Integrated Hospital, Emergency Department, and Community Surveillance for Respiratory Viruses in Milan, Italy

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiratory virus circulation may vary across healthcare settings and age groups, potentially limiting the interpretability of surveillance based on a single source. In Milan, Italy, established community‐ and emergency department‐based systems coexist with hospital laboratory testing, but hospital ward‐level data are not routinely integrated.

Wastewater-Based Epidemiology of Influenza Viruses: a systematic review [PDF]

Eur J Public Health
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a valuable public health tool for monitoring the circulation of many pathogens, including influenza viruses (IVs). The general aim of this study is to systematically retrieve and summarize evidence on the use of WBE for supporting influenza surveillance.

Occurrence and Distribution of Environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa From Hospitals in Bangladesh Reveals Diverse Strain Families, Multidrug Resistance, and Biofilm Formation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Environmental reservoirs in Bangladeshi hospitals harbor phylogenetically diverse, multidrug‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with extensive biofilm‐forming capacity and class 1 integron‐associated resistance genes. These findings highlight hospital environments as persistent sources of antimicrobial resistance dissemination and underscore the need for

Impact of Environmental Exposure on Infant Sleep : The Exposome Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
This review explores how exposure to environmental pollutants during the first 1000 days of life may affect infant sleep. Evidence suggests potential links between chemical exposures and sleep disturbances, underscoring the need for more research on early‐life vulnerability and the impact of pollutants in air, diet, and breast milk.
