0229: Alterations of cardiac function induced by postnatal overfeeding can be reversed by moderate diet restriction
2014
Postnatal overfeeding (OF) in rodents induces a permanent moderate increase in body weight, metabolic disorders and progressive alterations of cardiac function. Our aim was to determine whether moderate diet restriction could restore cardiac function in mature overfed mice. Immediately after birth, litters of C57BL/6 mice were either maintained at nine (normal-fed group, NF), or reduced to three in order to induce OF. At weaning, mice of both groups received a standard diet ad libitum (AL). At 6 months of age, half of the OF mice were assigned to a moderate 20% calorie restriction (CR, OF-CR) for one month, while NF and the other half of the OF mice continued to eat ad libitum (NF-AL, OF-AL…
0053 : Short-term moderate diet restriction in adulthood can reverse alterations of cardiac function induced by postnatal overfeeding in mice
2015
Postnatal overfeeding (OF) in rodents induces early programming of cardio-metabolic risk: permanent moderate increase in body weight, metabolic disorders and progressive alterations of cardiac function in adulthood. Our aim was to determine whether moderate diet restriction, performed at the time where these disorders are acquired, could restore cardiac function and ameliorate post-ischemic recovery.Immediately after birth, litters of C57BL/6 mice were either maintained at 9 (normal-fed group, NF), or reduced to 3 in order to induce OF. At weaning, mice of both groups received a standard diet ad libitum (AL). At 6 months of age, half of the NF mice and OF mice were assigned to a moderate 20…
Rare cardiomyopathies: Diagnostic features
2013
Cardiomyopathies (CM) are an important and heterogeneous group of diseases affecting the myocardium. They can induce mechanical and/or electrical disorders and are due to a variety of causes, they frequently are genetic. However, since their high number and their clinical complexity, the identification is still a challenge. Echocardiography is a very useful tool in the assessment of CM. In this review we aim to define the typical clinical features and to discuss the main diagnostic tool, above all echocardiography that can help physicians in the correct assessment of CM.
Prognostic role of endothelial dysfunction and carotid intima-media thickness in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation
2009
Aim. Impaired endothelial function and increased carotid intima-media thickness are key events in the atherosclerotic process and predict future cardiovascular events in subjects with and without coronary artery disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the vasodilator response to increased flow in the brachial artery and the presence of carotid lesions may have a prognostic significance for in-stent restenosis in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. Methods. The study population included 58 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting and at least 10 months of follow-up. All patients underwent ultrasound detection of brachial artery re…

Aggiunte al catalogo di Bonaventura Caruso, sacerdote e orafo messinese della seconda metà del ‘700
2011
Il nome di Bonaventura Caruso, sacerdote e orafo messinese, compare per la prima volta intorno agli anni '70 del XVIII secolo. L'autore, attraverso lo studio delle fonti e grazie a un'accurata analisi stilistica, propone l'identificazione e l'attribuzione a Caruso di un gruppo di opere di argenteria sacra prodotta a Messina oggi nei tesori delle Chiese Madri di Geraci Siculo e Mistretta, tutte caratterizzate dalla presenza di forme e motivi decorativi rococò, ma già tendenti al neoclassicismo. The name of Bonaventura Caruso, a priest and goldsmith from Messina, first appears around the 1870s. The author, through the study of sources and thanks to careful stylistic analysis, proposes the ide…

Il tema delle absidi nelle Cattedrali normanne di Palermo e Cefalù tra storia, storiografia e restauri
2021
The essay illustrates the main characteristics of the Norman apses of the Cathedrals of Palermo and Cefalù, with specific reference to the themes of the cleristory (or internal gallery or ambulatory) and the relative connections at height . These areas, in Sicilian architecture in which Arab, Byzantine and Norman characters are hybridized in a splendid mix, have been the subject of a rich Sicilian historiographical production, which is accounted for. The interpretation of history and of the transformations that have affected complexes of such high value, experienced through documents and critical reasoning on the reliefs with the hypothesis of restitution, allows us to make a contribution t…
Condition and Role of the Norman Cathedrals in the Fourteenth Century: Maintenance, Restoration and Renovation
2022
After conquering Sicily between 1061 and 1091, the Normans built new cathedrals that modified not only religious life, but also architecture and urban layout. Dramatic events, like wars, earthquakes, and fires, clumsy restorations and culpable inaccuracy have profoundly altered the appearance of Norman cathedrals. The aim of this paper is to analyse the state of conservation of the Cathedrals of Palermo, Monreale, Messina and Agrigento in the fourteenth century, when Sicily was profoundly affected by the war between the Angevins and the Aragonese that lasted ninety years and impoverished the island. The analysis of four case studies from the past will allow us to outline new perspectives fo…
