the use of PDT. The results of this review should be considered preliminary and further studies with standardized laser parameters are needed to obtain strong conclusions.

Abstract
ICES was founded in 1992 to study the health care system and promote effective, efficient and equitable health care. Over 27 years later, the goal remains largely unchanged, though the institute has grown in size and impact. Created as an independent not-for-profit research institute and given what was, at the time, unprecedented access to administrative health data records for the population of Ontario, ICES’ initial focus was to better understand the delivery of hospital services and translate its findings into better health care and policy. From modest beginnings with a handful of researchers located in a few hospital offices, ICES has grown to encompass a community of almost 500 scientists and staff across a network of seven physical sites in Ontario. The original focus on hospital-based services has expanded significantly and now includes research and analysis of community-based health services, health policy, Indigenous health, social determinants of health, and data science.

Abstract
The most common benign salivary tumour is a pleomorphic adenoma. Transformation to malignancy, carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (cxpa), occurs in 6% of cases. Management focuses on surgical resection and radiotherapy; however, rare cases require systemic management. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with a cxpa of the left parotid gland who required systemic therapy for locally recurrent disease. Treatment options were guided by the literature concerning malignant salivary gland tumour and by whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of the tumour. The patient received multiple systemic agents during the course of her disease, with cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-cisplatin providing the best control (partial response). Genomeand transcriptome-directed therapy, including sorafenib and vismodegib, were utilized with limited clinical benefit. Malignant transformation in cxpa is a complex process, and therapy directed at a single tumour pathway might not be sufficient to control disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal carcinomas are genomically complex cancers that are lethal in the metastatic setting. Whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing allow for the simultaneous characterization of multiple oncogenic pathways. METHODS We report 3 cases of metastatic gastrointestinal carcinoma in patients enrolled in the Personalized Onco-Genomics program at the BC Cancer Agency. Real-time genomic profiling was combined with clinical expertise to diagnose a carcinoma of unknown primary, to explore treatment response to bevacizumab in a colorectal cancer, and to characterize an appendiceal adenocarcinoma. RESULTS In the first case, genomic profiling revealed an IDH1 somatic mutation, supporting the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma in a malignancy of unknown origin, and further guided therapy by identifying epidermal growth factor receptor amplification. In the second case, a BRAF V600E mutation and wild-type KRAS profile justified the use of targeted therapies to treat a colonic adenocarcinoma. The third case was an appendiceal adenocarcinoma defined by a p53 inactivation; Ras/raf/mek, Akt/mtor, Wnt, and notch pathway activation; and overexpression of ret, erbb2 (her2), erbb3, met, and cell cycle regulators. SUMMARY We show that whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing can be achieved within clinically effective timelines, yielding clinically useful and actionable information.

Abstract
1 The pulmonary toxic events induced by acute nitrogen dioxide (NO)2 exposure were studied in the rat to develop an inhalation model to investigate therapeutic measures. 2 A good correlation was observed between the lung weights and severity of the atypical pneumonitis. The pulmonary effects observed, became more pronounced with increasing NO 2 concentrations (0, 25, 75, 125, 175 or 200 ppm, 1 ppm NO2=1.88 mg m-3 NO2) and exposure times (5, 10, 20 or 30 min). 3 An adequate NO 2 concentration is 175 ppm, because it can induce a severe lung injury without mortality. This makes it possible to investigate suitable therapeutic interventions for several days. 4 Following acute inhalatory NO2 intoxication, transformation of NO2 to nitrate is presumably more notable than transformation to nitrite. 5 The transformation of NO2 to nitrate in lung tissue causes a slight increase in the serum nitrite concentration, which does not induce measurable formation of methaemoglobin. 6 Presumably, methaemoglobin does not contribute to the toxicity of NO2 intoxication.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Information on the relationship between levels of particulate matter (PM) smaller than 2.5 μm and mortality rates in Europe is relatively sparse because of limited availability of PM2.5 measurement data. Even less information is available on the health effects attributable to PM2.5-10, especially for North-West Europe. OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between various PM size fractions and daily mortality rates. METHODS Daily concentrations of PM from the Dutch National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Network as well as all cause and cause-specific mortality rates in The Netherlands were obtained for the period 2008-2009. Poisson regression analysis using generalized additive models was used, with adjustment for potential confounding including long-term and seasonal trends, influenza incidence, meteorological variables, day of the week, and holidays. Different measures of PM (PM2.5, PM10 and PM2.5-10) were analysed. RESULTS PM10 and PM2.5 levels were statistically significantly (p<0.05) associated with all cause and cause-specific deaths. For example, a 10 μg/m(3) increase in previous day PM was associated with 0.8% (95% CI 0.3-1.2) excess risk in all cause mortality for PM2.5 and a 0.6% (CI 0.2-1.0) excess risk for PM10. No appreciable associations were observed for PM2.5-10. Effects of PM10, and PM2.5 were insensitive to adjustment for PM2.5-10, and vice-versa. PM10 and PM2.5 were too highly correlated to disentangle their independent effects. CONCLUSIONS PM10 and PM2.5 both were significantly associated with all cause and cause-specific mortality. We were unable to demonstrate significant effects for PM2.5-10, possibly due to the lower temporal variability and the higher exposure misclassification in PM2.5-10 compared to PM10 or PM2.5. The lack of effects of PM2.5-10 in our study should therefore not be interpreted as an indication that PM2.5-10 can be considered harmless.

Abstract
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is the only cellular protein that contains the unusual amino acid hypusine [N(ε)-(4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)lysine]. The role of hypusine formation in the eIF5A protein in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis is addressed in the present review. Moreover, vertebrates carry two genes that encode two eIF5A isoforms, eIF5A-1 and eIF5A-2, which, in humans, are 84% identical. However, the biological functions of these two isoforms may be significantly different. In fact, eIF5A-1 is demonstrable in most cells of different histogenesis, whereas eIF5A-2 protein is detectable only in certain human cancer cells or tissues, suggesting its role as a potential oncogene. In this review we focus our attention on the involvement of eIF5A-1 in the triggering of an apoptotic program and in the regulation of cell proliferation. In addition, the potential oncogenic role and prognostic significance of eIF5A-2 in the prediction of the survival of cancer patients is described. eIF5A-1 and/or the eIF5A-2 isoform may serve as a new molecular diagnostic or prognostic marker or as a molecular target for anti-cancer therapy.
