Assessing university-business collaborations for moderate innovators: Implications for university-led innovation policy evaluation.

The growing literature on University-Industry Collaborations (UICs) highlights how learning processes get unevenly located in space, within centers of innovative activity, where the local presence of research-oriented universities plays a crucial role. Through a mixed-methods approach, this article explores the firm-level drivers of innovation and the interactions between a sample of companies and the local university in a moderate innovation EU region. Findings highlight that firms' size, sector, leadership's commitment to digitalization, and collaborations with the university explain companies' innovative performance.

[Neuroendocrine response in surgery: comparison between inhalation anesthesia (isoflurane) and intravenous anesthesia (propofol)].

The objectives of the study: 1) comparison between the two anesthesiological techniques both of which were applied to the various surgical groups (patients undergoing emergency surgery for abdominal pathologies and patients undergoing bone marrow biopsy); 2) a comparison between pre- and intraoperative stress levels. The experimental design consists of a comparative survey aimed at ascertaining the existence of statistically significant differences in pre- and intraoperative hormone levels (objective 1) and differences in hormone profiles depending on the anesthesiological technique used (objective 2). Patients were artificially ventilated; intraoperative monitoring included: automatic non-invasive AP every 3 minutes; cardiac monitoring; ETCO2; SaO2; all patients showed a normal postoperative evolution.

[Strychnine poisoning. A clinical case].

A patient was admitted following ingestion of 300 mg of strychnine. Early diagnosis and timely reanimation treatment led to his full recovery though he had swallowed a quantity of strychnine greater than the medium lethal dose (50-100 mg for adult).

[Horton arteritis and Kaposi's sarcoma: description of a case].

Occurrence of Kaposi's sarcoma was observed in a 70-years-old patient with Horton's temporal arteritis after one year of corticosteroid therapy. The possibility that Kaposi's disease may be related to the steroid therapy is discussed.

[Bronchiolitis. Our clinical experience in the 4 years from 1981 to 1984].

The clinical experience of 661 children with bronchiolitis is reported in four-years period to gain a better understanding of diagnosis and pathogenesis of bronchiolitis. Upper airways infections, expiratory dyspnea, clear sound by chest percussion, vesicular rales and whistling by chest auscultation, air trapping on the chest radiography were considered as essential data of diagnosis. It was found in 595 patients: expiratory dyspnea, air trapping, vesicular r.

["Minimal" viral pneumopathies and respiratory virosis in Campagna in 1978: pathology for research].

High frequency of bronchilitis, 70% of 1117 infants with respiratory infections, and clinical, radiological and laboratory features concerning partial tension of haematic gases, haematic lactate, enzymic activities of serum (CK, GPT, GOT) in 31 infants hospitalized with symptoms of shock in course of respiratory infections apparently affecting the upper respiratory tracts, are reported. This minimal respiratory pathology, evidenced in 3% of 1117 infants, defined as "minimal" viral pneumopathy, can be brought out trough a shock: lactacidosis, combined in half the cases with an increase of serum levels of CK and GPT and with normal PaO2 was ascertained in 87% of the cases. Three groups of bronchiolitis can be differentiated by haemogasanalytic monitoring: 1st group with a "serious" respiratory functional damage (hipercapnia hypoxemia), 14%.
