Carbon monoxide improves cardiac energetics and safeguards the heart during reperfusion after cardiopulmonary bypass in pigs
2004
Ischemia-reperfusion injury, a clinical problem during cardiac surgery, involves worsened adenosine trisphosphate (ATP) generation and damage to the heart. We studied carbon monoxide ( CO) pretreatment, proven valuable in rodents but not previously tested in large animals, for its effects on pig hearts subjected to cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioplegic arrest. Hearts of CO-treated pigs showed significantly higher ATP and phosphocreatine levels, less interstitial edema, and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and required fewer defibrillations after bypass. We conclude that treatment with CO improves the energy status, prevents edema formation and apoptosis, and facilitates recovery in a clinical…
Meža cūku (Sus scrofa) līķu loma Āfrikas cūku mēra izplatībā: eksperiments dabā
2017
Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādas sugas, cik bieži un daudz dabiskos apstākļos barojas ar meža cūku līķiem. Dzīvniekus fiksēja ar divām Spypoint 8MP Game Camera with Wireless Photo Trans up to 250 Feet un sešām Ltl Acorn 6210 MC automātiskajām dzīvnieku fotokamerām divos parauglaukumos – mežā ar kokiem aizklātā vietā un atklātā vietā meža ielokā. Pētījums veikts sadarbībā ar Vides risinājumu institūtu Cēsu novada Vaives pagastā. Darbā dati analizēti laika posmā no 2016. gada augusta līdz 2017. gada martam. Pēc fotokameru failu analizēšanas secināja, ka visbiežāk ar meža cūkas līķi barojās šādas sugas: krauklis, žagata, meža cūka un rudā lapsa. Novēroja, ka ar meža cūkas līķi barojās meža cū…
Synthesis of Fluorinated and Nonfluorinated Tebufenpyrad Analogues for the Study of Anti-angiogenesis MOA
2014
In this contribution we report the synthesis of fluorinated and nonfluorinated tebufenpyrad analogues to explore potential druglike properties through the phenotypic screening as part of the Lilly Open Innovation Drug Discovery (OIDD) program.

Current challenges supporting school-aged children with vision problems: A rapid review
2021
Contains fulltext : 240193.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Many children have undetected vision problems or insufficient visual information processing that may be a factor in lower academic outcomes. The aim of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the importance of vision screening for school-aged children, and to investigate the possibilities of how eye-tracking (ET) technologies can support this. While there are indications that these technologies can support vision screening, a broad understanding of how to apply them and by whom, and if it is possible to utilize them at schools, is lacking. We review interdisciplinary research on performing vision investigat…
Technologies supporting vision screening: a protocol for a scoping review
2021
Introduction Vision problems affect academic performance, social and mental health. Most traditional vision screening methods rely on human expert assessments based on a set of vision tests. As technology advances, new instruments and computerised tools are available for complementing vision screening. The scoping review based on this protocol aims to investigate current technologies for vision screening, what vision tests can be complemented by technologies, and how these can support vision screening by providing measurements. Methods and analysis The planned review will utilise the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) tool. Electronic search will be performed in databases, i…
Effectiveness of interceptive treatment of class III malocclusions with skeletal anchorage: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2017
Recently, new strategies for treating class III malocclusions have appeared. Skeletal anchorage appears to reduce the dentoalveolar effects while maximising the orthopaedic effect in growing patients. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the effectiveness of bone anchorage devices for interceptive treatment of skeletal class III malocclusions. Searches were made in the Pubmed, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane databases, as well as in a grey literature database, and were complemented by hand-searching. The criteria for eligibility were: patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment with skeletal anchorage (miniplates and miniscrews). Patients with syndromes or …

Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer
2013
Journal article TERT-locus SNPs and leukocyte telomere measures are reportedly associated with risks of multiple cancers. Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, we analyzed ~480 SNPs at the TERT locus in breast (n = 103,991), ovarian (n = 39,774) and BRCA1 mutation carrier (n = 11,705) cancer cases and controls. Leukocyte telomere measurements were also available for 53,724 participants. Most associations cluster into three independent peaks. The minor allele at the peak 1 SNP rs2736108 associates with longer telomeres (P = 5.8 × 10!-7), lower risks for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative (P = 1.0 × 10!-8) and BRCA1 mutation carrier (P = 1.1 × 10!-5) breast cancers and altered promot…
Necessità della teoria
2022
Premessa indispensabile ai contenuti del saggio è l’aver voluto inserire, nel Corso di studi in Architettura di Palermo – quinquennale a ciclo unico – dall’anno accademico 2019 – 2020, come modulo integrato del Laboratorio di progettazione architettonica del primo anno, l’insegnamento di Teoria della progettazione architettonica. Qual è l’origine di tale necessità? Le ragioni di questa scelta, condivisa all’unanimità con Il Consiglio di Corso di laurea, hanno una radice lontana e in buona parte autobiografica. Rispetto a tale genealogia è utile spiegare da quale seme è germogliata questa esigenza didattica che traduce il mio interesse per la teoria tout court. La complessa etimologia della …
