Comprehensive analysis of interacting proteins and genome-wide location studies of the Sas3-dependent NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex
2014
Highlights • We characterise Sas3p and Gcn5p active HAT complexes in WT and deleted TAP-strains. • We confirm that Pdp3p interacts with NuA3, histones and chromatin regulators. • Pdp3p MS-analysis reveals its phosphorylation, ubiquitination and methylation. • Sas3p can substitute Gcn5p in acetylation of histone H3K14 but not of H3K9. • Genome-wide profiling of Sas3p supports its involvement in transcriptional elongation.
T-Cell Lymphoma Clonality by Copy Number Variation Analysis of T-Cell Receptor Genes
2021
Simple Summary T-cells defend the human body from pathogenic invasion via specific recognition by T-cell receptors (TCRs). The TCR genes undergo recombination (rearrangement) in a myriad of possible ways to generate different TCRs that can recognize a wide diversity of foreign antigens. However, in patients with T-cell lymphoma (TCL), a particular T-cell becomes malignant and proliferates, resulting in a population of genetically identical cells with same TCR rearrangement pattern. To help diagnose patients with TCL, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay is currently used to determine if neoplastic cells in patient samples are of T-cell origin and bear identical (monoclonal) TCR rea…
CONFRONTO TRA RM WHOLE BODY E PET/TC NELLA STADIAZIONE DEI LINFOMI FDG-AVIDI.
2016
Scopo Scopo del nostro studio è stato quello di comparare la RM whole body (RM-WB) con la PET/TC nella stadiazione dei linfomi FDG-avidi. Materiale e metodi 68 pazienti (37 maschi, età mediana 42 anni, range 15-86) con diagnosi istologica di Linfoma (37 Hodgkin, 16 Diffuso B a grandi cellule, 10 Follicolare, 5 Mantellare) sono stati sottoposti a RM-WB e PET/TC prima del trattamento. Sono stati valutati e confrontati sensibilità, specificità, valore predittivo positivo e negativo (PPV e NPV) della RM-WB e PET/TC, quest’ultima considerata come standard di riferimento. Lo stadio Ann Arbor (AA) ottenuto con RM-WB (sequenze DWIBS assiali, T1w e T2w-STIR coronali, senza mezzo di contrasto) e con …
Structural Dynamics and Intentional Governance in Strategic Interorganizational Network Evolution: A Multilevel Approach
2016
This article aims to shed light on the drivers underlying the role and scope of intentional governance of the structural dynamics of whole interorganizational networks. Prior research has distinguished networks that are emergent from networks that are orchestrated. While empirical studies have shown situations in which the role and scope of intentional governance of whole interorganizational networks has changed in time, and there is a growing interest regarding the endogenous drivers of network dynamics, the dimensions that influence intentional governance of network structure dynamics and the way this is carried out remain still to be elucidated. In order to pinpoint these drivers, we le…
¿Cabe hablar de una «generación de la crisis»? Discusión en torno a una noción sobreexplotada
2018
This article states that nowadays there is an overuse (or a misuse) of the «Generation» idea. The discussion among many authors over the «Generation of crisis» concept suggests that it is useful to outline the characteristics of the target of population of the collective of youth who are mainly affected by the economic and social crisis over the past years. Nevertheless, through analyzing the meanings of the «Generation of Crisis» made by Mannheim, Ortega and other classic authors, it is clear that the social class approach together with the generational one are needed to define this concrete concept. The conclusion of the articleis that both approaches are seen as underpinning their utilit…
Experiences that “reach the heart”. Taking part in a whole body dissection course at the University of Malta
2017
This article summarizes the activities of the four-week whole body dissection course the main authors participated in in August 2016 at the dissection hall of the University of Malta (UoM). Our team comprised 10 second-year medicine students from University of Palermo chosen among who had passed the Human Anatomy exam brilliantly. The need to move to the UoM to take part in such activity derives from the lack of practice approach in Italian schools of medicine, focused mostly on the theoretical studies, neglecting practical experience. The heart dissection reveal itself as a huge opportunity to finally apply our anatomical knowledge, improving it and enabling us to compare images took from …
La Valle dei Templi in epoca medioevale. Caratterizzazione antropologica e paleopatologica delle sepolture antistanti in Tempio della Concordia
2021
Riassunto ― Il lavoro presenta i risultati delle analisi bio-archeologiche effettuate su resti scheletrici umani rinvenuti in quattordici sepolture di epoca medioevale rinvenute nel Parco Archeologico della Valle dei Templi di Agrigento (Sicilia). L’obiettivo è stato l’acquisizione delle informazioni necessarie per la ricostruzione del profilo biologico di ciascun individuo, al fine di determinarne il sesso, la stima dell’età biologica alla morte, la stima della statura e la valutazione delle patologie e degli indicatori di stress occupazionale mediante le correnti metodologie e tecniche diagnostiche di tipo antropologico. Sebbene il cattivo stato di conservazione di alcuni individui non ne…
Forecasting Hepatitis C liver disease burden on real-life data. Does the hidden iceberg matter to reach the elimination goals?
2018
Abstract Background & Aims Advances in direct‐acting antiviral treatment of HCV have reinvigorated public health initiatives aimed at identifying affected individuals. We evaluated the possible impact of only diagnosed and linked‐to‐care individuals on overall HCV burden estimates and identified a possible strategy to achieve the WHO targets by 2030. Methods Using a modelling approach grounded in Italian real‐life data of diagnosed and treated patients, different linkage‐to‐care scenarios were built to evaluate potential strategies in achieving the HCV elimination goals. Results Under the 40% linked‐to‐care scenario, viraemic burden would decline (60%); however, eligible patients to treat w…

Tres artistas en el exilio: Max Aub, Félix Candela y Josep Renau
2020
Three artists in exile focuses on the historical diaspora provoked by the Spanish civil war (1936- 1939), and how it influenced three prominent figures of the cultural scene of that period: the writer and typographer Max Aub Mohrenwitz (Paris, 1903-Ciudad de Mexico, 1972); the architect Félix Candela Outeriño (Madrid, 1910-Raleigh, US, 1977); and the artist Josep Renau Berenguer (Valencia, 1907-Berlín, 1982). They are the three protagonists of this article, who were simultaneously living in Mexico during the exile and who made notable contributions in the fields of arts and humanities (Max Aub), architecture (Félix Candela), and graphic design and photomontage (Josep Renau). While they were…
