Gender-differences in disease distribution and outcome in hospitalized elderly: data from the REPOSI study.

2014

none 330 Women live longer and outnumber men. On the other hand, older women develop more chronic diseases and conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and depression, leading to a greater number of years of living with disabilities. The aim of this study was to describe whether or not there are gender differences in the demographic profile, disease distribution and outcome in a population of hospitalized elderly people.Retrospective observational study including all patients recruited for the REPOSI study in the year 2010. Analyses are referred to the whole group and gender categorization was applied.A total of 1380 hospitalized elderly subjects, 50.5\% women and 49.5\% men, were conside…

Exergy Analysis of Reverse Electrodialysis Heat Engine with Multi-Effect Distillation Regeneration Stage

2018

The increasing worldwide energy demand is rising the interest on alternative power production technologies based on renewable and emission-free energy sources. In this regard, the closed-loop reverse electrodialysis heat engine (RED-HE) is one of the most promising technologies currently under investigation. This technology produces electric power by harvesting the salinity gradient energy released from the controlled mixing of two artificial salt solutions with different concentrations. Low-grade heat (T < 100 °C), derived from any industrial process is used in a multi-effect distillation (MED) unit to restore the initial salinity gradient of the solutions. In this work, a comprehensive…
