Le entrate signorili dei Mandelli a Maccagno: fine XIII-inizi XIV secolo
No full textIl saggio esamina la signoria esercitata dalla famiglia milanese dei Mandelli sul villaggio di Maccagno Inferiore, sul Lago Maggiore, a cavallo fra XIII e XIV secolo. Ne emerge il limitato rientro economico di questo territorio periferico, compensato però dal valore simbolico del potere ivi esercitato.The essay examines the lordship exercised by the Milanese Mandelli family over the village of Maccagno Inferiore, on the Lake Maggiore, between 13th and 14th centuries. This peripheral territory provided little wealth to the family, but this was compensated by the symbolic value of the power exercised
Esporre la memoria : film e audiovisivi negli allestimenti dei musei di storia tra ventesimo e ventunesimo secolo
No full textLa tesi si propone di indagare le forme di esposizione del cinema e delle immagini in movimento nel quadro degli allestimenti espositivi, al di fuori dell’ambito artistico e con particolare attenzione ai musei focalizzati sulla storia recente o contemporanea. Una prima sezione è dedicata alle modalità con cui il fenomeno si è manifestato a partire dai primi decenni del ventesimo secolo. Essa identifica da un lato le condizioni di possibilità dell’utilizzo del medium cinematografico nella pratica museale, dall’altro le modalità con cui si è negoziata, in termini propriamente museografici, l’inclusione delle immagini in movimento lungo il percorso espositivo. La seconda parte della ricerca discute le declinazioni del fenomeno negli ultimi due decenni e vi individua un insieme di pratiche e configurazioni ricorrenti, mettendo in luce la crucialità del cinema nelle esposizioni museali contemporanee in quanto principio strutturale e modello di riferimento

Epidemiology and risk factors of pneumonia in critically ill patients. Intensive Care Unit Group for Infection Control
No full textRisk factors for pneumonia were analysed in a large population of critically ill patients, collected in two prospective multicentre "pneumonia studies" in Italy. Twenty-three intensive care units were involved and the study time was 150 unit months. Only patients without previous pulmonary infection, with intensive care unit stay greater than or equal to 48 hours and no rapidly irreversible illness at admission were included. The incidence of pneumonia in the 1475 selected patients was 15% (220 cases). 239 patients died in ICU; the mortality rate was significantly higher in patients developing pneumonia (p less than 0.0001); pneumonia was found to be an independent highly significant risk factor for death in critically ill patients (OR = 3.88; p less than 0.0001). Multivariate analysis of seven risk factors for pneumonia showed a significantly higher risk in patients with neuromuscular disease (OR = 3.8, p less than 0.002), impairment of airway reflexes at admission (OR = 2.93, p less than 0.0001), and greater than or equal to 24h respiratory assistance (OR = 3.05, p less than 0.0001). Impairment of airway reflexes at admission to the emergency room or intensive care unit identifies the population who will experience 3/4 of the overall lower respiratory tract infections. Rapid recognition of at-risk patients seems clinically important and may improve awareness programs and preventive approaches

No full textSERUM BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY AS A THERAPEUTIC GUIDE IN SEVERELY GRANULOCYTOPENIC PATIENTS WITH GRAM-NEGATIVE SEPTICEMIA
No full textThe peak and trough levels of bactericidal activity of the serum of 74 severely granulocytopenic patients (≤500 polymorphonucleates per μl) with hematologic malignancies and Gram-negative septicemia were measured using the patient's infectious organism and serum containing the given antibiotics. When the peak titer of bactericidal activity in the serum was >1:8 the septicemia was cured in more than 90% of the cases. However, in order to achieve a satisfactory rate of cure, patients with <100 polymorphonucleates/μl required higher peak levels than patients with 100-500 polymorphonucleates/μl. Serum bactericidal activity was influenced by the in vitro susceptibility of the offending pathogen and by the presence of in vitro synergism between the given antibiotics. These two variables showed a correlation with the clinical outcome that proved to be increasing with the degree of granulocytopenia. Furthermore, synergistic combination of the antibiotics appeared essential when the in vitro susceptibility shown by the offending pathogen was moderate. These data suggest (i) that determination of the bactericidal activity of the serum may prove to be a useful method to predict the clinical outcome in severely granulocytopenic patients with Gram-negative septicemia; and (ii) under the same conditions, antibiotic combinations that have demonstrable in vitro synergy against the offending pathogen should be given the utmost consideration. © 1985
SUPERINFECTIONS DURING ANTIMICROBIAL TREATMENT WITH BETALACTAM-AMINOGLYCOSIDE COMBINATIONS IN NEUTROPENIC PATIENTS WITH HEMATOLOGIC MALIGNANCIES
No full textThe frequency, etiology and risk factors of superinfections during and/or within one week after antibiotic therapy with betalactam-aminoglycoside combinations were evaluated in 631 patients with hematologic malignancies admitted to the Institute of Hematology of Rome from January 1982 to December 1984. 356 patients (56%) developed 402 episodes of proven or presumed infection. Of these patients, 78 developed 102 superinfections. Overall, superinfections responded less satisfactorily to antibiotic therapy than the primary febrile episodes (63% vs. 85%). The distribution of etiologic agents of superinfections differed from those responsible for primary infections, since fungi and anaerobes (especially Clostridium difficile) were mostly isolated after antibiotic therapy had begun. Moreover, among aerobic bacteria, frequently antibiotic-resistant species, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the leading etiologic agents of superinfection. The risk of superinfection appeared to increase with the depth and persistence of granulocytopenia. On the other hand, the length of hospitalization, length of previous antibiotic therapy, previous chemoprophylaxis and presence of indwelling venous catheter did not affect the risk of superinfection. © 1985 MMV Medizin Verlag GmbH München
