A new combination of trimethoprim with a sulphonamide, named Kelfiprim, differs from cotrimoxazole in that: a) the sulpha drug is sulphamethopyrazine instead of sulphamethoxazole; b) the trimethoprim to sulpha ratio is 5:4 instead of 1:5;c) the presence of a long-acting sulphonamide allows the administration of a daily dose of one capsule, following an initial loading dose of two capsules; d) a reduced amount of trimethoprim is given, as compared to cotrimoxazole, without any decrease of efficacy. Kelfiprim [KP] was compared to contrimoxazole [Co] in a multicentre double blind trial. Sixty four patients suffering from acute and chronic infections of the upper and lower urinary tract entered…
Primi risultati sul trattamento delle acque meteoriche nella stazione sperimentale di San Giovanni in Persiceto.
Le acque di origine meteorica che si raccolgono sulle superfici delle aree urbanizzate possono contenere numerose sostanze inquinanti, in concentrazioni anche affatto trascurabili. La prima fonte di inquinanti è già individuabile nell’atmosfera dilavata dalle precipitazioni; ulteriori fonti sono costituite dal traffico stradale, dagli impianti di combustione e, infine, dalle superfici delle strade e dei tetti, tanto per il dilavamento dei depositi che su questi si accumulano in tempo secco, quanto per l’erosione dei materiali da cui essi sono costituiti. Negli Stati Uniti ed in alcuni Paesi del Nord Europa, una soluzione sempre più diffusamente applicata al problema dello smaltimento delle …
