Surgical treatment of solitary sternal metastasis from breast cancer Case report
2016
Bone metastasis is a frequent and early complication of breast cancer. This case report describes a technique for a partial exeresis of the sternum and the reconstruction of the pleura with autologous dermis from the lower abdomen and the loss of substance with a myocutaneous flap.We describe the case of a 50-year old woman with a sternal excavated lesion with pathologic fracture due to an invasive adenocarcinoma, treated with a partial exeresis of the sternum and the reconstruction with a myocutaneous flap.The patient doesn't show evidence of recurrent disease and the stability of her chest well preserved.Metastatic breast cancer to the sternum, if detected early and treated aggressively, …
Motor learning and body size within an insect brain computational model
2014
Nowadays modeling insect brains is also an important source of inspiration to develop learning architectures and control algorithms for applications on autonomous walking robots. Within the insect brain two important neuropiles received a lot of attention: the mushroom bodies (MBs) and the central complex (CX). Recent research activities considered the MBs as a unique architecture where different behavioural functions can be found. MBs are well known in bees and flies for their role in performing associative learning and memory in odor conditioning experiments [4]. They are also involved in the processing of multiple sensory modalities including visual tasks [3], different forms of learning…
Panel Summary:Multistimuli and Different Sensory Modalities
1999
Our everyday environment in which we live is characterised by stimuli capable of eliciting our actions (or reactions). Generally our actions are influenced by a number of stimuli which are multimodal.
Rotational panoramic radiographs-unusual triple images
2015
Currently clinicians advice rotational panoramic radiography (RPR) for preliminary investigation. Despite few inherent limitations, rotational panoramic radiography still remains the diagnostic tool of choice. Abnormal structures such as a supernumerary tooth or a device falling within the certain central regions in conventional RPR images may mislead the clinicians towards an inaccurate diagnosis by producing multiple ghost images. Such cases must be treated with circumspect, and apart from RPR, additional imaging modalities need be employed to provide a judicious interpretation of the clinical situation. Thus this manuscript, we present a case where a paramedian supernumerary tooth which …
La ecclesia carinensis. Un esempio di diocesi rurale a Villagrazia di Carini (Palermo).
2013
Ad Ovest di Palermo, una vasta area che si estende dalla costa per oltre quattro chilometri verso l’interno nel territorio del comune di Carini, dall’ellenismo fino alla tarda antichità ha conosciuto una serie di dinamiche insediative assai articolate. Gli esiti delle ricognizioni e i risultati di campagne di scavo condotte in anni recenti in tutta la zona e, in particolare, nella contrada San Nicola, documentano la riorganizzazione dell’insediamento rurale con la presenza di fattorie e ville rustiche, la probabile attestazione di un vicus e almeno di una villa padronale, in stretta relazione col percorso della costiera Via Valeria e con la viabilità secondaria interna che collegava Panormo…
Culture del tatuaggio
2018
La pratica contemporanea del tatuaggio conosce una diffusione planetaria. Ma la scrittura sul corpo da anti-linguaggio marginale è diventata moda globalizzata. Diverse scienze umane si sono occupate del fenomeno, in particolare l’antropologia criminale a quella culturale, nei loro intrecci con la sociologia, il folklore, la teoria delle immagini, la storia letteraria e gli studi culturali e, not least, la semiotica, teoria del segno e del senso. La questione dell’identità individuale e collettiva dei processi di costruzione, trasformazione e denegazione del segno che dal somatico tracima nel sociale (e viceversa), peraltro, coincide solo parzialmente con quella relativa alla scrittura del c…
Distribution of Working Time and Contents of Physiotherapy Activities in a Clinical Setting.
1994
The purpose of the present study was to collect personnel utilization data in the physiotherapy department of a general hospital as a basis for improving the practice of physiotherapy. Over a four-week period in a process of continuous observation 12 physiotherapists recorded their activities under predefined task categories. The percentages of total time used in the observed activities were as follows: direct patient treatment 31%, other work (planning, recording, arranging walking aids and student guidance) 10%, and cooperation (consultation, meetings, arranging patients' affairs, counselling relatives and parents) 9%. The proportion of uncategorized work amounted to half of the total wor…
ČGM rezonatoru izstrāde un pielietošana optisko frekvenču ķemmes ģenerēšanai
2021
ČGM rezonatori pēdejos gados fotonikas aprindās ir ieguvuši lielu popularitāti to daudzveidīgā pielietojuma dēļ - no mitruma, temperatūras sensoriem un lāzera stabilizētājiem līdz pat telekomunikācijām. Pēdējā rezonatori ieguvuši īpašu ievērību, jo to ieviešana manāmi vienkāršotu esošo telekomunikāciju arhitektūras uzbūvi, kā arī nodrošinātu kvalitatīvāku un ātrāku datu pārraides ātrumu, salīdzintot ar iepriekš iespējamo. Darbā apskatīti optimālākie rezonatoru izgatavošanas veidi un pielietošanas metodes mikrorezonatoru frekvenču ķemmju ģenerēšanai, kam būtu pietiekams potenciāls, lai tos varētu ieviest jau komerciālā kapacitātē, un tādejādi radītu jaunas inovācijas telekomunikāciju sektorā.
A critical evaluation of caplacizumab for the treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
2020
Introduction: Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy caused by inhibitory autoantibodies against ADAMTS13 protein. Until recently, the combination of plasma exchange (PEX) and immunosuppression has been the standard front-line treatment in this disorder. However, aTTP-related mortality, refractoriness, and relapse are still a matter of concern. Areas covered: The better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of aTTP has allowed substantial improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Recently, the novel anti-VWF nanobody caplacizumab has been approved for acute episodes of aTTP. Caplacizumab is capable to block the adh…
A central nervous system-focused treatment approach for people with frozen shoulder: protocol for a randomized clinical trial
2019
Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a musculoskeletal condition of poorly understood etiology that results in shoulder pain and large mobility deficits. Despite some physical therapy interventions, such as joint mobilization and exercise, having shown therapeutic benefit, a definitive treatment does not currently exist. The aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of a central nervous system (CNS)-directed treatment program versus a standard medical and physical therapy care program on outcomes in participants with FS. Methods/design: The study is a two-group, randomized clinical trial with blinding of participants and assessors. Participants will be recruited via referrals fr…
