The Breast Size Satisfaction Survey (BSSS): Breast size dissatisfaction and its antecedents and outcomes in women from 40 nations
2020
The Breast Size Satisfaction Survey (BSSS) was established to assess women's breast size dissatisfaction and breasted experiences from a cross-national perspective. A total of 18,541 women were recruited from 61 research sites across 40 nations and completed measures of current-ideal breast size discrepancy, as well as measures of theorised antecedents (personality, Western and local media exposure, and proxies of socioeconomic status) and outcomes (weight and appearance dissatisfaction, breast awareness, and psychological well-being). in the total dataset, 47.5 % of women wanted larger breasts than they currently had, 23.2 % wanted smaller breasts, and 29.3 % were satisfied with their curr…
Actividad antioxidante y biodisponibilidad mineral de zumos de frutas adicionados de minerales y/o leche
2010
En los últimos años, la industria alimentaria ha incrementado su interés en el desarrollo de alimentos funcionales, siendo el enriquecimiento de bebidas a base de zumo de frutas con vitaminas y minerales uno de los métodos empleados. Esta estrategia persigue mejorar el estado nutricional de la población, o de grupos específicos de población y/o corregir posibles deficiencias en la ingesta diaria de vitaminas o minerales, debidas a cambios en los hábitos alimentarios. No obstante, se precisa un mayor conocimiento sobre las interacciones que puedan producirse entre los compuestos bioactivos de las bebidas a base de zumo de frutas y los minerales adicionados, o viceversa. Para ello, se estudia…

Analytical Performance Issues
2014
Contaminated hospital surfaces have been demonstrated to be an important environmental reservoir of microorganisms that can increase the risk of nosocomial infection in exposed patients. As a consequence, cleaning and disinfecting hospital environments play an important role among strategies for preventing healthcare-associated colonization and infections. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether adenosine triphosphate (ATP) presence, measured by bioluminescence methods, can predict microbiological contamination of hospital surfaces. The study was carried out between September and December 2012 at the University Hospital "P. Giaccone" of Palermo. A total of 193 randomly selected…
Co-colonization with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii in intensive care unit patients
2013
Objectives: This investigation was conducted to study co-colonization by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) and Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients in Palermo, Sicily, a geographic area where both organisms are endemic in the healthcare setting. Risk factors at admission and during ICU stay and outcomes were also evaluated. Methods: All patients colonized by KPC-Kp, or CRAB, or both in 2 ICUs of a large general hospital during the period October 2011 – March 2012 were enrolled. Demographics and clinical data were collected. Resistance determinants and clonality of the 2 organisms were characterized by mo…
Molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii in Iran: endemic and epidemic spread of multiresistant isolates
2014
Objectives We examined the molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from two cities (Tehran and Tabriz) of Iran. Methods DiversiLab repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (rep-PCR), multilocus sequence typing and sequence group multiplex PCR were performed. The presence of resistance mechanisms including metallo-β-lactamases, extended-spectrum β-lactamases, OXA carbapenemases, aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and RNA methylases was also investigated. Results DiversiLab rep-PCR identified 11 clusters and 11 singleton isolates. Twelve sequence types (STs), including six novel types, were identified. Sequence groups (SGs) 1-3 as well as five additional banding pattern…
Effetti dell'inquinamento sulla salute dell'uomo e dell'ambiente
2019
La salute e il benessere delle persone sono strettamente legati allo stato dell’ambiente. Un ambiente naturale di buona qualità, in termini soprattutto di aria e acqua pulite, gioca un ruolo di fondamentale importanza nella prevenzione di numerosi stati morbosi globalmente causa di milioni di morti ogni anno. Uno studio pubblicato dalla WHO (Preventing diseases through healthy environments) stima che, nel 2012, 12.6 milioni di morti in tutto il mondo, che rappresentano il 23% (95% CI: 13–34%) delle morti per tutte le cause, siano state attribuibili alla cattiva qualità dello stato dell’ambiente. Se si considerano sia le morti che le disabilità (DALY - Disability-Adjusted Life Years - indica…
