Parasitic skin infections: neglected diseases or just challenging for diagnosis?
No full textPURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of the article is to review the most recent evidence concerning parasitic skin infections. RECENT FINDINGS: Parasitic skin infections are increasingly reported worldwide. Special at-risk categories are migrants, returning travelers, and immunocompromised individuals, who are at higher risk to present disseminated disease. The number of reported cases is growing even outside the endemic areas as a consequence of international travels, migration flows, increasing immunocompromised population, climate change, and natural disasters. SUMMARY: Skin parasitoses are neglected infections. Funding assigned to prevent and treat them is limited, even if they affect millions of persons worldwide. Diagnosis could be a challenge for clinicians of high-income countries who are facing an increasing number of such infections related to great epidemiological events

Managing the environmental sustainability of ports: noise pollution
No full textPorts represent today the main door of access to enter Europe as well as Middle-East territories. They are characterized by a high degree of complexity and variety of operations what makes them an important source of pollution. Air, water and noise have been identified as the most tackled natural components. Noise pollution analysis is complicated due to the presence of different types of sound sources. To assess and manage the environmental port noise monitoring noise plan and the strategic noise map are considered the most suitable instruments of acoustic planning to identify the critical zones and to establish the actions
