Background: Innovative technologies and informatics offer a wide range of services to health districts, doctors, nurses, patients, is changing the traditional concept care. In last few years, availability portable devices, their easiness transport use, capability collect transmit various clinical data have resulted in fast development telemedicine. However, despite its potential impact improving patient conditions, cost effectiveness reported literature, telemedicine not daily practice.
Serum lipids, phospholipid fractions and the composition of serum lipid fatty acids were studied in 20 children presenting β-thalassaemia major, heterozygous normal controls. Total phospholipids, their cholesterol significantly lower patients with thalassaemia major. These changes referred to hepatic damage severe anaemia, respectively. Some polyunsaturated decreased major as compared heterozygotes Since these alterations are a sign oxidation, causes this phenomenon discussed.
We studied the effect of Telehomecare (THC) in a group cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.Forced Expiratory Volume first second (FEV1) was monitored at home, with aim an early recognition relapses pulmonary infections. FEV1 for 4.5 years, using THC as tool, addition to standard therapeutic protocol. 16 CF patients were followed by doctors experts treatment CF, over period years. compared control among seen past identical period, matching number, age, sex, respiratory function, bacterial...
Telemedical wound care is one of the possible applications teledermatology. The treatment pediatric wounds needs frequent and periodic assessments their local status adjustment dressings choice.We present our experience using telemedicine in successful assessment 19 patients at OPBG, Rome . Photographs with a digital camera were taken sent weekly by mail to specialist Rome. This allowed expert diagnose evaluate periodically.In shown cases, us have an immediate evaluation therapy adjustment....
The mechanism of the mechanically assisted mineral carbonation commercial olivine under flow CO2/N2 mixture has been elucidated by ex situ powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. overall CO2 conversion depends to rotation frequency mill’s engine, reached 85% within 90 minutes mechanical treatment, at a rate 2.5 l min-1. By tuning rotation, kinetics changed from sigmoid behaviour into more complex reaction pathway, involving subsequent steps. structural analyses...
Solid-state sodium ion conductors are crucial for the next generation of all-solid-state batteries with high capacity, low cost, and improved safety. Sodium closo-carbadodecaborate (NaCB
In present study we tested the possible presence of a saving for Italian National Health Service (INHS) when using telemonitoring in follow-up at home patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), aim to assess role Telemedicine rationalization hospital admissions.We performed an economic analysis costs incurred by INHS CF followed telemonitoring, recalled under suspicion or diagnosis acute pulmonary recurrence.We calculated, 19 retrieved period study, total compared traditional care € 132.144,91 24...
The Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Unit of Children's Hospital Bambino Gesù in Rome (Italy) has more than 25 years experience diagnosis and treatment Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) related diseases. CF actively collaborates with the Transplantation Division for follow-up patients who undergo lung transplantation, performed our since 1991. We present case a 19 year-old girl CF, severe respiratory failure which it was subjected to two transplant. During remote monitoring allowed...
Since 2001, in the Cystic Fibrosis Center of Pediatric Hospital Bambino Gesù Rome, we use telemedicine for monitoring our patients. While first published works reporting this experience, showed statistically significant reduction hospital admissions and a tendency over time towards better stability respiratory function telehomecare (THC) patients, here focus on trend Forced Expiratory Volume second (FEV1). In particular, investigate evolution clinical FEV1 index, by activities home patients...
