[Clinical-epidemiological profile of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Coronel Suárez, Argentina].

To contribute to the study of the disease, data were recorded from all hospitalized patients in the Clinical Medicine room of Hospital Municipal Dr. Raúl Caccavo, Coronel Suárez, Buenos Aires province, diagnosed with COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemia (March 2020 to March 2021), the only health institution where patients were hospitalized in our city. A descriptive and retrospective transversal cut study was carried out with 178 patients (average age: 61 years old, range: 9 months -96 years), 90% of them hospitalized for a respiratory cause.

Integrating radon and thoron flux data with gamma radiation mapping in radon-prone areas. The case of volcanic outcrops in a highly-urbanized city (Roma, Italy).

An integration of laboratory radon and thoron exhalation data with gamma radiation mapping is applied to assess the geogenic radon and the exposure of people to natural radiation in a highly-urbanized city (Roma, Italy). The study area is a protected territory where ignimbrites from Colli Albani volcano and alluvial sediments largely crop out. A map of total gamma radiation, a gamma transect across Caffarella valley and 9 vertical gamma profiles have been carried out, showing that the main control of gamma levels is, of course, the lithological nature, without neglecting the simultaneous effect of other parameters such as slope morphology, erosion/weathering processes, occurrence of sinkholes or underground tunnels.
