Chapter and Conference Paper
The Combined Use of Different Near Surface Geophysics Techniques and Geotechnical Analysis in Two Case Histories for the Advanced Design of Underground Works in Urban Environment: Rome Metro B and Torino-Ceres Railway
In the urban context of the Italian towns, both historical remnants (archaeological items, man-made cavities, buried walls, etc.) and underground geotechnical “anomalies” (cemented layers, pockets of low-densi...

Geophysical investigation of a mineral groundwater resource in Turkey
The hydrogeological conditions in Uludag (Nilufer River catchment, Bursa, Turkey) were assessed, using time-domain electromagnetic soundings, electrical resistivity and induced polarisation tomography, to dete...

Open AccessEarly fiberoptic bronchoscopy during non-invasive ventilation in patients with decompensated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to community-acquired-pneumonia
Inefficient clearance of copious respiratory secretion is a cause of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) failure, especially in chronic respiratory patients with community-acquired-pneumonia (CAP...

Noninvasive versus conventional ventilation to treat hypercapnic encephalopathy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
We recently reported a high success rate using noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) to treat COPD exacerbations with hypercapnic encephalopathy. This study compared the hospital outcomes of NPPV vs...

Co-morbidity and acute decompensations of COPD requiring non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation
To assess the prevalence and the impact of chronic and/or acute non-respiratory co-morbidity on short and longer-term outcome of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in acute decompensations of c...
