Personality of Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis
2017
The personality of pelvic fractures in the elderly differs in many ways from pelvic ring lesions in adults. Only high-energy trauma leads to pelvic ring disruptions. Concomitant lesions of the soft tissues occur frequently. In the elderly, low-energy falls are the rule. The most important symptom is pain, which restricts mobility. Hemodynamic instability in fragility fractures of the pelvis is rare. Emergency stabilization with pelvic binders or sheets, C-clamping or emergency external fixation are not needed. Arteriography and selective embolization is only recommended in the rare patients, who develop an active arterial bleeding due to the pelvic fracture. Especially patients, who are tre…
Electromagnetic distal targeting system does not reduce the overall operative time of the intramedullary nailing for humeral shaft fractures
2018
Abstract Introduction We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the use of the electromagnetic distal targeting system in treating humeral shaft fracture. Methods Patients were divided in: Group 1) patients that received a distal locking screw placement following the free-hand technique; Group 2) patients in which the distal locking screw was performed using the SURESHOT device. Results No differences were noted comparing Group 1 (freehand) [71,9 range 40–135 min] to Group 2 (SURESHOT)[70, range 25–125 min]. Conclusion The use of the EM distal targeting system doesn't reduce the overall operative time of the humeral shaft fracture fixation using IMN.
Using a hazard-independent approach to understand road-network robustness to multiple disruption scenarios
2021
Abstract A range of predictable and unpredictable events can cause road perturbations, disrupting traffic flows and more generally the functioning of society. To manage this threat, stakeholders need to understand the potential impact of a multitude of predictable and unpredictable events. The present paper adopts a hazard-independent approach to assess the robustness (ability to maintain functionality despite disturbances) of the Sioux Falls network to all possible disruptions. This approach allows understanding the impact of a wide range of disruptive events, including random, localised, and targeted link failures. The paper also investigates the predictability of the link combinations wh…
EPIdemiology of Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (EPIS-AKI): study protocol for a multicentre, observational trial

Anaesthesia protocol evaluation of the videolaryngoscopy with the McGrath MAC and direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in 1000 patients underg…
2021
IntroductionRapid sequence induction of anaesthesia is indicated in patients with an increased risk of pulmonary aspiration. The main objective of the technique is to reduce the critical time period between loss of airway protective reflexes and rapid inflation of the cuff of the endotracheal tube to minimise the chance of aspiration of gastric contents. The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of first-pass intubation success to ensure patient and healthcare worker safety. The aim of this study is to compare the first-pass intubation success rate (FPS) using the videolaryngoscopy compared with conventional direct laryngoscopy in surgical patients with a high risk of pulmonary as…

Impact of asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in global surgical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic
2020
The rapid spread of COVID-19 has changed the global surgical care. Patients infected with COVID-19 may present without typical symptoms, and such asymptomatic patients may potentially trigger in-hospital outbreaks by transmitting the disease to health care providers and other hospitalized patients. Further, asymptomatic COVID-19 patients have worse postop- erative outcomes with an unexpectedly high morbidity and mortality, reaching 20⋅5 per cent deaths. However, we do not have objective global data on this issue. In an attempt to clarify the current global surgical practice under the COVID-19 pandemic particularly focusing on the preoperative screening of asymptomatic COVID-19 patients, we …
LEZIONE 10. Breve storia dell’epistemologia pedagogica contemporanea
2017
Questa Lezione è dedicata al Novecento, un secolo ricco di diverse scuole di pensiero e di maestri il cui merito è stato quello di avere contribuito a trasformare il sapere pedagogico favorendo una svolta epistemologica: se fino all’Ottocento la pedagogia era un sapere ancora fortemente identificato con la filosofia, nel XX secolo essa diventava una scienza capace di riflettere criticamente sull’educazione e sulla formazione dell’uomo, assumendo le caratteristiche di un sapere specifico, complesso e più articolato. This lesson is dedicated to the twentieth century, a century full of different schools of thought and masters whose merit was to transform the pedagogical knowledge favoring an e…
Three solutions for a two-point boundary value problem with the prescribed mean curvature equation
2015
The existence of at least three classical solutions for a parametric ordinary Dirichlet problem involving the mean curvature operator are established. In particular, a variational approach is proposed and the main results are obtained simply requiring the sublinearity at zero of the considered nonlinearity.
