Full text linkNowadays, the refined models of simulation to evaluate the seismic damage in an urban area are becoming of paramount interest for the scientific community. Regional seismic damage simulation can potentially provide valuable information that can facilitate decision making, enhance planning for disaster mitigation, and reduce human and economic losses. However, the application of refined models is limited because of their high computational cost and needs of highly experienced users. For these reasons, these approaches remain academic experiences. This study proposes a straightforward approach to the problem, at the same time competitive, to simulate the seismic response and to assess the degree of damage at urban scale. At first, the simulation of the standard building is performed using an equivalent single degree of freedom model. Subsequently, the same approach is extended to a number of regular buildings from a virtual city sample for time-history seismic response analysis. The first part of this work is devoted to present the methodology to prepare the one-degree-of-freedom model of the standard building by comparing it with a refined multi degrees of freedom model as a target. Finally, a seismic damage simulation of a virtual city sample is implemented to demonstrate the capacity and advantages of the proposed method at increasing seismic intensities for damage assessment. It is the starting phase for further multi-hazards analyses at the regional scale through agent-based models

Cervical pregnancy treated by uterine artery embolisation combined with office hysteroscopy.
Full text linkOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of uterine artery embolisation in conjunction with hysteroscopic resection of trophoblast in the conservative treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: Five women diagnosed with cervical pregnancies at University Hospital of Foggia, Italy, between May 2009 and February 2012 underwent uterine artery embolisation followed by office hysteroscopic resection of trophoblast. Data on operating time, blood loss, blood transfusion, conversion to other techniques, complications related to surgery, change of serum β-hCG level, hospitalisation days and outcome of the women after discharge were collected. RESULTS: The mean hysteroscopic operative time was 9.8min, and the blood loss was negligible in all cases. Blood transfusion was not needed for any of the women. None of the women required conversion to other techniques. In all cases the operations were uneventful. The serum β-hCG level in all the cases declined to normal within 15 days of surgery. The total hospitalisation time was 4 days in all the cases. No vaginal bleeding or other side effects were observed throughout and after the treatment, all women recovered without complications. CONCLUSIONS: Uterine artery embolisation with office hysteroscopic resection is an effective option in treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy
