The italian information system for monitoring errors in Healthcare.
No full textLo Stato Italiano, mediante il Decreto del Ministero del Lavoro, della Salute e delle Politiche Sociali del 11.12.2009, si è preoccupato di andare ad istituire un sistema informativo degli errori in Sanità. E' da tutti riconosciuto come in ambito sanitario il riconoscimento e la segnalazione degli errori siano alla base della prevenzione e del miglioramento del sistema. Proprio in questi ultimi anni nei nostri policlinici iniziano a nascere le unità di gestione del rischio clinico. Tuttavia, la segnalazione degli errori è da sempre un tabù, basti pensare come all'inizio del secolo scorso Ernest A Codman, uno dei fondatori dell'American College of Surgeons, venne ostracizzato dai propri colleghi per la meticolosità con cui registrava i danni ai pazienti dovuti agli interventi. In definitiva, la sicurezza dei pazienti e la gestione del rischio clinico sono punti critici per tutti i sistemi sanitari, infatti la complessità delle organizzazioni sanitarie, l'elevato livello tecnologico, l'elevato numero delle prestazioni erogate costituiscono fattori intrinseci del sistema che possono favorire il verificarsi di errori causa di eventi avversi per i pazienti. Risulta evidente che l'errore e la possibilità di un incidente non sono del tutto eliminabili, ma devono essere utilizzati tutti gli interventi possibili perché siano controllabili e, soprattutto, ridotti al minimo.
Poiché in Italia c'è una regionalizzazione (devoluzione) del Sistema Sanitario Nazionale che diventa Sistema Sanitario Regionale, con la conseguenza che ogni Regione deve poi mettere in pratica le norme emanate dal Legislatore Nazionale, gli Autori analizzano lo stato di attuazione del sistema informativo per il monitoraggio degli errori in Sanità nella Regione Lazio.The Italian Government, through the Decree of the Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Policies of the 11.12.2009, instituted an information system for errors in Healthcare. It is agreed upon that in the healthcare environment this system of recognizing and signaling errors is the base for prevention and improvement of the system. In fact, in the past few years, units for clinical risk management have been created in our general hospitals. Nevertheless, signaling errors has always been seen as a taboo; a good example would be Ernest A Codman, one of the founders of the American College of Surgeons, who was ostracized by his colleagues for the preciseness with which he recorded damages caused to the patients by surgery. Security for patients and clinical risk management are critical points for all clinical systems, in fact, the complexity of the clinical organizations, the high level of technology and the increased amount of services provided are intrinsic factors of the system and can increase the possibility of errors occurring with adverse consequences for the patients. It is evident that error and the possibility of an incident can't be fully eliminated, but all possible measures must be taken so that they can be controlled, and most of all, reduced to a minimum.
Since in Italy there is a regionalization (devolution) of the National Healthcare System that becomes the Regional Healthcare System, which as a consequence each Region must set forth the laws issued by the National Legislator, the Authors will discuss the implementation of the Information System for monitoring errors in Healthcare in the Lazio Region
Pathological gambling during experimental therapy in patient with Parkinson's disease: a case report and literature review
No full textI disturbi del controllo degli impulsi (in particolare il gioco d'azzardo patologico, l'ipersessualità, le spese incontrollabili) possono essere innescati da terapie dopaminergiche nel morbo di Parkinson in particolare nei pazienti più giovani.
Gli autori analizzano il caso di un paziente di 58 anni con diagnosi di morbo di Parkinson. È stato inizialmente impostato un trattamento con Ropinirolo (Requip), durante il quale il paziente era clinicamente compensato e non ha mostrato alcun effetto collaterale. Dopo un anno il paziente è stato rivalutato e, a causa della progressione della malattia, gli fu proposto di venire registrato in uno studio clinico in cui è stato somministrato un mix di levodopa-carbidopa-entacapone (e leovdopa/carbidopa nel gruppo di controllo). Il paziente era a conoscenza dei possibili effetti collaterali e della modalità "doppio cieco" dello studio; ha firmato il relativo consenso informato. In successivi controlli periodici il paziente ha negato sintomi comportamentali legati ai disturbi del controllo degli impulsi. In seguito ha sviluppato una sindrome patologica del gioco d'azzardo.
Partendo da questo caso clinico, lo scopo del nostro articolo è una revisione della letteratura riguardo l'associazione tra terapia dopaminergica, nei pazienti con morbo di Parkinson, e lo sviluppo di sindrome da gioco d'azzardo patologico. Inoltre, riferendosi al caso clinico riportato, gli autori analizzano i possibili profili di responsabilità professionale dello sperimentatore in caso di sviluppo di eventi avversi nel corso di una sperimentazione clinica.Impulse control disorders (particularly pathologic gambling, hypersexuality, uncontrollable spending) can be triggered by dopaminergic therapies in Parkinson Disease especially in younger patient.
The authors analyze the case of a 58 years old patient with a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. It was initially set a treatment with Ropinirole (Requip) during which the patient was clinically compensated and he didn't show any side effects. After a year the patient was reevaluated and, due to the progression of the disease, it was proposed him to be enrolled in a clinical trial in which was administered a mix of levodopa-carbidopa-entacapone (and leovdopa/carbidopa in the control group). The patient was made aware of the possible side effects and of the "double-blind" mode of the study; he signed the respective informed consent. In later periodic check-ups the patient denied behavioral symptoms related to impulse control disorders. Afterward he developed a pathological gambling syndrome.
Starting from this clinical case, the aim of our article is a review of the literature about the association between dopaminergic therapy, in patients with Parkinson's disease, and the development of pathological gambling syndrome. Furthermore, referring to the clinical case reported, the Authors analyze the possible profiles of professional liability of the experimenter in case of development of adverse events during a clinical trial
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
