ABSTRACT
In this study it has been estimated the prevalence of the disability in the over 65 population, resident in the sanitary district 50 of the ASL NA1. The aim is an appropriate nursing planning based on the needs of the population. The used geriatric questionnaire is provided by law (ex art. 70 comma 1 lettera a. del DPR 270/2000). The general practitioners of the district filled in 6014 questionnaires. The elders that resulted as self-reliant at the ADL and self-sufficient at the IADL are 86.9% and 80.2% respectively. 54.9% of the elders are free from slight or heavy depression. 81.7% are not going to have mental worst damage. Depression is statistically related to a low income and to a low level of self-reliance and self-sufficiency at the ADL and IADL questionnaire. The study evaluated important formative needs of the elders and pointed out some issues regarding the questionnaire structure and its filling in.

In thirty-three newborns with anoxic syndrome was valued the renal injury making use of usual parameters of renal function (Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, FeNa, Clcr) and furthermore the rate of urinary excretion of beta 2-microglobulin, a marker of tubular damage. All the parameters at the beginning of follow-up were altered. Further monitoring of these showed that BUN, creatinine, FeNa, Clcr were normalized in a short time. Differently beta 2-microglobulin was altered up to the end of follow-up in thirty-one newborns; the values were much lower than original. These results show an high incidence of tubular suffering in the ischemic-anoxic syndrome and a tendency to protract in the time.
