Ten sets of vertebral biomodels and the corresponding drilling guides were created to evaluate implantation accuracy in cervical (C5-C6) lumbar (L4-L5) vertebrae cats. Smooth pins implanted using on right side five randomly assigned biomodel left remaining sets, with contralateral undergoing freehand implantation. Subsequently, a new tomographic study was conducted measure angles. The pre-implantation angles compared post-implantation between techniques among sets. guide-assisted exhibited...
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of herbal medicine red orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) and swimming for 84 days on animal, heart, abdominal fat weight histomorphometric aspects heart total cholesterol Wistar rats. The rats were divided into seven experimental groups 12 animals each, consisting a normocaloric diet (Dn), hypercaloric (Dh), (DnH), (DhH), (DnS), (DhS), diet, swimming, (DhSH). data analyzed statistically by Tukey test considered significant when p<0.05. Groups...
To date there is a lack of evidence about the impact shiftwork on occurrence acute low back pain among registered nurses working non-traditional shifts, including nights and 12-hour shifts. The objectives present study were: 1) to investigate shiftwork, physical activity body mass index female shift-registered nurses; 2) suggest preventive interventions.The author conducted cross-sectional nested case-control analysis data concerning staffing for employed in hospital wards.The found...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative temporal changes in tibial plateau angle (TPA) after a levelling osteotomy (TPLO) dogs. TPA thirty-two dogs were measured before surgery (TPA1), immediately TPLO (TPA2), and later at healing site (TPA3). Three observers carried out three measurements for each patient time evaluation. observed over bone (2.05 ± 3.05°); however, no statistical significance noted when comparing TPA3 TPA1. There differences inter-observer among TPA1, TPA2,...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are an important issue in terms of quality care. HAIs impact patient safety by contributing to higher rates preventable mortality and prolonged hospitalizations. In Italy, analysis the currently available accreditation systems shows a substantial heterogeneity approaches for prevention surveillance hospitals. The aim present study is develop propose use synthetic assessment tool that could be implemented homogenously throughout nation.An nine...
Hand hygiene is the primary preventive measure against health care-associated infections in terms of cost-effectiveness. In 2005, WHO proposed "Global Patient Safety Challenge" campaign, with aim reducing overall incidence such infections, through multimodal programs and strategies, interactive training tools standardised methods for monitoring compliance.On basis project "Rimani", sponsored by Health Social Care Authority Emilia-Romagna, Istituto Ortopedico Gaetano Pini has implemented a...
Health-care associated infections (HAIs) represents a phenomenon of central importance all over Europe. Every year 4,5 millions cases are detected in European Union, with 37.000 related deaths. Surgical-site (SSIs) one the most common HAIs, that an increased length stay, re-operation rate, intensive care admissions and higher mortality rate.G. Pini Orthopedics Institute implemented last two years multimodal strategy for controlling preventing particular SSIs.This paper describes prevention's...
Literature reports an incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) in oncological patients undergoing prosthetic replacement between 8% and 35% after first implantation 43% revision. The purpose this retrospective study, conducted at the oncologic orthopaedic unit G. Pini Orthopaedic Hospital Milan, was to evaluate: - number SSIs megaprosthetic reconstruction 2008 2011, possible risk factors associated with onset SSIs, antibiotic prophylaxis applied.We reviewed medical records who underwent...

Purpose To evaluate the biomechanical properties of a novel total hip replacement femoral stem. Methods Eight pairs femurs from dog cadavers were used. The separated into different groups. A stem with convex proximal portion (Stem B) was biomechanically evaluated and compared to awell-known veterinary collared A). Femoral stems inserted contralateral same dog, forming 16 constructs. flexo-compression load applied on axial axis each sample. Maximum strength, deflection, stiffness, energy...
The cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most cause of death globally, and represent a problem public health,both in terms morbidity disability. Regional Centre for disease prevention Control Veneto Region (CCMR- Veneto) proposed structured model operating ways similar to cancer screening: active recall healthy subjects, offers intervene selected subjects. Subjects both gender aged between 45-59 years, after pre-evaluation/exclusion by general practitioner, were recalled evaluated trained...
In our Hand Micro-surgery Department surgery procedures identified by some regional legislation as "low-complexity care interventions" (BOCA) are carry out. For this reason, pilot experience, it has been decided to apply Diagnostic Therapeutic Path (DTP) type of surgeries in order improve the offered service.From 2011 2012 we collected data about 410 BOCA and monitored a series indicators.The patients were classified ASA score 1-2 (99%) they had postoperative observation time less than 24h...
