Tratamiento hipolipemiante en los pacientes con enfermedad cardiovascular de riesgo muy elevado. Documento de consenso SEC sobre las indicaciones de …
2021
Different primary and secondary prevention studies have documented that a greater degree of reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels is associated with a greater decrease in cardiovascular event rates. PCSK9 inhibitors achieve important, rapid and sustained decreases in LDL-C. New clinical practice guidelines for the management of dyslipidemia establish reduced target levels of LDL-C. These goals are hardly achievable with a statin-only treatment, even in combination with ezetimibe. The addition of PCSK9 inhibitors can play a determining role in achieving these recommendations. However, it is important to identify the patient subgroups that can most benefit from this …
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…
Closure to “New Theoretical Solution of Stage-Discharge Relationship for Slit Weirs” by Vito Ferro and Ismail Aydin
2018
In this paper, the flow-process of a slit weir was analyzed on the basis of a theorem of dimensional analysis and incomplete self-similarity theory. The theoretically deduced stage-discharge formula then was calibrated using experimental data obtained for a ratio between the weir and the channel width, ranging from 0.05 to 0.25. The deduced stage-discharge relationship allowed measuring discharge values characterized by errors that, for 98% of the measured values, were less than or equal to +/- 5%. The performance of the proposed theoretical stage-discharge formula also was improved by introducing the Reynolds number (for 98.5% of the measured values the error was less than or equal to +/- …
Beschimpfen, bedrohen, diskriminieren: Sprache als Verbrechen?
2020
International audience; Das Recht lebt in der Sprache und im Diskurs. Handlungen wie beschimpfen, diskriminieren oder auch bedrohen, die heutzutage unter anderem in sozialen Netzwerken immer häufiger vorkommen und unter der Bezeichnung ‘Hate Speech’ subsumiert werden, sind dementsprechend Sprach-Handlungen und somit Gegenstand der Linguistikforschung. Ziel des Vortrags ist also, auf Grund unterschiedlichen Materials aus dem frankophonen Raum zu zeigen, wie Recht und Rechtsprechung damit umgehen und inwieweit pragma-semantische Grundkategorien zur Klärung solcher Fälle beitragen können. Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses steht die interpretatorische Arbeit sowohl des Linguisten als auch des Juris…
Large deep-seated gravitational slide off Ischia volcanic island, Eastern Tyrrhenian sea (Italy)
2014
Ischia island develops at the edge of the shelf area and represents the sub-aerial section of a larger, E-W trending volcanic ridge including others submerged or buried volcanic edifices. In the past decade the island’s offshore has been the object of extensive hydrographic and marine geophysical surveys that have shown the structural complexity of the undersea sections and have overall shown the importance of gravity failures in island’s evolution. In this paper we report a previously unreported deep-seated slump structure and associated surficial mass wasting phenomena which occur off Ischia south-western flank. Recently acquired hydrological and geophysical data lead to identify the morp…

Computation of run-up heights for landslide-generated tsunami. An attempt of hazard assessment in the North Sicily continental margin
2014
The North Sicily continental margin is a very active region located in a transitional area between the Sicilian- Maghrebian Chain to the south and the southern Tyrrhenian Sea to the north. Strong seismicity, active tectonics and volcanism, fluid escape, high sediment supply and widespread mass movements exposed this region to marine geohazards, with a potential for tsunami generation (e.g. Messina 1908, Stromboli 2004 events). In recent years, high resolution swath mapping and high resolution to high penetration seismic reflection profiles have been collected during several oceanographic cruises, in the frame of the MaGIC and CARG projects. Morphobatymetric and geoseismic analysis evidenced…
A scenario-based assessment of the tsunami hazard in palermo, northern sicily, and the southern tyrrhenian sea
2020
Palermo is a populous city situated on the northern coast of Sicily, bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea. This central part of the Mediterranean Sea features dramatic bathymetry, numerous subaqueous landslides and is also the epicentre to many subaqueous earthquakes. As such, the region is an area prone to tsunamis. This investigation uses the Cornell Multi-Grid Coupled Tsunami (COMCOT) tsunami modelling package to simulate five near-field landslides, and five near-field earthquakes regarded as worst-case credible scenarios for Palermo. The seismic simulations produced waves on a very small scale, the largest being c. 5 cm at its maximum height, and none of the earthquake-generated tsunami waves…
