Since 1975 the Rome Microcythaemia Centre has carried out every year, under the auspices of the health authorities of the Latium region, a screening of thalassaemics among intermediate schoolchildren of Latium. From these campaigns, knowledge about thalassaemias among the young adult population has grown which, in its turn, has resulted in screening of these young adults. Through screening in s...

While the A type cavea plan was created around middle of first century B.C. in Latium or Campania, B formed Central Italy, including Latium, third quarter same (Table 1). In early Augustan age, C appeared, probably Roman colonies. Although and types were only used West Mediterranean cities, is found more than half all ‘ Roman-typed theatres ’ throughout ancient world period making it most commo...

We studied the molecular bases of beta-thalassemia in Rome, a city centrally located in Latium, which is a region with a low incidence of beta-carriers. People also come to Rome from other regions for specific or prenatal diagnostic assessment. Only 11 patients (20%) out of 62 characterized beta-thalassemia subjects were of Latium family origin. They presented five mutations with an uncommonly ...

In the 1975 to 1976 school year, under the auspices of the Health Authorities of the Latium Region, the Rome Microcythaemia Centre carried out for the first time a partial screening survey of thalassaemia carriers among the students of the compulsory intermediate school in Latium. This work was the beginning of a new preventive school health service aimed at the prophylaxis of Cooley's disease....

The aim of this study is to verify the amount of nitrate absorption on Latium composite over active carbon in which pH parameters, temperature, pollutant concentration, contact time for absorbent were considered. It was determined that optimum condition for absorbent are pH=3, T= 0 ˚C and initial concentration of solution=10 ppm, then absorption parameters verified and after drawing  absorption...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE After the first National Census of transfusion-dependent thalassemics (1984), in 1992 the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology and the National Health Institute organized its 3rd edition. Here, results concerning Latium are presented and discussed. DESIGN AND METHODS Data for Latium, as in the rest of Italy, were collected by a single reference cen...

We report partial molecular characterization of isolates from an autochthonous chikungunya virus cluster in Latium Region. E1 sequences from 3 patients differ substantially from sequences from the 2007 outbreak in Italy and lack the A226V substitution associated with increased viral fitness in the Aedes albopictus mosquito vector.
