This review aimed to compare the different responses of countries to the pandemic, their National Health Systems, and their impact on citizens' health. This work aimed to create a narrative plot that connects different discussion points and suggests organizational solutions and strategic choices in the face of the pandemic. In particular, this work focused on public health organizations, specifically the European Union and vaccination politics. It is also based on a case report series (about the United States, Germany, Vietnam, New Zealand, Cuba, and Italy), where each country has responded differently to the pandemic in terms of political decisions such as vaccination type, information to citizens, dealings with independent experts, and other specific country factors...

OBJECTIVE: Past three years since the beginning of the outbreak, we have obtained satisfactory data on COVID-19. However, data on risk factors of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy (CAC) are extremely limited. Prediction of CAC might be a game changer since it is related to poor prognosis. Seeking independent risk factors for CAC was the main aim of the study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 510 hospitalized COVID-19 patients were retrospectively screened. Forty-eight of them were excluded due to irrelevant D-dimer or ferritin elevation...

OBJECTIVE: Many countries, including the USA, are currently confronting a triple epidemic in children as COVID-19 cases increase and new strains emerge which urge COVID-19 vaccination for children. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for the CDC unanimously approved the inclusion of the COVID-19 vaccine (C19V) in the recommended immunizations. As healthcare professionals (HCPs) and parents are significant players in changing the trend of the triple epidemic by giving the C19V, the present study was done to determine awareness and perception of HCPs and parents on the tripledemic and the need for inclusion of C19V in vaccination schedules for children...

Uterine cervical and endometrial cancers are two major gynecological malignancies, affecting women's health worldwide. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is appropriate for evaluating malignant disease, thanks to the excellent soft tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging ability. Recently, functional MR techniques, namely diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE), have proved to be a precious support not only in cancer diagnosis but also in disease staging, in the therapy planning, in monitoring response to treatment and during long-term recurrence surveillance...
