Burden of Disease in PWH Harboring a Multidrug-Resistant Virus: Data from the PRESTIGIO Registry

2020

AbstractBackgroundCurrently, no data are available on the burden of morbidity and mortality in people with HIV-1 (PWH) harboring a 4-class drug-resistant (4DR) virus (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, integrase strand transfer inhibitors). The study aimed to assess the incidence of clinical events and death in this population.MethodsThis was a cohort study on PWH from the PRESTIGIO Registry with a documented 4DR virus. Burden of disease was defined as the occurrence of any new event including an AIDS-defining event (ADE) or non-AIDS-defining event (NADE) or death from any cause after 4DR evidence (baseline). Co…

La violenza delle mafie

2017

Nell’ambito delle attività promosse dal progetto STAR-Linea 1 The use of violence and organized crime. A socio-economic analysis of Camorra clans in Campania, «Meridiana» ha organizzato una tavola rotonda sul tema della violenza delle mafie che si è tenuta il 9 novembre 2017 presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche dell’Università di Napoli Federico II durante i due giorni del Convegno finale di presentazione dei risultati del progetto. Alla tavola rotonda, coordinata da Monica Massari, hanno partecipato studiosi e studiose del fenomeno mafioso di diverse generazioni e ambiti disciplinari, presenti in quei giorni a Napoli per partecipare al Convegno. Nelle pagine che seguono si riportano…

Bone damage after chemotherapy for lymphoma: a real-world experience

2021

AbstractBackgroundDespite recent improvements in survival due to advances in treatment, the quality of life of patients with lymphoma may be compromised by the long-term complications of chemotherapy and steroid therapy. Among these, a potentially relevant problem is bone loss and the development of fragility fractures.AimTo provide further evidence of clinical or subclinical skeletal complications in correlation with biological variables and markers of bone disease in patients with complete response to therapy.MethodA cross-sectional observational study was conducted on subjects diagnosed with lymphoma with subsequent antineoplastic treatment, disease status after therapy defined as comple…

Automated detection of lung nodules in low-dose computed tomography

2007

A computer-aided detection (CAD) system for the identification of pulmonary nodules in low-dose multi-detector computed-tomography (CT) images has been developed in the framework of the MAGIC-5 Italian project. One of the main goals of this project is to build a distributed database of lung CT scans in order to enable automated image analysis through a data and cpu GRID infrastructure. The basic modules of our lung-CAD system, consisting in a 3D dot-enhancement filter for nodule detection and a neural classifier for false-positive finding reduction, are described. The system was designed and tested for both internal and sub-pleural nodules. The database used in this study consists of 17 low…

A new approach for assessing minimum flow in ephemeral streams

2009

The aim of this paper is to propose a new methodological approach, appropriate for low-yielding catchments, by calculating the ecological minimum river flow starting from the river water quality based on biological indicators and physical–chemical characteristics as reported in the Italian Water Law no. 152/06 and in the UE 2000/60 Directive (WFD: Water Framework Directive). Actually, protecting and restoring river flow regimes and hence the ecosystems they support by providing environmental flows, has become a major aspect of river basin management. In detail, pollutant concentrations downstream and fluvial structure cross-sections have been evaluated, starting from discharges released dow…
