Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the University of Pavia students about physical activity (PA) changes before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ) survey was employed to evaluate the PA in three periods: the pre-pandemic period, during national stay-at-home order (March 9th-May 4th 2020), current PA. Exercise intensity for each period was defined using the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (Met) as unit of measurement. The questionnaire was administered online to university students from June 9th to July 4th 2021, structured in four sections, also collecting demographic data. Results: 55,6% of the study population reported a significant decrease in PA during lockdown. The number of active/very active subjects dropped from 72.2% in pre-pandemic period to 29.6% during containment measures. 50% reported a substantial increase in moving out of the lockdown. Stay-at-home order was as-sociated with an increase in sedentary lifestyle (68.5%), which sharply decreased moving out from lockdown (two-third of study population). Average time in minutes spent sitting was 612 before pandemic, 844 during the pandemic and 670 after social restrictions. Conclusions: Lockdown had a negative impact on PA among the university students leading to an increase in sedentary behaviours. Following the gradual relaxation of the restrictive measures, situation has improved, without however returning to pre-pandemic level. It is of fundamental importance to study new strategies to promote healthy lifestyles while coping with the on-going pandemic. (www.actabiomedica.it).

Abstract

ClassyFarm is an integrated system aiming at the categorization of the farms according to a risk assessment methodology (RA). It is an Italian innovation that allows to facilitate and improve the collaboration and the dialogue between the breeders and the competent authority, in order to raise the level of safety and quality of food of animal origin. ClassyFarm collects, gather and process data, referred to the following evaluation areas: biosecurity, animal welfare, health and production parameters, animal nutrition, antimicrobial usage, injuries detected at slaughterhouse. ClassyFarm can be applied to several livestock species, included buffalo farms. On the request of the Italian Ministry of Health, CreNbuf in collaboration with CReNBa, have develop a checklist (CL) for the animal welfare assessment in buffalo species, based on RA and included in the ClassyFarm system. The multiple-choice CL consists of 80 Items. Each Item is scored according to 3 choice categories: “insufficient”, “acceptable” and “excellent”. The assessment system includes non-animal based (N-ABMs) and animal-based measures (ABMs). N-ABMs are divided into 2 macro-areas: Area A (28 Items) “Management factors”; Area B (30 Items) “Housing factors”. ABMs are assessed in Area C (14 Items). The CL has been tested in 341 farms, with an average of 353 head (min10, max 2240). The average overall welfare value was 61.27% (on a scale of 0 to 100%). The values of the specific areas were: Area A 60.20%; Area B 41.34%; Area C 71.55%. At least one potential legislative non-compliance was recorded in 39.8% of the farms. These CL represent a functional and smart instrument to assign an animal welfare index to each farm, and to provide to veterinarians and breeders a tool for improving farm management and housing conditions by using the data collected in each Area, while respecting farm sustainability, giving answers to consumers and add value to farmers’ correct activities. The Italian Ministry of Health is promoting this system, unique in its kind, also in the European and international context, raising a wide and strong interest.

Abstract

The incidence of milk leakage (ML) after dry-off (DO) and related risk factors was studied in 1,175 dairy cows from 41 commercial herds in 8 European countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. Milk leakage was assessed twice for 30 s each during 3 visits at 20 to 24 h, 30 to 34 h, and 48 to 52 h after DO. Information related to dry-cow management and udder health was collected at herd and cow level, including individual somatic cell count (ISCC) from test-day controls and occurrence of clinical mastitis cases from DO until 30 d in lactation. Mixed-effect logistic regression analyses were used to identify possible risk factors for ML and to study the association between ML and new intramammary infections. Intramammary infections were defined as clinical mastitis cases during the dry period and in the first 30 d in lactation or a rise in ISCC from before to after the dry period (threshold: 200,000 cells/mL) or both. Milk leakage was observed in 24.5% of the cows between 20 and 52 h after DO, where the herd incidence varied between 0.0 and 77.8%. The reduction in number of milkings in the weeks before DO had statistically significant effect on the ML incidence. When the milking frequency was reduced from 3 times/d to 2 or maintained at twice a day, cows had 11 (95% CI = 3.43–35.46) or 9 (95% CI = 1.85–48.22) times higher odds of leaking milk, respectively, compared with cows where the milking frequency was reduced from twice to once a day. Also, the milk production 24 h before DO was associated with ML incidence. Hence, cows with a milk production between 13 and 21 L or above 21 L had 2.3 (95% CI = 1.48–3.53) and 3.1 (95% CI = 1.79–5.3) times higher odds of leaking milk, respectively, compared with cows with a milk production below 13 L. A higher ML incidence was present in the group of cows with an average ISCC in the last 3 mo before DO ≥200,000 cells/mL (odds ratio = 1.7; 95% CI = 1.13–2.41) compared with cows wi

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus strains (n=1559) isolated from North Italian dairy herds were genotyped by RS-PCR. A selection of these strains (84 from bulk tank milk and 91 from individual cow milk) was also analyzed for the presence of adlb gene, which is considered a possible marker of contagiousness. The adlb gene amplification was included in a multiplex PCR also targeting nuc and mecA genes. RS-PCR identified 83 different genotypes combined into 48 genotypic clusters, among which genotype B with his variants (GTB) was the most prevalent (n=491). A clonal diffusion of a single genotype was shown in most farms (373/458), especially when GTB was involved. Most of Staph. aureus belonging to GTB carried the adlb gene (38/43), as well as very few strains belonging to a different genotype. When investigated, all of them were associated with high prevalence in the herds, confirming that RS-PCR and adlb PCR could be useful tools in predicting the clinical properties of isolates.

Abstract

Lo scopo di questo lavoro è stato quello di approfondire l'epidemiologia di Streptococcus agalactiae in aziende con recenti positività, in particolare a riguardo: delle condizioni d'allevamento, della prevalenza di bovine infette, della suscettibilità agli antibiotici e delle caratteristiche genotipiche dei ceppi. I risultati hanno dimostrato la presenza del patogeno in 13 allevamenti su 15 (1794 campioni di latte individuale), con prevalenza di bovine infette molto variabile (10,4-54,7%). Le condizioni d'allevamento (check-list) correlate con la prevalenza d'infezione sono risultate significative per: la preparazione igienica della mammella, l'esecuzione del post-dipping, la routine di mungitura, le procedure di lavaggio e disinfezione dell'impianto/tank, la somministrazione di latte infetto ai vitelli, l'igiene delle mammelle e la conta sia delle cellule somatiche che delle UFC/mL di S. agalactiae nel latte di massa. I risultati della minima concentrazione inibente su un ceppo per stalla (n. 13), hanno evidenziato resistenze alla Tetraciclina (n. 5), Eritromicina (n. 1) e Pirlimycina (n. 1); tutti i ceppi sono risultati sensibili ai ?-lattamici. La RAPD-PCR su almeno 4 ceppi per stalla, ha evidenziato una certa variabilità genetica (6 profili diversi su 55 ceppi), ed in 11 stalle la circolazione dei ceppi ha mostrato un profilo clonale, mentre in 2 stalle si sono evidenziati ceppi differenti. 18 ceppi rappresentativi di tutte le stalle sono risultati tutti positivi per il gene specie specifico e per i fattori di virulenza, neuC e cpsL (PCR-RT). I nostri risultati confermano il carattere contagioso di questa infezione e sottolineano la necessità di un controllo costante delle corrette procedure-igiene di mungitura, del management degli animali e del latte di massa.

However, no systematic nationwide studies have been carried out concerning the correlation between vaginal pH, life style and different physiopathological conditions in women of different ages. Methods. SOPHY (Study on pH and Hygiene) collected data concerning the lifestyle, vaginal pH, and the presence of symptoms, stratified into different subgroups (prepuberal, fertile, pregnancy, postpartum, premenopause and menopause) in a representative sample of the Italian gynecological population (264 gynaecologists for a total of 2 641 women) with the aid of a specific Internet site for data entry. Results. A more acid vaginal pH was related to a better satisfactory sexual activity and to more healthy genital condition. A positive relationship was detected between education level and good perception of sexuality. Certain clothing habits and a higher frequency of candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis was shown. Conclusion. SOPHY revealed some interesting correlations between clothing and the frequency of candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis, between vaginal pH and satisfactory sexual activity, and between education and sexuality. SOPHY had a considerable educational impact, leading the physicians and women to consider vaginal pH as an important aspect of everyday life.
