A study on oral rehydration therapy of diarrheal disease in Western Sicily

1987

A longitudinal study to ascertain the most common therapeutic approach to diarrheal disease by general practitioners and pediatricians was carried out in Western Sicily. Data obtained showed that of 902 home-managed cases of diarrhea observed by 58 physicians during one year, 65.3% were treated with antibiotics, 8.0% with antimotility agents and 26.7% were not treated with any pharmacological agent (rehydration or diet). Although oral rehydration therapy was widely known by physicians in Western Sicily, only a few of them were willing to use it routinely as the principal and exclusive treatment.

Distraplan: a flexible tool for strategical planning of electrical distribution systems considering distributed generation.

2005

The paper here presented describes and shows DISTRAPLAN (Distribution Strategical Planning), software tool for strategical planning of distribu tion networks at Medium and Low voltage. The software aims at the identification and comparison of network configur ations, optimized in the long term with identification of special features in relation to the main technical-economical-environmental aspects, such as: the number of HV/MV and MV/LV substations, total length of the MV and LV lines and relevant sections, maximum required energy and power, instal lation and losses costs, etc. DISTRAPLAN, in both the main procedures into which it is articulated (strategical planning and evaluation of the …
