Quality of life and disability of chronic non-cancer pain in adults patients attending pain clinics: A prospective, multicenter, observational study
What do we already know about this subject? • Chronic pain can have negative effects on quality of life. It is associated with a reduced ability to work, quality of life and disability, conditions that should be treated in specialized pain management clinics. In Italy very little information on clinical outcomes after chronic pain treatments is provided. What does our study add to the already existing information • This study is the first to provide clinical data about the impact of chronic pain in terms of quality of life and disability on patients who attended pain management clinics in Italy. • Chronic pain has a negative impact on quality of life and disability and causes presenteeism. …
IL METODO DI PROVA “AIAS - TR” PER LA MISURA DELLE TENSIONI RESIDUE COSTANTI O VARIABILI CON LA TECNICA DEL FORO INCREMENTALE
Viene presentata una sintesi dell’attività svolta dal Gruppo di lavoro AIAS “Tensioni Residue” nel periodo dal 2006 al 2009. Lo scopo dell’attività è stata l’elaborazione del metodo AIAS - TR 01 per la misura delle tensioni residue con il metodo del foro incrementale. La normativa tecnica esistente sull’argomento (ASTM E 837-08) [1] ha un campo di applicabilità ristretto; infatti essa non considera alcuni effetti che possono influenzare l’accuratezza della misura. Il metodo di prova (AIAS - TR 01) fornisce una visione d’insieme del metodo della rosetta forata, aggiornata all’attuale stato dell’arte (2009) sia a livello tecnologico che a livello teorico. Le principali innovazioni riguardano …
Precision electroweak measurements on the Z resonance
We report on the final electroweak measurements performed with data taken at the Z resonance by the experiments operating at the electron-positron colliders SLC and LEP. The data consist of 17 million Z decays accumulated by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments at LEP, and 600 thousand Z decays by the SLD experiment using a polarised beam at SLC. The measurements include cross-sections, forward-backward asymmetries and polarised asymmetries. The mass and width of the Z boson, $\MZ$ and $\GZ$, and its couplings to fermions, for example the $\rho$ parameter and the effective electroweak mixing angle, are precisely measured. The number of light neutrino species is determined to be 2.9840…
