Systematic screening of Retinopathy in Diabetes (REaD project): An Italian implementation campaign
No full textPurpose: To evaluate the use of telemedicine retinal screening in Italy and to identify potential elements of implementation of this system. Methods: Patients with either new-onset diabetes or no ophthalmologic visit over the previous 2 years and attending 33 referral diabetic centers between mid-April 2013 and mid December 2015 were screened. Two partially overlapping nonstereoscopic 45° digital color images were captured from each eye using a fully automated nonmydriatic digital fundus camera. Factors limiting the assessment of retinopathy were explored. Results: Out of 24,473 eligible individuals, 22,466 had complete data. Among them, good-quality images enabling appropriate evaluation of at least one eye were obtained from 19,712 patients (both eyes, n = 18,887). Although nonmydriatic retinographs were provided, 39% of patients were evaluated using mydriasis. The rate of low-quality images in each center was inversely associated with the number of patients assessed. This was more evident for screening in mydriasis: adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.79 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76-0.82) (p<0.001) vs 0.96 (95% CI 0.94-0.97) (p<0.001). Finally, both the number of patients assessed and use of mydriasis were inversely related to the presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR): adjusted OR 0.93 (95% CI 0.92-0.93) (p<0.001) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.82-0.96) (p<0.001), respectively. Conclusions: This program confirmed a role for teleophthalmology in the systematic screening of DR and provided important suggestions to improve the system deployed. A high level of training is required for operators to optimize imaging. The role of mydriasis should be evaluated furthe
What Language does Ugo Tudešak speak?
No full textThis work is an analysis of the two phenomena regarding the character of Ugo Tudeško in Držić’s comedy Dundo Maroje. The first part speaks about some characteristics of Italian-German »macaronics« regarding the different sources and models which the author could know while creating this character. The other part is dedicated to »the case of Ugo Tudeško« from the adaptation and direction of Dundo Maroje (Zagreb, 1938) during the time of The Independent Republic of Croatia, when the repertoire success of the time, without any explanation, disappeared at the end of 1943 from the repertoire of The Croatian national Theatre, supposedly due to the caricatural characteristics of German Ugo
UGO FOSCOLO: INTELECTUAL, POETA, ENSAÍSTA
No full textThe Italian author Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827) developed his literary activity in avery peculiar moment of Italian history: the instauration of Napoleon’s government in thepeninsula. Foscolo has not remained apathetic to the political matters which affected his time,and this article aims to analyze how the author’s ideas on the function of poetry are related to hisactivities as an intellectual, essayist and critic of society.O autor italiano Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827) desenvolveu a sua atividade literária nummomento muito peculiar da história italiana: a instauração do governo napoleônico na península.Foscolo não se manteve apático às questões políticas que afligiam o seu tempo, e o presenteartigo objetiva analisar como as idéias do autor sobre a função da poesia se relacionaram com asua atividade de intelectual, ensaísta e crítico da sociedade
Evaluating Intraocular Pressure After Myopic Photorefractive Keratectomy: A Comparison of Different Tonometers
No full textPrecis: All devices evaluated in this study showed a significant underestimation in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement after myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), Goldmann tonometer more than others. Corneal biomechanics indicated a different influence on the different kinds of tonometry. Purpose: The aim was to investigate the reliability of Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), rebound tonometry (RT), ocular response analyzer (ORA), Corvis ST (CST), and dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) in IOP evaluation after myopic PRK. Materials and Methods: One eye of 145 patients who underwent myopic PRK for a refractive defect ranging from -10.25 to -0.50 D (mean -4.69 +/- 2.00 D) was included in this retrospective comparative study. A complete eye visit with corneal tomography and IOP measurement with GAT, DCT, ORA, RT, and CST was performed before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months follow-up. Values provided by each device were tested and compared at each follow-up. Correlation analyses were run between changes in IOP and the corneal, morphologic and biomechanical parameters were measured after PRK. Results: GAT, DCT, ORA, RT, and CST showed a significant (P<0.01) underestimation of IOP at 6 months follow-up. GAT showed the greatest underestimation (-14.1%) and stronger correlations with corneal deformation parameter changes, whereas ORA, DCT, and RT appeared to be less conditioned by these variations. At 6 months follow-up DCT, ORA, RT, and CST provided IOP values with nonsignificant differences compared with GAT before PRK. Conclusions: Each tested tonometer showed a significant IOP underestimation after myopic PRK. As this was most observed with GAT compared with all devices, we suggest DCT, ORA, RT, or CST to evaluate IOP in these patients following surgery
Pratiche dell'architettura in Vittorio Ugo (1957-1987)
No full textLa ricerca verte sulla figura di Vittorio Ugo (1938-2005), architetto e urbanista palermitano , docente presso la Facoltà di architettura di Palermo dal 1964 al 1987. Della complessa attività di Ugo, che nella seconda fase si svolge principalmente a Milano, la tesi mette a fuoco il periodo 1957-1987, anni che comprendono la formazione universitaria e la sua poco nota attività di architetto e urbanista a Palermo.Vittorio Ugo (Palermo, 1938-2005) is an Italian architect, mostly known in Italy and France as theorist and a critic as well, Professor at University of Palermo from 1964 to 1987. Much less known is his architectural work as author of projects on different scales: architecture, urban-planning, design. The years from 1957 to 1987 represent a sort of long training period, which prepare the second phase of Ugo’s biography, devoted exclusively to the Theory of Architecture. Born from a family of artists - his grandfather was a sculptor, his father an architect - he was looking for an original way to be an architect, feeling an ethical need to see architecture from a scientific point of view. The main argument of this research, starts from the belief that the fame of Vittorio Ugo as a theorist, together with his open International impulse - France and Japan were his second homeland – conceals a complex "apprenticeship ", yet to be revealed. Many of his former pupils wondered who he was, where he came from, what had determined his passion of teaching and the care he devoted to his students. In 1978, he was living in Paris attending the heated debates that took place at the prestigious Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales, inside the courses of Louis Marin and Hubert Damisch. «[...] Que venait chercher Victor Hugo auprès de cette école de pensée sémiologique?» What was Vittorio Ugo looking for in that school of semiological thought? Philippe Potié was asking a few years ago. How to explain the choice of Ugo to devote himself to the Theory, after twenty years of designing

Le "point de départ". Vittorio Ugo, architecte à Palerme dans les années soixante
No full textVittorio Ugo (Palermo, 1938-2005) is an Italian architect, known mostly in Italy and France as theorist and critic. Whereas, much less known is his architectural work as author of projects on different scales: architecture, urban-planning, design, which Ugo himself, later on, would have considered as a pastime of his young age. In his practice of architecture, the author of the article see, on the contrary, the roots of his theoretical thought. Born from a family of artists - his grandfather was a sculptor, his father an architect - he was looking for an original way to be architect, feeling an ethical need to see architecture from a scientific point of view. Getting back to the work of Vittorio Ugo means to take the distances from the glamour, the show-business that involves, in our time, architects and architecture and it permits us to return to the essential aims of a discipline which exists to create - and to improve - the human habitat
