Timing, Complications, and Safety of Tracheotomy in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19
2021
Importance: The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to unprecedented needs for invasive ventilation, with 10% to 15% of intubated patients subsequently requiring tracheotomy. Objective: To assess the complications, safety, and timing of tracheotomy performed for critically ill patients with COVID-19. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective cohort study assessed consecutive patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) who had COVID-19 that required tracheotomy. Patients were recruited from March 16 to April 10, 2020, at a tertiary referral center. Exposures: A surgical tracheotomy was performed for all patients following recommended criteria for use…
Ventilación mecánica no invasiva en pre e intraoperatorio y vía aérea difícil
2015
Non-invasive mechanical ventilation is a method of ventilatory assistance aimed at increasing alveolar ventilation, thus achieving, in selected subjects, the avoidance of endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation, with the consequent improvement in survival. There has been a systematic review and study of the technical, clinical experiences, and recommendations concerning the application of non-invasive mechanical ventilation in the pre- and intraoperative period. The use of prophylactic non-invasive mechanical ventilation before surgery that involves significant alterations in the ventilatory function may decrease the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications. …
Häälehtien nais- ja mieskuva
2011
Pro gradu -tutkielma käsittelee häälehtien nais- ja mieskuvaa. Tarkastelun kohteena on kaksi suomalaista häälehteä, Häät ja Mennään naimisiin, joiden sana-aineiston perusteella kartoitetaan sitä, miten naisista ja miehistä lehdissä puhutaan. Ensisijaisen mielenkiinnon kohteena ovat naisiin ja miehiin viittaavat nimitykset sekä heitä kuvailevat adjektiivit ja partisiipit. Tutkimusta taustoittavat erilaiset kriittisen tekstintutkimuksen teoriat, jotka toisaalta ohjaavat kiinnittämään huomiota tekstin sananvalintoihin, toisaalta käsittelemään sanoja osana niiden laajempia käyttöyhteyksiä, konteksteja. Odotuksenmukaisesti häälehdistä piirtyy kuva varsin morsiankeskeisenä mediana. Tähän vaikutta…
Antimicrobial consumption and antimicrobial resistance: A snapshot of an Italian neuromuscular rehabilitation center
2017
The paper presents a snapshot of the incidence of antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms and antimicrobial consumption in an Italian rehabilitation center over a two-year period (2014-2015). Data on microorganism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were obtained from the diagnostic laboratory of the hospital. A set of indicators was assessed, including the incidence density of resistant isolates per 1000 patient-days (IDRI). Data on antimicrobial consumption, semi-annually, obtained from the hospital pharmacy, were expressed as Defined Daily Dose (DDD) per 1000 patient-days. The most frequently isolated microorganism was Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.3%), and a significant i…
Trends, risk factors and outcomes of health care associated infections within the Italian network SPIN-UTI
2013
Summary Background Implementing infection control measures in light of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) surveillance data can prevent HAIs. Surveillance has been associated with a reduction of HAI in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, though the reasons for this improvement remain unclear. Aim To evaluate changes in healthcare-associated infection (HAI) rates during three surveys of the Italian Nosocomial Infections Surveillance in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) network (SPIN-UTI) six-year project and to explore sources of variation of indicators of HAI in the 65 participating ICUs. Methods The SPIN-UTI network adopted the European protocols for patient-based HAI surveillance. Cumulative…
The Rotavirus Vaccine Landscape, an Update
2021
Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe acute childhood gastroenteritis, responsible for more than 128,500 deaths per year, mainly in low-income countries. Although the mortality rate has dropped significantly since the introduction of the first vaccines around 2006, an estimated 83,158 deaths are still preventable. The two main vaccines currently deployed, Rotarix and RotaTeq, both live oral vaccines, have been shown to be less effective in developing countries. In addition, they have been associated with a slight risk of intussusception, and the need for cold chain maintenance limits the accessibility of these vaccines to certain areas, leaving 65% of children worldwide unvaccinated and …
El mundo vegetal en la mitología clásica y su representación artística
2005
La representación artística de los contenidos de la mitología clásica ofrece innumerables temas de estudio entre los que se encuentra la presencia del mundo vegetal. A partir de las referencias literarias de la Antigüedad, enriquecidas e interpretadas especialmente desde el siglo XVI, el presente artículo explica cómo un buen número de árboles, plantas y flores se convirtieron en atributos de dioses y héroes, bien como símbolo de sus virtudes o de sus actividades.

Les images de la vie terrestre de la Vierge dans l'art mural (peintures et mosaïques) en France et en Italie : des origines de l’iconographie chrétie…
2012
This thesis is devoted to wall images of the Virgin’s earthly life, an iconographic sequence composed of the young Mary’s history and episodes from Christ’s life which are related to the Virgin, until Pentecost. This research comes within the extended framework from the early Christian art to the Council of Trent. It is based on an abundant iconographic documentation which includes more than 2300 pictures, wall paintings and mosaics, preserved in France and Italy. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the quantitative analysis of the iconographic documentation, according to a triple point of view. A thematic analysis identifies three phases in the chronological sequence of the Virgin…
