Can an Emergency Department Adequately Address an Older Adult who has Complex Needs?

Older adults account for a considerable percentage of all emergency departments (ED) patient encounters. Those with very complex needs or multiple co-morbid conditions often have lengthy ED evaluations culminating in admission, many of which are considered potentially avoidable. Provider and process elements can evolve to create efficient and more comprehensive geriatric assessments in ED. This paper describes an older adult with acute on chronic symptoms admitted through the ED to the Acute Care for Elders (ACE) inpatient unit. We illustrate how elements of the ACE model, when applied in the ED, may avoid hospitalization. We review the Domain Management Model as a useful technique for ED-based assessment of older adults with complex medical, functional, and social needs. Finally, we consider geriatric screening tools to promote broad evaluation and safer transitions of care for older adults

Intermedio and Chorus. Re-thinking Theories and Practices in Sixteenth-Century Italian Theatre

L'articolo mette a confronto le teorie fiorite nel corso del sedicesimo secolo sull'uso del coro e dell'intermedio nei tre generi teatrali dell'epoca (tragedia, commedia, favola pastorale). L'esame rivela che, lungi dall'uniformarsi agli asserti dei letterati pieni di riferimenti alle poetiche di Aristotele e Orazio, gli uomini di teatro paragonarono spesso l'intermedio al coro di ispirazione classica. La definizione di "coro intercalare" e di "coro istrione", avanzata da Ottavio Magnanini nel 1614, si pu\uf2 applicare alle tragedie di alcuni celebri autori del secolo precedente che accostarono il coro tragico all'intermedio, corrompendo in parte il ruolo drammatico del primo a favore della spettacolarit\ue0 del secondo. Le numerose eccezioni alle richieste di regolamentare il coro anche nella favola pastorale portarono a una fortunata sperimentazione che influenz\uf2 sia l'opera, sia i madrigali in genere rappresentativo di Claudio Monteverdi
