The goal of this observational study it to learn about the prevalence of skin sensitization and dermatitis among epoxy-exposed workers in the wind turbine industry. The main question it aims to answer is:
- What is the prevalence of skin sensitization and dermatitis among workers in the wind turbine industry who are exposed to epoxy?
Participants will be asked to perform Patch Test, which is considered the Gold Standard test for identifying the cause of occupational contact allergic dermatitis.
Researchers will compare the results of the epoxy-exposed group with those of a control group comprising non-exposed workers from the same industry. This analysis will help determine if there is a higher prevalence of skin sensitization among workers exposed to epoxy.

The goal of this, Retrospective and Prospective Low- Interventional study, is to implement health education interventions to promote self-care and reduce disease complications in DM Type 2 patients at higher risk of development/progression of Diabetic Retinopathy. ]. The main question it aims to answer are:
* To evaluate the impact of a health education intervention on mental health, self-care behaviors, and disease knowledge in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 with high risk of development/progression of Diabetic Retinopathy.
* To evaluate the impact of a health education intervention on the metabolic control of patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 with high risk of development/progression of Diabetic Retinopathy.
Patients will have to (V1 and V4):
* answer three questionnaires, (Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities - SDSCA, QCD- Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale" (DASS-21).
* measurement of weight and height, to calculate BMI.
* collection of glycated hemoglobin analysis (if they have been done in the last 3 months).

The goal of this Cross-sectional, interventional study is to learn about whether different risk factors, as Mediterranean diet, lifestyle and concomitant medication can modulate the risk imprinted by genetics in Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The main question it aims to answer is: How the genetic risk interacts with environmental and lifestyle factors, especially Mediterranean diet and chronic medication, in order to assess how this interplay protects or presents higher risk for the establishment or the progression of AMD.
Participants:
Vital Signs will be measured; Medical History, Demographics, Nutritional/lifestyle habits and Family History of AMD will be recorded; Ophthalmological Examination will be performed Genetic analysis will be performed.
