Magnetic quantum criticality in quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet Cu(C4H4N2)(NO3)2
2016
We analyze exciting recent measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114 (2015) 037202] of the magnetization, differential susceptibility and specific heat on one dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet Cu(C4H4N2)(NO3)2 (CuPzN) subjected to strong magnetic fields. Using the mapping between magnons (bosons) in CuPzN and fermions, we demonstrate that magnetic field tunes the insulator towards quantum critical point related to so-called fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) at which the resulting fermion effective mass diverges kinematically. We show that the FCQPT concept permits to reveal the scaling behavior of thermodynamic characteristics, describe the experimental results quantitativ…
Validity and reliability of the checklist of non-verbal pain indicators in Albanian. First step
2018
Background: in Albania non ci sono strumenti affidabili per valutare la presenza di dolore nei pazienti non-verbalizzanti. L'obiettivo del nostro studio era di fornire una validazione linguistica della checklist in albanese per gli indicatori di dolore non verbale (CNPI). Metodi: dopo la traduzione inversa, abbiamo usato la versione albanese in uno studio trasversale per verificare sia l'affidabilità che la validità di questo strumento in contesti clinici. La Visual Analog Scale è stata adottata come gold standard. Sono stati usati anche il kappa di Cohen e il coefficiente di correlazione di Pearson. La validità costruttiva del CNPI è stata stabilita mediante l'analisi fattoriale esplorativ…
Triage protocol for allocation of critical health resources during the COVID-19 health emergency. A review
2020
Background and aim of the work:Triage during the Covid-19 pandemic can impose difficult allocation deci-sions when demand for mechanical ventilation or intensive care beds greatly exceeds available resources. Tri-age criteria should be objective, ethical, transparent, applied equitably and publically disclosed. The aim of this review is to describe the triage tools and process for critical care resources in a pandemic health emergency. Methods:A narrative review was conducted of the literature on five electronic databases, namely PubMed, CINHAL, Web of Science, Cochrane and Embase, searching for studies published from 2006 to June 2020. Results:The results describe different triage tools. A…
The Misdirection as Anxiety Reduction in Children from Venipuncture Procedure: A Randomized Study
2020
The current literature show several distraction approaches to reduce anxiety in children during the painful procedure, as the venipuncture. This work explored the magician intervention effects in anxiety and in pain reduction among children who underwent the venipuncture procedure. Our results showed that the magician approach among nurses could effectively influence the children compliance who underwent a venipuncture without any particular cost for the healthcare system.

Self-interacting dark matter and cosmology of a light scalar mediator
2015
We consider a fermionic dark matter candidate interacting via a scalar mediator coupled with the Standard Model through a Higgs portal. We consider general setting including both scalar and pseudoscalar interactions between the scalar and fermion, and illustrate the relevant features for dark matter abundance, direct search limits and collider constraints. The case where dark matter has a self-interaction strength $\left\langle \sigma_V \right\rangle/m_\psi \sim 0.1-1 \,\mathrm{cm}^2/\mathrm{g}$ is strongly constrained, in particular by the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We show that these constraints can be alleviated by introducing a new light sterile neutrino $N$. The allowed region for the e…
Psychopathology and female detention at the “Pagliarelli” jail of Palermo: preliminary results
2018
Most of the studies carried out on prisoners have considered male samples or they investigated specific psychiatric disorders. The present study aims to estimate the presence of current and lifetime psychiatric disorders among female inmates. Secondary aims are to evaluate the correlation between a current psychiatric disorder and other variables, and the association with a psycho-pharmacotherapy and a request for a clinical psychological interview. The study included 25 women with a final sentence at the “Casa Circondariale Pagliarelli” from October 2016 to July 2017. The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was used to assess the presence of any current or lifetime psychia…
The Occurrence of Diseases and Related Factors in a Center for Asylum Seekers in Italy
2016
Italy is the main recipient of asylum seekers in the European region, and Sicily is their first point of arrival. This geographical position creates a large job for Health Authorities to identify and deal with the health of immigrants. This study evaluates the prevalence of disease among asylum seekers, assessing which are associated factors.A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyse demographic and clinical data in an Acceptance Centres for Asylum Seekers from February 2012 to May 2013. All variables that were found to be significant on unvariable analysis for the most frequent pathologies were included in a multivariable logistic regression model.Post-traumatic stress disorders with…
ADDITIVE INTERACTION BETWEEN LIFETIME CANNABIS USE AND CHILDHOOD TRAUMA IN INCREASING THE RISK FOR PSYCHOSIS. A REPLICATION ANALYSIS ON A SAMPLE OF F…
2012
Background: Additive interaction between childhood trauma and cannabis use in increasing risk for psychotic disorders has been recently demonstrated in a prospective (Harley et al., 2009) and a cross sectional study (Konigs et al., 2011), although not replicated in another survey (Kuepper et al., 2011). This study aimed to analyse additive interaction between lifetime cannabis and severe child abuse in increasing the risk for psychosis in a sample of first episode psychosis patients and geographically matched controls. In addition, analyses were re-run separately for males and females in order to investigate whether the association was moderated by gender. Methods: The sample consisted of 2…
