Oral CorticoSteroid sparing with biologics in severe asthma: A remark of the Severe Asthma Network in Italy (SANI)

2020

According to the data derived from several national and international registries, including SANI (Severe Asthma Network Italy), and considering the strong impact that frequent or regular use of oral corticosteroid has on quality of life (QoL) of severe asthmatics, as well as on the costs for managing corticosteroid-related diseases, oral corticosteroid sparing up to withdrawal should be considered a primary outcome in the management of severe asthma. New biologics have clearly demonstrated that this effect is possible, with concomitant reduction in the rate of exacerbations and in symptom control. Then, there is no reason for using so frequently oral corticosteroid before having explored al…

Software for automated application of a reference-based method fora posterioridetermination of the effective radiographic imaging geometry

2005

Objectives: Presentation and validation of software developed for automated and accurate application of a reference-based algorithm (reference sphere method: RSM) inferring the effective imaging geometry from quantitative radiographic image analysis. Methods: The software uses modern pattern recognition and computer vision algorithms adapted for the particular application of automated detection of the reference sphere shadows (ellipses) with subpixel accuracy. It applies the RSM algorithm to the shadows detected, thereby providing threedimensional Cartesian coordinates of the spheres. If the three sphere centres do not lie on one line, they uniquely determine the imaging geometry. Accuracy …

Indagato "virtuale" e contraddittorio

2007

Le ordinanze in commento offrono l’opportunità di ripercorrere l’iter esegetico nel quale si è in passato imbattuta la Corte Costituzionale in tema di limiti soggettivi ravvisabili nell’art. 403 c.p.p., per coglierne gli aspetti più volubili ai quali si è successivamente ancorato il legislatore del 1997 nel ribaltare l’orientamento puntualizzato con le due note pronunce del 1994 . Nel caso specifico il Giudice ha deciso di annullare l’ordinanza con la quale era stato ammesso l’esame dei periti indicati nella lista del pubblico ministero e della parte civile in ordine agli esiti di un incarico peritale che era stato loro conferito nel corso di un incidente probatorio svoltosi nell’ambito di …

Preliminary data revealing efficacy of Streptococcus salivarius K12 (SSK12) in Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and cervical Adeniti…

2023

ObjectiveTo evaluate the potential role of Streptococcus salivarius K12 (SSK12) in controlling febrile flares in patients with Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and cervical Adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome. Further aims were to assess the impact of SSK12 on (i) flare duration, (ii) variation in the degree of the highest body temperature during flares, (iii) steroid-sparing effect, and (iv) change of PFAPA accompanying symptoms before and after SSK12 introduction.Patients and methodsThe medical charts from 85 pediatric patients with PFAPA syndrome (49 males and 36 females) enrolled in the AIDA registry and treated with SSK12 for a median period of 6.00 ± 7.00 months in the period b…

Safety and performance of a suprachoroidal sensor for telemetric measurement of intraocular pressure in the EYEMATE-SC trial

2023

AimTo investigate the safety and performance of a telemetric suprachoroidal intraocular pressure (IOP) sensor (EYEMATE-SC) and the accuracy of its IOP measurements in open angle glaucoma (OAG) patients undergoing simultaneous non-penetrating glaucoma surgery (NPGS).MethodsProspective, multicentre, open-label, single-arm, interventional clinical trial. Twenty-four eyes of 24 patients with OAG regularly scheduled for NPGS (canaloplasty or deep sclerectomy) were simultaneously implanted with an EYEMATE-SC sensor. Six-month follow-up on the sensor’s safety and performance as well as on the level of agreement between the EYEMATE-SC measurements and IOP measurements with Goldmann applanation tono…

Some thoughts about the conceptual / procedural distinction in translation: a key-logging and eye-tracking study of processing effort

2014

This article builds on the conceptual / procedural distinction postulated by Relevance Theory to investigate processing effort in translation task execution. Drawing on relevance-theoretic assumptions, it assumes that instances related to procedural encodings will require more effortful processing not only in relation to the time spent on the task but also in terms of product indicators such as seconds per word and number of micro translation units per word. Drawing on key-logging and eye-tracking data, the article shows that there are statistically significant differences when conceptual and procedural encodings are analysed in selected areas of interest, with instances related to procedur…

Lung CT Image Registration through Landmark-constrained Learning with Convolutional Neural Network

2020

Accurate registration of lung computed tomography (CT) image is a significant task in thorax image analysis. Recently deep learning-based medical image registration methods develop fast and achieve promising performance on accuracy and speed. However, most of them learned the deformation field through intensity similarity but ignored the importance of aligning anatomical landmarks (e.g., the branch points of airway and vessels). Accurate alignment of anatomical landmarks is essential for obtaining anatomically correct registration. In this work, we propose landmark constrained learning with a convolutional neural network (CNN) for lung CT registration. Experimental results of 40 lung 3D CT …
