Assessing The Impact Of A Community-Based Pro-Active Monitoring Program Addressing The Need For Care Of Community-Dwelling Citizens Aged More Than 80: Protocol For A Prospective Pragmatic Trial And Results Of The Baseline Assessment, Elisa Terracciano
Translational Medicine @ UniSa
The aim of this paper is to describe the protocol of a study assessing the impact of a Communitybased pro-Active Monitoring Program, by measuring the effect in counteracting the adverse outcomes related to frailty. Methods: a prospective pragmatic trial will be carried out to describe the impact of an intervention on people aged>80, adjusted for relevant parameters: demographic variables, comorbidities, disability and bio-psycho-social frailty. They have been assessed with the Functional Geriatric Evaluation questionnaire that is a validated tool. Mortality, Acute Hospital Admission rates, Emergency Room Visit rates and Institutionalization rates are the main outcomes to be evaluated annually, …

Association Of Drowning Mortality With Preventive Interventions: A Quarter Of A Million Deaths Evaluation In Brazil, David Szpilman, Danielli B. Mello, Ana Catarina Queiroga, Rogerio Ferreira Emygdio Rfe
International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education
In 2015, drowning in Brazil was responsible for 6,043 deaths and was the second leading cause of death in children. Although several prevention strategies have been promoted to reduce drowning, most are still based on low levels of evidence. This study evaluated the effectiveness of prevention and water safety interventions in reducing drowning mortality. Data obtained from the National Mortality System for 36 years were split in two time periods to allow the comparison of drowning mortality numbers before and after implementation of SOBRASA’s drowning prevention and water safety programs and to check for any positive effects attributable to such …
Embryonic Mortality In Sheep: A Review, Pavitra Chundekkad, Barbara Blaszczyk, Tomasz Stankiewicz
Embryonic Mortality In Sheep: A Review, Pavitra Chundekkad, Barbara Blaszczyk, Tomasz Stankiewicz
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Despite extensive research on the reproductive health of domestic animals, embryonic mortality continues to be a problem that brings about significant losses for both commercial breeding and scientific research. This review paper discusses the genetic and environmental factors that affect embryo mortality rates in sheep along with the different techniques developed to overcome this issue. Additionally, one of the objectives of this study is to emphasize the importance of the use of time-lapse cinematography and color Doppler ultrasonography as quick and reliable methods for early detection of pregnancy and embryonic death.
Statistical Analysis Of The Relationship Between Mortality And Nosocomial Factors Inpatients With Septicemia And The Importance Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Di̇lek Dülger
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The ongoing evolution of sepsis as a condition constitutes a global health concern and necessitates continuous monitoring and investigation of incidence rates, mortality factors, and disease patterns. This study sought to elucidate the frequency of bacterial cultures in patients with septicemia at our hospital and identify the factors influencing mortality. Zoonotic risk factors with reference to the literature were also taken into account.Independent variables of all patients diagnosed with sepsis were retrospectively screened to reveal factors affecting mortality. Incomplete or unclear data were not included. Continuous variables are represented as means and standard deviations, whereas binary variables are represented as …
Assessment Of The Molluscicidal Activity Of Wormwood (Artemisia Dubia, Wallich) Leaves Ethanolic Extract On Oncomelania Hupensis Quadrasi, Möllendorff, Claudine C. Terciño, Carl Leonard M. Pradera, Melvin A. Bagot
Assessment Of The Molluscicidal Activity Of Wormwood (Artemisia Dubia, Wallich) Leaves Ethanolic Extract On Oncomelania Hupensis Quadrasi, Möllendorff, Claudine C. Terciño, Carl Leonard M. Pradera, Melvin A. Bagot
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study assessed the in vitro molluscicidal activity of Artemisia dubia (wormwood) leaf ethanolic extract against adult and juvenile Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi and profiled its qualitative phytochemical content. The plants and snails were collected locally. There were 8 concentrations used for adult and juvenile snails: distilled water and 1% ethanol as negative controls; niclosamide (2 mg/L) as a positive control; and different concentrations of wormwood ethanolic extracts for adult snails including 3.98% (T1), 4.46% (T2), 5% (T3), 5.61% (T4), and 6.30% (T5) and for juvenile snails including 7.94% (T1), 8.91% (T2), 10% (T3), 11.22% (T4), and 12.59% (T5). Each treatment …
