The impact of chronic multimorbidity and disability on functioning and survival. A community-based, longitudinal study
No full textAbstract. Marengoni A, von Strauss E, Rizzuto D,
Winblad B, Fratiglioni L (Aging Research Center,
Gerontology Research Center and Karolinska Institutet,
Stockholm, Sweden, and University of Brescia
and Civili Hospital, Brescia, Italy). The impact of
chronic multimorbidity and disability on functional
decline and survival in elderly persons. A communitybased,
longitudinal study. J Intern Med 2009;
265: 288–295.
Objective. We aimed to disentangle the effect of
chronic multimorbidity and disability on 3-year functional
decline and survival in the elderly.
Design. Prospective cohort study with a mean of follow-
up of 2.8 years.
Setting. Swedish elderly persons from the Kungsholmen
Project (1987–2000).
Subjects. A total of 1099 subjects, 77–100 years old,
living in the community and institutions.
Main outcome measurements. Medical diagnoses (based
on clinical examination, drug use, medical records
and blood tests), and functional assessment (according
to Katz Index) at baseline were investigated in relation
to functional decline and death occurring during
follow-up.
Results. At baseline, 12.1% of participants had disability,
and 52.3% were affected by multimorbidity. During
follow-up, 363 persons died and 85 worsened in
functioning. The number of chronic conditions incrementally
increased the risk of functional decline [hazard
ratio (HR) increased from 1.5 in subjects with one
disease to 6.2 in persons with 4+ diseases]. However,
this was not the case for mortality, as the HR of death
was the same for people with one disease as well as 4+
diseases (HR = 2.3). Baseline disability had the highest
impact on survival, independently of number of diseases
[HR = 8.1; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.8–
13.7 in subjects with one disease and HR = 7.7; 95%
CI = 4.7–12.6 in those with 2+ diseases].
Conclusions. In the elderly subjects, chronic disability
rather than multimorbidity emerged as the strongest
negative prognostic factor for functionality and
survival
Geohazard survey along the Ionian coast of Calabria, from Capo Spartivento to Capo Rizzuto (Italy): Examples
No full textIn the context of the MaGIC (Marine Geohazards along the Italian Coasts) project we propose a geohazard map of the Calabrian coast between Capo Spartivento and Capo Rizzuto (Ionian Sea) based on the interpretation/ elaboration of Multibeam and CHIRP data acquired in summer 2005 with the R/V OGS EXPLORA in framework of the MESC project ((Morphology and Evolution of the Submarine Canyons in the Ionian Margin of Calabria- University of Trieste, Italy)

Status spongiosus of rat central nervous system induced by actinomycin D
No full textThe effect on central myelin of Actinomycin D, an RNA--and, secondarily, a protein-synthesis inhibitor, has been studied by light and electron microscopy. The intracranial injection of this drug produced an extensive status spongiosus of the white matter in the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem and optic nerve within 48 h. The status spongiosus was due to vacuole formation within the myelin sheath and to enlargement of the extracellular space. Three types of vacuoles were observed: (a) the most common varieties formed between the inner tongue and the remainder of the myelin sheath; (b) a second variety formed by enlargement of the periaxonal space with separation of the axon from its myelin sheath, and (c) a less common type of vacuolization was due to splitting of the myelin lamellae at the interperiod line to form large intramyelinic vacuoles. Myelinic vacuoles were preceded by nuclear and cytoplasmic changes in oligodendrocytes, which included nucleolar segregation, disaggregation, and diminution in number of ribosomes. These changes were similar to those previously reported in a variety of cells exposed to Actinomycin D. It is suggested that myelin vacuoles result secondarily from the Actinomycin D inhibitory effect on oligodendroglial RNA--and protein-synthesis, rather than from a direct effect of this drug on the myelin sheath

Analysis of airborne noise emitted from ships
No full textTo assess and to control the environmental noise due to the main noise sources, including ports, the European Directive 2002/49/CE introduced a tool for the acoustic planning: The Noise Strategic Mapping (NSM). In any harbor, NSM can be obtained by evaluating the sound field for each type of sound sources standing in the port area and by superimposing all noise contributions. The present paper suggests a method to achieve such acoustical analysis of port noise. The method has a general purpose and is implemented in four steps: definition of the vessels category; measurements to characterize ship as a noise source; modeling of outdoor noise propagation; map drawing. All these subjects are discussed in the paper and some specific recommendations to get at a successful noise mapping of ports are reported, too. In the end, limit values to keep under control the problem of noise pollution due to ships are proposed
Reality versus Emotions in Italian Journalism
No full textThe article focuses on the recent shift from information to sensation in Italian journalism. The theme of the social responsability of the journalistic media is presented in connection with the recent changes of the digital media and their blurring of real and fiction, as well as of news narrative styles
