Mass movements inventory map of the Rubbio stream catchment (Basilicata – South Italy).
In the Basilicata region (South Italy) slope movements, caused by soft rocks, rapid tectonic
uplift, earthquakes, and seasonally heavy precipitation, constitute one of the major geologic
hazards. For this reason a detailed inventory map of mass movements has been created in a
test area of south-eastern Basilicata. The map was compiled from field surveys and multitemporal
air photo interpretation. For each landslide, the map depicts the state of activity
and dominant type of slope movement. The integration and analysis of the data obtained by
using a geographic information system has produced the mass movements inventory map at
a scale of 1:25,000.
Mass movements are widespread and play a key role in the landscape evolution of the
study area. A total of 175 landslides were recognized, occupying a surface area of 16.2 km2,
about 9% of the whole basin of interest. The spatial distribution and type of mass
movements are mainly related to the lithology and structural features. Field surveys coupled
with interpretation of multi-temporal aerial photos allowed us to distinguish between active
(20.6%) and inactive (79.4%) landslides. Mass movements, mapped on the basis of
movement type, are represented by slides, flows and complex landslides. The complex and
slide type movements are very common, and represent more than 86% of the landslides
mapped
Colistin use in critically ill patients: in search of the optimal dosing.
the recent article in CHEST (December 2010) by Imberti et al,1 which described steady-state serum pharmacokinetics and BAL concentration of colistin after IV administration of colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) in adult patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by gram-negative bacteria raises questions about whether the currently used dosages of colistin methanesulfonate are appropriate in the critically ill patient, in whom larger distribution volume and increased plasma concentrations of α1-acid glycoprotein, an acute-phase protein with polymyxin-binding capabilities,5 may result in free colistin concentrations that are lower than those expected
