Decrease in Serum Vitamin D Level of Older Patients with Fatigue
2019
Fatigue is characterized by reduced energy level, decreased muscle strength, and a variable degree of cognitive impairment. Recent evidences seem to link vitamin D deficiency to fatigue. The aim of this study was to assess and compare vitamin D status in a cohort of older subjects with and without fatigue. We recruited a total of 480 subjects, 240 patients with fatigue and 240 controls without fatigue, from the Cannizzaro Hospital of Catania (Italy). Fatigue severity was measured by the fatigue severity scale, whereas mental and physical fatigue were measured through the Wessely and Powell fatigue scale, respectively. We also measured several blood parameters and 25-OH vitamin D. Subjects w…
Malinowski and Bloch in the Field: Fragments, Beginnings and Imaginations
2010
Lo zoccolo molle e più clandestino del saggio è costituito dallo smussamento graduale, ma incondizionato della nozione di autore in favore di una funzione autore che consente di meglio fare emergere (o, viceversa, fare sparire), sull’esempio di Foucault, la consistenza apparente di un atto originario dietro il brusio delle voci della cultura. Il contributo è più apertamente incentrato sulla comparazione inedita di un antropologo e di uno storico: Bronislaw Malinowski e Marc Bloch. Mi sono servito intenzionalmente della ‘comparazione’ allo scopo di tentare un montaggio di alcuni testi dei due autori (alieni l’uno all’altro per formazione e per esperienze teoriche) e il mio stesso, graduale e…
Convergence for varying measures in the topological case
2023
In this paper convergence theorems for sequences of scalar, vector and multivalued Pettis integrable functions on a topological measure space are proved for varying measures vaguely convergent.

Real-time detection of riboflavin production by Lactobacillus plantarum strains and tracking of their gastrointestinal survival and functionality in …
2019
Some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce riboflavin, a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex, essential for human beings. Here, we have evaluated riboflavin (B2 vitamin) production by five Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from chicha, a traditional maize-based fermented alcoholic beverage from north-western Argentina and their isogenic riboflavin-overproducing derivatives previously selected using roseoflavin. A direct fluorescence spectroscopic detection method to quantify riboflavin production in bacterial culture supernatants has been tested. Comparison of the efficiency for riboflavin fluorescence quantification with and without prior HPLC fractionation showed that th…
Potential Effects of Dietary Vitamin E in Laboratory Animal Diets on Results Obtained in Models of Disease
1998
This chapter will demonstrate the importance of vitamin E dietary supplements on cell functions, on different biomedical systems, and on diverse pathophysiological conditions, with special emphasis being placed on cardiovascular pathophysiology. These effects are presented as a rationale for the use of vitamin E supplements in diets of farm animals, pets, and also of laboratory animals. The latter point gives reason for considerable problems, which are discussed in the last chapter of this article.
