PROGetto RESidenze' Residential Project

Abstract

The 'PROGRES' (PROGetto RESidenze' Residential Project) project has 3 aims: 1. To survey all Italian psychiatric Non-Hospital Residential Facilities (NHRF) (Phase 1); 2. To assess in detail 20% of the NHRFs and the patients living there (Phase 2); and 3. To carry on training programmes for the mental health workers of these facilities (Phase 3). We report here the results of Phase 1. All NHRFs were surveyed using a structured interview administered to the manager of the facility. In some cases, this information was supplemented with data gathered from other mental health workers at the NHRFs. On May 31, 2000, there were in Italy 1,370 NHRFs with 17,138 beds, giving an average number of beds per facility of 12.5 and a rate of 2.98 beds per 10,000 inhabitants. This rate varies greatly between regions, with a ratio of 1:10 between the two regions with the lowest and the highest bed rates. Seventy-three percent of the NHRFs have a 24-hour staff coverage; more than 50% are directly managed by the NHS Departments of Mental Health and more than three-quarters of the NHRFs are directly funded by the NHS. In the course of 1999 38% of the NHRFs discharged no patients, and another 32% discharged fewer than 3 patients. In about half of the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
