Cambio de modelo asistencial en la atención al parto normal: aplicación en el paritorio de La Ribera
2017
Resumen Objetivo Valorar el conocimiento, el deseo de inclusion y la aplicacion, en el Hospital Universitario de La Ribera, de los protocolos de atencion al parto normal, valorando los motivos por los que no se aplican y el cumplimiento de la asistencia a actividades formativas preparto. Material y metodo Estudio descriptivo transversal. Realizacion de 186 encuestas mediante muestreo de conveniencia a gestantes que acudieron a control de bienestar fetal en el hospital entre 2014 y 2015. Se recogieron datos sobre conocimiento, deseo de inclusion y cumplimiento de protocolos, motivos de no cumplimiento y asistencia a actividades formativas. Se calcularon porcentajes e intervalos de confianza.…
Accompagner les professionnels de santé dans la révélation de l’erreur : de la révélation à soi à la révélation à l’autre
2018
Resume L’erreur fait partie d’une realite en medecine. Afin d’ameliorer les pratiques et la securite des soins, les professionnels sont amenes a s’inscrire dans une demarche de revelation de l’erreur. Toutefois, la litterature met en avant une reelle difficulte des professionnels a reveler leur erreur. Differents freins sont decrits, a la fois personnels, institutionnels et societaux. Mais l’erreur correspond egalement a une perte des reperes professionnels et confronte les soignants a des emotions intenses ou se melent honte et culpabilite. Dans le cadre de cet article, nous soulignerons les freins psychologiques a la revelation qui peuvent jouer un role dans la capacite du professionnel a…
Occupational physical heaviness and sitting as predictors of mortality: a 26-year follow-up

Il neonato con gli occhi socchiusi. La displasia ectodermica legata al gene TP63
2021
An Italian female newborn presented with cleft palate, erythroderma, desquamations, skin erosions, ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum, broad nasal root, short philtrum, thin vermillion border, maxillary hypoplasia, microstomia, microglossia, cupped ears, hypoplasia of the distal phalange of left index, widely spaced nipples and polythelia. The hallmarks of ankyloblepharon-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome (or Hay-Wells syndrome) as well as persistent scalp erosions led to exclude more frequent skin disorders like congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma or epidermolysis bullosa and to diagnose Hay-Wells syndrome by genetic analysis. Target sequencing of the tumour protein p63 (TP63) gene r…
Eawag-Soil in enviPath: a new resource for exploring regulatory pesticide soil biodegradation pathways and half-life data.
2017
Developing models for the prediction of microbial biotransformation pathways and half-lives of trace organic contaminants in different environments requires as training data easily accessible and sufficiently large collections of respective biotransformation data that are annotated with metadata on study conditions. Here, we present the Eawag-Soil package, a public database that has been developed to contain all freely accessible regulatory data on pesticide degradation in laboratory soil simulation studies for pesticides registered in the EU (282 degradation pathways, 1535 reactions, 1619 compounds and 4716 biotransformation half-life values with corresponding metadata on study conditions)…
TReND in Africa: Toward a Truly Global (Neuro)science Community
2020
TReND is a volunteer-scientist run charity dedicated to promoting research and education on the African continent. Focusing on neuroscience, we discuss approaches to address some of the factors that currently stifle Africa's scientific development and our experience in implementing them.
Health gains through loss frames: Testing the effectiveness of message framing on citizens' use of nutritional warnings.
2021
Abstract The aim of the present work was twofold: (i) to evaluate the effect of nutritional warnings and health-related packaging cues (nutrient claim and images of natural foods) on consumers' food choices, and (ii) to evaluate the influence of two types of messages (gain-framed and loss-framed) aimed at encouraging the use of such warnings and packaging cues on food choices. A total of 510 participants were recruited using an advertisement on Facebook and Instagram targeted at Uruguayan adult users. Participants were randomly allocated to one of three experimental groups: control (n = 167), loss-framed messages (n = 177) and gain-framed messages (n = 166). Then, they completed a choice-co…
Evolution of major non-HIV-related comorbidities in HIV-infected patients in the Italian Cohort of Individuals, Naïve for Antiretrovirals (ICONA) Fou…
2018
Objectives: The management of HIV disease is complicated by the incidence of a new spectrum of comorbid noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). It is important to document changes in the prevalence of NCDs over time. The aim of the study was to describe the impact of ageing on HIV markers and on the prevalence of NCDs in people living with HIV (PLWHIV) in the Italian Cohort of Individuals, Naïve for Antiretrovirals (ICONA) seen for care in 2004–2014. Methods: Analyses were conducted separately for a closed cohort (same people seen at both times) and an open cohort (all people under follow-up). We used the χ2 test for categorical factors and the Wilcoxon test for quantitative factors to compare pro…
Application of guidelines for the management of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in three prospective cohorts of HIV-monoinfected patients
2020
Objectives: Current guidelines recommend use of a diagnostic algorithm to assess disease severity in cases of suspected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We applied this algorithm to HIV-monoinfected patients. Methods: We analysed three prospective screening programmes for NAFLD carried out in the following cohorts: the Liver Disease in HIV (LIVEHIV) cohort in Montreal, the Modena HIV Metabolic Clinic (MHMC) cohort and the Liver Pathologies in HIV in Palermo (LHivPa) cohort. In the LIVEHIV and LHivPa cohorts, NAFLD was diagnosed if the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) was ≥ 248 dB/m; in the MHMC cohort, it was diagnosed if the liver/spleen Hounsfield unit (HU) ratio on abdomin…
Health risks and potential remedies during prolonged lockdowns for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020
Abstract As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, an increasing number of countries and territories are adopting restrictive measures based on physical (“social”) distancing, aimed at preventing human-to-human transmission and thereby limiting virus propagation. Nationwide lockdowns, encompassing mass quarantine under stay-at-home ordinances, have already been proven effective to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in some countries. Nevertheless, a prolonged homestay may also be associated with potential side effects, which may jeopardize people’s health and thus must be recognized and mitigated in a way without violating local ordinances. Some of the most important undesirable…
