Implementation of the South African Triage Scale (Sats) in a New Ambulance System in Beira, Mozambique: A Retrospective Observational Study
In 2019, an urban ambulance system was deployed in the city of Beira, Mozambique to refer patients from peripheral health centres (HCs) to the only hospital of the city (Beira Central Hospital-HCB). Initially, the system worked following a first-in-first-out approach, thus leading to referrals not based on severity condition. With the aim of improving the process, the South African Triage Scale (SATS) has been subsequently introduced in three HCs…
Association between ambulance prehospital time and maternal and perinatal outcomes in Sierra Leone: A countrywide study
INTRODUCTION: Sierra Leone, one of the countries with the highest maternal and perinatal mortality in the world, launched its first National Emergency Medical Service (NEMS) in 2018. We carried out a countrywide assessment to analyse NEMS operational times for obstetric emergencies in respect the access to timely essential surgery within 2 hours.

“Favoleggiando”. Ipotesi sul Rapimento di Cefalo di Gabriello Chiabrera (1600)
Lo scritto si propone di saggiare alcuni aspetti di espressione e di contenuto di quello che – insieme all'Euridice di Rinuccini – va ritenuto il primo “libretto d'opera” (1600). Si considerano l'occasione della messa in scena (con riferimento alla Descrizione di Michelangelo Buonarroti il Giovane), i possibili modelli letterari e la ripresa di motivi propri da parte del poeta, la presenza di eventuali madrigali nel tessuto metrico, il legame tra…
Improving Access to Healthcare in Sierra Leone: The Role of the Newly Developed National Emergency Medical Service
We aim to evaluate whether the first National Emergency Medical Service (NEMS) improved access to hospital care for the people of Sierra Leone. We performed an interrupted time-series analysis to assess the effects of NEMS implementation on hospital admissions in 25 facilities. The analysis was also replicated separately for the area of Freetown and the rest of the country. The study population was stratified by the main Free Health Care Initiati…
Health Workforce Development in Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management: The Need for Evidence-Based Recommendations
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 placed human health at the centre of disaster risk reduction, calling for the global community to enhance local and national health emergency and disaster risk management (Health EDRM). The Health EDRM Framework, published in 2019, describes the functions required for comprehensive disaster risk management across prevention, preparedness, readiness, response, and recovery to improve the r…
Health-related quality of life after traumatic brain injury: Deriving value sets for the Qolibri-OS for Italy, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom
By transforming the QOLIBRI-OS into utility scores, we enabled the application in economic evaluations and in summary measures of population health, which may be used to inform decision-makers on the best interventions and strategies for TBI patients
A Note on Oratorio Sant'Elena al Calvario by Pietro Metastasio
This essay examines how Metastasio organizes the oratorio's musicality between recitativo and arias, and how he links such two parts or aspects. Furthermore, it underscores how the hidden quotations and the use of Latinisms are not to be considered for the élite, since they are quiet understandable by a public endowed with average culture. At the end, Metastasio's typical, internal personality split is projected onto the division between Christia…
