OUTCOMES OF ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH ST-ELEVATION OR NON-ST-ELEVATION ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME UNDERGOING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION

Acute coronary syndromes have been classified according to the finding of ST-segment elevation on the presenting ECG, with different treatment strategies and practice guidelines. However, a comparative description of the clinical characteristics and outcomes of acute coronary syndrome elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention during index admission has not been published so far

New Italian data on the distribution of Annex I Habitats are reported in this contribution. Specifically, 8 new occurrences in Natura 2000 sites are presented and 27 new cells are added in the EEA 10 km × 10 km reference grid. The new data refer to the Italian administrative regions of Apulia, Campania, Calabria, Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria, Sardinia, and Sicily

Nova mezofilna asociacija cerovih gozdov z gorovja Laga (centralna Italija)

The present paper aims at describing the Quercus cerris-dominated woodlands of the Laga mountains (central Apennines) in both the synecological and syntaxonomical way. Species composition and abundance, together with structural and abiotic parameters were recorded in 33 relevés distributed throughout the Laga massif. A new association of Quercus cerris woodlands, named Listero ovatae-Quercetum cerridis, is here proposed. The ecology and syn-chorology of this association are outlined. In syntaxonomical terms Listero-Quercetum cerridis behaves as an intermediate between Fagetalia sylvaticae and Quercetalia pubescenti-petraeae, being the dominant layer closer to Quercetalia communities and the herb layer to Fagetalia. For comparison a survey is provided of the most important Quercus cerris community types described throughout the whole Apennine chain using all published relevés (synoptic table).Pričujoči članek obravnava gozdne združbe s prevladujočim cerom (Quercus cerris) z območja hribovja Laga (srednji Apenini) tako v sinekološkem kot tudi sintaksonomskem pogledu. Na 33 popisnih ploskvah z različnih delov obravnavanega območja so bili narejeni fitocenološki popisi in poleg tega zabeleženi tudi nekateri strukturni in abiotski parametri. Med drugim je opisana nova združba cerovij (Listero ovatae-Quercetum cerridis ass. nova), orisani sta tudi nejni ekologija in sinhorologija. V sintaksonomskem pogledu leži novoopisana združba nekako med redovoma Fagetalia sylvaticae in Quercetalia pubescenti-petraeae, z vrstno strukturo drevesne in grmovne plasti bliže redu Quercetalia in floristično zgradbo zeliščne plasti z več značilnicami redu Fagetalia. V sinoptični tabeli je novoopisana združba primerjana z drugimi opisanimi cerovji s celotnega območja Apeninov

New floristic records for the Apennines with some biogeographical and phytosociological considerations

Abstract - New floristic records for the Apennines with some biogeographical and phytosociological considerations. This paper reports floristic records of plant species to be considered as new for the whole Apennines, the central Apennines and for some administrative Regions of Italy. The records are the result of several floristic inventories and phytosociological samplings carried out during the last twenty-five years in the Apennines, especially in the Lazio Region, and with particular reference to the Laga Mountains. Other field collections were performed in the Mainarde Mountains, Liri-Garigliano Plain, Aurunci Mountains, Sibillini Mountains, and Pollino massif. Special emphasis was given to the genera Alchemilla and Hieracium. The new floristic records presented in this paper can be summarized as follows: 6 species are new for the whole Apennines and 3 for the central Apennines. At regional level 17 species are new for Lazio, 3 species new for Abruzzo and 1 species new for Marche, Campania and Basilicata respectively. Finally, 14 additional species are hereby confirmed for the single administrative Regions

New bryological data from relict mires in the Gran Sasso-Laga National Park (Central Apennines) and their interpretation according to the EUNIS classification and Habitats Directive.

During a phytosociological field-work campaign aimed at studying some relict Scheuchzerio-Caricetea boreal mires of the montane and subalpine belts of the Laga Mountains, the highest and largest siliceous massif of the Apennine range, several bryophyte taxa of particular biogeographic interest were collected. Among these taxa, Schljakovia kunzeana and Ptychostomum cernuum were found to be new records for the whole Apennine range while Hamatocaulis vernicosus (taxon included in annex II of Habitats Directive) and Scorpidium cossonii as new for the Central-Southern Apennines. Two further species, Bryum canariense, Plagiomnium cuspidatum, were found to be confirmations of old records for the Central Apennines dating back to the early 1900s. At the national and regional level, nine, out of the forty-four bryophyte taxa identified in this study, were found to be new for the Lazio administrative Region, and one taxon as new for the Abruzzo Region. The majority of these new records belong to the boreal chorotype, the Laga Mountains being one of the most important conservation sites for the relict circumboreal and arctic-alpine flora in the whole Mediterranean area. According to both the EUNIS Habitat classification and the EU Habitats Directive Annex I, several, out of the 44 bryophytes identified in this study, act as diagnostic species for European Community Habitats. Nevertheless, a complete correspondence between bryophyte taxon and habitat type was not found upon comparing these two environmental policy systems
