Il sentimento del tempo. Un dispositivo di senso nella formazione degli operatori sanitari
Il contributo illustra un’esperienza formativa incentrata sul sentimento del tempo nella formazione e nella cura, realizzata nell’ambito dei Corsi di laurea per le professioni sanitarie, attivi presso l’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Federico II”. Indagando una dimensione che influisce considerevolmente sulla vita affetti-va e lavorativa, le/gli studentesse/studenti si sono soffermate/i sulla rilevanza strategica della questione “tempo” nelle relazioni e nella cura, a partire dalle loro rappresentazioni e dai modi in cui sono solite/i gestirlo
On the use of soft continuum robots for remote measurement tasks in constrained environments: A brief overview of applications
Soft continuum robots provide high dexterity in constrained spaces, while guaranteeing a compliant interaction with the surrounding environment. Over the last years, they have been used to improve many manipulation tasks, going from maintenance, inspection and repair in industrial-related environments to minimally invasive surgery in the medical field. This paper investigates the use of soft continuum robots for remote measurement tasks, and focuses on the following application scenarios where they have already demonstrated their benefits: space, aerospace, nuclear, marine and medical fields. The limitations of existing applications and perspectives of future directions are also discussed

Achievement of target SBP without attention to decrease in DBP can increase cardiovascular morbidity in treated arterial hypertension: the Campania Salute Network registry
Results of the SPRINT study have influenced recent guidelines on arterial hypertension, in the identification of target SBP, but scarce attention has been paid to the consequences on DBP. However, there is evidence that reducing DBP too much can be harmful
Benefits of Retroperitoneoscopic Surgery in Pediatric Urology.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
The aim of this review is to find out the benefits of retroperitoneoscopy for the most common urological diseases in children.
RECENT FINDINGS:
The emergence of minimally invasive surgery about 20 years ago revolutionized pediatric urology. In this context, laparoscopy and later retroperitoneoscopy were developed and applied to a wide spectrum of urological diseases. Both approaches have since presented benefits and disadvantages that have been documented in various series. The main indications of retroperitoneoscopy are presented, from the classical ablative surgery, like total or partial nephrectomy, to more advanced reconstructive surgery. The success rate is similar to open surgery. However, few comparative studies have been conducted. According to the most recent findings, retroperitoneoscopic surgery in children is feasible and safe if performed by well-trained surgeons. A pediatric urologist would favor the retroperitoneoscopic access to reach the upper urinary tract and the kidney because this is the "natural" way to treat the most common urological pediatric diseases
Shake table tests on retrofitted brick partitions
This paper deals with the seismic
characterization of hollow brick internal partitions, which are widespread in
many European countries and have high vulnerability to seismic actions, as observed after L’Aquila earthquake in
2009 and Centre Italy earthquake in 2016.
In order to reduce thei
r vulnerability, a retrofit intervention is proposed:
it consists in cutting around the perimeter of the partitions and filling the gap by a self

expanding polyurethane
foam.
The seismic performance of these retrofitted hollow brick partitions is investiga

experimental tests,
carried out at the laboratory of the Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture
at the University of Naples Federico II.
Ten bidirectional seismic tests with different intensity are performed. The
i
nputs are selected matching the target response spectrum provided by the U.S. code for nonstructural components.
The exhibited damage is shown and compared to that of the non

The aim of th
