Volume di attività operatoria per medico e tempestività di esecuzione di intervento chirurgico a seguito di frattura del collo del femore nell’anzian…
2013
Introduzione: La valutazione della qualità dell’assistenza rappresenta un ambito di investigazione di primaria importanza. Nell’ambito delle diverse dimensioni che caratterizzano la qualità complessiva dell’assistenza sanitaria, uno degli elementi cruciali è dato dall’efficacia tecnica dei trattamenti. È noto come le misure di efficacia dei trattamenti possano essere costruite relativamente a diversi aspetti tra i quali la dotazione di personale e i volumi di attività. Obiettivo: Il presente studio ha l’obiettivo di analizzare la relazione tra uno degli indicatori di processo ad oggi in uso nell’ambito della regione Sicilia per la valutazione della performance aziendale, qual è la tempestiv…
Acute toxicity tests using earthworms to estimate ecological quality of compost and digestate
2017
Ecological quality of compost and digestate, used as fertilizers for agricultural use, was assessed through an acute ecotoxicological bioassay testing the earthworm Eisenia fetida (Annelida). The test evaluates the earthworm’s attitude to dig within 15 min into a soil medium constituted by a mixture of a standardized soil and different concentrations of compost/digestate. According to different classes of behavior responses, the sample is classified as good or bad quality (ON/OFF). The validity of this test was confirmed comparing the observations with the results from a standard chronic test developed by OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). Considering samples fro…
Economic evaluation of health services costs during pandemic influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 infection in pregnant and non-pregnant women in Spain (2009)
2016
Background: The healthcare and socio-economic burden resulting from influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 in Spain was considerable. Our aim was to estimate and compare the management (resource utilization) and economic healthcare impact in an at-risk group of unvaccinated pregnant women with an unvaccinated group of non-pregnant woman of childbearing age (15-44 yr old). Methods: We addressed this question with a longitudinal, observational, multicentre study. Inputs were the require-ments in managing both groups of women. Outcome measures were healthcare costs. Direct healthcare (including medical utilisation, prescriptions of antivirals, medication, diagnostic tests, and hospitalisation) costs and ind…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
1993
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés ¿La educación sanitaria es lo mismo que la educación para la salud? ¿Qué factores hay que tener en cuenta al configurar un plan de estudios para la educación de la salud? ¿Es necesario tratar asuntos de salud tales como higiene, vacunaciones, etc., para desarrollar este tipo de educación para las escuelas? Estas son solo algunas de las preguntas que se plantean y se muestra el uso de fuentes que determinan un plan de estudios, como en el caso específico de Alimentación-Nutrición. ESP
Condiciones de trabajo y salud de los trabajadores inmigrantes en España: revisión bibliográfica
2014
Fundamentos: La relación entre inmigración, trabajo y salud constituye uno de los retos más importantes en salud laboral y más concretamente en España por el importante incremento de proporción inmigrante acontecido en el mercado laboral. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer la relación entre las condiciones de trabajo y sus efectos en la salud de trabajadores inmigrantes en España. Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica de artículos científicos originales en español e inglés Medline y Medes (1998-2012). Se revisaron los textos completos de los artículos incluidos. Resultados: Se incluyeron 20 estudios, 13 con metodología de investigación cuantitativa y 7 cualitativa. Los temas tratados ab…
Análisis de la percepción del Consentimiento Informado de la cirugía y de la anestesia por pacientes de cirugía otorrinolaringológica
2021
INTRODUCCIÓN: La atención sanitaria tiene como elemento clave la relación médico-paciente que debe ser individualizada y personalizada. El derecho del paciente a la información sobre la enfermedad y el tratamiento que se le propone es expresión de su derecho de Autonomía. La obligatoriedad de recabar Consentimiento Informado ante todo procedimiento asistencial garantiza su cumplimiento. La información facilitada por el médico debe incluir los riesgos, beneficios y alternativas del tratamiento y debe ser ajustada a las necesidades y capacidades del paciente para permitirle una toma de decisiones autónoma. La revisión de la legalidad y jurisprudencia sobre este tema ayudan al médico a conocer…
The fouling phenomenon in membrane bioreactors: Assessment of different strategies for energy saving
2013
Abstract Membrane fouling represents one of the major issues for a membrane bioreactor (MBR). Membrane fouling and high aeration requirements (for inducing shear stress to limit fouling) make MBR operation economically demanding due to high energy costs. Although several studies on MBR fouling have been performed, comprehensive knowledge on how to reduce membrane fouling and consequently save energy is still lacking. An integrated mathematical model for MBR is applied to a University of Cape Town membrane bioreactor with the final aim to reduce the energy costs. In particular, the influence of the aeration intensity, the duration of filtration/backwashing cycles, and the number of membrane …
Early-stage thermal performance design of thermo-active walls implemented in underground infrastructures
2022
Abstract Energy geostructures (EGs) represent an innovative technology in the sustainable energy agenda and are useful for satisfying the energy needs of the built environment. They are usually involving geostructures such as piles, walls, tunnels, shafts, and sewers. The application of such technology to infrastructure projects may have considerable thermal potential because of the large surfaces that can be thermally activated. This study focuses on thermo-active walls (energy walls, EWs), which are retaining structures used to sustain the sides of excavations. Key features related to their thermal design are examined, and a design methodology is proposed. The heat-exchange modes involvin…
An integrated model for biological and physical process simulation in membrane bioreactors (MBR).
2011
Abstract Mathematical modelling of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for wastewater treatment has targeted either the biological processes (treatment quality target) as well as various aspects of system management. However, the high number of interactions among the involved physical–chemical processes, hampers a straightforward mathematical modelling. This circumstance is much more emphasized for submerged MBR systems where the membrane is immersed in an aeration tank. One of the main crucial points that prevents a comprehensive understanding is the interpretation of the fouling phenomenon and its connections with the biological processes. An overall mathematical model for MBR has not been comple…
A Graphical User Interface as a DSS Tool for GHG Emission Estimation from Water Resource Recovery Facilities
2017
A Grafical User Interface (GUI) for the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from WWTPs based on four models aimed at quantifying the gas emissions from the aerated tanks (i.e. CAS and MBR reactor), aerobic digesters, secondary clarifiers and anaerobic digesters have been englobed in a GUI in order to provide a valid decision support system (DSS) to the practitioners. The GUI allows to estimate such emissions for the different WWTP phases considered. The GUI has been developed on MATLAB platform and provides as output the GHG emissions in terms of CO2 and N2O fluxes.
