Infected persons by the fact of a public organism : is a fair compensation by the community realistic ? A graph-theory pproach
1999
The paper focuses on indirectly infected persons (persons infected by a person, infected by a person, etc., itself infected by a public organism, for AIDS, hepatitis C, etc.). It is assumed that fairness implies the national community to indemnify them. Graph theory is used to explain what is indirect infection. The concept of chains of infection, and their length is central. Re-infections are considered also because even individuals that are initially infected by another cause could become later indirectly infected by the public agent. The number of persons to be indemnified is larger than for direct infection, so the cost of compensation is higher, unless if compensation per capita is low…

[Comparing two different techniques to assess the appropriateness of admissions provided in the emergency room of a pediatric hospital].
2007
Two different techniques aimed to assess the appropriateness of hospital utilisation were used to study the same sample of clinical records of admissions provided during 2001 by the emergency room of a pediatric sicilian hospital. The first technique estimated the '"high risk of inappropriateness" DRGs prevalence, according to the Decreto del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri of 29 Novembre 2001, and the second was the pediatric version of the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP), based on clinical characteristics of patients and complexity of assistance provided. The comparison of results did not show any agreement between the two techniques (kappa= 0,031, C. I. 95%: from -0,001 t…
Patterns of inter- and intra-regional differences in human capital and earnings : Evidence from Finland and Sweden 1987–2015
2021
In this paper, we examine the long-term patterns of geographical disparities in human capital and income in Finland and Sweden over the period 1987–2015. Using nationwide longitudinal population register data, we analyze disparities at different spatial scales, between and within functional labor market regions determined by observed travel-to-work patterns. Contrary to the findings from many other developed economies indicating inter-regional divergence in per capita income, we find indications of inter-regional convergence in per capita earnings among the functional labor market regions in both countries after 2000. However, small, and peripheral regions have not recovered from the macroe…
Muscle Function Differences between Patients with Bulbar and Spinal Onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Does It Depend on Peripheral Glucose?
2021
Background: One of the pathogenic mechanisms of ALS disease is perturbed energy metabolism particularly glucose metabolism. Given the substantial difference in the severity and the prognosis of the disease, depending on whether it has a bulbar or spinal onset, the aim of the study was to determine metabolic differences between both types of ALS, as well as the possible relationship with muscle function. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, analytical, quantitative, and transversal study was carried out in hospitals and Primary Care centers in the region of Valencia, Spain. Fasting glucose and alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels in venous blood, muscle percentage, fat percentage, muscle streng…
Epidemiology and outcomes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections in intensive care unit patients: the EUROBACT-2 international cohort study.
2023
Purpose: In the critically ill, hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) are associated with significant mortality. Granular data are required for optimizing management, and developing guidelines and clinical trials. Methods: We carried out a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥ 18 years of age) with HA-BSI treated in intensive care units (ICUs) between June 2019 and February 2021. Results: 2600 patients from 333 ICUs in 52 countries were included. 78% HA-BSI were ICU-acquired. Median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was 8 [IQR 5; 11] at HA-BSI diagnosis. Most frequent sources of infection included pneumonia (26.7%) and intravascular catheters…
Does Airbnb Disrupt the Private Rental Market? An Empirical Analysis for French Cities
2019
This article evaluates whether Airbnb rentals affect the rents in the private rental sector in eight cities in France. We estimate a hedonic equation for each city on individual data for apartments, allowing for heteroscedasticity and spatial error autocorrelation of unknown forms and using a large variety of structural and contextual characteristics of the apartments. We show that the density of Airbnb rentals puts upward pressure on rents in Lyon, Montpellier, and Paris, whereas it has no significant effect in other cities. If we restrict the analysis to the professional business of Airbnb rentals, which we define as the lodgings owned by an investor who rents either several “entire home…
Pedagogía Hospitalaria. Hacia el diseño de una propuesta de competencias específicas para la formación docente.
2016
En la presente Tesis Doctoral ponemos de manifiesto cuáles son las competencias específicas que en materia de Pedagogía Hospitalaria deberían adquirir los futuros maestros, al objeto de dar una respuesta educativa eficaz a las demandas psicoeducativas y emocionales que presentan los niños hospitalizados antes, durante y después de la irrupción de la enfermedad en sus vidas. Para ello, es fundamental conocer la relevancia que la Pedagogía Hospitalaria tiene actualmente en la formación de los futuros maestros, teniendo en cuenta que la atención educativa de los niños enfermos no es tarea exclusiva de quienes desarrollan su trabajo en las Unidades Pedagógicas Hospitalarias, sino de todos los m…
Las aulas hospitalarias en España. Un estudio comparado de las comunidades autónomas de Andalucía, Extremadura, Madrid, País Vasco y Comunidad Valenc…
2017
La presente Tesis Doctoral ha brindado la oportunidad de dar a conocer los Programas de Atención Educativa Hospitalaria y sus Aulas Hospitalarias y, los Servicios de Atención Educativa Domiciliaria. Es decir, cómo se desarrolla la acción educativa dentro del ámbito hospitalario y domiciliario. El derecho a la educación que tienen todos los niños está reflejado en tratados internacionales y, se lleva a cabo con el alumnado enfermo y/o convaleciente mediante estos Servicios. El diseño metodológico empleado se ha fundamentado en un análisis comparativo siguiendo a autores como Lê Thàn Khôi, J.L García Garrido o M. Manzón empleando diversas autonomías españolas como objeto de estudio siendo est…
