    No full text
    Giant latero-cervical neoplasias usually originate in the parotid gland, as slow-growing adenomas, in subjects who take little care of their personal health. Giant adenomas of submandibular gland are very rare. These neoplasias involve prevalently male sex (male/female ratio: 2/1) and usually occur between 20 and 40 years of age. Signs of malignant transformation may be observed in the adenomatous epithelial component in a percentage ranging from 1% to 10% of cases. The case is reported of a giant malignant latero-cervical neoplasia originating from a pleomorph adenoma of the submandibular gland. The diagnostic work-up and treatment protocol are described

    HSE Management Standards and burnout dimensions among rehabilitation professionals

    Background The Health & Safety Executive Indicator Tool (HSE-IT) is a standard-based questionnaire commonly used to assess work-related stress in organizations. Although the HSE-IT validity has been well documented and significant relationships have been observed between its scales and several work-related outcomes, to date there is no evidence concerning the relationships between the HSE-IT and burnout among healthcare workers.Aims To investigate the relationships between the HSE-IT subscales and burnout dimensions as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) in a sample of Italian rehabilitation professionals employed in healthcare institutions.Methods An anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to a sample of Italian rehabilitation professionals including physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychiatric rehabilitation technicians and developmental psychomotor therapists. Associations between the HSE-IT and the MBI were analysed with multiple linear regression models.Results A total of 432 rehabilitation professionals completed the questionnaire and 14% of them showed high levels of burnout risk. Significant differences in the HSE-IT scores were found between workers at high risk of burnout and workers at low risk of burnout. Hierarchical regressions showed an association between the HSE-IT scales and the MBI factors: emotional exhaustion was associated with 'demands' and 'role', and both depersonalization and personal accomplishment were associated with 'control' and 'role'.Conclusions This preliminary study showed the HSE-IT subscales are sensitive to burnout risk as measured by the MBI. The association found between the HSE-IT 'demands', 'role' and 'control' subscales and the MBI dimensions is significant but small. These findings might inform targeted burnout prevention
