Intermittent- vs continuous alcohol access in female rats: Effects on deprivation phenotype and maternal behavior as a consequence of the drinking pa…
2015
In male rats, the intermittent alcohol access paradigm produces relevant and specific consequences on neuronal activity and behavior, with respect to traditional free-access paradigms (Carnicella et al., 2014). In order to explore gender-related effects, this study aimed at assessing the consequences of two different patterns of alcohol self-administration on peculiar feminine behavioral repertoire, such as deprivation phenotype and maternal care. Animals underwent long-term, home cage, two-bottle “alcohol (20% v/v) or water” choice regimen, with continuous (7 days a week) or intermittent (3 days a week) access, and were tested for alcohol intake and preference. During acute deprivation, th…

Revisiting the Solid Flux Theory
2022
Several variations of the basic activated sludge process and of the related design procedures for final clarifiers have been developed, which are frequently based on the well-known solid flux theory (SFT). In this paper, by using the Lambert W function and a “virtual” solid flux corresponding to the Vesilind parameters’ ratio, the SFT is reformulated, and dimensionless groups are detected, which highly reduce the number of parameters that are involved in the final clarifiers’ design procedure. The derived dimensionless relationships and the corresponding plots have general validity since they can be applied to all the possible design/verification parameter combinatio…
Measuring technical efficiency of Greek red suckler cow breed's farms in Central Macedonia region using a data envelopment analysis model
2022
This study aims to estimate the technical efficiency (TE) of a randomly selected sample of red Greek suckler cow breed farms in the area of Central Macedonia and identify the most technically efficient characteristics of cow-calf operations. Moreover, this work wants to verify the impact of local and European policies in support of the sector on the estimated efficiency. The research investigates the technical efficiency of 64 suckler cow farms by using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. Findings reveal that the most efficient farms were larger, with higher gross revenue, and higher cost of fixed capital than non-efficient farms. In addition, the cost of variable capital, which dir…
Supramolecular Association of Halochromic Switches and Halloysite Nanotubes in Fluorescent Nanoprobes for Tumor Detection
2022
Fluorescence imaging has become an indispensable tool in the biomedical laboratory to elucidate the fundamental dynamic and structural factors regulating cellular processes. The development of fluorescent nanoprobes represents a challenge to detect any cellular process under a microscope. Herein, a fluorescent nanomaterial was synthesized by exploiting the supramolecular interaction between a halochromic switch (1Cl) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The successful synthesis of a HNTs/1Cl nanomaterial was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared. The aqueous mobility was investigated by dynamic light scattering and ζ-potential measurements as well. Furthermore, …

Susceptibility of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to vibriosis due to Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 (serovar E)
2002
The present study documents the susceptibility of Nile tilapia to the experimental vibriosis caused by Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 (serovar E) using a reference strain (Spanish Collection of Type Cultures, CECT 4604) selected for its high degree of virulence for eels. The biotype 1 of this species is one of the usual organisms involved in epizootics occurred in tilapia. After intraperitoneal injection, the selected strain developed a haemorrhagic septicaemia similar to eel vibriosis with a LD50 four log units lower than that exhibited by the type strain of the species, which belongs to the biotype 1. The results obtained in waterborne and intubation challenges indicated that water and feed …
Fisioterapia en la fase de mantenimiento
2010
La fase III es la fase de mantenimiento de la capacidad funcional adquirida en la fase II, o también llamada fase de recuperación porque durante la misma el paciente se reincorpora totalmente a su actividad sociofamiliar y laboral. En esta fase la fisioterapia continua ejerciendo su papel en relación a la pauta de ejercico físico.
Sodium oxybate therapy for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome and the maintenance of alcohol abstinence
2017
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB or sodium oxybate) is both an exogenous and endogenous molecule with neuromodulator properties. In the United States, GHB is an approved drug for the treatment of narcolepsy and narcolepsy with cataplexy in adults. In some European Union countries, sodium oxybate is applied for the treatment of opioid and alcohol withdrawal.
Incidenza della mutazione rs12979860 del gene di IL28 in un gruppo di soggetti HCV positivi dell’U.O.C. di Malattie infettive del P.O. Civico di Pale…
L'infezione cronica da HCV colpisce 170 milioni di persone in tutto il mondo;su 100 persone infettate dal virus HCV il 15% non sviluppa alcuna patologia cronica ed elimina il virus, il restante 85% sviluppa forme croniche della malattia con evoluzione in cirrosi epatica e in carcinoma epato-cellulare.Il trattamento dell'epatite C cronica, che offre i maggiori vantaggi, è rappresentato da un ciclo di 24-48 settimane di PEG-Interferone-alfa-2a e Ribavirina. Il suo esito è influenzato da una serie di fattori tra cui il genotipo virale ed alcuni polimorfismi genetici dell’ospite I pazienti infetti da HCV di genotipo 2 o 3 hanno probabilità 2-3 volte maggiore di rispondere alla terapia rispetto …
