Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is a prominent strategy comprising all the operational techniques and actions required to ensure machine availability prevent machine-down failure. One of main challenges PdM design develop an embedded smart system monitor predict health status machine. In this work, we use data-driven approach based on learning applied woodworking industrial machines for major Italian corporation. Predicted failures probabilities are calculated through tree-based classification...
A 45 year old male obese patient with a previous history of repaired congenital heart disease developed worsening failure making transplantation listing mandatory. Unfortunately, due to his anthropometric measures, the search for suitable brain-dead donor was unsuccessful. For this reason, he accepted be enrolled in controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) program. According Italian Law regulating declaration cardiac arrest (no-touch period 20 minutes-one longest world), we faced...
The purposes of this study were to validate the use a single standard question for rapid screening restless legs syndrome (RLS) and analyze eventual effects presence RLS on self‐assessed daytime sleepiness, global clinical severity cognitive functioning. We evaluated group 521 consecutive patients who accessed our neurology clinic different reasons. Beside answer age, sex, diagnosis, following items collected from all normal controls: four criteria RLS, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS),...
We assessed coronary flow velocity pattern and reserve (CFR) by contrast-enhanced transthoracic echocardiography (CE-TTE) as markers of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) related to allograft vasculopathy (CAV) after heart transplantation (HT).Deceleration time diastolic (DDT) CFR were measured in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) CE-TTE 66 consecutive HT patients (follow-up 19+/-5 months). was calculated ratio hyperemic basal velocity. Angiographies analyzed a qualitative grading...
The seismic response of freestanding elements is typically extremely critical, and this associated with a high risk in the case museum objects artefacts. This paper reports preliminary results an experimental testing campaign aimed at assessing dynamic properties performance Shake table tests typical display containing representative art object (vase) are performed. Both behavior specimens were assessed. Tentative damage assessment correlations developed. study sheds light on critical tested...
In this study, we assessed the mid-term outcomes of patients who received a heart donation from marginal donor (MD), and compared them with those an organ standard (SD).All underwent HTx between January 2012 December 2020 were enrolled at single institution. The primary endpoints early long-term survival MD recipients. Risk factors for graft failure (PGF) mortality in recipients also analyzed. secondary endpoint was comparison versus SD recipients.In total, 238 HTx, 64 (26.9%) whom MD....
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection represents a major threat for heart transplant recipients (HTXs). CMV-specific T cells effectively control virus infection, and thus, assessment of antiviral immune recovery may have clinical utility in identifying HTXs at risk infection. In this study, 10 CMV-seropositive (R(+)) pretransplant patients 48 preemptively treated R(+) were examined before after 100 days posttransplant. Preemptive treatment is supposed to favor the recovery. CMV DNAemia gamma...
Abstract Chronological age represents the main factor in donor selection criteria for organ transplantation, however aging is very heterogeneous. Defining biological of individual organs may contribute to supporting this process. In study we examined heart [right (RA)/left atrium (LA)] and peripheral blood leucocytes same subject, compared these assess whether mirrors cardiac aging. Biological was studied 35 donors (0.4–72 years) by exploring mitotic non-mitotic pathways, using telomere...
Biological treatments focused on stabilizing and detoxifying olive mill wastewater facilitate agronomic reuse for irrigation fertilization. Anaerobic digestion is particularly attractive in view of energy recovery, but severely hampered by the microbial toxicity wastewater. In this work, addition biochar to mixture was studied improve stability efficiency anaerobic process. Kinetics yields biogas production were evaluated batch tests with concentrations ranging from 0 45 g L−1. The reduced...
The toxicity of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) is commonly attributed to monomeric phenols. OMW were treated in an aerated, stirred reactor containing agricultural soil, where the oxidative polymerization phenols took place. In 24 h, decreased by >90%. This resulted a corresponding reduction phytotoxicity, as measured germination tests with tomato and English cress seeds, microbial toxicity, lag phase duration Bacillus cereus batch growth. Soil capability after irrigation was assessed...
Little is known about specific IL-23 alterations associated with breast cancer and the data available are still controversial. Therefore, evaluation of changes in serum levels may add further information on role this cytokine patients. The aim study was to evaluate prospectively prognostic importance circulating patients untreated cancer, respect healthy controls, association clinico-pathological variables. involved 50 women diagnosed stages I-IV 38 controls. Of patients, 37 were recruited...
Heart transplantation is considered the gold standard for treatment of advanced end-stage heart failure. However, donors after brain death are decreasing, whereas patients on transplant waitlist constantly rising. The introduction ex vivo machine perfusion device has been a turning point; in fact, these systems able to significantly reduce ischemic times and have potential effect ischemia-related damage reduction. From clinical standpoint, machines show emerging results terms donor pool...
Abstract. An attempt has been made to pharmacologically enhance PRL secretion improve lactation. Twenty‐one puerperal women with past history of defective lactation and levels under the normal range were studied for 4 weeks postpartum. Eleven patients who received orally 20 mg a day metoclopramide showed persistently elevated basal serum during four weeks' observation period. These also had good milk production their infants did not need supplements. Ten receiving placebo, however, an abrupt...
The aim of this study was to assess the significance positive C4d capillary immunostaining endomyocardial biopsies and its correlation clinical outcome in adult heart transplant recipients.Nine hundred eighty-five from 107 recipients were evaluated. Immunostaining for detection intragraft deposition performed on paraffin-embedded tissue using anti-human polyclonal antibody.Positive staining present 36 patients (34%) antibody-mediated rejection eight (7%). subdivided into four groups basis...
