Rapporto finale della campagna oceanografica âBANSIC 2014â
Obiettivi generali della campagna oceanografica sono stati lo studio delle relazioni tra le strutture oceanografiche a mesoscala (vortici verticali ed orizzontali, upwelling, ecc.) e le strutture spaziali dei fenomeni biologici relativi ai primi anelli della catena trofica (zooplancton, distribuzione e abbondanza di larve di piccoli pelagici e grandi pelagici), e lo sviluppo del dispositivo di Fishing Vessel Monitoring System denominato FOOS (Fishery Oceanography Observing System) da installare a bordo di imbarcazioni da pesca. In particolare, il campionamento di uova di acciuga Ăš finalizzato allâapplicazione del metodo DEPM (Daily Egg Production Method) per la stima dellâabbondanza dello stock riproduttore (SP2_WP1_AZ3_UO04). Il campionamento ittioplanctonico Ăš inserito anche nel piano di lavoro del progetto regionale MIPAF-FAO âMedSudMedâ (âAssessment and Monitoring of the Fishery Resources and the Ecosystems in the Straits of Sicilyâ). Infine, a supporto del progetto MEDIAS, Ăš stato anche effettuato un survey acustico in acque maltesi per la valutazione della biomassa delle popolazioni di acciuga e sardina
Perioperative Management of Hyperglycemia and Diabetes in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Perioperative hyperglycemia is common after cardiac surgery, reported in 60% to 90% of patients with diabetes and in approximately 60% of patients without history of diabetes. Many observational and prospective randomized trials in critically-ill cardiac surgery patients support a strong association between hyperglycemia and poor clinical outcome. Despite ongoing debate about the optimal glucose target, there is strong agreement that improved glycemic control reduces perioperative complications
Cardiac rehabilitation in very old patients: data from the Italian Survey onCardiac Rehabilitation-2008 (ISYDE-2008)--official report of the ItalianAssociation for Cardiovascular Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Using data from the Italian SurveY on carDiac rEhabilitation-2008
(ISYDE-2008), this study provides insight into the level of implementation of
cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in very old cardiac patients.
METHODS: Data from 165 CR units were collected online from January 28 to February
10, 2008.
RESULTS: The study cohort consisted of 2,281 patients (66.9 ± 11.8 years): 1,714
(62.4 ± 9.6 years, 78% male) aged<75 years and 567 aged ℠75 years (80.8 ± 4.5
years, 59% male). Compared with adults, a higher percentage of older patients
were referred to CR programs after cardiac surgery or acute heart failure and
showed more acute phase complications and comorbidity. Older patients were less
likely discharged to home, more likely transferred to nursing homes, or
discharged with social networks activation. Older patients had higher death rate
during CR programs (odds ratio = 4.6; 95% confidence interval = 1.6-12.9; p =
.004).
CONCLUSION: The ISYDE-2008 survey provided a detailed snapshot of CR in very old
cardiac patients
