Specialized Management of Oral Anticoagulation Therapy Improves Outcome in Patients with Chronic Renal Insufficiency
2020
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is effective at preventing and treating thromboses and thromboembolism in patients with normal renal function. We aimed to research the impact of severe renal failure (RF) on patient outcome and to determine the potential benefit of caring for these patients in a specialized coagulation service (CS). A total of 1516 usual medical care patients and 756 CS-managed patients of the thrombEVAL multicenter (21 centers), prospective, cohort study (NCT01809015) were analyzed in a 3-year follow-up. Patients with RF (serum creatinine >
Mid- to Long-Term Outcomes of Cervical Disc Arthroplasty versus Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion for Treatment of Symptomatic Cervical Disc Di…
2015
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the mid- to long-term outcomes of cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the treatment of 1-level or 2-level symptomatic cervical disc disease. Methods Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials that reported mid- to long-term outcomes (at least 48 months) of CDA versus ACDF. All data were analyzed by Review Manager 5.3 software. The relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for dichotomous variables. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%CIs were calculated for conti…
Single Event Transients and Pulse Quenching Effects in Bandgap Reference Topologies for Space Applications
2016
An architectural performance comparison of bandgap voltage reference variants, designed in a $0.18~\mu \text {m}$ CMOS process, is performed with respect to single event transients. These are commonly induced in microelectronics in the space radiation environment. Heavy ion tests (Silicon, Krypton, Xenon) are used to explore the analog single-event transients and have revealed pulse quenching mechanisms in analogue circuits. The different topologies are compared, in terms of cross-section, pulse duration and pulse amplitude. The measured results, and the explanations behind the findings, reveal important guidelines for designing analog integrated circuits, which are intended for space appli…
Modelización de riesgos climáticos y sistemas de vigilancia y alerta en la Comunitat Valenciana
2013
El primer objetivo de esta Tesis está relacionado con el desarrollo e implementación de diferentes sistemas de vigilancia y alerta para el territorio de la Comunitat Valenciana: un sistema de predicción meteorológica en tiempo real basado en el modelo atmosférico de mesoescala Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) y un sistema de previsión del Índice UV (UVI), basado en el modelo Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (SBDART). Además, se propone una metodología que proporciona un entorno computacional adecuado para la administración y coordinación de los diferentes procesos implicados en ambos sistemas de vigilancia. La principal mejora de la predicción UVI es la utiliza…

Non-healing tongue ulcer in a rheumatoid arthritis patient medicated with leflunomide. An adverse drug event?
2017
Leflunomide is a member of the disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs group used as a treatment modality in active rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. “Oral ulcers” are reported in 3-5% of leflunomide medicated rheumatoid arthritis patients with adverse events, but they are not described in detail in the literature. We present a case of an ulcer in the tongue of a rheumatoid arthritis patient managed with leflunomide and contemplate on its pathogenesis. Key words:Leflunomide, oral ulcer, DHODH.

Eventi urbani come acceleratori di cosmopolitismo e città post pandemiche. Riflessioni a partire da Manifesta 12 a Palermo
2021
Il saggio indaga il tema degli eventi urbani internazionali come opportunità per generare spazi aperti e reti globali divenendo acceleratori di cosmopolitismo nelle città. A partire dal campo di sperimentazione che ha rappresentato la città di Palermo in particolare con l’esperienza di Manifesta 12, il contributo analizza la capacità degli eventi urbani di catalizzare non solo il turismo ma anche di promuovere la riattivazione della città attraverso trasformazioni mirate del patrimonio edilizio sottoutilizzato e inutilizzato e nuove forme di produzione.
