Do not overlook the risk of patient colonization by multi-resistant microorganisms
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are increasingly sustained by microorganisms resistant to several antibiotics, particularly methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- producing Enterobacteria (ESBLs). In the patient undergoing...Do not perform test investigating genes associated with food metabolism and food intolerances (genetic testing for nutrition) to define a dietary path
Many tests used for nutritional purposes are not to be considered informative as they consider only a subset of the genetic component associated with multifactorial traits, such as food intolerances and individual metabolic characteristics. The genetic tests currently...Do not perform prenatal testing that can be performed on circulating fetal free fetal DNA (cfDNA) by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) without first informing women about the limitations and accuracy of the different prenatal investigations that can be performed
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is one of the most popular approaches in prenatal diagnosis today and its use is constantly increasing. Considering that the insertion of the technique on free circulating fetal DNA (cfDNA) in clinical practice is relatively...Do not include Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) in the tests required for Medically Assisted Reproduction (MAP)
In the context of Medically Assisted Reproduction (MAP), especially in the absence of a positive family or personal history for the condition, testing for the G6PD enzyme should not be recommended. In the literature, in fact, there is no evidence to confirm that this...The campaign DOING MORE DOES NOT MEAN DOING BETTER – CHOOSING WISELY ITALY is promoted by Italy’s Slow Medicine
