Features and organization of Pain Centers in the Lazio Region, Italy, in 2011
2014
Introduzione: Le migliori evidenze sulla gestione del dolore raccomandano l’uso di programmi multidisciplinari al fine di ottenere significativi risultati terapeutici. Questi possono essere garantiti dai Centri di Terapia del Dolore (CPM), in cui team multidisciplinari sono in grado di fornire attività assistenziali avanzate e specializzate per la valutazione, la diagnosi e il trattamento del dolore cronico benigno. Ad oggi, le informazioni relative alla rete sanitaria e la struttura organizzativa di questi centri in Italia sono esigue. Lo scopo di questo studio è quello di descrivere l’offerta sanitaria e organizzativa dei CPM in una regione italiana (Lazio).Metodi:. Studio descrittivo che…
The M.U.S.E. project: A nursing-centered MUltidimensional aSsessment of Elderly outpatient with comorbidities
2017
Objective: Increasingly exacerbations of chronic diseases in frail elderly, causes reduction of patients' quality of life and lead to significant increases in resource utilization and cost to the health care system. A multidimensional and multidisciplinary assessment of an older person allows the identification of the level of stability or fragility of the patient, thereby determining a prognosis and a tailored therapeutic approach. Besides, the revaluation over time allows you to understand the evolution, the critical points of the natural history of the person, tailoring interventions to reduce the risk of disability, hospitalization, and death. The aim of our study is to implement a new …
Association of child maltreatment subtypes and long-term physical health in a German representative sample
2018
ABSTRACT Background: Child maltreatment is a major public problem, associated with enormous consequences on the individual and socioeconomic level. Studies show a clear impact of child maltreatment on long-term physical health. However, there is a lack of analyses comprising a wide variety of subtypes of maltreatment and addressing cumulative effects of different maltreatment subtypes experienced during childhood on physical health. Objective: The objective of this analysis was to assess the association of different subtypes and the intensity of child maltreatment with long-term physical health outcomes. Methods: In a cross-sectional observational approach, a representative sample of the Ge…

Study of the mechanisms of oxidative stress, mitochondrial function and endoplasmic reticulum stress in obesity. Role in subclinical atherosclerosis …
2019
El aumento alarmante de la prevalencia de obesidad a nivel mundial y la enorme carga de enfermedad asociada ha generado una creciente demanda de estrategias para frenar la epidemia y / o mitigar los efectos dañinos de la obesidad sobre la salud. Para ello se requiere un compromiso firme y sinérgico por parte de todas las fuerzas sociales, no sólo para desarrollar estrategias preventivas, sino también para contribuir al conocimiento de los eventos patológicos y los mecanismos involucrados en el desarrollo de esta enfermedad. Por ello, el objetivo principal de la presente tesis doctoral es profundizar en los mecanismos subyacentes de la obesidad, especialmente en aquellos relacionados con el …
Sleep-disordered breathing in the elderly
2009
Purpose: The prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) increases with aging. SDB is a risk of hypertension, and both might lead to cognitive decline. However, the role of SDB and hypertension on the pathogenesis of age-related cognitive decline remains unclear. We examined the effects of these two diseases on cognitive function in elderly adults.
Chronic total occlusions: A European global perspective
2008
Treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions still represents the last frontier for the interventionalist. Although the most important cause of procedural failure is the inability to cross the occlusion with the guide wire and to reach the distal true lumen end, other factors may prevent balloon crossing and final recanalisation. Moreover, the recurrence rate of restenosis and reocclusion is higher compared with other subsets of lesions. Data obtained over the past decade have shown that successful recanalisabon of CTO provides long-term outcome improvement, left ventricular ejection fraction improvement, electrical stability of myocardium and improved tolerance for future coronary ev…
Oikonyme als Ausdrucksform der Zweisprachigkeit. Zum Gebrauch der Siedlungsnamen in der Chronik der Pfarrei Zawada Ks
2021
Sytuacja językowa na Górnym Śląsku doprowadziła z biegiem czasu do tego, że obecnie wiele miejscowości w regionie posiada nazwy, które można przypisać do niemieckiego lub polskiego systemu językowego. Jeśli autor ma do dyspozycji różne nazwy tego samego miejsca, interesujące jest, które z nich stosuje w swoim tekście, ponieważ w takich przypadkach zawsze istnieje możliwość, że ta czy inna nazwa przekazywać będzie również treści wykraczające poza czystą funkcję oznaczenia. Na podstawie Kroniki parafii Zawada Ks. – w oryginale: Chronik der Pfarrei Zawada Ks. – spisanej w okresie powojennym przez dwujęzycznego proboszcza parafii i zawierającej relacje z okresu do 1957 r., artykuł przedstawia, …
OnabotulinumtoxinA Modulates Visual Cortical Excitability in Chronic Migraine: Effects of 12-Week Treatment
2022
Chronic migraine is a burdensome disease presenting with episodic pain and several symptoms that may persist even among headache attacks. Multisensory integration is modified in migraine, as assessed by the level of the perception of sound-induced flash illusions, a simple paradigm reflecting changes in cortical excitability which reveals to be altered in migraineurs. OnabotulinumtoxinA is an effective preventive therapy for chronic migraineurs, reducing peripheral and central sensitization, and may influence cortical excitability. Patients affected by chronic migraine who started onabotulinumtoxinA preventive therapy were included. Clinical effects (headache diaries and migraine related qu…
