Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – EU funding. Main funding source(s): EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND MINISTRY OF HEALTH, LATVIA Background. An increasing prevalence (PREV.) of noncomunicable diseases is a major public health concern in Latvia.

Objective. The aim was to analyze the PREV of cardiovascular RF identified in a epidemiological study in 2019-2020. To assess changes in RF prevalence, the results were compared to data from a simi…
Use of Combination Statin and Bile Acid Sequestrant Therapy to Treat Dyslipidemia
2015
Lipid management guidelines promulgated around the world continue to emphasize the need to reduce serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in order to reduce risk for acute cardiovascular events in both the primary and secondary prevention settings [1–3]. There is growing consensus that when it comes to LDL-C management, lower is better with no apparent lower limit that is discernible from current evidence, i.e., there is greater and greater benefit as LDL-C decreases with no apparent loss in safety [4–8]. Dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease (CAD) are widely prevalent throughout the world. Considerable effort continues to be focused on expanding the appropriate use o…
Availability of secondary prevention services after stroke in Europe: An ESO/SAFE survey of national scientific societies and stroke experts
2018
Background Recurrent stroke is associated with increased disability and cognitive impairment, but the availability of secondary prevention measures after transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke in Europe is uncertain. This limits prioritisation of investment and development of national stroke strategies. Methods National stroke representatives throughout Europe were surveyed. Consensus panels reported national data if available, or else expert opinion, estimating the availability of each intervention by quintiles of patients, dichotomised for analysis at 60%. Countries were classified into tertiles of gross domestic product per capita. Results Of 50 countries, 46 responded; 14/45 (31%) h…
Screening for Early Detection of Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease (Secondary Prevention): An Approach to Cost/Benefit and Cost/Effectiveness Anal…
1983
Classification of different types of preventive measures for ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been much debated. In the classical use of terms “primary prevention” (prevention of occurrence) includes removal of risk factors in otherwise healthy individuals, while the attempts to change diet and life style in the very early age, in order to avoid the acquisition of risk factors, has been called “preprimary prevention” or “early prevention.”

NONSTRUCTURAL SEISMIC PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION
2010
Il progetto di cooperazione internazionale finanziato nell’ambito del programma CoRI 2005/2006 dell’Ateneo di Palermo, ha visto coinvolte l’Università di Palermo e l’Università di Berkeley – USA, nella persona della Prof. Mary C. Comerio (Chair Department of Architecture). La prima fase del progetto è stata volta alla conoscenza dell’esperienza USA nella gestione degli edifici scolastici per potere riversare nella realtà italiana significativi apporti. La seconda fase del progetto ha previsto occasioni di confronto diretto con duplici finalità, sia di ricerca che di formazione didattica. Tra le varie attività previste nell’ambito di questa occasione, è stato organizzato un workshop in cui s…
Prevenzione e riabilitazione sismica degli elementi non-strutturali. Vulnerabilità e misure di prevenzione per il patrimonio architettonico del XX se…
2010
Il contenimento dei danni agli elementi non-strutturali, perseguito con un’opportuna cultura della prevenzione già in fase progettuale, pur impegnando risorse in fase di realizzazione o di riabilitazione e di retrofitting, si traduce in un risparmio post-sisma. Inoltre, la funzionalità e l’operatività degli edifici si esplica attraverso il corretto funzionamento degli impianti e la stabilità di arredi, equipaggiamenti, finiture ed opere accessorie. Le tecniche di prevenzione e riabilitazione non possono prescindere dalla qualità realizzativa degli elementi costruttivi quale imprescindibile condizione di sicurezza ed affidabilità, e tradotta come idoneo impiego e consapevole scelta dei mater…
Driver training interests of a Spanish sample of young drivers and its relationship with their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavi…
2013
Abstract Poor driving self-assessment skills (e.g., over-confidence) have been pointed out as an important explanatory factor behind young drivers’ accident involvement. This paper explores (1) what young drivers miss in their training as drivers in order to analyze whether an assessment of one's own driving skills plays an important role in their desire to improve as drivers, and (2) how these training interests are related to an estimate of their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavior. For this purpose, a study was conducted using a survey with a blocked sampling design of novice drivers. The survey solicited respondents’ self-report about (1) the contents of training co…
Theoretical construct, method and working tool of the "preventive restoration". The electronic book for the prearranged maintenance of architectural …
2016
A restoration may constitute a positive moment to guarantee the conservation, transmission and a compatible use of an historical architecture, but it is often the result of a long and guilty omission of care, attesting a lack of interest in the architectural heritage we are late forced to heal with extensive and invasive interventions that, in most cases, could be prevented. Clear maintenance programs and a correct and well-planned preventive action could be sufficient to avoid unexpected interventions when it is too late; such simple concepts - apparently shared by everyone - however, remain relegated to a level of brainy attitudes or protocols that do not produce any advantage in terms of…
