Abstract Despite lower patient adherence, the overnight split-dose (SD) intestinal preparation regimen is currently recommended for early morning colonoscopies. Using low-volume preparation, we compared performance of a “day before late” (DBL) regimen, with whole taken between 8.30 pm and midnight on day endoscopic procedure vs SD colonoscopies scheduled 8 am 10 am. Patients were randomized to DBL group (n = 162) or 158). The took second dose 5 hours colonoscopy. Successful bowel cleansing,...
Initiatives that rely upon the contributions of volunteers to reach a specific goal are growing more and with success Web 2.0–interactive applications. Also scientific projects testing exploiting volunteers' collaboration, but quality information obtained this approach is often puzzling. This paper offers rich overview many where geographic committed volunteers, aim defining strategies improve quality. By describing real examples Volunteer Geographic Information (VGI), contribution...
Summary Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex and heterogeneous autoimmune disorder with multi-factorial pathogenesis. Like other disorders, the possible role of specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) gene polymorphisms in predisposing to SSc has been hypothesized, but it remains controversial. CTLA-4 promoter (−318C/T) exon 1 (+49 A/G) have analysed 43 Italian females 93 unrelated matched healthy controls by newly designed tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation...
The monitoring of the environment's status at continental scale involves integration information derived by analysis multiple, complex, multidisciplinary, and large‐scale phenomena. Thus, there is a need to define synthetic Environmental Indicators (EIs) that concisely represent these phenomena in manner suitable for decision‐making. This research proposes flexible system EIs based on soft fusion contributing environmental factors from multi‐source spatial data (mainly Earth Observation...
Background The quality of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been recently identified as a major priority being associated with many outcomes and patient's experience. Objective To assess adherence endoscopists to the European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) performance measures for upper lower GI in Italy. Methods All endoscopist members Italian Digestive (SIED) were invited from October 2018 December participate self-administered questionnaire-based survey. questionnaire...
Fifty-three consecutive cases of adult CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) have been analyzed. Thirty-six were classified as Hodgkin's disease like variety (HL) (67%) and seventeen so-called common type (CT) (33%). All strongly expressed the CD30/Ki-l antigen; neoplastic cells CD 15, CD45 EM A in 60%, 44% 33% cases, respectively; T, B null phenotypes found 37%, 17% 46% cases. Bulky mediastinal, symptoms, extranodal at diagnosis present 36%, 49% 25% EBV encoded latent membrane protein...
A straightforward way to map burned areas from remotely sensed imagery is integrate partial evidence of burn provided by multiple spectral indices (SIs). Our approach relies on fuzzy set theory generate integrated layers overall positive (PE) and negative (NE) scores. In order reduce commission errors, we propose the use NE for revising PE. Revised are input a region growing algorithm produce areas. Thematic Mapper (TM) images, acquired over Mediterranean area, were used derive SIs define...
EDI is a general purpose, template-driven metadata editor for creating XML-based descriptions. Originally aimed at defining rich and standard geospatial resources, It can be easily customised in order to comply with broad range of schemata domains.EDI creates HTML5 [9] forms advanced assisted editing capabilities compiles them into XML files. The examples included the distribution implement profiles ISO 19139 geographic information [14], such as core INSPIRE [10], well OGC [8] sensor...
Abstract An accurate assessment of body iron accumulation is essential for the diagnosis and therapy overload in diseases such as thalassemia or hemochromatosis. Magnetic detector susceptometry MRI are noninvasive techniques capable detecting liver. Although transverse relaxation rate measured by can be correlated with presence iron, a calibration step needed to obtain liver concentration. provides an evaluation whole In this article, we describe retrospective observational study comparing...

However, a synoptic overview their contributions with...
Abstract: Thirteen consecutive adult patients with primary refractory ( n = 5) or relapsed 8) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were treated by an induction schedule (FLAG) consisting of Fludarabine (30 mg/sqm/d) plus high dose Cytarabine (HD‐ara‐C: 2 g/sqm/d) (d 1–5) and G‐CSF (from d 0 to polymorphonuclear recovery). Patients achieving complete remission (CR) administered a second FLAG course as consolidation then submitted individualized program post‐remission therapy, depending on the...
