Telemedicine: Economic and clinical evaluation of the management of ischemic stroke
2017
Summary Introduction Ischemic stroke (IS) is a therapeutic emergency that requires prompt care in a stroke unit (SU). In order to reduce regional inequalities and to promote uniformity in access to this technique, which is effective when carried out quickly, telemedicine-assisted thrombolysis was developed in Burgundy within the Telestroke system. At the moment, no study compared costs (i.e. expenditures) and revenues (i.e. funding) associated with the management of patients presenting an IS in Burgundy after the implementation of the Telestroke system according to the management strategy: patients undergoing thrombolysis directly in a SU or Tele-thrombolysis in a local hospital (LH) receiv…
EMERGENZA SANITARIA E TEMPORANEAITÀ
2018
Fornire risposte immediate a una modernità sempre più rivolta al rapido consumo ha dato origine a un’architettura maggiormente indirizzata alla produzione di manu- fatti provvisori e mobili. Il progetto si appropria così del tempo e ne controlla il suo stato, divenendo strumento indispensabile per rispondere a realtà in continuo divenire, spesso soggette a trasformazioni violente e repentine, come quelle generate da calamità naturali e dagli esodi conseguenti a guerre o a traumi politici, dando vi- ta a nuove forme e sistemi appartenenti a un’Architettura temporanea che potremo definire sanitaria. L’Emergenza sanitaria è una realtà ormai presente nel panorama politico, economico e sociale d…

La Seconda Vita dell'Ambiente Costruito
2021
Il contributo inquadra i saggi, gli studi, le ricerche e progetti pubblicati sul numero 9 di AGATHÓN su ‘La Seconda Vita dell’Ambiente Costruito’, tema di interesse per il mondo accademico, delle professioni e dell’industria. Cambiamenti climatici, eccessivo consumo di suolo e di risorse non rinnovabili, produzione sempre crescente di rifiuti, emergenza pandemica e crisi socio-economica globale sono entrati di fatto nel nostro quotidiano: seppur drammatiche, per certi versi, tali questioni possono essere colte come un’opportunità per ripensare il modo e il mondo in cui viviamo. In questo contesto di ‘rivoluzione’(Floridi, 2020) e di ‘policrisi’ (Losasso, 2020), e con riferimento specifico a…

Blood Component Therapy and Coagulopathy in Trauma: A Systematic Review of the Literature from the Trauma Update Group
2016
Background Traumatic coagulopathy is thought to increase mortality and its treatment to reduce preventable deaths. However, there is still uncertainty in this field, and available literature results may have been overestimated. Methods We searched the MEDLINE database using the PubMed platform. We formulated four queries investigating the prognostic weight of traumatic coagulopathy defined according to conventional laboratory testing, and the effectiveness in reducing mortality of three different treatments aimed at contrasting coagulopathy (high fresh frozen plasma/packed red blood cells ratios, fibrinogen, and tranexamic acid administration). Randomized controlled trials were selected alo…
Neuro-ICU patient disposition
2018
This article revises the recent evidence on ICU admission criteria for acute neurological patients [traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, postoperative neurosurgical procedures and stroke].The appropriate utilization of ICU beds is essential, but it is complex and a challenge to attain. To date there are no widely accepted international guidelines for managing these acute brain-injured patients (stroke, TBI, postneurosurgery) in the ICU. The criteria for ICU admission after neurological acute injury, high-dependency unit or a specialized neurosurgical ward vary from institution to institution depending on local structures and characteristics of the available resources. Better evidence to s…

La atención a la situación del mundo en la educación científica
2021
Protagonizamos en la actualidad una epoca de profundas y aceleradas transformaciones que, unida a una multiplicidad de problemas medioambientales y sociales cuyos efectos vienen agravandose a nivel planetario, ha convertido la "situacion del mundo" en objeto directo de preocupacion. En la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo, celebrada en Rio de Janeiro en 1992 y conocida como Primera Cumbre de la Tierra, se reclamo una decidida accion de los educadores, de todas las areas, para que los ciudadanos y ciudadanas adquieran una correcta percepcion de cual es esa situacion y puedan participar en la toma de decisiones fundamentadas. Un primer proposito de esta inve…
