Gli avantesti delle opere abbandonate. Georges Perec e la disseminazione dei fantasmi del romanzo
2022
The abandoned work is a form of voluntary incompletion because the interruption of the writing process is decided by the author himself. Abandonment is preceded by considerations and traces that make the process intelligible, especially when identified in avant-textual documents in which the author often not only plans the construction of the text but also reasons about it by tracing the criticalities that condition its progress. The article aims to reflect on some aspects of Georges Perec's abandoned works, showing how these are integrated within the completed works through the processes of dissemination and proliferation.
Hypotensive Hemostasis in Patients Presenting with Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm
2017
Hypotensive hemostasis in aortic rupture has been showed to be feasible and advantageous, especially in trauma patients. To date, there are no randomized studies on hypotensive hemostasis in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA), but observational studies indicate similar advantages when hypotensive hemostasis is used for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) as in trauma patients. Actually, in EVAR for rAAA, a target systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or even lower is considered safe in conscious patients. Fluids should be administrated judiciously with the sole aim of maintaining adequate cardiac output and tissue oxygenation, whereas vasoactive pressors or dilatators may …
Double Thermoresponsive Block Copolymers Featuring a Biotin End Group
2010
A poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate)-block-poly(N-isopropyl methacrylamide) (POEGMA-b-PNIPMAM) block copolymer with a biotin end group on the PNIPMAM block as a biotarget was synthesized as a model system for temperature-controlled polymer immobilization. The synthesis was based on RAFT polymerization followed by postpolymerization modification of an activated ester precursor block and an exchange of the dithioester end group within one step. NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and turbidimetry measurements were performed to investigate the stimulus-responsive properties. The double thermoresponsive POEGMA-b-PNIPMAM with biot…
Controlled synthesis of poly(acetone oxime acrylate) as a new reactive polymer: Stimuli-responsive reactive copolymers
2007
Abstract Acetone oxime acrylate has been synthesized as a new active ester monomer. Free radical polymerization yielded a reactive polymer soluble in various organic solvents, such as chloroform, dioxane, DMSO, acetone, methanol, dichloromethane, DMF, and ethanol. Controlled radical polymerization of acetone oxime acrylate was successfully conducted using the RAFT, NMP and Iniferter method. Partly polymer analogous reaction with N-isopropylamine resulted in the reactive copolymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acetone oxime acrylate), which featured a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 61 °C in water. Further, the reactivity of the copolymer was exemplary proven by complete reacti…
Contra la patologización intensiva en términos de derechos humanos: Activismo gordo en Argentina
2020
This work addresses the way in which Argentine Fat Activism has developed, in recent years, the demand for depathologization of fatness, taking elements from critical discourses on the health of fat people to frame them in a perspective typical of the Human Rights. First, the contemporary fat body is described in terms of stigma and discrimination, especially in the health field. Then, they refer to a series of critical positions on the pathologization and medicalization of fatness from the biomedical perspective, Fat Studies and Fat Activism. Lastly, a series of interventions that the Argentine activist collective Taller Hacer la Vista Gorda produced between 2017 and 2020 were considered, …
Acute cholecystitis during COVID-19 pandemic: a multisocietary position statement
2020
AbstractFollowing the spread of the infection from the new SARS-CoV2 coronavirus in March 2020, several surgical societies have released their recommendations to manage the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for the daily clinical practice. The recommendations on emergency surgery have fueled a debate among surgeons on an international level.We maintain that laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains the treatment of choice for acute cholecystitis, even in the COVID-19 era. Moreover, since laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not more likely to spread the COVID-19 infection than open cholecystectomy, it must be organized in such a way as to be carried out safely even in the present situation, to gu…
Frontiere pericolose: l'adattamento
2011
I discorsi sull’adattamento ruotano incessantemente intorno a una serie di inossidabili luoghi comuni: ai poli estremi le illusioni fantastiche dei lettori delusi e la programmatica indifferenza dei cinefili irriducibili. La teoria dovrebbe opporsi tenacemente al senso comune ma si è impantanata nel gergo e nell’autoreferenzialità: gli studiosi si leggono tra loro, si posizionano e riposizionano, modificano e aggiornano le loro griglie tassonomiche – quasi sempre triadiche – impegnati a ridefinire all’infinito il continuum che va dalla fedeltà all’originalità. Ai singoli adattamenti chiedono solo la gentilezza di accomodarsi nei relativi scomparti. E poco male se tutto ciò serve solo per or…
Lo stadio di Wimbledon: per una teoria dell'adattamento
2013
Se "Lo stadio di Wimbledon" (1983) di Daniele Del Giudice nasce soprattutto come meditazione sulla vocazione creativa, sono certamente le suggestioni sulla scrittura a imporlo all’attenzione della critica. Del Giudice, che ha ribadito più volte nella sua opera la centralità dell’immaginario cinematografico, non ha certamente mai creduto alla presunta “inadattabilità” del suo romanzo: l’incontro con l’attore e regista francese Mathieu Amalric, che ha portato alla realizzazione del film "Le stade de Wimbledon" (2001), è stata un’occasione propizia per ulteriori riflessioni sull’adattamento. Ma è tornando alla pagina scritta che si trova l’intuizione più importante, ben nascosta nella trama de…
