Although the identified literature was quantitatively poor, it is clear that the school nurse is central to syndromic surveillance, educational role, decision making, clinical management, collaboration with the team of experts and management of communication.

Nurses are at greater risk of violence during their working hours. About 31% of all aggressions towards nurses occur in hospital or in care settings. Lusutrombopag The problem of aggressions on healthcare workers is difficult to classify, as the number of aggressions is often underestimated. For this reason, the aim of this study is to analyze physical, verbal and sexual aggressions on nursing staff and identify their predictors.

A cross sectional study was performed. A sample of convenience was recruited consisting of nurses practicing in the Italian territory. The research team recruited subjects from various hospital, outpatient or territorial settings. The criteria for participation in the study were (1) being registered nurses; (2) not being in an idle state (e.g. retirement). Multiple linear regression was used to identify the predictive variables of physical, verbal and sexual aggression.

The sample consisting of 518 nurses had an average age of 37.5 years.The sample consisted prevalently of female subjects, with medium-high educational attendance. About 90% of the sample claims to have suffered physical, verbal and / or sexual aggressions during their working hours. People with a lower educational level, belonging to the southern regions are more at risk of physical and verbal aggression, while the female gender is a predictor of sexual assaults.

The results of this study highlight how physical, verbal and sexual violence in nursing staff are non-isolated but highly frequent issues, being part of the daily working life of many health professionals.

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an important therapy for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet uptake remains low. Intervention strategies which recapitulate the benefits of PR are, therefore, needed and digital, home-based therapies present opportunity in this space. Digital therapies also potentially offer an opportunity to standardize PR in clinical trials for new COPD therapies.

We aimed to create a digital application (app), Respercise
, consisting of up to 4 strengthening exercises in conjunction with Therbands™ and a daily physical activity program with individualized step goals, and to test its feasibility in a clinical trial. App usability was surveyed qualitatively before development iterations and deployment in a 13-week interventional clinical trial. All participants who completed the study were invited for an exit interview and performed the 5-repetition sit-to-stand test amongst other measures.

Feedback from clinical trial participants was positive; 97% of respondents liked the app. A total of 88% of participants reported that it was easy to fit the exercises into their daily routine, and there was over 90% adherence for entering daily step counts. Notably, on day 90 both females and males using Respercise alone demonstrated a 2.22- and 2.27-seconds improvement in time for 5-repetition sit-to-stand tests respectively, above the 1.7 second threshold that is considered clinically meaningful in COPD.

Respercise can be successfully deployed in clinical trials, offering the opportunity for standardization of exercise in clinical trials and, with further development, could have wider reach as a home-based intervention for individuals with COPD.

Comorbid disease is a risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. However, initial rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in case series were low and severity of COVID-19 in COPD patients was variable.

We performed a retrospective study of patients admitted with COVID-19 and evaluated outcomes in those with and without COPD and/or emphysema. Patients were identified as having COPD if they had a diagnosis in the medical record and a history of airflow-obstruction on spirometry, or a history of tobacco use and prescribed long-acting bronchodilator(s). Computed tomography scans were evaluated by radiologists. Propensity matching was performed for age, body mass index (BMI), and serologic data correlated with severity of COVID-19 disease (D-dimer, C-reactive protein, ferritin, fibrinogen, absolute lymphocyte count, lymphocyte percentage, and lactate dehydrogenase).

Of 577 patients admitted with COVID-19, 103 had a diagnosis of COPD and/or emphysema. The COPD/emphysema cohort was older (67 versus 58,
<0.0001) than the other cohort and had a lower BMI. Among unmatched cohorts those with COPD/emphysema had higher rates of intensive care unit (ICU) admission (35% versus 24.9%,
=0.036) and maximal respiratory support requirements, with more frequent invasive mechanical ventilation (21.4% versus 11.8%), but no significant difference in mortality. After propensity-matching there was no difference in ICU admission, maximal respiratory support requirements, or mortality. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses yielded similar results.

Our propensity-matched retrospective cohort study suggests that patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who have COPD and/or emphysema may not have worse outcomes than those without these comorbid conditions.
