Quick Glance: Hospitalization for Influenza Associated with Higher Risk of Neurological Disorders
- An analysis of 77,300 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to 77,300 hospitalized with influenza revealed that those with influenza had a greater risk of subsequent neurologic disorders such as migraine, stroke, or epilepsy.
- Participants hospitalized with COVID-19 were significantly less likely in the following year to require medical care for migraine, epilepsy, neuropathy, movement disorders, stroke, and dementia compared to influenza patients.
- After considering age, sex, and other health conditions, individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 had a lower risk of needing medical care for migraine, epilepsy, and neuropathy than those with influenza.
- "The results were surprising as they indicate that hospitalization due to COVID does not lead to increased care for common neurologic conditions compared to hospitalization due to influenza," stated lead researcher Brian C. Callaghan, MD, from the University of Michigan.

Quick Glance: Neurological Disorders Dominate Global Disease Burden
- Neurological diseases are the leading cause of health loss and disabilities worldwide, affecting nearly half of the global population.

- The data showed striking differences in the burden of neurological conditions between world regions and income levels, with over 80% of health losses occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
- The analysis emphasizes the importance of prevention by identifying and eliminating known risk factors to reduce the global burden of neurological disorders and enable targeted interventions.
Pandemic Lockdowns Had Varied Effects on Wildlife: A new study of camera-trap images complicates the idea that all wildlife thrived during the Covid lockdowns.

Quick Glance: Impacts of Pandemic Lockdowns on Wildlife
- A recent examination of camera-trap images raises doubts about the assumption that all animals thrived during the Covid lockdowns.
- While people disappeared from some areas during the lockdowns, they flocked to other places like parks that remained open when little else was available.
- Wild mammals exhibited highly varied responses to changes in human behavior, influenced by the species of the animal and its habitat.
- The study deepens and complicates the understanding of the so-called 'anthropause' and underscores the multifaceted ways in which humans influence the lives of wild animals.

reuters.com/markets/europe/poverty-italy-hits-new-high-despite-economic-recovery-2024-03-25/
Quick Glance: Poverty in Italy reaches new high despite economic recovery
- Poverty in Italy reached a new high in 2023 despite an economic rebound since the easing of COVID-related restrictions. According to data from the national statistics bureau ISTAT, the number of people living in 'absolute poverty' - unable to purchase essential goods and services - rose to 5.75 million, or 9.8% of the population.
- While Italy's economy has recovered more strongly from a 2020-21 COVID-induced recession compared to neighbors like Germany and France, the rebound has done little to help the country's poorest. The percentage of those in absolute poverty was 9.1% in 2020 and 9.0% in 2021, during the peak of the pandemic when government support measures partly offset the recession's impact on families.
- Except for a decrease in 2019, poverty has steadily risen from 6.9% in 2014 when ISTAT's data series began. Last year, Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government started phasing out a poverty relief subsidy called 'citizens' income' introduced in 2019.
- Poverty levels in 2023 increased in the north and centre compared to the previous year while decreasing in the south according to ISTAT data. Despite the economic recovery, poverty alleviation remains a challenge in Italy, especially in the poorer southern regions of the country.
