NEOTECTONIC ACTIVITY AND EMISSION OF FLUIDS IN THE NORTHWEST SICILY CHANNEL
The southern Sicilian coast represents an important contribution to Italian tourism, the Sicily Channel is an important communication path because at the top of its seafloor there are many pipelines, and submarine communication cables which are laid to carry signals, and which are very important to the minor islands. In this work, we are presenting results of the detailed geomorphological and seismostratigraphic analysis based on new very high-resolution dataset (multibeam and CHIRP) acquired during the ACUSCAL 2015 Cruise. We also used low resolution bathymetric and seismic data provided from online database (ViDEPI, GEBCO, EMODnet). This study allows us to reconstruct the tectonic volcani…

WebGIS Implementation for Dynamic Mapping and Visualization of Coastal Geospatial Data: A Case Study of BESS Project
2021
Within an E.U.-funded project, BESS (Pocket Beach Management and Remote Surveillance System), the notion of a geographic information system is an indispensable tool for managing the dynamics of georeferenced data and information for any form of territorial planning. This notion was further explored with the creation of a WebGIS portal that will allow local and regional stakeholders/authorities obtain an easy remote access tool to monitor the status of pocket beaches (PB) in the Maltese Archipelago and Sicily. In this paper, we provide a methodological approach for the implementation of a WebGIS necessary for very detailed dynamic mapping and visualization of geospatial coastal data
Gingival bleeding reduction using a carbamide peroxide based tooth paste with lactoperoxidase
2011
Introduction: The combination of carbamide peroxide, thiocyanate or enzymes such as amynoglucosidase or gluco-oxidase is able to reduce gingival inflammation. Objective: To evaluate antiseptic efficacy, in relation to reduced gingival bleeding, of a new dentifrice containing carbamide peroxide and lactorperoxidase. Materials and method: A sample of 32 patients, with periodontal pockets of more than 3mm in the vestibular area and 4 mm at interproximal sites, was divided into two groups of 16 and 17 patients respectively. Group A used a dentifrice containing 3% carbamide peroxide and 5% lactoperoxidase plus 0.022% sodium fluoride for three weeks followed by a control dentifrice with only 0.02…
Origin and distribution of suspended organic matter as inferred from carbon isotope composition in a Mediterranean semi-enclosed marine system
1999
The origin and distribution of suspended organic matter, the trophic features and the stable carbon isotopic composition of particulate organic carbon (POC) were studied monthly in a Western Mediterranean semi-enclosed basin. Sampling stations were selected as a function of wind-exposure and the degree of vegetation cover and then compared with an adjacent unvegetated site. The predominant vegetation was seagrass (Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa) and Caulerpa prolifera. Water samples were analyzed for total suspended matter (inorganic and organic fractions), photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll-a and phaeopigments), dissolved organic carbon, particulate organic carbon and their isot…
Mastoidectomy in surgical procedures to treat retraction pockets: a single-center experience and review of the literature
2022
Abstract Purpose Retraction pocket (RP) is a common event affecting the middle ear when a negative pressure within it causes a retraction of a single part of the tympanic membrane (TM). Patients can be asymptomatic or can experience hearing loss, fullness feeling and/or ear discharge. RP can be stable or develop a cholesteatoma; aim of the study was to investigate if mastoidectomy may play a role in the surgical management of patients suffering from RP, both reporting our experience and discussing the existing literature. Methods Fifty-one patients affected by RP were referred for surgery and randomly divided into two groups. Patients of G1 group underwent tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy, …
Identificación de variantes genéticas poco frecuentes y raras en Diabetes mellitus tipo 2 mediante secuenciación de exoma
2015
Identificación de variantes genéticas poco frecuentes y raras en diabetes mellitus tipo 2 mediante secuenciación de exoma. La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) se ha convertido en una epidemia global que contribuye significativamente a la morbi-mortalidad prematura. La DM2 es resultado de múltiples factores, incluyendo ambientales, genéticos y adquiridos. Se ha demostrado que la heredabilidad de la DM2 se encuentra alrededor del 70%. No obstante, los estudios realizados sólo han podido identificar una pequeña proporción del componente genético de la enfermedad. El resto del componente podría residir, en parte, en variantes genéticas poco frecuentes (MAF 20 y con valores predictivos de alteraci…
