Is Persistent Thick Copious Mucus a Long-Term Symptom of COVID-19?
2020
Introduction The typical clinical picture of COVID-19 is gradually becoming clearer, both in the acute phase and in the long-term. However, new symptoms are gradually being identified. We describe a long-term symptom that has not yet been reported. Case description A 49-year-old man consulted for persistent asthenia. The general practitioner found a fever (39.2°C), and COVID-19 was confirmed by the polymerase chain reaction test. Further symptoms appeared, notably thick, white, painless tracheal hypersecretion for 3 months before diminishing, without disappearing. Conclusion Non-inflammatory tracheal hypersecretion, not yet reported in COVID-19, may be an additional long-term symptom. The h…
Consensus on nomenclature for clinical staging models in bipolar disorder: A narrative review from the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (I…
2021
Objectives Clinical staging is widely used in medicine to map disease progression, inform prognosis and guide treatment decisions; in psychiatry, however, staging remains a hypothetical construct. To facilitate future research in bipolar disorders (BD), a well-defined nomenclature is needed, especially since diagnosis is often imprecise with blurred boundaries, and a full understanding of pathophysiology is lacking. Methods Under the auspices of the International Society of Bipolar Disorders, a Task Force of international experts was convened to review, discuss, and integrate findings from the scientific literature relevant to the development of a consensus staging model and standardize a t…
Isolated Pediatric Intramedullary Schwannoma: Case Report and Review of Literature
2018
Background: Intramedullary (IM) schwannomas are rare entities representing 0.3%−1% of intramedullary tumors and 1.1% of spinal schwannomas. Beside many theories proposed, their rare occurrence might be related to the absence of Schwann cells in the spinal cord. Pediatric IM schwannomas are uncommon, and in the absence of neurofibromatosis they are extremely rare. To date, few cases have been reported in the literature. Case Description: We describe the case of an 8-year-old female affected by a progressive paraparesis. Neuroradiologic investigations showed an oval-shaped mass at the level of T10-T11. The patient underwent surgery, performed under neurophysiologic monitoring. The patient was…
Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation: Laparoscopic Splenectomy as Therapeutic and Diagnostic Approach at the Same Time
2018
Introduction. Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is a rare benign vascular lesion with unknown etiopathogenesis and with definite features of imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. It was first described by Martel et al. in 2004, and to date, only 151 cases have been reported.Case Description. We report a case of SANT of the spleen detected in a 66-year-old Caucasian, without comorbidities, presented to our department with epigastric pain. We, also, presented a review of the literature.Conclusions. SANT is a benign incidentally vascular condition in the majority of cases. The wide age and gender distribution in our review is in accordance with tha…
Manuale di linguistica ladina
2020
This volume is the first comprehensive handbook on Ladin linguistics. Ladin ("ladino brissino-tirolese" in Italian) is a group of varieties belonging to Rhaeto-Romance and spoken in North-eastern Italy. The volume consists of 18 chapters divided into three sections: 1. history and description of the internal linguistic properties of the Ladin varieties; 2. sociolinguistics and normalisation processes of Ladin; 3. tools for documenting and studying the Ladin varieties. Since this is the first handbook entirely dedicated to this language group, it aims both at a description that covers all the traditional topics and at an overview of the most recent approaches to the study and the preservatio…

Liikunnanopettajaksi vuosina 1984 - 2004 valmistuneiden työtyytyväisyys
2012
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää liikunnanopettajiksi vuosina 1984–2004 valmistuneiden työtyytyväisyyttä ja siihen vaikuttavia tekijöitä. Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 621 liikunnanopettajan ammatissa toimivaa henkilöä (naisia 326, miehiä 295). Tutkimus suoritettiin strukturoiduilla kyselylomakkeilla vastavalmistuneille liikunnanopettajille vuonna 2008 sekä kokeneemmille liikunnanopettajille vuonna 2009. Tutkimusaineiston analysointiin käytettiin t-testiä sekä yksi- ja kaksisuuntaista varianssianalyysia. Pääkomponenttianalyysinn avulla työtyytyväisyyttä muodostavat tekijät luokiteltiin kuuteen eri komponenttiin. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittivat, että 80 prosenttia liikunnanopettaji…
Polʹskie i russkie hristianskie èortonimy v perevodčeskom i leksikografičeskom aspekte
2021
The study of religious language in modern linguistics has opened up opportunities for various kinds of research. The object of the study is the religious vocabulary as an integral part of the religious language, which can function in various ways. Russian and Polish Christian eortonyms translation, single - and bilingual general and specialized dictionaries of Polish and Russian religious vocabulary, and works on religious language were used as the research material. Attention is drawn to the need for further research not only of the "Orthodox version" of Polish, but also of the practically unexplored "Catholic version" of the Russian religious language, since the meanings of eortonyms are …
O nowej syntezie rozwoju polszczyzny na Śląsku
2018
The progress of historical research, new interpretation of socio-political events and cultural changes form new premises dissertating for the necessity of creating a new synthesis of the history of the Polish language in Silesia. Thus far noted compendia do not clarify the historical background of the modem linguistic changes taking place in contemporary Silesia. In the article, the author presented the basie methodological assumptions of the proponed synthesis. Description of the issues should focus on two axes. The first one is the evolution of the normalized polish language that is settled in official usage and Silesian writing. This variation is characterized by canon import, system and…
Il primo concorso per il Palazzo di Giustizia a Roma del 1884. Ricostruzione critica del progetto di Ernesto Basile
2019
1. Breve descrizione dell’oggetto di studio Il concorso del Palazzo di Giustizia di Roma si svolge in quattro fasi svolte tra il 1884 e il 1887. Il progetto per il primo concorso, del 1884, redatto dall’allora giovanissimo Ernesto Basile (Palermo 1857-1932), rivela una grande perizia progettuale che trasforma il complesso programma funzionale in un austero edificio in stile neofiorentino. I disegni originari dell’opera, non realizzata, conservati presso la Dotazione Basile del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo, sono stati oggetto di studio propedeutico alle fasi di analisi, interpretazione e ricostruzione congetturale del modello digitale. 2. Stato dell’arte e riferime…
