Abstract

Background and purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the neurological manifestations in a series of consecutive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-positive patients, comparing their frequency with a population hospitalized in the same period for flu/respiratory symptoms, finally not related to SARS-CoV-2. Methods: Patients with flu/respiratory symptoms admitted to Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli hospital from 14 March 2020 to 20 April 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. The frequency of neurological manifestations of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection was compared with a control group. Results: In all, 213 patients were found to be positive for SARS-CoV-2, after reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction on nasal or throat swabs, whilst 218 patients were found to be negative and were used as a control group. Regarding central nervous system manifestations, in SARS-CoV-2-positive patients a higher frequency of headache, hyposmia and encephalopathy always related to systemic conditions (fever or hypoxia) was observed. Furthermore, muscular involvement was more frequent in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 commonly have neurological manifestations but only hyposmia and muscle involvement seem more frequent compared with other flu diseases.

Abstract

provided capitalizing on the dispersion index for ordinal variables proposed by Giuseppe Leti. The procedure allows to avoid the problem of restriction of variance that sometimes affects traditional measures of interrater agreement in different fields of application. Rating data on a Likert scale regarding a study of assessment of language proficiency conducted at Roma Tre University are used for a comparison of the new procedure with some known measures of interrater absolute agreement.

20. Wellens Syndrome without chest pain, is it possible?

Author

TORELLI, E., SARDEO, F., NUZZO, E., CICCHINELLI, S., PETRUCCI, M., PIGNATARO, G., COVINO, M., FRANCESCHI, F., and CANDELLI, M.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Wellens syndrome is a typical electrocardiographic and clinical pattern that correlates with a severe proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). It is associated with previous angina, no or slightly increased cardiac markers, and two ECG patterns: diphasic T wave in V2-V3 (Type A) or deep negative T waves from V1 to V4 (type B). In this paper, we described two cases with asymptomatic Wellens patterns. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We describe two cases of Wellens syndrome ECG pattern that we observed in our Emergency Department not accompanied by chest pain or angina equivalents. RESULTS: Both patients presented significant stenosis of LAD at the coronary angiography. CONCLUSIONS: Asymptomatic patients presenting with Wellens ECG pattern should perform a coronary arteriography cause of the risk of a severe LAD stenosis. We need further studies to confirm if all "silent" Wellens syndromes deserve angiographic study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: To determine associations between positive and negative attitudes and hookah tobacco smoking (HTS) among college students. Methods: Among a random sample of university students (N = 852), multivariable logistic regression models assessed associations between positive and negative attitudes toward HTS. Results: Positive attitudes were associated with adjusted odds of 4.32 (95% CI = 3.20, 5.82) for current HTS, whereas negative attitudes were associated with lower adjusted odds for current smoking HTS (AOR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.53, 0.76). Positive attitudes were also associated with adjusted odds of 9.31 (95% CI = 6.77, 12.80) for intention for future hookah use among non-HTS users. Conclusion: Positive attitudes toward HTS were more strongly associated with HTS compared to negative attitudes. It may be particularly valuable for future research and interventions to focus on decreasing positive attitudes toward HTS.

Abstract

Hookah tobacco smoking is increasing among US college students, including those who would not otherwise use tobacco. Part of hookah's appeal is attributed to the perception that hookah is less harmful than cigarettes. The aims of this study were to assess knowledge of harmful exposures associated with hookah smoking relative to cigarette smoking and to determine associations between this knowledge and hookah smoking outcomes. Students (N=852) at the University of Florida were randomly sampled via e-mail to obtain information on demographics, hookah smoking behavior and knowledge of five exposures (e.g. tar and nicotine). Multivariable logistic regression models assessed independent associations between knowledge and hookah smoking outcomes. Of the five factual knowledge items asked, 475 (55.8%) of the respondents answered none correctly. In multivariable models, correct responses to any knowledge items were not associated with lower odds of hookah smoking or susceptibility to hookah smoking in the future. Although college students are largely unaware of the toxicant exposures associated with hookah smoking, there is little association between knowledge and hookah smoking behavior. © The Author 2012.

Abstract

Aims The average US adolescent is exposed to 34 references to alcohol in popular music daily. Although brand recognition is an independent, potent risk factor for alcohol outcomes among adolescents, alcohol brand appearances in popular music have not been assessed systematically. We aimed to determine the prevalence of and contextual elements associated with alcohol brand appearances in US popular music. Design Qualitative content analysis. Setting We used Billboard Magazine to identify songs to which US adolescents were most exposed in 2005-07. For each of the 793 songs, two trained coders analyzed independently the lyrics of each song for references to alcohol and alcohol brand appearances. Subsequent in-depth assessments utilized Atlas.ti to determine contextual factors associated with each of the alcohol brand appearances. Measurements Our final code book contained 27 relevant codes representing six categories: alcohol types, consequences, emotional states, activities, status and objects. Findings Average inter-rater reliability was high (κ=0.80), and all differences were easily adjudicated. Of the 793 songs in our sample, 169 (21.3%) referred explicitly to alcohol, and of those, 41 (24.3%) contained an alcohol brand appearance. Consequences associated with alcohol were more often positive than negative (41.5% versus 17.1%, P<0.001). Alcohol brand appearances were associated commonly with wealth (63.4%), sex (58.5%), luxury objects (51.2%), partying (48.8%), other drugs (43.9%) and vehicles (39.0%). Conclusions One in five songs sampled from US popular music had explicit references to alcohol, and one-quarter of these mentioned a specific alcohol brand. These alcohol brand appearances are associated commonly with a luxury life-style characterized by wealth, sex, partying and other drugs. © 2011 The Authors, Addiction © 2011 Society for the Study of Addiction.

Abstract

The study compares how native speakers of German from the area of Innsbruck (Austria) and native speakers of Italian from the area of Rome (Italy) perceive the communicative act of backing out of an invitation for dinner at the last minute, in a situation of low social distance. The purpose of the study is twofold: to shed light on the orientation of Austrian German and Italian languages/cultures in terms of linguistic politeness, and to expand empirical cross-cultural research to a less-commonly investigated speech act. Data collected by means of a discourse completion task (DCT) are triangulated with responses to an assessment question and metapragmatic comments, and analyzed following a quantitative approach. The analysis of the DCT findings shows some cross-group differences in the choice of speech act realization strategies and internal modifiers. However, the overall results reveal more similarities than differences between the two populations regarding the informants’ perception of face threat in last-minute cancellations. This seems to disprove the idea that the two groups belong to different cultural frameworks in terms of politeness orientation, at least as far as it concerns the specific speech act under investigation.

Convivenze di fatto presupposti registrazione anagrafica
Abstract

Convivenze "di fatto" è oramai, terminologicamente, un ossimoro, atteso che tale inedita denominazione è contenuta nella prima legge (la n. 76 del 2016) che avrebbe l'ambizione di offrirne una regolamentazione organica., L'analisi dei loro presupposti di rilevanza viene condotta con particolare attenzione al ruolo della registrazione anagrafica. Le implicazioni sottese alle opzioni interpretative rivolte, alternativamente, verso la valenza meramente probatoria, ovvero costitutiva, di suddetta dichiarazione, sono esaminate anche alla luce dei primi indirizzi giurisprudenziali emersi in argomento.

Tenuità del fatto Giudice di pace Processo minorile
Abstract

Appena entrata in vigore la causa di non punibilità per particolare tenuità del fatto, tra i nodi interpretativi da sciogliere è emerso subito quello concernente l’operatività dell’art. 131-bis c.p. nel procedimento penale dinanzi al giudice di pace e in quello minorile. La presenza, rispettivamente, nell’enclave dell’art. 34 d.lgs. 28 agosto 2000, n. 274 e dell'art. 27 d.P.R. 22 settembre 1988, n. 448, di istituti “gemelli”, forgiati sulle specifiche esigenze di tali microsistemi, impone di chiarire se il giudice di pace e quello minorile siano vincolati a fare uso della sola norma “speciale” ovvero possano maneggiare anche la disposizione codicistica, secondo le peculiarità del caso concreto.

Abstract

In this exploratory study we tried to verify to which extent Italian and Brazilian students who have attended a course of Intercomprehension (IC) between Romance languages, mainly focused on vocabulary and morphosyntax, are able to assess the adequacy of different realizations of the speech act of canceling last minute in some of the target languages. Informants (24 Italians and 25 Brazilians) were administered a judgement test of pragmatic adequacy, and their responses were compared to those of native speakers. Although data have been only partially analyzed, the first results mostly show that IC learners’ judgements differ from those of native speakers. This suggests that they did not develop pragmatic knowledge of the target languages through IC instruction without a specific focus on pragmatics.

Abstract

Background: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is a condition reported in 5-35% of patients treated with antibiotics, especially in older patients with comorbidities. In most cases, antibiotic-associated diarrhea is not associated with serious complications, but it can prolong hospitalization and provoke Clostridium difficile infection. An important role in the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea is carried out by some probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus GG or the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii that showed good efficacy and a significant reduction in antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Similarly, the Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 showed significant benefits in acute diarrhea, reducing its duration and abdominal pain., Aim: The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of a mix of two probiotic strains ( Limosilactobacillus reuteri LMG P-27481 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103; Reuterin GG ® , NOOS, Italy), in association with antibiotics (compared to antibiotics used alone), in reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, clostridium difficile infection, and other gastrointestinal symptoms in adult hospitalized patients., Patients and Methods: We enrolled 113 (49M/64F, mean age 69.58 ± 21.28 years) adult patients treated with antibiotics who were hospitalized at the Internal Medicine Department of the San Carlo di Nancy Hospital in Rome from January 2023 to September 2023. Patients were randomized to receive probiotics 1.4 g twice/day in addition with antibiotics (Reuterin GG ® group, total: 56 patients, 37F/19M, 67.16 ± 20.5 years old) or antibiotics only (control group, total: 57 patients, 27F/30 M, 71 ± 22 years old)., Results: Patients treated with Reuterin GG ® showed a significant reduction in diarrhea and clostridium difficile infection. In particular, 28% (16/57) of patients in the control group presented with diarrhea during treatment, compared with 11% (6/56) in the probiotic group ( p < 0.05). Interestingly, 7/57 (11%) of patients treated only with antibiotics developed clostridium difficile infection compared to 0% in the probiotic group ( p < 0.01). Finally, 9% (5/57) of patients in the control group presented with vomiting compared with 2% (1/56) in the probiotic group ( p < 0.05)., Conclusions: Our study showed, for the first time, the efficacy of these two specific probiotic strains in preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea and clostridium difficile infection in adult hospitalized patients treated with antibiotic therapy. This result allows us to hypothesize that the use of specific probiotic strains during antibiotic therapy can prevent dysbiosis and subsequent antibiotic-associated diarrhea and clostridium difficile infection, thus resulting in both patient and economic health care benefits.

Abstract

Rationale: Rodent studies have shown that pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) levels are low in sepsis. This may cause cells to shift to anaerobic metabolism, resulting in increased lactate production. Alterations in PDH during sepsis have never been studied in humans., Objectives: The objective of this pilot study was to measure PDH activity and quantity in patients with severe sepsis., Methods: We conducted a pilot case-control study at a single urban tertiary care center. We compared PDH activity and quantity between patients with severe sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit and healthy control subjects. PDH activity and quantity were measured in isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We measured PDH activity and quantity in control subjects at baseline and in patients with sepsis at 0 (baseline), 24, 48, and 72 hours., Measurements and Main Results: We enrolled 56 patients with sepsis and 20 control subjects with at least one blood sample being drawn from each patient. PDH activity and quantity in the sepsis group were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.001). In multivariable linear regression adjusting for age, race, sex, and assay plate, the difference remained significant. Patients with sepsis who died had significantly lower PDH activity compared with those who survived (P = 0.03)., Conclusions: PDH activity and quantity is decreased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of humans with severe sepsis when compared with healthy control subjects, and may be associated with mortality. Whether decreased PDH activity plays a role in lactate metabolism or whether pharmacologic modification of PDH activity may improve outcomes remains unknown.

Abstract

Objective: To determine associations between positive and negative attitudes and hookah tobacco smoking (HTS) among college students., Methods: Among a random sample of university students (N = 852), multivariable logistic regression models assessed associations between positive and negative attitudes toward HTS., Results: Positive attitudes were associated with adjusted odds of 4.32 (95% CI = 3.20, 5.82) for current HTS, whereas negative attitudes were associated with lower adjusted odds for current smoking HTS (AOR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.53, 0.76). Positive attitudes were also associated with adjusted odds of 9.31 (95% CI = 6.77, 12.80) for intention for future hookah use among non-HTS users., Conclusion: Positive attitudes toward HTS were more strongly associated with HTS compared to negative attitudes. It may be particularly valuable for future research and interventions to focus on decreasing positive attitudes toward HTS.

Abstract

Hookah tobacco smoking is increasing among US college students, including those who would not otherwise use tobacco. Part of hookah's appeal is attributed to the perception that hookah is less harmful than cigarettes. The aims of this study were to assess knowledge of harmful exposures associated with hookah smoking relative to cigarette smoking and to determine associations between this knowledge and hookah smoking outcomes. Students (N = 852) at the University of Florida were randomly sampled via e-mail to obtain information on demographics, hookah smoking behavior and knowledge of five exposures (e.g. tar and nicotine). Multivariable logistic regression models assessed independent associations between knowledge and hookah smoking outcomes. Of the five factual knowledge items asked, 475 (55.8%) of the respondents answered none correctly. In multivariable models, correct responses to any knowledge items were not associated with lower odds of hookah smoking or susceptibility to hookah smoking in the future. Although college students are largely unaware of the toxicant exposures associated with hookah smoking, there is little association between knowledge and hookah smoking behavior.

Abstract

Aims: The average US adolescent is exposed to 34 references to alcohol in popular music daily. Although brand recognition is an independent, potent risk factor for alcohol outcomes among adolescents, alcohol brand appearances in popular music have not been assessed systematically. We aimed to determine the prevalence of and contextual elements associated with alcohol brand appearances in US popular music., Design: Qualitative content analysis., Setting: We used Billboard Magazine to identify songs to which US adolescents were most exposed in 2005-07. For each of the 793 songs, two trained coders analyzed independently the lyrics of each song for references to alcohol and alcohol brand appearances. Subsequent in-depth assessments utilized Atlas.ti to determine contextual factors associated with each of the alcohol brand appearances., Measurements: Our final code book contained 27 relevant codes representing six categories: alcohol types, consequences, emotional states, activities, status and objects., Findings: Average inter-rater reliability was high (κ = 0.80), and all differences were easily adjudicated. Of the 793 songs in our sample, 169 (21.3%) referred explicitly to alcohol, and of those, 41 (24.3%) contained an alcohol brand appearance. Consequences associated with alcohol were more often positive than negative (41.5% versus 17.1%, P < 0.001). Alcohol brand appearances were associated commonly with wealth (63.4%), sex (58.5%), luxury objects (51.2%), partying (48.8%), other drugs (43.9%) and vehicles (39.0%)., Conclusions: One in five songs sampled from US popular music had explicit references to alcohol, and one-quarter of these mentioned a specific alcohol brand. These alcohol brand appearances are associated commonly with a luxury life-style characterized by wealth, sex, partying and other drugs., (© 2011 The Authors, Addiction © 2011 Society for the Study of Addiction.)

Abstract

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of cytologic evaluation of ovarian cystic masses., Study Design: Sixty-seven ovarian cystic masses with fine needle aspiration cytology and concurrent or subsequent cystectomy/oophorectomy with histology were examined. Correlations with malignancy were made with 4 parameters: serum CA-125, radiographic size and architecture, and cytology., Results: Histologic examination of the 67 cases revealed 10 malignancies including 3 primary ovarian carcinomas, 2 metastatic neoplasms, and 5 borderline tumors. In the 10 malignant cases, the cytologic diagnoses were that of benign (n=2), benign but non-diagnostic/paucicellular (n=3), and atypical/malignant (n=5), giving an overall sensitivity for cytology of 50%. However, there were no false positives (specificity of 100%). Reasons for the low sensitivity of cytology were the paucicellular nature of aspirate (n=3), focality of ovarian borderline tumors (n=5), and surface involvement by metastatic cancer (n=2). The 4 parameters were independent of one another and none proved to have significant correlation with malignancy (p>0.05). Thirty-nine percent of the aspirates had low cellularity (6% non-diagnostic/33% paucicellular)., Conclusions: Cytology was the only parameter with 100% specificity and 100% positive predictive value. However, paucicellular specimens are a common problem in aspiration from this site., (Copyright © 2010 S. Karger AG, Basel.)
