COVID-19 vaccination and unemployment risk: lessons from the Italian crisis.

This paper analyzes the impact of mobility contraction on employee furlough and excess deaths in Italy during the COVID-19 crisis. Our approach exploits rainfall patterns across Italian administrative regions as a source of exogenous variation in human mobility to pinpoint the causal effect of mobility restrictions on excess deaths and furlough workers. Results confirm that the first countrywide lockdown has effectively curtailed the COVID-19 epidemics restricting it mainly to the northern part of the country, with the drawback of a countrywide increase in unemployment risk. Our analysis points out that a mobility contraction of 1% leads to a mortality reduction of 0.6%, but it induces an increase of 10% in Wage Guarantee Funds allowed hours. We discuss return-to-work policies and prioritizing policies for administering COVID-19 vaccines in the most advanced stage of a vaccination campaign when the healthy active population is left to be vaccinated.

Neuroleptic-induced dystonia: incidence and risk factors.

Retrospective evaluation of patients admitted consecutively to the psychiatric units of two general hospitals in Florence, to evaluate the rate and risk factors of neuroleptic-induced dystonia (NDA). One hundred and fifty-nine patients out of 2354 reviewed charts were included. The incidence of NDA was 15.7%. Multivariate analyses revealed that both age and neuroleptization speed (NS)-a new variable-were related to the occurrence of dystonia.
