Covid hospitalizations down 26% in the last week. The detection of the Fiaso sentinel network marks a steep curve in the last two months. In absolute terms, the lowest level of hospitalized patients has been reached since October, while the peak was reached in mid-December, recalls the Federation of healthcare and hospital companies.
The percentage of those hospitalized ‘for Covid’ is reduced by 29%, i.e. those who occupy beds in infectious diseases or in medicines with respiratory and pulmonary syndromes related to the Sars CoV-2 infection. The average age of the patients present in hospital is 76 years and all also have other pathologies. Patients ‘with Covid’, hospitalized for other causes but testing positive for coronavirus, recorded a drop of 24% and represent 60% of Covid patients in hospital.
Finally, no Covid patient – highlights Fiaso – registered in the intensive care units and in the pediatric hospitals or pediatric departments of the sentinel structures monitored by the Federation.

Smiley piercing, between aesthetics and oral health, you have to choose In the news

The lip frenulum piercing or “smiley piercing” is attached behind the upper lip. We see it when we smile. But as it is in permanent contact with the incisors, this is not without consequences on the teeth and gums, warns Dr David Couchat, specialist in orthodontics and president of communications for the French Federation of Orthodontics.
The “smiley” piercing pierces the frenulum of the lip, this small strip of skin attaching the lip to the upper jaw. There are different styles of labret (the jewelry that is inserted through the piercing), including straight, J-shaped, or flat disc labrets, etc. The materials also differ.
Witnessing the immediate and even long-term complications of these jewelry, orthodontists warn of the risks associated with this practice. Although the most common complications occur immediately after piercing, such as infections, contact allergies and cracks, lip frenulum piercings can cause problems that are often unsuspected by the wearer because they do not are neither visible nor painful.
Be uncompromising about hygiene
The “piercing artist” or “piercer” must respect strict hygiene and safety standards during the procedure, including the sterilization of equipment (use of the autoclave),

Rio de Janeiro Declares Dengue Emergency Ahead of Carnival Preparations
Rio de Janeiro declared a state of emergency on Monday, as reported by CNN Brasil. In January alone, the city’s health network witnessed a record number of dengue cases, with 362 people hospitalized. This surpassed the previous high from 2008. According to data from the Rio de Janeiro City Council’s Epidemiological Observatory panel, there have already been 11,202 registered cases in 2024, compared to a total of 22,959 cases throughout 2023.
The Threat of Dengue
Rio’s Municipal Health Secretary, Daniel Soranz, stated that the city is facing an epidemic of the disease. To address this urgent situation, authorities plan to establish ten centers across the city dedicated to combating dengue. Additionally, the Municipal Health Department aims to vaccinate all children in Rio as soon as vaccines become available from the Ministry of Health. The goal is to vaccinate 354,000 children within a week.
A State of Emergency
It is important to note that only a quarter of individuals infected with dengue will experience symptoms. The most common symptom is fever, but the virus can also cause nausea, vomiting, rash, or various types of pain, such as muscle,
Breakthrough Discovery in Malaria Treatment Genetic Factors
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Feb. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a major scientific breakthrough, a research team from King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&RC) has collaborated with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) to ), together with researchers from the United Kingdom, the United States, and India, discovered genetic factors that are crucial in the prevention and treatment of malaria. A genetic factor called PfAP2-MRP is essential in the replication process of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes the deadliest strains of malaria.
Using advanced laboratory techniques, the researchers were able to inhibit the PfAP2-MRP genetic element, demonstrating its key role in the life cycle of the malaria parasite within red blood cells. When inhibited, the parasite’s ability to reproduce is severely disrupted, thereby reducing the severity of disease symptoms and hindering its spread. The discovery has important implications as it relates to Plasmodium falciparum malaria, a disease that kills more than half a million people each year.
“This discovery paves the way for more effective treatments for the most lethal Plasmodium falciparum malaria strains,” said Dr. Ashraf Dada, Chairman of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and leader of the study at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre.
Are there really 27 million missed medical appointments?
“When you have a doctor’s appointment and you don’t come without warning, you pay”warned Gabriel Attal during his general policy speech on Tuesday January 30. Financial penalties for unfulfilled appointments, or “rabbit tax”, promised by the Prime Minister, aims to “empower” patients while compensating doctors.
This recurring demand from liberal doctors was brought forward in January 2023 by a joint press release from the National Council of the Order of Physicians and the Academy of Medicine, deploring that “each week 6% to 10% of patients do not show up for their appointment, which corresponds to a loss of consultation time of almost two hours per week for the doctor whatever the discipline and, by extrapolation , nearly 27 million unfulfilled appointments per year.
According to these two organizations, the “rabbits” posed to practitioners have “serious repercussions on the provision of care”, disrupt the daily work of doctors and contribute to increasing the number of patients seeking emergency services.
Where does this figure of 27 million unfulfilled consultations per year come from?
Asked about the origin of these figures, the National Council of the Order of Physicians refers to the association of liberal doctors of the Regional Union of Health Professionals of Ile-de-France (URPS-IDF) which is in the origin.
The Increasing Threat of Influenza Among Students: Prevention and Treatment Tips from Oriental Medicine Director Ahn Deok-geun
Ahn Deok-geun, director of Jahwang Oriental Medicine Hospital, said the flu epidemic continues. In particular, nowadays the number of flu patients among elementary, middle and high school students is rapidly increasing. Due to the cold, outdoor activities decrease and indoor activities increase, which reduces immunity and makes people vulnerable to the influenza virus.
Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus. If you get the flu, you will experience not only a fever of 38 degrees or higher, respiratory symptoms such as cough and sore throat, but also muscle aches, general tiredness, vomiting and nausea.
Types of influenza include type A, type B, and type C. It is highly contagious, spreads easily through droplets from an infected person, and can survive on the surface of the mouth or nose. There is the possibility of indirect infection even by touching your face, so during flu season, washing your hands thoroughly, using hand sanitizer and not touching your face can greatly help reduce infection.
Currently, treatment of influenza includes prevention through vaccination and taking antiviral drugs. There are cases where people recover without side effects, but if flu side effects occur after treatment,
