This manuscript presents a model and the methodology to understand and define the ethical management of the large-scale implementation of ICT solutions for Active and Healthy Ageing. Based on project expertise, including experience from the Pharaon project Horizon 2020, this model includes an understanding of the main ethical challenges and the development of the necessary guidelines, measures, and tools for different stakeholder profiles. This model extends beyond conventional ethical guidelines, providing a methodology to actively discuss ethical and societal challenges within a project based on interactive and iterative dialogue between the entire value-chain of stakeholders. One of the cornerstones in the analysis of challenges is focused attention on policy and societal issues that emerge during a project. Accordingly, the model includes targeted reflections and tools delivered in the context of the recent Covid-19 pandemic. The tools developed in this process are organised in a guide that can be actively used throughout large-scale implementation projects related to ICT solutions.

这份手稿提出了一个模型和方法来理解和定义积极和健康老龄化大规模实施ICT解决方案的伦理管理。基于项目专业知识,包括法老项目地平线2020的经验,该模型包括对主要道德挑战的理解,以及针对不同利益相关者的必要指导方针、措施和工具的开发。该模型超越了传统的道德准则,提供了一种基于整个利益相关者价值链之间的互动和迭代对话的方法来积极讨论项目中的道德和社会挑战。挑战分析的基石之一是关注项目中出现的政策和社会问题。因此,该模型包括在最近的Covid-19大流行背景下提供的有针对性的反思和工具。在此过程中开发的工具被组织在一个指南中,可以在与ICT解决方案相关的大型实施项目中积极使用。

To develop trainings on the implementation of smart healthy age-friendly environments for people who aim to support, for example, their parents, their neighbours or local community, there are precautionary measures that have to be taken into account: the role of the facilitator (volunteer or self-employed), the level of skills, the needs of the end-users, training content and methodologies together with the sustainability of the learning. This article examines these aspects, based on desk research and expert interviews in the Smart Healthy Age-Friendly Environments (SHAFE) fields.

为了为旨在支持其父母、邻居或当地社区的人(例如,他们的父母、邻居或当地社区的人)开展关于实施有利于老年人的智能健康环境的培训,必须考虑到一些预防措施:调解人(志愿人员或自营职业者)的作用、技能水平、最终用户的需求、培训内容和方法以及学习的可持续性。本文基于桌面研究和智能健康友好型老年环境(SHAFE)领域的专家访谈,对这些方面进行了研究。

Monitoring and measuring magnesium (Mg) values are essential to prevent the development of numerous complications in perioperative medicine and critically ill patients. Although previous studies suggest that measuring free ionized magnesium (iMg) is more useful for estimating Mg status, clinicians currently rely on measurement of total serum magnesium to determine if supplemental magnesium is needed. In this review, we analyzed the recent literature to decide whether it is better to measure ionized serum Mg or total serum Mg when assessing magnesium status, whether iMg predicts clinical outcome, and what are the difficulties in measuring serum iMg levels in intensive care patients and perioperative medicine.

监测和测量镁(Mg)值对于防止围手术期医学和重症患者出现多种并发症至关重要。尽管之前的研究表明,测量游离离子镁(iMg)对估计镁的状态更有用,但临床医生目前还是依靠测量血清总镁来确定是否需要补充镁。在这篇综述中,我们分析了最近的文献,以确定在评估镁状态时,测量血清游离镁还是血清总镁更好,游离镁是否能预测临床结果,以及在重症监护患者和围手术期医学中测量血清游离镁水平有哪些困难。

Despite it is generally recognized the beneficial role of physical activity, large portion of the population is physically inactive. Very alarmingly, the well-known gender gap in physical activity is constantly increasing. Several barriers obstacle women to perform physical activity although exercising would be of paramount importance for their health in particular during pregnancy and menopause. In addition to physical health benefits, physical activity may influence well-being and resilience, greatly impacting on quality of life. Here we explore the relationship between physical activity resilience and well-being in a group of 1107 female residents in the Metropolitan area of Naples.

尽管人们普遍认识到体育活动的有益作用,但仍有很大一部分人缺乏体育活动。非常令人担忧的是,众所周知的身体活动方面的性别差距正在不断扩大。尽管运动对妇女的健康至关重要,特别是在怀孕和更年期期间,但仍有一些障碍阻碍妇女进行体育活动。除了身体健康的好处,体育活动可能会影响幸福感和弹性,极大地影响生活质量。本文以那不勒斯大都会区1107名女性居民为研究对象,探讨了身体活动弹性与幸福感之间的关系。

The aim of this work is to clarify the incidence of meningitis/encephalitis in SARS-CoV-2 patients. We conducted an initial search in PubMed using the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms "meningitis," and "encephalitis,", and "COVID-19" to affirm the need for a review on the topic of the relationship between meningitis/encephalitis and SARS-CoV-2 infection. We included case series, case reports and review articles of COVID-19 patients with these neurological symptoms. Through PubMed database we identified 110 records. After removal of duplicates, we screened 70 record, and 43 were excluded because they focused on different SARS-CoV-2 neurological complications. For eligibility, we assessed 27 full-text articles which met inclusion criteria. Seven articles were excluded, and twenty studies were included in the narrative review, in which encephalitis and/or meningitis case reports/case series were reported. Neurological manifestations of COVID-19 are not rare, especially meningoencephalitis; the hypoxic/metabolic changes produced by the inflammatory response against the virus cytokine storm can lead to encephalopathy, and the presence of comorbidities and other neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, predispose to these metabolic changes. Further study are needed to investigate the biological mechanisms of neurological complications of COVID-19.
这项工作的目的是阐明严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型患者脑膜炎/脑炎的发病率。我们在PubMed中使用医学主题标题(MeSH)术语“脑膜炎”、“脑炎”和“新冠肺炎”进行了初步搜索,以确认有必要对脑膜炎/脑炎与SARS-CoV-2感染之间的关系进行审查。我们纳入了新冠肺炎有这些神经系统症状患者的病例系列、病例报告和综述文章。通过PubMed数据库,我们确定了110条记录。去除重复项后,我们筛选了70份记录,其中43份被排除在外,因为它们专注于不同的严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型神经并发症。关于资格,我们评估了27篇符合入选标准的全文文章。7篇文章被排除在外,20项研究被纳入叙述性综述,其中报告了脑炎和/或脑膜炎病例报告/病例系列。新冠肺炎的神经系统表现并不罕见,尤其是脑膜炎;针对病毒细胞因子风暴的炎症反应产生的缺氧/代谢变化可导致脑病,而合并症和其他神经系统疾病(如阿尔茨海默病)的存在易导致这些代谢变化。需要进一步研究新冠肺炎神经并发症的生物学机制。

Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). On 30 January 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the outbreak of Covid-19 realizes a public health emergency of international concern. Because of the primary involvement of the respiratory system, chest CT is strongly recommended in suspected Covid-19 cases, for both initial and follow-up. We present the case of a Covid-19 patient, a 57-year-old man, with a typical HRCT course of OP reaction.

Saving Limited Resources During Covid-19 Pandemic 在Covid-19大流行期间节省有限的资源
IF 1.5 Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.37825/2239-9747.1003

"Age (is) an important factor in making the terrible choice of who will receive scarce resources in a pandemic.", wrote Professor Arthur Caplan, Director of the section of Medical Ethics at the New York UniversityGrossman School of Medicine [1]. This opinion, if extrapolated from its context, would be immediately rejected as inhuman and unacceptable by anyone, medical or lay people, young or old. However, in Italy, the SARSCoV-2 pandemic was marked by the severe lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), mechanical ventilators, hospital beds and in particular ICU beds, and this resulted in an inevitable selection of patients. ICU physicians, often by themselves, face this situation, when ER request exceeds the availability of beds and mechanical ventilators in the area, also before the pandemic. This problem has been aggravated by COVID19, and it is now known and feared by the large audience. If maximizing the number of saved lives is the common societal objective, and when epidemiological and clinical data support the risk of failure, can age lawfully be used for the allocation of a valuable resource as a mechanic ventilator? Simplifying, if there is an equal need between two patients, age can be the decisive element in defining the priority of treatment: lifesaving procedures, such as intubating and ventilating, will be carried out only in younger patients, reserving only less invasive or palliative treatments for the elderly. Following this principle, the elderly, lesser valued citizens, would give young people the right to play their game of life, as defined by the principle of “fair innings”, or fair life expectancy. Is the age of patients the right choice when it is selected as a triage criterion? In my opinion, age must never be the main factor that determines a person's right to intensive care, since it is an unreliable and insufficient index of the patient's ability to respond to intensive care and to recover autonomy functional. A healthy 75-year-old cannot be denied access to resuscitation treatment on the basis of age alone, although elderly patients with severe respiratory insufficiency secondary to COVID-19 have a high probability of dying despite intensive care and, consequently, they may have a lower priority for admission to intensive care in conditions of irremediable and extreme shortage of beds. The Italian Society of Anesthesia (SIAARTI) has published a document entitled "clinical ethics recommendations for the breakdown of intensive care treatments, in exceptional circumstances limited to resources" in partial agreement with Professor Caplan.

纽约大学格罗斯曼医学院医学伦理部主任亚瑟·卡普兰教授写道:“在做出流行病期间谁将获得稀缺资源的糟糕选择时,年龄是一个重要因素。”这一意见,如果从其背景推断出来,将立即被任何人,无论是医务人员还是非专业人士,无论是年轻人还是老年人,视为不人道和不可接受而予以拒绝。然而,在意大利,sars -2大流行的特点是严重缺乏个人防护装备(PPE)、机械呼吸机、医院病床,特别是ICU病床,这导致不可避免地选择患者。在大流行之前,当急诊室的需求超过该地区的床位和机械呼吸机的可用性时,ICU医生往往自己面临这种情况。这一问题因covid - 19而加剧,现在为广大观众所知和恐惧。如果最大限度地挽救生命是共同的社会目标,并且当流行病学和临床数据支持失败的风险时,是否可以合法地使用年龄来分配作为机械呼吸机的宝贵资源?简单地说,如果两个病人之间有同样的需要,年龄可以成为确定治疗优先次序的决定性因素:只有年轻病人才会进行插管和呼吸等挽救生命的程序,而对老年人只保留侵入性较小或姑息性较低的治疗。遵循这一原则,老年人,较不受重视的公民,将给予年轻人玩他们的生活游戏的权利,这是由“公平回合”原则定义的,或公平的预期寿命。患者的年龄作为分诊标准是正确的选择吗?在我看来,年龄绝不能成为决定一个人是否有权接受重症监护的主要因素,因为它是病人对重症监护作出反应和恢复自主功能的能力的一个不可靠和不充分的指标。健康的75岁老人不能仅仅因为年龄而被拒绝接受复苏治疗,尽管继发于COVID-19的严重呼吸功能不全的老年患者即使接受重症监护也有很高的死亡可能性,因此,在床位极度短缺且无法补救的情况下,他们接受重症监护的优先级可能较低。意大利麻醉学会(SIAARTI)发表了一份题为“在资源有限的特殊情况下,重症监护治疗中断的临床伦理建议”的文件,部分同意卡普兰教授的意见。在这份文件中,“为那些有更大的生存机会和预期寿命的人节省有限的资源,这些资源可能变得极其稀缺,以便为最大多数人带来最大的利益”的原则得到了阐述。老年体弱患者急性呼吸道疾病病程长,预后较健康青年患者恶性。因此,SIAARTI建议:“在这些特殊情况下,必须仔细评估每位危重患者的年龄、合并症和功能状态”。英国国家健康与护理卓越研究所(NICE)的指南更新至2020年4月29日,建议仅为65岁以上、脆弱性评分低的患者保留重症监护,同时考虑对65岁以上的体弱患者非常有选择性地在ICU住院。临床虚弱量表(CFS)得分超过5分,应劝阻尝试侵入性方法或“浪费”机械呼吸机,以帮助需要帮助的患者爬楼梯,洗涤或穿衣。在这次大流行中,公共卫生政策可以超越优先考虑个别患者福祉的道德义务,推动为最多的患者提供更大的利益。White和Lo b[2]支持优先考虑重症患者的方法,这些患者在出院时也更有可能存活下来。在我看来,定义一个严格的界限,一个精确的年龄门槛和慢性疲劳综合症评分,对年轻和缺乏经验的医生来说,更多的是“防御”工具,而不是道德因素,这些医生被疫情摧毁,留在急诊室里痛苦不堪。我再次重申,这些决定必须基于与治疗结果相关的临床因素,而不是基于对个人生命价值的歧视性判断。同样,一个简单的基于年龄或残疾的退出制度不仅是不道德的,而且是非法的,因为它将构成歧视。这些决定对那些受影响的人和被迫做出决定的人来说都是极其痛苦的。几天前去世的97岁的伟大哲学家阿尔多·马苏洛(Aldo Masullo)教授写了一篇关于“COVID-19在COVID-19大流行期间节省有限资源”的文章
{"title":"Saving Limited Resources During Covid-19 Pandemic","authors":"Ornella Piazza","doi":"10.37825/2239-9747.1003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37825/2239-9747.1003","url":null,"abstract":"\"Age (is) an important factor in making the terrible choice of who will receive scarce resources in a pandemic.\", wrote Professor Arthur Caplan, Director of the section of Medical Ethics at the New York UniversityGrossman School of Medicine [1]. This opinion, if extrapolated from its context, would be immediately rejected as inhuman and unacceptable by anyone, medical or lay people, young or old. However, in Italy, the SARSCoV-2 pandemic was marked by the severe lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), mechanical ventilators, hospital beds and in particular ICU beds, and this resulted in an inevitable selection of patients. ICU physicians, often by themselves, face this situation, when ER request exceeds the availability of beds and mechanical ventilators in the area, also before the pandemic. This problem has been aggravated by COVID19, and it is now known and feared by the large audience. If maximizing the number of saved lives is the common societal objective, and when epidemiological and clinical data support the risk of failure, can age lawfully be used for the allocation of a valuable resource as a mechanic ventilator? Simplifying, if there is an equal need between two patients, age can be the decisive element in defining the priority of treatment: lifesaving procedures, such as intubating and ventilating, will be carried out only in younger patients, reserving only less invasive or palliative treatments for the elderly. Following this principle, the elderly, lesser valued citizens, would give young people the right to play their game of life, as defined by the principle of “fair innings”, or fair life expectancy. Is the age of patients the right choice when it is selected as a triage criterion? In my opinion, age must never be the main factor that determines a person's right to intensive care, since it is an unreliable and insufficient index of the patient's ability to respond to intensive care and to recover autonomy functional. A healthy 75-year-old cannot be denied access to resuscitation treatment on the basis of age alone, although elderly patients with severe respiratory insufficiency secondary to COVID-19 have a high probability of dying despite intensive care and, consequently, they may have a lower priority for admission to intensive care in conditions of irremediable and extreme shortage of beds. The Italian Society of Anesthesia (SIAARTI) has published a document entitled \"clinical ethics recommendations for the breakdown of intensive care treatments, in exceptional circumstances limited to resources\" in partial agreement with Professor Caplan. In this document, the principle of \"saving limited resources, which can become extremely scarce, for those who have a much greater chance of survival and life expectancy, in order to maximize the benefits for the greatest number of people\" is stated.
