    We present the knowledge organisation of a database which aims to collect information for the optimisation of the social and heath care delivery in a limited territory within the guidelines set up by a EU funded project EPIC. The local implementation reflects the specificity of the social and health care delivery in the validation site: Savona. The paper discusses the features of the new rules which make compulsory an update of the first version of the software

    This paper presents the experimental set-up design for the determination of the diffusion coefficient of human IgG through Fibronectin (Fn) tubes. This work has been carried out as a part of a colloborative project aiming to develop novel engineering bioartificial nerve grafts with which optimize and improve surgical peripheral nerve repair. This work is complemented by computer modeling of the incorporation/release diffusion dynamics of soluted, including therapeutic antibodies. Non-immunogenic neutralizing human antibodies anti-TGF-ß1 suitable for clinical use as locally derived therapies will be used in the project in order to prevent inflammation and scarring. In fact, inflammation and scarring are enhanced by TGF-ß1 production by macrophages limphocites etc

    Breath Multi Analysis: a database to collect data on gastric related non invasive analysis.

    The diagnosis of dyspepsia is very difficult because the symptoms are clinically aspecific and the gastric emptying time tests are of complex interpretation. An integrated and automated analysis of clinical and instrumental data may improve the diagnostic process. We present a system to collect data on dyspeptic patients from different sources which have been set up to assist the clinician in the diagnosis of dyspepsia. The data base integrates a wide set of symptoms with data coming from non invasive laboratory tests. Moreover, we assess the feasibility of considering the same methods for collecting data also for adsorption problems and for hepatic problems
