Pittura del XIX e del XX secolo nel segno del collezionismo siciliano

2020

Il volume offre una ricognizione sul collezionismo in Sicilia e prende in esame, per la prima volta nella sua interezza, una collezione privata proponendo la riscoperta di opere di autori rappresentativi della cultura figurativa italiana del XIX e del XX secolo, tra cui Michele Catti, Ettore De Maria Bergler, Onofrio Tomaselli, Pippo Rizzo, Alfonso Amorelli e Pina Calì. La collezione privilegia la pittura dell’isola ma include anche il pittore non siciliano Giuseppe Amisani e la coppia di bronzi di Antonio Ugo e trova nelle opere "Costumi" di Salvatore Lo Forte del 1839 e "Sogno del carabiniere" di Pippo Rizzo degli anni ’50 i propri limiti cronologici. Questa raccolta privata, per lo più i…

Actuality of Art Education at the Beginning of XX Century in East Europe. Graphic Constructions Through Gestaltung and Formenlehre in Figurative Crea…

2018

The great innovations in the field of the elaboration of forms and figures in the last century have often sometimes accompanied the amazement and optimism of the discovery, a methodological uncertainty shared with other fields of Knowledge. It is undeniable that the advent of information technology and representation—together with the socio-economic changes that have taken place—has laid the foundations for an irreversible ontological leap in the process of form processing, and yet very often there are references historians that can somehow inspire current theories and practices. In this sense, some interpretations considered to be classical, from Valery to Benjamin, from Arnheim to Waburg,…

Parkinson's disease and segmental coordination during modified figure of eight walking turning task

2016

Turning while walking is problematic for individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We hypothesized there would be instability and turning difficulty for the PD subjects while performing a complex motor skill task of the modified figure of eight (MFE) walking task. There were 26 subjects (10 males and 16 females) with clinical diagnosis of “idiopathic” PD and undergoing L-dopa treatment participating in this study. The PD subjects performed the clinical balance modified figure of eight (MFE) test. The 3-D positions of the head, trunk and pelvis were recorded and analyzed. The angular displacement and angular velocity of the head, trunk and pelvis were calculated. Counter-clockwise and clock…

Assessment of proliferative activity in breast cancer: MIB-1 immunohistochemistry versus mitotic figure count.

1999

Abstract The proliferative activity is one of the most important single prognostic parameters in breast cancer diagnosis and the time-honored measure of proliferative activity, the mitotic figure count, is an integral component of most combined prognostic scores. The detection of the cell cycle-specific antigens Ki-67, and the development of anti-Ki-67 antibodies, including the paraffin-reactive antibody MIB-1, have established immunohistochemical detection of cell cycle-specific antigens as a measure of proliferative activity in breast cancer diagnosis. The current study was performed to correlate mitotic figure counts with the proliferative activity as assessed by MIB-1 immunohistochemist…

Mitotic figure counts are significantly overestimated in resection specimens of invasive breast carcinomas.

2013

Several authors have demonstrated an increased number of mitotic figures in breast cancer resection specimen when compared with biopsy material. This has been ascribed to a sampling artifact where biopsies are (i) either too small to allow formal mitotic figure counting or (ii) not necessarily taken form the proliferating tumor periphery. Herein, we propose a different explanation for this phenomenon. Biopsy and resection material of 52 invasive ductal carcinomas was studied. We counted mitotic figures in 10 representative high power fields and quantified MIB-1 immunohistochemistry by visual estimation, counting and image analysis. We found that mitotic figures were elevated by more than th…

Left but not right temporal involvement in opaque idiom comprehension: a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation study

2004

Abstract It has been suggested that figurative language, which includes idioms, is controlled by the right hemisphere. We tested the right hemisphere hypothesis by using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to transiently disrupt the function of the frontal and temporal areas of the right versus left hemisphere in a group of normal participants involved in a task of opaque idiom versus literal sentence comprehension. Forty opaque, nonambiguous idioms were selected. Fifteen young healthy participants underwent rTMS in two sessions. The experiment was run in five blocks, corresponding to the four stimulated scalp positions (left frontal and temporal and right frontal and tempor…
