Lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation are related to the severity of OSAS
2014
OBJECTIVE: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with elevated cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Considering that oxidative stress is involved in endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis development, our aim was to examine lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, two parameters of oxidative status, in a group of subjects with OSAS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We consecutively enrolled 48 patients (36 men and 12 women; mean age 49.7±14.6 yrs) with OSAS, subsequently subdivided according to the apnea/hy-popnea index (AHI) value in two subgroups: Low (L= 21 subjects with AHI30). We examined lipid peroxidation, expressed as TBARS, and protein oxidation, measured as carbonyl …

Audiologic profile of OSAS and simple snoring patients: the effect of chronic nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function
2016
The objective of this work was to study the effect of nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function of simple snoring patients and subjects affected by OSAS; we compared the audiologic profile with the severity of OSAS to detect early signs of cochlear damage. One hundred-sixty patients underwent overnight polysomnography, micro-otoscopy, multi-frequency audiometry, acufenometry, TEOAE recording and d-ROMs test. All subjects were divided in four groups, based on presence/absence of AHI (simple snoring without OSAS, mild OSAS, moderate OSAS, severe OSAS). Sixty (37.5 %) patients were not affected by OSAS, 58 (36.25 %) presented a mild OSAS, 18 (11.25 %) a moderate OSAS and 24 (15 %) a …
Bene vivere politice
2022
Abstract This chapter approaches the question of biopolitics in ancient political thought looking not at specific political techniques but at notions of the final aim of the political community. It argues that the “happiness” (eudaimonia, beatitudo) that constitutes the greatest human good in the tradition from Aristotle to Thomas Aquinas is not a “biopolitical” ideal, but rather a metabiopolitical one, consisting in a contemplative activity situated above and beyond the biological and the political. It is only with Thomas Hobbes that civic happiness becomes “biopolitically” identified with simple survival; for modernity, as Hannah Arendt puts it, mere being alive becomes the greatest human…
Naso e dintorni
2009
Il termine di rinosinusite individua uno stato di flogosi della mucosa del naso e dei seni paranasali. Questa terminologia nasce dalla considerazione che la mucosa nasale e sinusale sono un’unica entità anatomo-funzionale, e supera così i vecchi concetti di “rinite” e “sinusite”. La rinosinusite è una patologia che colpisce un numero elevato di persone, sia adulti che bambini e ha mostrato un incremento d’incidenza progressivo negli ultimi anni parallelamente alla diffusione dell’allergopatia. Attualmente viene stimata una prevalenza di malattia del 14% circa nella popolazione generale. Di fatto il disturbo rinosinusale rappresenta uno dei principali motivi di consultazione del Medico di Me…

Russian speakers’ media engagement and acculturation in Finland and Latvia
2022
AbstractThis comparative study looks into Russian speakers’ acculturation in Finland and Latvia by contrasting their cultural involvement and cultural preference Carlson and Güler (J Int Migr Integr 19:625–647, 2018. 10.1007/s12134-018-0554-4) with their self-reported news media use. Drawing on survey data collected from both countries (N = 224), the findings show that participants in both countries scored closer to biculturalism than monoculturalism. Majority of the respondents report predominantly engaging with non-Russian news media sources. However, regardless of the societal context, respondents who were more engaged with Russian news media sources also scored higher on cultural prefer…
Vuorohoidon henkilöstön kokemuksia ammatillisesta identiteetistään ja osaamisestaan
2014
Tämän pro gradu-tutkielman tarkoituksena oli tarkastella vuorohoidon henkilöstön kokemuksia omasta ammatillisesta identiteetistään työhön liittyvien positiivisten ja negatiivisten tekijöiden kautta. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin myös henkilöstön kokemuksia vuoropäivähoidon asettamista haasteista heidän ammatilliselle osaamiselleen. Kolmas tarkastelun kohde oli se, onko pohjakoulutuksella yhteyttä henkilöstön kokemuksiin ammatillisen osaamisen haasteista sekä työhön liittyvistä positiivisista ja negatiivisista tekijöistä. Tämän tutkielman aineisto on saatu Perheet 24/7-projektista. Projektin tarkoituksena on tutkia, millaisia yhteyksiä vanhempien vuorotyöllä on perheiden elämään sekä alle…
Perspectives on physiotherapy students' professional competence development during their education
2019
The aim of this dissertation was to investigate, from different perspectives, how physiotherapy students understand and experience their competence and its development during their education. The research focused on the whole study path of students (n=35) from the very beginning of their studies to their graduation. The data, essays and open interviews, were analysed using phenomenographic analysis and narrative analysis approaches. The purpose was to identify the various ways in which beginning physiotherapy students understand the conceptions of skill, to describe graduating students’ experiences of reflective writing as a tool for learning, to identify students’ conceptions of their comp…
