Realizzazione della carta digitale dei suoli della Sicilia utilizzando il rilevamento GIS-oriented e un modello CLORPT
Produrre una carta digitale dei suoli della Sicilia (1:250.000) di tipo quantitativo, che combinasse l’approccio tradizionale deterministico con un modello CLORPT, e introducendo nel fattore rilievo i processi geomorfologici è stato lo scopo della ricerca. 1.532 profili di suoli (1.363 analizzati) sono stati raccolti da bibliografi a e da rilevamenti precedenti. Una carta fisiografica della Sicilia è stata realizzata per fotointerpretazione e consultando 54 lavori pubblicati di geomorfologia. Altre informazioni geografi che sono state raccolte: una carta geologica della Sicilia, la carta dell’uso del suolo Corine 2000 e la precedente versione della carta dei suoli della Sicilia.

The association between low skeletal muscle mass and delirium: results from the nationwide multi-centre Italian Delirium Day 2017
Abstract Introduction Delirium and sarcopenia are common, although underdiagnosed, geriatric syndromes. Several pathological mechanisms can link delirium and low skeletal muscle mass, but few studies have investigated their association. We aimed to investigate (1) the association between delirium and low skeletal muscle mass and (2) the possible role of calf circumference mass in finding cases with delirium. Methods The analyses were conducted employing the cross-sectional “Delirium Day” initiative, on patient 65 years and older admitted to acute hospital medical wards, emergency departments, rehabilitation wards, nursing homes and hospices in Italy in 2017. Delirium was diagnosed as a 4 + …
Prevalence and features of delirium in older patients admitted to rehabilitation facilities
Background: Delirium is thought to be common across various settings of care; however, still little research has been conducted in rehabilitation. Aim: We investigated the prevalence of delirium, its features and motor subtypes in older patients admitted to rehabilitation facilities during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project”. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 1237 older patients (age ≥ 65 years old) admitted to 50 Italian rehabilitation wards during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project” (2015 to 2017) were included. Delirium was evaluated through the 4AT and its motor subtype with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Results: Delirium was detected i…
