Treatment of complete ankylosed elbow with total arthroplasty
No full textWe reported the case of a 38-year-old patient who in 2017 presented to our institution after post-traumatic complete ankylosis of the elbow. He complained of stiffness and pain, and the radiographs revealed complete fusion of the humeroulnar joint. The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) on admission was 31, and the elbow was fused at 90° flexed position. The patient underwent semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasty with Bryan-Morrey approach; after a 2.1 years follow-up, active arc of movement was 120°. The MEPS was excellent with a 100 points score, the patient was able to complete all activities of daily living. We did not report any complications. Total elbow arthroplasty has shown to be a good therapeutic option that make it possible to restore adequate functional range of motion and relieve pain in young patients with post-traumatic stiffness/arthritis of the elbow
Didattica in e-Learning (DIDeL). Primi risultati dei laboratori per lo sviluppo delle competenze tecnologiche per l’eLearning universitario.
No full textL’articolo riporta i primi risultati del progetto DIDeL (Didattica in e-Learning) dell’Università di Firenze, finalizzato allo sviluppo professionale del personale accademico sui metodi e le tecnologie dell’e-learning. Il progetto si basa su un modello concettuale articolato su più livelli (individuale e community-oriented) e basato su una combinazione di approcci metodologici (i.e., autoapprendimento, coaching, PBL, comunità di apprendimento) e strumenti didattici (i.e., tutoriali, casi di studio, laboratori tecnici e sportello elearning). Questo contributo si focalizza sui laboratori tecnici, realizzati nel 2016-17 per promuovere le capacità d’uso della piattaforma Moodle d’Ateneo. Hanno partecipato ai laboratori 89 docenti e sono stati osservati i cambiamenti nelle loro modalità d’uso della piattaforma. Per effettuare la rilevazione è stato sviluppato un applicativo che consente di estrarre dati da Moodle e monitorare le funzionalità usate dai docenti. I risultati mostrano un aumento pari al 20% del numero di docenti che hanno aperto corsi in Moodle e l’attivazione di corsi di livello base e medio. Più raro è il passaggio verso forme più spinte di uso della piattaforma (solo il 9%), che probabilmente sottintende un cambiamento più profondo del fare didattico. Ciò ci spinge a sottolineare l’importanza di un approccio integrato allo sviluppo professionale
Didattica in e-Learning (DIDeL). Promuovere l’innovazione didattica e lo sviluppo professionale della docenza universitaria: primi risultati dello sportello e-learning dell’Università’ di Firenze.
No full textIl contributo presenta i risultati di un servizio sperimentale attivato dall’Università di Firenze nell’a.a. 2016/2017 per supportare i docenti nella sperimentazione di approcci e-learning. Il servizio, denominato Sportello e-Learning (Se-L), rientrava nel più ampio progetto di sviluppo professionale DIDel (Didattica in e-learning), ed era basato su una metodologia di coaching individualizzato offerto ai docenti da parte di un instructional designer: attraverso la condivisione delle problematiche emergenti nella didattica, i docenti arrivavano a progettare possibili soluzioni, anche attraverso l’uso della piattaforma Moodle di ateneo. L’efficacia di questa prima fase di sperimentazione di Se-L è stata monitorata a medio e lungo termine, analizzando l’effettiva implementazione delle ipotesi progettuali negoziate e realizzando interviste in profondità ai docenti coinvolti per valutare le ricadute sulle loro visioni e pratiche didattiche. I dati quanti-qualitativi raccolti permettono di valutare positivamente la tecnica del coaching progettuale, e documentano anche alcuni cambiamenti nelle pratiche didattiche, anche se ci sono ancora alcuni ostacoli da superare nel contesto universitario per pervenire a una più duratura innovazione

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

A software environment for the evaluation of medical images reconstruction methods
No full textThe feedback from the medical community is very important when experimenting with medical imaging inverse problems. However, prob¬lems related to medical images data format, computer platforms, com¬putational burden, validation of new algorithms on patient data, may hamper the process of experimenting and validating new reconstruc¬tion methods very much. In this paper the joint efforts of a group of re¬searchers committed to the testing and deployment of new reconstruc¬tion methods in clinical environments are described. The outcomes of this work includes a set of platform independent software tools to read medical images, to control the execution of computing intensive tomographic algorithms and to explore the reconstructed tomographic volumes as well as strategies to compare different reconstruction meth¬ods on known patients populations
