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…
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 …
Polyphenols, methylxanthines, fatty acids and minerals in cocoa beans and cocoa products
2019
In this study, the nutritional profile and some health benefit of three cocoa bean samples of different origins, including Perù, Ecuador (Criollo) and Ghana (Hybrid) and five samples of cocoa products from Criollo variety at different percentage of cocoa solids (from 70 to 100%), are investigated. The Ecuadorian beans were of the same batch used to obtain the chocolate samples (70% cocoa solids) by processing without conching. All samples were analyzed for their proximate composition, mineral content, fatty acids, total polyphenols, catechin, epicathechin theobromine and caffeine. Fatty acid profiles of the cocoa products were quite similar to those obtained in cocoa beans. The atherogenici…
Questioni cronologico-attributive e tecnica compositiva del «Carmen de Hastingae proelio» di Guy d’Amiens
2018
In questo studio il «Carmen de Hastingae proelio» assegnato a Guy d’Amiens viene sottoposto a una lunga disamina, con la rassegna delle principali questioni cronologiche e attributive susseguitesi dalla prima metà dell’Ottocento fino ai nostri giorni, l’analisi e la discussione dei più rilevanti problemi storico-letterari e interpretativi e, nella seconda e più ampia parte, l’esame di tre passi del poemetto a loro modo altamente significativi (il proemio, la geste di Taillefer e l’incoronazione di Guglielmo il Conquistatore). Tale disamina mira, in primo luogo, a rimettere in discussione un’impostazione e un livello di lettura dell’opera vòlti, in maniera preponderante se non esclusiva, a …

Il rigo musicale in fondo alla 'Bataille d'Annezin' e i dispositivi di chiusura della lassa epica
2015
The discovery, made by E. Langlois in 1910, of a notated musical staff at the end of a little-known parodic laisse probably written within the 13th century by an otherwise unknown Thomas de Bailleul (MS London, BL, Royal 20 A XVII) immediately raised the interest of medieval musicologists, who have debated its function and interpretation until recent times, whereas romance philologists haven’t payed due attention to this intriguing and unique musical evidence, undoubtedly related to an Old French chanson de geste. In this paper I shall defend G. Schläger’s forgotten hypothesis that the musical staff could well represent a vocal-ized ‘short line’ (petit vers), arguing that this question shou…
