“…Psychological therapy is an approach that is being used by adults with cancer to manage a spectrum of treatmentrelated symptoms and facilitate the process of psychological readjustment to the loss, change, and uncertainty characteristic of cancer survivorship (39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45). With advances in early diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of cancer, the number of people living with metastatic and advanced cancers has continued to grow worldwide.…”

All the concepts reported in this editorial are based on recent literature data obtained through a PubMed search, using both Medline and manual searches, with particular reference to articles, which could be relevant to clinical practice. This paper contributes to the existing literature on depression and stress and provides important information for the development of effective strategies to manage these conditions among patients with cancer.

“…The professional exposure of workers, the effects on their health and among these the effects of hematopoietic system were studied by our group (58)(59)(60). In our research, the MAPO index, evaluated for health workers, is not related with specific disease because the workers of the group at higher risk use probably procedures which are more correct concerning handling hospitalized patients (61)(62)(63)(64)(65), and conversely it can mean that there are less rigorous procedures and lower compliance for the category of workers at lower risk (66,67), however, the application utility of MAPO index is not invalidated in the field of risk assessment, or in preventive field (68)(69)(70). The MAPO index allows to estimate all the factors, that contribute to cause the risk (71,72).…”

SummaryBackground: the necessity to help hospitalized subjects with reduced or absent walking abilities exposes the workers to the risk of lesions, above all spinal lesions. It is essential therefore to reduce the risk through the introduction of correct procedures and devices as well as health surveillance and training. The Mapo index is a synthetic index to estimate the manual handling of patients assessment and it allows to give a quantitative valuation of risk level of health workers. Objectives: to assess the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders of the spinal in subjects exposed to different risk classes, correlating it with the MAPO index. Methods: we identified 53 male subjects more exposed and 26 male subjects less exposed and also 72 female subjects more exposed and 36 female subjects less exposed. These groups were made comparable as for age, working seniority, BMI and sport activities. The classification for spondyloarthropathies (SAP) indicated by the SIMLII Guidelines for the prevention of disorders and musculoskeletal diseases of the spine by manual handling of loads was carried out. The statistical analysis of data was based on the calculation of the mean, standard deviation, distribution, frequency, and range according to the single variables. The differences between averages were compared using Student T-test for continuous data and χ²-test for dichotomous data. Results: the results we obtained by comparing mean and standard deviation, gave p > 0.05. The comparison made through the χ²-test showed no significance because the p was always > 0.05. In the end, the analyzed data showed no statistically significant correlation between musculoskeletal diseases and the classification of workers in the relative risk class. Discussion and Conclusions: in our research the MAPO index did not turn out to be an exposure index correlated to a specific disease, because the workers at higher risk of band, compared to the workers at lower risk, use probably more correct procedures concerning the handling of hospitalized patients, conversely it can be supposed that there are less severe procedures and less compliance for the category of workers at lower risk.

“…2 Il mobbing può tipicamente svilupparsi nella relazione verticale dall'alto in basso (superiore verso subordinato, o più raramente subordinato verso superiore), oppure orizzontalmente (lateral-Introduzione I l mobbing è un fenomeno emerso all'attenzione dei ricercatori da circa 40 anni, osservando che i comportamenti aggressivi ed intimidatori messi in atto da gruppi di animali della stessa specie verso una comune fonte di pericolo, si verificano anche all'interno dei gruppi di bambini, e sul posto di lavoro. 1 Questa tipologia di atteggiamenti di tipo intimidatorio e minaccioso è messa in atto da un gruppo nei confronti di un singolo. A livello internazionale il termine mobbing trova numerosi "sinonimi", ma il più frequente è rappresentato sicura-mente), cioè tra colleghi di pari livello all'interno del gruppo di lavoro.…”
