The decision support system for telemedicine based on multiple expertise
1998
This paper discusses the application of artificial intelligence in telemedicine and some of our research results in this area. The main goal of our research is to develop methods and systems to collect, analyse, distribute and use medical diagnostics knowledge from multiple knowledge sources and areas of expertise. Use of modern communication tools enable a physician to collect and analyse information obtained from experts worldwide with the help of a decision support medical system. In this paper we discuss a multilevel representation and processing of medical data using a system which evaluates and exploits knowledge about the behaviour of statistical diagnostics methods. The presented te…
Acceptance and validity of the methods used to implement a competency based medical education programme in an Intensive Care Department of a teaching…
2021
Abstract Objectives 1. To determine the satisfaction of tutors and residents with a specific methodology used to implement CoBaTrICE. 2. To determine the reliability and validity of the global rating scales designed ad hoc to assess the performance of the residents for training purposes. Design Prospective cohort study. Participants All the residents and tutors of the ICU Department of the Hospital Universitario y Politecnico la Fe de Valencia. Intervention CoBaTrICE implementation started in March 2016, it was based on: (1) Training the tutors in feedback techniques; (2) Performing multiple objective and structured work based assessments to achieve the competences of the program; and (3) T…
Telephone Consultation
2016
The article by Martina Albrecht and her co-authors (1) addresses an important aspect of patient-oriented medical decision making in Germany: to what extent does the advice dispensed by the freely accessible telephone consultation services correspond with the evidence? In other words: Can people who turn to these services understand and trust the information they are given? Only six of 293 consultations fulfilled the criteria defined by the authors—on the face of it, an alarming outcome.
Migranti e forme di partecipazione politica: la consultazione elettronica
2012
L'introduzione delle nuove tecnologie della comunicazione e dell'informazione sta lentamente determinando una trasformazione della democrazia. Ad esempio, Internet può essere utilizzato come uno strumento di delocalizzazione, mediante il quale tutti i cittadini, parte attiva del processo comunicativo, possono riunirsi e discutere avendo cancellato i confini spazio-temporali. In questo ambito si colloca questo saggio, che vuole porre l'attenzione sul rapporto tra migranti e politica, e in particolare tra migranti e strumenti di consultazione elettronica.

2011
This chapter reflects on the role of the new media – the Internet and mobile communications – in facilitating alternative forms of public participation that involve citizens and migrants in the policy making. The e-consultation, in this way, becomes not only a means of investigation for informational purposes and data collection, but also a method to foster knowledge of the needs and perspectives of migrants to a given law or public intervention and, therefore, a realistic way that get informed foreigners too, to develop an alternative procedure of social and cultural integration.
Modelling of Orientational Ordering in Lipid Monolayers
1993
Lipid monolayers at high densities are modelled as rigid rods grafted to an interface at the sites of a regular lattice. The transition between the state where the rods are uniformly tilted to a disordered state with no (average) tilt is studied by computer simulation methods. For the one-dimensional model, the molecular dynamics approach is found much less suitable to equilibrate the system rather than Monte Carlo methods. Both in d=2 discretized versions of Monte Carlo codes are much more efficient than continuum Monte Carlo methods, in spite of huge storage requirements. While in d=l the transition occurs at temperature T=0 via the spontaneous creation of solitons, at d=2 a finite temper…
Citizen consultations on science communication: A citizen science approach
2021
La ciencia ciutadana forma part d’una tendencia cientifica i social mes amplia que promou el dialeg bidireccional i la implicacio dels cientifics i el public a forca d’involucrar la ciutadania en el proces d’investigacio. Aquest article examina els esforcos de CONCISE (un projecte internacional en el qual participen Espanya, Italia, Portugal, Polonia i Eslovaquia) per a comprendre, mitjancant consultes publiques, com adquireix i utilitza la informacio cientifica la ciutadania. Les consultes, celebrades en 2019, van incloure prop de 500 persones. CONCISE intenta posar la participacio de la ciutadania en el centre del proces d’investigacio demanant-li suggeriments sobre com millorar la comuni…
Do patients' and referral centers' characteristics influence multiple sclerosis phenotypes? Results from the Italian multiple sclerosis and related d…
2022
Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by phenotypical heterogeneity, partly resulting from demographic and environmental risk factors. Socio-economic factors and the characteristics of local MS facilities might also play a part. Methods This study included patients with a confirmed MS diagnosis enrolled in the Italian MS and Related Disorders Register in 2000–2021. Patients at first visit were classified as having a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing–remitting (RR), primary progressive (PP), progressive-relapsing (PR), or secondary progressive MS (SP). Demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed, with centers’ characteristics, geographic macro-ar…
P0322OUR EXPERIENCE IN ELECTRONIC CONSULTATION FOR REDUCING WAITING LIST AND OPTIMIZING NEPHROLOGY HEALTHCARE
2020
Abstract Background and Aims Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is recognized as a health problem in the general population; as a result, there is a growing demand for specialist services. This is especially relevant in the Spanish health system which covers the entire population free of charge. We describe our experience with new e-consultation software that allows specialists to provide clinical recommendations to primary care providers about non-subsidiary patients referred to our Nephrology Department. This system respects current protocols and is based on patient chart review without face-to-face visits, thus avoiding unnecessary time wastage in the healthcare system. Method Our Nephrology d…
Potential impact of a nonavalent HPV vaccine on HPV related low-and high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions: A referral hospital-based study in S…
2017
ABSTRACT While bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines have been used for about 10 years, a nonavalent vaccine against HPV types 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52 and 58 has been recently approved by FDA and EMA and is now commercially available. The objective of our study was to evaluate the potential impact of the nonavalent vaccine on HPV infection and related low- and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL, HSIL), compared to the impact of the quadrivalent vaccine, in a female population living in Sicily (Italy). Low estimates of HPV vaccine impact were calculated as prevalence of HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52 and 58 genotypes, alone or in association, but excluding presence of other HPV ty…
