Fattori predittivi di non compliance nel trapianto renale

2004

Currently many authors report a kidney graft survival of 90-95% at one years post-transplantation. The patients' adherence to the immunosuppressive therapy is an important condition for maintaining graft functioning. A review of the medical literature shows that graft survival is significantly worse in non-compliance patients. As a matter of fact, 267 non compliance patients lost their graft of 7206 renal graft recipients. There are usually three different non-compliance profiles in transplantation : 1) 'Accidental non compliers' (47%) identifies those patients who sometimes forget to take the therapy. 2) 'Invulnerables' (28%) are those patients who believe that they do not need to take the…

VALUTAZIONE DELLA COMPLIANCE E DELLA PERSISTENZA NELLA TERAPIA DELL’OSTEOPOROSI CON ALENDRONATO: NOSTRA ESPERIENZA

[Perception of dyspnea and treatment adherence in asthmatic patients].

2008

OBJECTIVE: The majority of studies show that treatment adherence in chronic diseases such as asthma does not exceed 50%. Although the reasons may vary, it is clear that lack of treatment adherence is a determining factor in poor disease control. An association has also been observed between lack of perception of dyspnea and difficult-to-control asthma and with the occurrence of fatal or near-fatal asthma attacks. In this study we therefore attempted to demonstrate that one of the reasons that asthmatic patients do not adhere to treatment is a failure to perceive dyspnea associated with bronchial obstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed 2 groups of patients with moderate persistent ast…

Adaptation of TECCU App Based on Patients´ Perceptions for the Telemonitoring of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Qualitative Study Using Focus Groups

2020

Background: Despite the continuous adaptation of eHealth systems for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a significant disconnection persists between users and developers. Since non-adherence remains high, it is necessary to better understand the patients&rsquo

La recente riforma della disciplina italiana del subappalto nella prospettiva del bid rigging

2023

L’articolo analizza in chiave critica la disciplina nazionale del subappalto nell’ambito delle gare pubbliche, così come recentemente riformata a seguito di diversi interventi normativi in ottemperanza alla procedura d’infrazione avviata dalla Commissione UE. Stando alla tesi dell’A., l’attuale quadro normativo – caratterizzato dalla quasi totale eliminazione delle limitazioni previgenti (probabilmente anche spingendosi oltre ciò che la Commissione UE ha richiesto) – difetta nel trovare un equo bilanciamento tra il principio della massima partecipazione alla gara, da un lato, e l’esigenza di prevenire e svelare potenziali condotte collusive, dall’altro. La suddetta conclusione, peraltro, ap…

Respiratory mechanics measured by forced oscillations during mechanical ventilation through a tracheal tube

2011

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) allows the measurement of respiratory mechanics in the intensive care setting. The aim of this study was to compare the FOT with a reference method during mechanical ventilation through a tracheal tube. The respiratory impedance spectra were measured by FOT in nine anaesthetized pigs, and resistance and compliance were estimated on the basis of a linear resistance-compliance inertance model. In comparison, resistance and compliance were quantified by the multiple linear regression analysis (LSF) of conventional ventilator waveforms to the equation of motion. The resistance of the sample was found to range from 6 to 21 cmH(2)O s l(-1) and the compliance…

La Convención de Palermo (UNTOC) y la responsabilidad derivada de delitos de las personas jurídicas: itinerarios e intersecciones del ordenamiento it…

2022

Both the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (UNTOC: signed in December 2000 in Palermo) and the Delegation Law no. 300/2000, with its corresponding Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, which jointly introduced in Italy the liability arising from crime for collective entities, mark two "paradigm shifts" for the criminal system. The contribution focuses on the overall value of the two legislative innovations examined in the evolution of criminal law, respectively at the international level and in the Italian context. The interest in analysing their respective contributions is further stimulated by the observation that the two areas, although autonomous, present a sign…

The residence permit for third-country nationals who are victims of human trafficking: A double-face instrument between compliance strategy and prote…

2017

Purpose The aim of the present study is to explore institutional design strategies that promote compliance by regulating peculiar sorts of agents, namely, human trafficking victims, starting from the point of view that institutions assume addressee virtue, but instead should consider the hypothesis of non-compliance or that the measures adopted reveal their inefficiency to satisfy the goals they were thought for, or that they are applied to obtain scopes, which are different from the ones they were conceived for. Design/methodology/approach Different methodological approaches, both deductive and inductive, are combined in the present paper, together with comparative and philosophical insig…

Forced Compliance, Double Forced Compliance and Experimental Dynamics in Social Representations

2007

The present article deals with changes in the subjects’ social representation of a topic (i.e. how they think about “studying at a school”) due to their single or double forced compliance in a counter-attitudinal direction. The single forced compliance was manipulated in two ways, first by having the subjects write an essay (Study 1), and second by having them hold a speech (Study 2). The double forced compliance consisted of having the subject write an essay plus hold a speech (Study 3). The changes in social representation were assessed at two levels, first at the level of the subjects’ responses to a questionnaire (some items of which had central and other items had peripherical meanings…
