The Value of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) for Sepsis Diagnosis and Prognosis.
2021
Sepsis represents an important global health burden due to its high mortality and morbidity. The rapid detection of sepsis is crucial in order to prevent adverse outcomes and reduce mortality. However, the diagnosis of sepsis is still challenging and many efforts have been made to identify reliable biomarkers. Unfortunately, many investigated biomarkers have several limitations that do not support their introduction in clinical practice, such as moderate diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, long turn-around time, and high-costs. Complete blood count represents instead a precious test that provides a wealth of information on individual health status. It can guide clinicians to early-identify …

Has Multiculturalism Failed in Europe? Migration Policies, State of Emergency, and Their Impact on Migrants’ Identities in Italy
2014
This chapter analyzes migration policies in Italy within the larger frame of the debate on multiculturalism and its failure in Europe. The first part focuses on the exceptional flow of migrants that after the recent conflicts in Northern Africa was directed toward Europe across the Italian coast. The emergency raised issues for the defense of territories, social security, and preservation of identity. The author demonstrates the inefficiency of the Italian migration and emergency policies that has been adopted at the arrival of undocumented migrants from Northern Africa in 2011. The chapter uses the case of Italy to show the weakness of Europe in developing effective forms of coexistence an…
Le burn-out en réanimation : évaluation, prévention et dispositifs d’intervention
2020
Les professionnels de réanimation sont confrontés de façon répétitives et intenses à de nombreux facteurs de stress les rendant plus vulnérables au développement d’un burn-out. Le burn-out constitue le stade final d’une rupture d’adaptation suite à un déséquilibre entre les exigences professionnelles et les ressources de l’individu. Il affecte directement la santé mentale et physique des professionnels et est associé à une diminution de la qualité et de la sécurité des soins et à une augmentation des départs des professionnels les plus expérimentés pour d’autres services. En réanimation de nombreuses études ont été menées sur les professionnels et les organisations lancent des appels à l’ac…
Darba slodzes ietekme uz kognitīvām spējām anestēzijas, intensīvās un neatliekamās terapijas māsām
2019
Latvijā māsu trūkums ir nopietna problēma. Pēc Māsu Asociācijas statistikas datiem, Latvijā no 18 700 māsām strādā tikai 8750 , kas nozīmē, ka visa darba slodze tiek sadalīta starp strādājošo māsu skaitu, kas izraisa pārslodzi māsu vidū. Pēc definīcijas, anestēzijas un intensīvās aprūpes māsām ir jāspēj veikt pacientu aprūpi pirms un pēc operācijas, sekot pacienta stāvoklim, spēt reaģēt akūtās situācijās un sniegt pirmo neatliekamo palīdzību un papildus māsas pamatspecialitātes pienākumi , kuru dēļ var būt pārslodze un kognitīvo spēju samazināšanās, kā arī izveidoties izdegšanas sindroms.
Creatinine and NT-ProBNP levels could predict the length of hospital stay of patients with decompensated heart failure.
2021
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome that causes high morbidity and mortality with a high number of admissions and sometimes prolonged admissions. This study aimed at assessing whether parameters detected during the first 24 h of admission may predict a prolonged hospital stay in patients admitted to hospital for decompensated HF.From January 2016 to December 2019, 2359 admissions of decompensated HF were recorded. In-hospital transfers,Univariate differences were found at admission in NT-ProBNP, creatinine, history of cardiac surgery, smoking and alcoholism, left and right ventricular ejection fraction, systolic blood pressure and heart rate. The ROC analysis showed significant areas …
Laboratory testing in the emergency department: an Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology (SIBioC) and Academy of Em…
2018
Abstract Background: The mainstay of patient-oriented laboratory testing in emergency settings entails selecting a number and the type of tests according to valid criteria of appropriateness. Since the pattern of urgent tests requesting is variable across different institutions, we designed a joined survey between the Academy of Emergency Medicine and Care (AcEMC) and the Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology (SIBioC) for reaching tentative consensus about the most informative diagnostic tests in emergency settings. Methods: A survey, containing the most commonly ordered urgent laboratory tests and the relative clinical indications, was disseminated to eigh…
