Abstract

Restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic might have changed recreational habits. In this study, the results of toxicological tests for alcohol and drugs in blood were compared among drivers stopped at roadside checks in the periods before (1 January 2018 to 8 March 2020) and after the lockdown measures (9 March 2020 to 31 December 2021). A total of 123 (20.7%) subjects had a blood alcohol level above the legal limit for driving of 0.5 g/L, 21 (3.9%) subjects tested positive for cocaine, and 29 (5.4%) subjects positive for cannabis. In the COVID-19 period, the mean blood alcohol level was significantly higher than in the previous period. Cannabis use, which was more frequent among younger subjects, was statistically associated with cocaine use. There has also been a quantitative increase in alcohol levels in the population with values above the legal limits, indicative of greater use of alcohol in the population predisposed to its intake.

Abstract

Establishing the manner of death is one of the most challenging tasks for forensic pathologists. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman found dead in the early morning on a flyover. The body was sitting on the ground with the back leaning against a wall. The neck was encircled by a white phone charger cable knotted to the staircase's handrail. The victim had argued with her boyfriend and tried to jump out of his car while coming home from a wedding party the night before. After that, she left home alone with her phone charger in her hand. Due to self-harm behaviors, the first hypothesis was suicide by hanging. However, the ligature crossed immediately beneath the thyroid cartilage and encircled the neck twice horizontally; the two ends of the cable overlapped, forming a cross-over point in the front-right of the neck. Then, the ligature passed obliquely through the nape, gradually disappearing, forming a gap in the mark. The mark was sharply defined, stiff, yellow, and parchment-like. The investigators performed a three-dimensional scene reconstruction using the Trimble X7 Laser Scanner and the PC-Crash Multibody System. Even though the geometry of the ligature mark in the present case raised doubts about the manner of death, the three-dimensional reconstruction confirmed that the hanging was feasible without any external intervention.

19. Strengths and weaknesses of the incident reporting system: An Italian experience

Abstract

One of the cornerstones for enhancing the patient safety culture is the incident reporting system (IRS). It is a process for detecting, reporting, collecting, and summarizing adverse events (AEs) and near-misses in healthcare, and so it represents a vital tool for clinical risk management. We analyzed the 5-year experience of a third-level hospital's IRSs, showing its trends and highlighting its main strengths and weaknesses. Patients’ falls and physical or verbal aggression toward the providers or between patients are the most reported events. Underreporting is the main limitation of the system, especially among nurses. Visible actions, forceful analysis of the reports, operators’ education, no-blame culture promotion, and organizational adjustments may improve operators’ adherence to IRS. Providers do not willingly inform patients’ relatives about fatal incidents. Despite that, the IRS is far from its potential, and the number of data collected has increased.

Abstract

The figure of the junior doctor is defined in different ways depending on age, educational path, and contract terms related to the conditions of the work contract. The issues related to this particular professional figure should be considered one of the greatest tests to which Health Systems have to respond. In this paper, these aspects are discussed together with practical advice that could be tailored to individual working situations in order to adequately address these issues. Cornerstones and common practices of clinical risk management which may be successfully applied in these contexts are also discussed. The application of Risk Management tools can both provide proactive solutions to reduce the risk of litigation, and create an environment based on trust and one in which junior doctors feel encouraged to signal adverse events and to learn from them. This could result in overall growth in the system, also from a cultural perspective, and better healthcare both for staff and patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

It is our view that the Russian tactic to destroy telecommunications and hinder access to healthcare for civilians, should be considered a crime against humanity. Dear Editor: In the Ukrainian conflict, healthcare for civilians has become a relative concept though the international community considered it a fundamental right that even the invaders should guarantee.
