Intermittent Horner's syndrome on alternate sides: a hint for locating spinal lesions.
1980
A patient with a cervical intramedullary ependymoma is described who exhibited a Horner's syndrome on alternate sides. Pharmacological study demonstrated damage to the pre-ganglionic sympathetic neurons. Disregarding cases with the Shy-Drager syndrome, three comparable case reports have been found in the literature where the fluctuating expression of Horner's syndrome, alternating from one side to the other, was attributable to a lesion of the cervical spinal cord. In contrast to the present patient, the pharmacological responses of these patients indicated a lesion of the central sympathetic pathway.
Decisions of higher education students according to the social environment. A conjecture based on reflexivity, biograficity and empirical research
2019
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar una conjetura epistemológica que combina un marco de análisis basado en la capacidad reflexiva, como parte intrínseca del desarrollo de la investigación social cualitativa y que denominamos como el salto de lo empírico a lo teórico, además de incorporar la perspectiva teórica de la biograficidad para el estudio de las trayectorias educativas en educación superior. Esta propuesta surge desde nuestra propia experiencia investigadora adquirida en diversas investigaciones dentro de una línea sobre transiciones y trayectorias en educación superior en el sistema español. Para enmarcar este salto de lo empírico a lo teórico presentamos, como resultado, un…
Skin innervation at different depths correlates with small fibre function but not with pain in neuropathic pain patients
2012
Background: Neuropathy can lead not only to impaired function but also to sensory sensitization. We aimed to link reduced skin nerve fibre density in different levels to layer-specific functional impairment in neuropathic pain patients and tried to identify pain-specific functional and structural markers. Methods: In 12 healthy controls and 36 patients with neuropathic pain, we assessed clinical characteristics, thermal thresholds (quantitative sensory testing) and electrically induced pain and axon reflex erythema. At the most painful sites and at intra-individual control sites, skin biopsies were taken and innervation densities in the different skin layers were assessed. Moreover, neurona…

La prevención del consumo de drogas en España: evolución y propuestas para la reflexión
2005
El presente trabajo hace una revisión de la prevención realizada en España en los últimos años, con algunas referencias a las influencias recibidas de otros países y con especial atención a la efectividad de las actuaciones puestas en marcha.
Firing characteristics of vestibular nuclei neurons in the alert monkey after bilateral vestibular neurectomy
1992
After destruction of the peripheral vestibular system which is not activated by moving large-field visual stimulation, not only labyrinthine-ocular reflexes but also optokinetic-ocular responses related to the "velocity storage" mechanism are abolished. In the normal monkey optokinetic-ocular responses are reflected in sustained activity changes of central vestibular neurons within the vestibular nuclei. To account for the loss of optokinetic responses after labyrinthectomy, inactivation of central vestibular neurons consequent on the loss of primary vestibular activity is assumed to be of major importance. To test this hypothesis we recorded the neural activity within the vestibular nuclea…
Are local food chains more sustainable than global food chains? Considerations for assessment
2016
© 2016 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. This paper summarizes the main findings of the GLAMUR project which starts with an apparently simple question: is "local" more sustainable than "global"? Sustainability assessment is framed within a post-normal science perspective, advocating the integration of public deliberation and scientific research. The assessment spans 39 local, intermediate and global supply chain case studies across different commodities and countries. Assessment criteria cover environmental, economic, social, health and ethical sustainability dimensions. A closer view of the food system demonstrates a highly dynamic local-global continuum where actors, whil…
Contemporary hermeneutics and the role of the self in translation
2009
La investigación hermenéutica, impulsada por Schleiermacher a principios del siglo XIX, parece haber conducido, en los últimos años del siglo XX, a una concepción más amplia y profunda del papel del traductor. La confluencia de diversas fuerzas y corrientes científicas y filosóficas y su consiguiente refuerzo mutuo han dado lugar a la aparición de un conjunto de teorías que se ocupan de las inquietudes del traductor en torno a la subjetividad de la traducción. Este conjunto de teorías recoge influencias tanto de las principales escuelas de pensamiento, tales como los estudios hermenéuticos de Heidegger y Gadamer, la deconstrucción de Derrida, las aventuras de Wittgenstein con los juegos de …
Valutazione partecipata e continuità nei servizi educativi zero-sei: una ricerca-intervento in un quartiere della città di Palermo
2021
RIASSUNTO In questo articolo verrà condotta inizialmente una riflessione sulla funzione della valutazione di contesto sia in termini formativi individuali e di gruppo, sia in termini di cambiamento organizzativo, adottando una prospettiva ecologica e sistemica. Successivamente, attraverso la narrazione di un percorso di ricerca sulla costruzione di un possibile curricolo zero-sei, condotta per tre anni con un gruppo di insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia statale ed un gruppo di educatrici di un nido comunale operanti nello stesso territorio (un quartiere del centro storico di Palermo), verranno messi in luce e problematizzati ambiti di continuità e di discontinuità tra i due servizi educativ…
