EVOLUZIONE DEI CAROTENOIDI NEL CORSO DELLA MATURAZIONE DI UVE TINTILIA

I carotenoidi presenti nelle uve, principalmente luteina e -carotene, sono importanti precursori di aromi caratteristici, appartenenti alla classe dei C13-norisoprenoidi. Tali composti sono di grande interesse per la loro bassa soglia olfattiva e perché contribuiscono in modo significativo alla qualità e tipicità dei vini. Nella presente nota si è valutata l’evoluzione dei carotenoidi nel corso della maturazione di uve Tintilia, vitigno fortemente legato al territorio della regione Molise, in relazione alla forma di allevamento. La forma di allevamento a Guyot, rispetto al cordone speronato, ha favorito un maggior accumulo di sostanze polifenoliche, antocianiche e di carotenoidi nelle uve.…

Comparison of European ICU patients in 2012 (ICON) versus 2002 (SOAP)

Purpose: To evaluate differences in the characteristics and outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) patients over time. Methods: We reviewed all epidemiological data, including comorbidities, types and severity of organ failure, interventions, lengths of stay and outcome, for patients from the Sepsis Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients (SOAP) study, an observational study conducted in European intensive care units in 2002, and the Intensive Care Over Nations (ICON) audit, a survey of intensive care unit patients conducted in 2012. Results: We compared the 3147 patients from the SOAP study with the 4852 patients from the ICON audit admitted to intensive care units in the same countries as those…

Assessment of the worldwide burden of critical illness: The Intensive Care Over Nations (ICON) audit

Item does not contain fulltext BACKGROUND: Global epidemiological data regarding outcomes for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are scarce, but are important in understanding the worldwide burden of critical illness. We, therefore, did an international audit of ICU patients worldwide and assessed variations between hospitals and countries in terms of ICU mortality. METHODS: 730 participating centres in 84 countries prospectively collected data on all adult (>16 years) patients admitted to their ICU between May 8 and May 18, 2012, except those admitted for fewer than 24 h for routine postoperative monitoring. Participation was voluntary. Data were collected daily for a maximum of 28 da…
