Rotator cuff repair typically results in a satisfactory, although variable, clinical outcome. However, anatomic failure of the repaired tendon often occurs.Patch augmentation can improve open rotator by supporting healing process, protecting suture, and reducing friction subacromial space.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A total 152 patients with posterosuperior massive tear were treated only (control group; n = 51; mean age, 67.06 ± 4.42 years), together collagen patch (collagen 49; 66.53...
SARS-CoV-2 infection shows a wide-ranging clinical severity, requiring prognostic markers. We focused on S100B, calcium-binding protein present in biological fluids, being reliable biomarker disorders having inflammatory processes as common basis and RAGE main receptor. Since Covid-19 is characterized by potent response also involving RAGE, we tested if S100B serum levels were related to disease severity. Serum samples (n = 74) collected from hospitalized positive patients admitted Covid...
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) were introduced into the market in 2006 and their technological features have evolved substantially over time. Currently, there are four different generations of e-cigs that broadly considered less harmful than use combusted tobacco products although passive exposure to aerosols often occurs public spaces indoor environments. The study aim was evaluate levels airborne particulate matter (PM) emitted during all e-cigs, testing modalities. PM10, PM4, PM2.5 PM1...
Potential exposure to toxic elements initially occurs during gestation and after birth via breast milk, which is the principal source of nutrients for infants first months life. In this study, we evaluated whether maternal oral supplementation with a multi-strain probiotic product can protect from arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) milk. In-vitro studies bacterial strains present in showed high tolerance As, Cd, Hg, Pb, good binding capacity Pb (72%, 81%, 64%, respectively)...
Phthalates (or phthalate esters, PAEs) and bisphenol A (BPA) are widely used in various industries, particularly the fields of cosmetics packaging, they increase malleability workability materials. As a result their use, some international health organizations have begun to study them. In this study, authors developed methodology for simultaneous determination dimethyl (DMP), diethyl (DEP), diisobutyl (DiBP); dibutyl (DBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) (DEHP); di-n-octyl-phthalate (DnOP) from drinking...
To control the presence of Legionella in an old hospital water system, integrated strategy disinfection-filtration was implemented university Umberto I Rome. Due to antiquated buildings, system design and extension (38 buildings), shock hyperchlorination (sodium hypochlorite, 20–50 ppm free chlorine at distal points for 1–2 h) followed by continuous (0.5-1.0 mg/L points) were adopted, microbiological chemical monitoring supply carried out (December 2006-December 2011). Overall, 1308 samples...
Passive exposure profiles to submicronic particles (SMPs, 5.6-560 nm) of traditional cigarettes and new electronic commercial devices (e-cig IQOS®, a heat-not-burn smoking device) were compared. During smoking, SMPs released by resulted four-times higher than those remained high for at least one hour, while values returned immediately similar background devices. In all experiments, approximately half so small reach the alveolar region.
Particulate matter has recently received more attention than other pollutants. PM10 and PM2.5 have been primarily monitored, whereas scientists are focusing their studies on finer granulometric sizes due both to high number concentration penetration efficiency into the respiratory system. The purpose of this study is investigate population exposure UltraFine Particles (UFP, submicrons in general) outdoor environments. particle doses deposited system compared between healthy individuals...
