Verso la costruzione di una biblioteca digitale.

A data base of the "Antonio Zampolli Fund" has been created and the respective catalogue has been published1. The work of analysis and selection of texts for cataloguing helped in creating this bibliography, in large part built on references extracted by books and journals. Very old bibliographical references have also been retrieved by curricula prepared by Professor Zampolli for various projects and commissions

COVID-19 in rheumatic diseases in Italy: first results from the Italian registry of the Italian Society for Rheumatology (CONTROL-19)

OBJECTIVES: Italy was one of the first countries significantly affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. The Italian Society for Rheumatology promptly launched a retrospective and anonymised data collection to monitor COVID-19 in patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), the CONTROL-19 surveillance database, which is part of the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance. METHODS: CONTROL-19 includes patients with RMDs and proven severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) updated until May 3rd 2020. In this analysis, only molecular diagnoses were included. The data collection covered demographic data, medical history (general and RMD-related), treatments and COVID-19 related features, treatments, and outcome. In this paper, we report the first descriptive data from the CONTROL-19 registry. RESULTS: The population of the first 232 patients (36% males) consisted mainly of elderly patients (mean age 62.2 years), who used corticosteroids (51.7%), and suffered from multi-morbidity (median comorbidities 2). Rheumatoid arthritis was the most frequent disease (34.1%), followed by spondyloarthritis (26.3%), connective tissue disease (21.1%) and vasculitis (11.2%). Most cases had an active disease (69.4%). Clinical presentation of COVID-19 was typical, with systemic symptoms (fever and asthenia) and respiratory symptoms. The overall outcome was severe, with high frequencies of hospitalisation (69.8%), respiratory support oxygen (55.7%), non-invasive ventilation (20.9%) or mechanical ventilation (7.5%), and 19% of deaths. Male patients typically manifested a worse prognosis. Immunomodulatory treatments were not significantly associated with an increased risk of intensive care unit admission/mechanical ventilation/death. CONCLUSIONS: Although the report mainly includes the most severe cases, its temporal and spatial trend supports the validity of the national surveillance system. More complete data are being acquired in order to both test the hypothesis that RMD patients may have a different outcome from that of the general population and determine the safety of immunomodulatory treatments

An Open Archive of Scientific Communication

This paper presents the results of a terminological work conducted by the authors on a Digital Archives Net of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in the field of Computer Science. In particular, the research tends to analyse the use of certain terms in Computer Science in order to verify their change over the time with the aim of retrieving from the net the very essence of documentation. Its main source is a reference corpus made up of 13,500 documents which collects the scientific productions of three CNR research Institutes. They are ISTI (Institute of Information Science and Technologies), IIT (Institute of Informatics and Telematics) and ILC (Institute of Computational Linguistics), all of them born from the "Centro Studi sulle Calcolatrici Elettroniche (CSCE)" and now belonging to the CNR Department of Information & Communication Technologies and Cultural Identity. This study is divided in three sections: an introductory one dedicated to the data extracted from the scientific documentation: the data have in common the use of some terms proper of the Computer Science lexicon although these term belong to different branches (Linguistics, Informatics and Telematics); the second section is devoted to the description of the contents managed by the PUMA (Publication Management System) system; the third section contains a statistical representation of terms extracted from archive: some comparison tables between the occurrences of the most used terms in the scientific documentation produced by the three Institutes will be created and diagrams with percentages about the most frequently used terms will be displayed too. Lastly, indexes and concordances will allow to reflect on the use of certain terms in this field and give possible keys for having access to the extraction of knowledge in the digital era

Superhydrophobicity of nanofibrillated cellulose materials through polysiloxane nanofilaments

The wetting behavior of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was drastically changed from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic, achieving limited contact angle hysteresis. Remarkably, superhydrophobicity was attained for a variety of morphologies, namely dense and porous films, foams and powders, thus exploiting a wide spectrum of cellulose manifestations. The superhydrophobic behavior resulted from the combined action of hydrophobic polysiloxane nanofilaments, formed by controlled reaction of methyltrichlorosilane with water at the surface of NFC fibrils, and the NFC substrates surface morphology, established by various drying methods of the nanofibrils. In particular, the optimal conditions for polysiloxane nanofilaments growth, with identification of various regimes of coating versus nanofilaments growth, were identified. Depending on the morphology, we demonstrated that modified NFC materials can act multiple roles, such as superhydrophobic liquid-infused lubricating surfaces, filters for dodecane drops capture from a nebulized dodecane/water mixture, hydrocarbon absorption from an aqueous phase, with absorbance capacity as high as 50 gdodecane/gfoam, and beds to separate hydrocarbon/water mixture. As such, the versatile combination of two materials with nanoscale features (nanocellulose and nanofilaments), which provide multi-tier topography and unprecedented wetting characteristics, can serve for all those applications, in which liquid mixture behavior (e.g. water/hydrocarbon) needs to be controlled.ISSN:1572-882XISSN:0969-023

Vitamin D serum levels and the risk of digital ulcers in systemic sclerosis: A longitudinal study

Low levels of vitamin D (25OHD) have been found to associated with digital ulcers (DUs) in systemic sclerosis (SSc), although only cross-sectional studies have been performed. We aimed to investigate if variations in vitamin D serum levels over time affect DU in SSc
