Dec. 10 – “Ab actu ad posse valet to illatio? Epidemiological inferences from ex-voto” is the title of paper behind the research carried out by Elena Azzolini, Luca Mallado Andrea Serafini and Anna Maria Gentile, a group of researchers at the University of Siena. Coordinated by the research professor of medicine and surgery of the University, Nicola Nante, they carried out a study on the epidemiology of diseases and accidents that occurred over centuries, made on the basis of an examination of votive shrines photographed across Italy. And the European Public Health Congress has awarded them the prize for the best scientific communication. Considered the main scientific event in the field of public health at the European level, the event was held a few days ago in Brussels. There, the young researchers collected the prestigious award for their work at the “Laboratory for planning and organization of Health services – Health services research laboratory” at the specialization school in ” Public health medicine ” of the Department of Molecular Medicine and Development of the University of Siena. The University of Siena thus brings home another brilliant success.
