A semi-automatic approach for epicardial adipose tissue segmentation and quantification on cardiac CT scans

2019

Abstract Many studies have shown that epicardial fat is associated with a higher risk of heart diseases. Accurate epicardial adipose tissue quantification is still an open research issue. Considering that manual approaches are generally user-dependent and time-consuming, computer-assisted tools can considerably improve the result repeatability as well as reduce the time required for performing an accurate segmentation. Unfortunately, fully automatic strategies might not always identify the Region of Interest (ROI) correctly. Moreover, they could require user interaction for handling unexpected events. This paper proposes a semi-automatic method for Epicardial Fat Volume (EFV) segmentation a…

Epicardial Fat, Cardiac Geometry and Cardiac Function in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Association with the Severity of Liver Disea…

2015

Background & Aims Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk, including coronary artery disease and cardiac dysfunction. In addition, recent evidence highlighted the possible role of epicardial fat as a new cardiometabolic risk factor. We tested the correlation between epicardial fat, alterations in cardiac geometry and function, and severity of liver damage, in patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD. Methods The anthropometric, biochemical and metabolic features were recorded in 147 consecutive biopsy-proven NAFLD cases (Kleiner score). Epicardial fat thickness was measured by echocardiography. Results Epicardial fat was higher in patients w…

Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Neuromodulation in Patients with Chronic Lateral Epicondylalgia: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial

2021

Objective: The aim was to analyze effects of a percutaneous neuromodulation (PNM) treatment on the radial nerve, regarding pain, functionality, electrophysiologic excitability, and morphology, in patients with chronic lateral epicondylalgia (LE). Methods: Twenty-four patients with chronic unilateral elbow pain were recruited for this preliminary study and were divided into two groups: control (n = 12) and PNM group (n = 12). The subjects in the PNM group received percutaneous peripheral neurostimulation with an acupuncture needle that was located next to the nerve with ultrasound guidance. Pain using a numerical rating scale (NRS), functional ability using patient-rated tennis elbow evaluat…

L’assedio di Palermo del 1071-1072 nei «Gesta Roberti Wiscardi» di Guglielmo il Pugliese

2021

L’intervento si propone di mettere in evidenza alcune caratteristiche (compositive, ideologico-politiche, retorico-stilistiche) dei «Gesta Roberti Wiscardi» di Guglielmo il Pugliese, l’unico poema epico-storico del sec. XI-XII che tratti della conquista normanna dell’Italia meridionale. I «Gesta Roberti Wiscardi» contano 2833 esametri suddivisi in cinque libri, con un prologo e un epilogo, e si inseriscono in quel vasto ambito di poesia epico-storica (e fondamentalmente celebrativa ed encomiastica) che, dal periodo tardoantico conduce alla ricca produzione di storie e cronache versificate che costituisce una delle più ricorrenti tendenze della letteratura mediolatina durante il sec. XII (e …

Effetti di ecfrasi nei canti XVI e XVIII della Gerusalemme liberata. Una proposta didattica

2019

The essay analyzes particular scenes of the poem by Tasso (XVI and XVIII) where the symbolic meaning of the places and scenes depicted by the characters is more explicit. It traces the long pictorial, artistic and musical reception of Gerusalemme Liberata to reflect on the transformative effects of ecfrases in the development of epic events
