A prospective randomized study comparing laparoscopic burch versus tvt. Short and long term follow-up.

2003

Objective: To report short and long-terms results of a prospective randomized laparoscopic Burch vs TVT for the treatment of stress incontinence (GSI). Methods: Since January 1999 to January 2003 we performed 66 LB and 67 TVT. In the LB group the mean age was 51years ( range 38–65), mean body weight 73 Kg.(range 48–88), mean parity 2,5 (range 1–5), menopause 38 (57,5%), while in the TVT group the mean age was 53years (range 37–72), mean body weight 70Kg. (range 46–84), mean parity 2,3 (range 1–4), menopause 19 (28,3%). All pts. preoperativelly underwent a complete urogynaecological work-up . All the pts. showed S.U.I. mean grade II (according to Ingelman Sundeberg) and urethra hypermobile. …

What happened to body-to-body sociability?

2013

This article aims to investigate how the body-to-body forms of sociability evolved from 1996 to 2009 simultaneously with the proliferation of ICTs in Europe and why this happened. The article also aims to find out how the socio-demographic profile of Europeans practising these forms developed in the same period of time. The analysis is based on two surveys carried out in Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain in 1996 (N = 6609) and 2009 (N = 7255). Results show that although the internal diffusion and frequency of the forms of communicative sociability changed, on the whole the amount of sociability has increased so slightly that it would be more appropriate to speak about rea…

Exergetic and exergoeconomic analysis of a renewable polygeneration system serving a small isolated community

2014

A great interest has been arising in the last decade for the sustainable supply of energy and fresh water, also due to the rapidly growing demand from developing countries. Facing this demand by traditional technologies and fossil energy sources implies evident difficulties and risks, because of the scarcity and high cost of fuels and their relevant environmental impact in terms of local pollution and global warming emissions. Then, the efforts of researchers have been focusing on alternative solutions, either based on the use of renewable energy sources and on innovative plant schemes for the combined and efficient production of several energy and material flows. In this paper an innovativ…

A novel solar trigeneration system integrating Photovoltaic/Thermal collectors and seawater desalination: dynamic simulation and economic assessment

2013

This paper investigates the integration of renewable energy sources and water systems, presenting a novel solar system producing simultaneously: electrical energy, thermal energy, cooling energy and domestic water. The polygeneration system under analysis includes photovoltaic/thermal solar collectors (PVT), a multi-effect distillation (MED) system for seawater desalination, a single-stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller and additional components, such as storage tanks, auxiliary heaters and balance of plant devices. The PVT produces simultaneously electrical energy and thermal energy, at a maximum temperature of about 100 °C. The electrical energy is delivered to the grid, whereas the thermal …

Preferential azido bridging regulating the structural aspects in cobalt(III) and copper(II)–Schiff base complexes: Syntheses, magnetostructural corre…

2011

International audience; A tridentate NNO donor Schiff base ligand [(1Z,3E)-3-((pyridin-2-yl)methylimino)-1-phenylbut-1-en-1-ol = LH] in presence of azide ions coordinates with cobalt(II) and copper(II) ions giving rise to three new coordination complexes [Co2(L)2(μ1,1-N3)2(N3)2] (1), [Cu2(L)2(μ1,3-N3)]·ClO4 (2) and [(μ1,1-N3)2Cu5(μ-OL)2(μ1,1-N3)4(μ1,1,1-N3)2]n (3). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis spectral studies, and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. These complexes demonstrate that under different synthetic conditions the azide ions and the Schiff base ligand (LH) show different coordination modes with cobalt(II) and copper(II) ions, givi…

Presence and characterisation of verotoxin producing E. coli in fresh Italian pork sausages, and preparation and use of an antibiotic-resistant strai…

2005

One hundred and twenty six samples of fresh pork sausages were analysed-for the presence of verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC). Selective enrichment followed by DNA extraction and PCR amplification of the stx1 and stx2 genes highlighted the occurrence of the above mentioned genes in 20 out of 126 samples screened. From the stx positive enriched cultures, isolation was performed on CT-SMAC agar plates after immuno-magnetic separation of E. coli O157. Fifty three non-sorbitol fermenting isolates were obtained and further characterised, along with the reference strain E. coli ATCC 35150(T). All the isolates were characterised by PCR assays, assessing the presence of stx1, stx2, rfbE(O15…

TVT-taitotasohankkeen arviointi

2012

Tässä tutkielmassa selvitetään tietotekniikan käyttöä nykypäivän opetuksessa sekä perehdytään TVT-taitotasohankkeeseen. TVT-taitotasohankkeen tarkoitus on määritellä riittävä TVT-taitotaso lukion opiskelijoille ja luoda testi, jolla TVT-taitotasoa mitataan. Tässä tutkielmassa selvitetään, kuinka hanke on onnistunut taitotason määrittämisessä ja TVT-testin luonnissa

Par labirintiem un Ariadnes pavedienu Labirinta iziešana kā garīgs rituāls daudziem no mums ir svarīgs arī tagadnē. Taču diez vai tas saista mūs ar senā iniciācijas rita nozīmi. Drīzāk mēs šodien saredzam tajā nevis ceļu, kas ved mūs no savas sākotnes zaudēšanas uz tās no jauna atrašanu, bet gan psiholoģisku iespēju kādu brīdi aizmirst par racionālu domāšanu, ļaujoties labirinta centrā esošās dvēseles balsij, citiem vārdiem, bezapzinātā vēstījumam jeb savai intuīcijai, vai gluži otrādi, pārbaudīt savu loģiku un orientēšanās spējas. Iespējams, vēl vienkāršāk – mūsdienu cilvēkam labirints ir vien veids, kā uz brīdi aizmirst par ikdienas stresu. Ne jau velti visbiežāk mūsdienu labirinti ir daļ…

Laparoscopic lymph node dissection should be performed before fertility preserving treatment of patients with cervical cancer

2012

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess our results of treatment of women with stage I cervical cancer > 2 cm in diameter seeking fertility preservation. Treatment consisted of Laparoscopic Pelvic and Paraaortic Lymphadenectomy (LPPLND), and when no nodal metastasis was detected, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT). Patients with positive lymph nodes underwent primary chemoradiation. Methods: A cohort of women younger than 40 years of age with stage I disease > 2 cm who underwent LPPLND and either NACT and RVT or chemoradiation. Oncological outcome was evaluated prospectively. Results: Eighteen women were eligible for this study. Twelve (67%…
