Understanding Factors Associated With Psychomotor Subtypes of Delirium in Older Inpatients With Dementia

Objectives Few studies have analyzed factors associated with delirium subtypes. In this study, we investigate factors associated with subtypes of delirium only in patients with dementia to provide insights on the possible prevention and treatments. Design This is a cross-sectional study nested in the "Delirium Day" study, a nationwide Italian point-prevalence study. Setting and participants Older patients admitted to 205 acute and 92 rehabilitation hospital wards. Measures Delirium was evaluated with the 4-AT and the motor subtypes with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Dementia was defined by the presence of a documented diagnosis in the medical records and/or prescription of acetylcholine…

IL SITO PREISTORICO DELLO ZUBBIO DI COZZO SAN PIETRO S.I.C. RUPI DI CATALFANO E CAPO ZAFFERANO

All’interno del S.I.C, “Rupi di Catalfano e Capo Zafferano”, alcune delle grotte presenti sono state frequentate dall’uomo fin dalla preistoria. Mettendo a confronto la genesi delle cavità e la loro ubicazione topografica, è evidente che la scelta dei siti consoni a essere usati dall’uomo è marcatamente strategica e ponderata. L’indagine è stata condotta dapprima individuando e raggiungendo i siti noti in bibliografia, dai quali si è cercato di elaborare un modello per individuare nuovi siti che potessero presentare evidenze di frequentazione umana risalenti alla preistoria, soprattutto recente. All’interno di una grotta, Zubbio di Cozzo San Pietro, ubicata ad una quota di 300 m s.l.m sul v…

Erythropoietin in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a multicentre, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase III study.

Objective To assess the efficacy of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods Patients with probable laboratory-supported, probable or definite ALS were enrolled by 25 Italian centres and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive intravenous rhEPO 40 000 IU or placebo fortnightly as add-on treatment to riluzole 100 mg daily for 12 months. The primary composite outcome was survival, tracheotomy or >23 h non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Secondary outcomes were ALSFRS-R, slow vital capacity (sVC) and quality of life (ALSAQ-40) decline. Tolerability was evaluated analysing adverse events (AEs) causing withdrawal. The randomisation sequence was computer-…
