The control of the head movements during walking allows for stabilisation optic flow, a more effective processing vestibular system signals, and consequent equilibrium.In young individuals, oscillations upper body level are characterised by an attenuation linear acceleration going from pelvis to level. In elderly subjects ability implement this motor strategy is reduced. aim paper go deeper into mechanisms through which accelerations controlled walking, in both women specifically.A...
During COVID-19 emergency the majority of health structures in Europe saturated or nearly their availabilities already first weeks epidemic period especially some regions Italy and Spain. The aim this study is to analyse efficiency management hospital beds before outbreak at regional level France, Germany, This analysis can indicate a reference point for future on resource periods help managers, planners as well policy makers put place rapid effective response an situation. results clearly...
Since the end of February 2020 a severe diffusion COVID-19 has affected Italy and in particular its northern regions, resulting high demand hospitalizations intensive care units (ICUs). Hospitals are suffering degree patients to be treated for respiratory diseases majority health structures, especially north Italy, or at risk saturation. Therefore, question whether what extent reduction hospital beds occurred past years biased management emergency come front public debate. In our opinion,...
As the Italian health system is regionally based, COVID-19 emergency actions are based on a general lockdown imposed by national authority and then management at local level 21 regional authorities. Therefore, pandemic response plan developed each region led to different approaches. The aim of this paper analyze whether differences in patient may have influenced course epidemic. analysis regions considers strategies adopted terms hospitalization, treatment ICU home. Moreover, an in-depth was...
Purpose Identifying data reuse is challenging, due to technical reasons, and, in particular, incorrect citation practices among scholars. This paper aims propose an automatic method track the of deposited archives joined CESSDA (Consortium European Social Science Data Archives) infrastructure. The also offers overview on identified understand characteristics most reused sets. Design/methodology/approach sets stored GESIS archive, biggest and cited publications indexed by Scopus, tracked....
Aim of this paper is to provide a representation the telemedicine model implemented in Italy after COVID-19 experience. Telemedicine has opened up new possibilities for improving access medical care as well make health services more efficient and effective, overcoming geographical barriers. Despite these advantages, introduction such by national system was poor. Since 2020, authorities have been designing structured use telemedicine. This compulsorily local hospitals that had already...
Abstract Gender equality and Open Access (OA) are priorities within the European Research Area cross-cutting issues in research program H2020. openness also key elements of responsible innovation. However, despite common underlying targets fostering an inclusive, transparent sustainable environment, both analysed as independent topics. This paper represents a first exploration inter-linkages between gender OA analysing scientific production researchers Italian National Council under...
Background Modelling is an important part of information science. Models are abstractions reality. We use models in the following contexts: (1) to describe data and flows clinical practice scientists, (2) compare health systems care pathways, (3) understand how cases recorded record (4) model business models.Asthma condition associated with a substantial mortality morbidity. However, there difficulties determining who has condition, making both its incidence prevalence uncertain.Objective To...
Medical students are called to acquire competence manage disease in its dynamic evolution over time, learning analyze how clinical conditions evolve a patient's history and each condition interferes with the of other coexisting conditions. In this article, health issue network (HIN) approach is introduced as formal language based on Petri nets (PNs) model properties that particularly apposite for graphical representation HIN evolutionary paths. Moreover, PNs' underlying mathematical allows...
In gait analysis, walking is assumed to be periodic for the sake of simplicity, despite fact that, strictly speaking, it can only approximate periodicity and, as such, may referred pseudo-periodic. This study aims at: 1) quantifying pseudo-periodicity using information concerning a single stride; 2) investigating effects pathway length on periodicity; 3) separately upper and lower body parts movement; 4) verifying validity foot-floor contact events markers cycle period.Ten young healthy...
Background: Electronic surveillance using clinical and administrative data from multiple sources has been reported as a tool for of surgical site infections (SSIs), but experiences are limited. In this study, we aimed to assess the accuracy text-searching algorithm detect SSIs in children based on application regular expressions unstructured notes collected through different information systems. Methods: We developed an system warehouse that integrates provided by electronic health records...
Abstract To investigate the effects of ageing on neural control strategies governing sprint cycling a friction-loaded cycle-ergometer, 10 older (aged 70–83yr) and 8 young 19–35yr) healthy women completed seven 6-s all-out trials against varying loads. Root mean square (RMS), median frequency muscle fibre conduction velocity were determined from vastus lateralis dominant limb during each pedal stroke. Peak power was 43% lower in group compared to younger (p < 0.001) accompanied by...
In this paper we present a comprehensive model for quality assessment taking into account structure, process and outcome dimensions introduced in the Donabedian framework. To test our hypothesis case study based on Italian healthcare services is reported focusing analysis of hospital bed management phenomenon both active passive patient mobility.
Aim of this paper is to propose a methodology design Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) tools in clinical data warehouse architecture based on the Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR). This approach takes advantages use infrastructure as one main source information feed warehouse, taking also into account that documents produced by heterogeneous legacy systems are structured using HL7 CDA standard. describes activities be performed map collected different types document with dimensional model...
Patient mobility represents a proxy measure to assess the quality and availability of hospital services, especially in decentralized health systems. Different studies have been focused on interregional Italy capture factors influencing this phenomenon. Among them, capacity is generally captured through number beds per population. However, indicator does not consider distance hospitals accessibility extra-regional beds, particular for patients living at regional borders. The aim paper analyse...
Business Process Management (BPM) has been increasingly used in recent years the healthcare domain to analyze, optimize, harmonize and compare clinical processes. The main aim of this methodology is model interactions between medical organizational activities needed deliver health services, measure their complexity, variability deviations improve quality care its efficiency. Among different tools, languages notations developed decades, UML (Unified Modeling Language) represents a widely...
Patient mobility is considered one of the main concerns for policy-makers as it impacts financial sustainability regional health systems due to high percentage patients accessing care services in other regions. For a better understanding this phenomenon, necessary define behavioral model able represent patient-system interaction. In paper we adopted Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) approach with aim simulating patient flow across regions and determining which are factors influencing it. This may...
This paper proposes a data warehouse architecture based on the Electronic Health Record (EHR) technological infrastructure developed in Italy. The adoption of EHRs can represent possible solution to integrate provided by different information sources transforming them into useful knowledge. allows define metrics and assessment clinical performance as well take corrective actions support better business decision-making. describes main advantages application EHR for secondary purposes reports...
Children dependent on long-term ventilation need the planning, provision and monitoring of complex services generally provided at home by professionals belonging to different care settings. The collaboration among improves efficiency continuity especially when treating children with needs.
