Transverse Sinus Stenosis in Refractory Chronic Headache Patients: An Observational Study

2019

Background: Transverse sinus stenosis is a common brain MRI finding in chronic migraine (CM) and chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) patients in clinical practice; however, its clinical and diagnostic role is unclear. The aim of the study is to determine the frequency of transverse sinus stenosis in these headache patients resistant to preventive treatments and to verify whether this is a useful finding for identifying patients with intracranial hypertension. Methods: This is an observational study. Patients with refractory CM and CTTH underwent a 3T-magnetic resonance venography (MRV) before cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure measurement. Transverse sinus stenosis was determined u…

Suggested randomized, controlled trial for frovatriptan: a reply

2011

Dear Sir, We read with interest the comments of Dr. Tfelt-Hansen [1] regarding our three recently published randomized controlled trials comparing patients’ preference (primary endpoint) and efficacy (secondary endpoints) of frovatriptan 2.5 mg versus zolmitriptan 2.5 mg [2], rizatriptan 10 mg [3] and almotriptan 12.5 mg [4], and the meta-analysis of pooled individual data from the three studies [5]. In all studies frovatriptan showed similar preference and short-term efficacy outcomes (pain relief and pain-free episodes at 2 h) with respect to the other three triptans. The questions put by Dr. Tfelt-Hansen sound appropriate. Doubts are raised on the usefulness of head-to-head preference tr…

Programming of neural progenitors of the adult subependymal zone towards a glutamatergic identity by Neurogenin2

2017

ABSTRACTWhile the adult subependymal zone (SEZ) harbors pools of distinct neural stem cells that generate different types of GABAergic interneurons, a small progenitor population in the dorsal SEZ expresses Neurog2 and gives rise to glutamatergic neurons. Here we investigated whether SEZ progenitors can be programmed towards glutamatergic neurogenesis through forced expression of Neurog2. Retrovirus-mediated expression of Neurog2 induced the glutamatergic neuron lineage markers Tbr2 and Tbr1 in cultured SEZ progenitors which subsequently differentiated into functional glutamatergic neurons. Likewise, retrovirus-mediated expression of Neurog2 in dividing SEZ progenitors within the adult SEZ …

Relevance of lactate level detection in migrane and fibromyalgia

2019

The aim of this study was to determine the blood lactate levels in healthy and pathological subjects, particularly with migraine and fibromyalgia. Moreover we investigated the possible correlation between lactate concentration, postural stability and balance disorders; the composition of the groups were: migraine (n = 25; age 49.7 +/- 12.5), fibromyalgia (n = 10; age 43.7 +/- 21.2), control group (n = 16 age 28.52 +/- 2.4). The results showed that patients with fibromyalgia (FG) had higher lactate levels compared to migraine (MG) and control group (CG) (mean +/- sd: FG = 1.78 +/- 0.9 mmol/L; MG = 1.45 +/- 1 mmol/L; CG = 0,85 +/- 0,07 mmol/L). The same situation was highlighted about the swa…

Recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C in special population groups (migrants, intravenous drug us…

2011

Abstract The global spread of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), their high chronicity rates and their progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, are major public health problems. Research and intervention programmes for special population groups are needed in order to assess their infection risk and set up suitable prevention and control strategies. Aim of this paper is to give health care professionals information on HBV and HCV infections amongst migrants, drug users and prison inmates. The manuscript is an official Position Paper on behalf of the following Scientific Societies: Italian Association for the Study of the Liver (A.I.S.F.), Italian Society of In…

Cytokine components and mucosal immunity in the oviduct of Xenopus laevis (amphibia, pipidae)

2011

Abstract Most studies on the mucosal immunity in female reproductive tissues have been performed in mammals. In all species, apart from their reproductive strategies, immunity in the genital mucosa is required to defend the host against luminal pathogens. In this study we investigated the role of the innate immunity of the oviductal mucosa of Xenopus laevis , an amphibian characterized by external fertilization. In particular we examined the expression and localization of Interleukin-1β (IL1B), Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and Interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL1R1) in different oviductal portions including an upper glandular region, an intermediate and a lower aglandular regi…

De la "colla" a la "guenga". Memorias, redes y estrategias de la emigración valenciana a los Estados Unidos de América durante el primer tercio dels …

2018

El objeto de esta tesis es hacer memoria: activar la recuperación de recuerdos y experiencias relacionadas con la emigración de valencianos a los Estados Unidos de América durante el primer tercio del siglo XX, desde una de las comarcas donde ésta tuvo mayor impacto demográfico, la Marina Alta, en la provincia de Alicante. A partir de este núcleo podremos conocer cómo este fenómeno se extendió por las comarcas vecinas, en concreto, por el Comtat, también en Alicante y por las de la Safor y la Ribera Alta, en la provincia de Valencia. La emigración española que tuvo como destino este país norteamericano en este periodo es un fenómeno prácticamente desconocido para las ciencias sociales. A es…

El papel del marco jurídico-institucional internacional en la reestructuración de los sistemas de innovación y la migración calificada internacional

2020

Partiendo de una visión crítica sobre el derecho y el derecho internacional, esta tesis analiza una doble problemática que reviste particular interés para comprender la dinámica del capitalismo contemporáneo: por un lado, la profunda reestructuración que experimentan los sistemas de innovación en la actualidad, tomando como referente el caso paradigmático de Silicon Valley y, por el otro, el nuevo dinamismo que en el curso de las tres últimas décadas experimenta la migración calificada y, particularmente, aquella que se despliega en dirección sur-norte. En el corazón del argumento subyace la hipótesis de que el marco jurídico-institucional internacional configurado por la Organización Mundi…
