Lopinavir/ritonavir and darunavir/cobicistat in hospitalized covid-19 patients: Findings from the multicenter italian corist study
2021
Background: Protease inhibitors have been considered as possible therapeutic agents for COVID-19 patients.Objectives: To describe the association between lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) or darunavir/cobicistat (DRV/c) use and in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients.Study Design: Multicenter observational study of COVID-19 patients admitted in 33 Italian hospitals. Medications, preexisting conditions, clinical measures, and outcomes were extracted from medical records. Patients were retrospectively divided in three groups, according to use of LPV/r, DRV/c or none of them. Primary outcome in a time-to event analysis was death. We used Cox proportional-hazards models with inverse probability of…
La memoria bruciata. L'Archivio dell'Ospedale Grande di Palermo
2019
Il 18 aprile 1593 un incendio di probabile natura dolosa colpì l'archivio dell'Ospedale grande e nuovo di Palermo, collocato a piano terra di palazzo Sclafani. Nei decenni successivi l'archivio fu più volte riordinato, subì tuttavia ulteriori deterioramenti a causa di eventi bellici, trasferimenti, incuria nella conservazione. Per ricostruire la storia dell'Ospedale grande e nuovo di Palermo, entrato in funzione nel 1442 a partire dall'aggregazione di piccoli enti assistenziali preesistenti, abbiamo dunque a disposizione una documentazione discontinua, custodita da enti diversi in luoghi diversi. I primi capitoli dell'ospedale (1431) per esempio, furono conservati dall'istituzione presso cu…
Prima della riforma ospedaliera. Il sistema assistenziale di Palermo dai Normanni agli Aragonesi (XI-XV secolo)
2019
Il saggio ricostruisce le origini del sistema assistenziale palermitano nei secoli precedenti la riforma ospedaliera quattrocentesca. Attraverso la rilettura di fonti edite e l'utilizzo di documenti inediti, si rivedranno gli assunti di una storiografia erudita spesso non verificata. Seguendo le molteplici fasi vissute dalla città nel corso dei secoli, verranno distinte le realtà caritative legate all'arrivo e allo stabilizzarsi del potere normanno (secoli XI-XII) da quelle successive (secoli XIII-XV), frutto di dinamiche politiche, sociali e culturali del tutto differenti The essay reconstructs the origins of the Palermo assistance system before the Fifteenth-century hospital reform. Throu…
Mapping temporally-variable exposure to flooding in small Mediterranean basins using land-use indicators
2011
Abstract This article deals with mapping exposure (or external vulnerability) to flood risk in two typical Mediterranean ephemeral streams: the Barranco de Carraixet and the Rambla de Poyo. The floodplains of both streams are within the metropolitan area of the city of Valencia (Spain’s third largest city). Following the Mediterranean model, they are very fertile areas (with intense periurban and highly productive agriculture) which have recently absorbed the great urban expansion of the metropolis. Hydrologically these basins remain dry for most of the year, but become particularly dangerous during flash-flood events. They generate a risk pattern highly dependent on exposure since, in gene…
Islands Tourism Seasonality
2014
The islands of the European Union, generally associated with the sun and sea, attract the great majority of tourist flows in the summer months. This characteristic is shared by all the islands, be they in the Mediterranean or in the Baltic. However, through detailed analysis and the use of specific indicators, it was demonstrated that some islands are increasingly developing winter tourism in an effort to improve the annual occupancy rate of beds and mitigate seasonality curves. This study examines some islands that are located in different seas of the European Union, at different latitudes and hence in different climatic zones. These islands are: Cyprus (CY), Sicily (IT), Madeira (PT), and…
Il tesoriere e i poveri. La fondazione quattrocentesca dell'ospedale di Santa Maria di Monserrato a Messina
2016
Prima della riforma quattrocentesca che avrebbe visto l'accorpamento in un unico ente assistenziale, a Messina tanti piccoli ospedali avevano garantito a una vasta gamma di disagiati cure e assistenza. Tra questi, l'ospedale di Santa Maria di Monserrato, la cui fondazione è legata alle volontà testamentarie dell'intraprendente Nicolò Castagna, personaggio tra i più interessanti della dinamica società messinese, che da mercator riusciva a scalare i vertici e diventare viceré. L'articolo ricostruisce il contesto in cui avvenne la fondazione e ne segue le vicende, condizionate dalla reazione degli eredi di Nicolò, intenzionati a rivendicare beni e proprietà dell'avo: Castagna peraltro in vita …
Imbalance of Power: Social Service Entrepreneurss Experiences of Entrepreneur-Municipality Relationship
2014
We investigate the complex dynamics between social service entrepreneurs and social sector managers through the lens of network metaphor, utilizing our data on social service entrepreneurs’ experiences of cooperation with municipalities. We examine what kinds of dependencies exist in the entrepreneur–municipality relationships and what kind of consequences these dependencies have on social service businesses run by entrepreneurs. Basing on the social service entrepreneurs experience, our findings suggest that while the cooperation with the municipality represents a prerequisite for success, their business represent only one alternative for the renewal of social service structures from the p…
Els Practicants de la medicina en la creació del Regne de València (1238-1300)
2009
The figure of king Jaume I the Conqueror is well-known, but few times his fundamental role when dealing with the first sanitary policies has been raised. Medicine, at the height of the 13th century, was experiencing a principal transformation that would mark its evolution during all the late Middle Ages. King Jaume I constituted progressively a model of doctor linked to university, and, at the same time, he favoured the establishment of a good number of medical assistants on valencian lands, which had just been conquered. Moreover, he created the first institutions dedicated to watch over the public health of the new Valencian society
El metge sota sospita: actuació mèdica en els testimonis pericials a ferits davant la cort del justícia criminal de la ciutat de València (1396)
2011
Taking its cue from a case tried at the court of the «Justícia Criminal» of the city of Valencia at the end of the fifteenth century, the article studies the influential rôle that the professionals of medicine played in the de-cisions arrived at in late medieval courts of justice. From the claim for medical expenses by the victim of an injury and the analysis of the attitudes of the various people involved in the trial -plaintiff, accused, and witness-es-, it works out what kind of medical as-sistance Valencians sought, how they valued the prestige and assessed the competence of the doctor, and what made them choose or reject one or another physician or surgeon, either as healer or as witne…
