Terapia trans-cranica ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da Risonanza Magnetica: studio retrospettivo di semeiotica neuroradiologica intra-operatoria
2019
SCOPO DEL LAVORO: Valutare retrospettivamente le caratteristiche di semeiotica neuroradiologica delle lesioni indotte in pazienti sottoposti a talamotomia unilaterale del nucleo Vim mediante l’utilizzo di un sistema trans-cranico ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da RM (tcMRgFUS). MATERIALI E METODI: Cinquanta pazienti sono stati sottoposti a talamotomia mediante tcMRgFUS per tremore essenziale refrattario a terapia medica (n = 39) o per tremore in malattia di Parkinson (n = 11). Esaminando sequenze FRFSE T2-pesate (2mm, no gap) acquisite sia intra-operatoriamente che nel successivo follow-up RM a 48h, è stata valutata la presenza e le dimensioni delle aree lesionali concentriche precedente…
Terapia trans-cranica ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da Risonanza Magnetica (tcMRgFUS) utilizzando un sistema integrato con uno scanner RM da 1.5T…
2018
Scopo Negli ultimi anni la terapia transcranica ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da risonanza magnetica (tcMRgFUS) per il trattamento di disordini neurologici quali il tremore essenziale (ET) e il Parkinson tremorigeno (PD) è stata effettuata utilizzando esclusivamente scanner RM da 3T. Presentiamo i risultati ottenuti con il primo sistema tcMRgFUS mai integrato con uno scanner RM da 1.5T. Materiali e metodi 23 pazienti (19 ET; 4 PD) sono stati selezionati per essere sottoposti a tcMRgFUS (talamotomia monolaterale; target: nucleo ventrale intermedio, VIM). I pazienti arruolati sono stati valutati prima del trattamento e 2 giorni dopo. L'efficacia del trattamento è stata valutata utilizzand…
TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE-GUIDED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (TCMRGFUS) CON SCANNER DA 1.5T: NOTA TECNICA
2018
Scopo La terapia dei disordini neurologici mediante tcMRgFUS è stata effettuata utilizzando esclusivamente scanner RM da 3T. Utilizzando uno scanner RM da 1.5T la qualità delle sequenze morfologiche utilizzabili per la pianificazione di questi trattamenti è risultata essere soddisfacente utilizzando la bobina body RF (quella utilizzata con scanner 3T). Tuttavia l'SNR delle sequenze utilizzate per la termometria RM è risultato inferiore allo standard accettabile per i trattamenti. È stata quindi sviluppata una bobina a 2 canali per assicurare un adeguato SNR. Presentiamo il protocollo di imaging efficacemente utilizzato per eseguire procedure tcMRgFUS con il primo sistema mai integrato …
Ultraviolet A1 radiation induces nitric oxide synthase-2 expression in human skin endothelial cells in the absence of proinflammatory cytokines.
2001
Skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight causes erythema and edema formation as well as inflammatory responses. As some of these ultraviolet-induced effects are potentially mediated by nitric oxide synthases, we examined the role of cytokines and ultraviolet A 1 radiation (340–400 nm) on the expression of the nitric oxide synthase-2 in endothelia of normal human skin biopsies during short-term organ culture as well as expression and activity of the nitric oxide synthase-2 in in vitro cell cultures of human dermal endothelial cells. Both, cytokine challenge (interleukin-1β + tumor necrosis factor-α + interferon-γ) but also ultraviolet A 1 exposure (50 J per cm 2 ) in the absence …
Effects of UV Radiation and Diet on Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in the Skin, Ocular Tissue and Dorsal Muscle of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Held in…
2010
Article published in Photochemistry and Photobiology, 86 (4): 909-919 JUL-AUG 2010 The effect of UV radiation (UVR) on juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was assessed by measuring the fatty acid (FA) profiles of muscle, dorsal and ventral skin, and ocular tissues following 4-month long exposures to four different UVR treatments in outdoor rearing tanks. Fish were fed two different diets (Anchovy- and Herring-oil based) that differed in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations. Anchovy-fed salmon had higher concentrations of ALA (alpha-linoleic acid; 18:3n-3), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid; 20:5n-3) and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid, 22:5n-3) in their muscle tissues than fish fed the H…
Dataset: Growth, morphology and metabolic variables of charophytes (freshwater macroalgae) under different treatments of radiation, temperature and n…
2018
Esta base de datos contiene resultados de dos experimentos (RADxTEMP y RADxNIT) a escala de microcosmos referentes a variables de crecimiento, morfológicas, metabólicas y de composición estequiométrica de 2 especies de macroalgas de agua dulce, concretamente carófitos (Chara hispida y Chara vulgaris) procedentes de dos sistemas (el lago de Somolinos en Guadalajara y el Ullal de Quartons en Castellón), por tanto, 4 poblaciones (2 especies x 2 orígenes). En estos dos experimentos de diseño factorial, los individuos de las 4 poblaciones fueron sometidos a dos niveles de radiación, dos niveles de temperatura (RADxTEMP) y dos niveles de concentración de nitrato (RADxNIT). En esta matriz de datos…
Submerged macrophytes as key players in aquatic ecosystems under global change: a multiscale experimental approach
2020
El actual cambio global está causando alteraciones en los ecosistemas de todo el mundo a través de cambios interactivos en los principales factores ambientales (e.g. la temperatura, la concentración de nutrientes y la radiación ultravioleta). Los ecosistemas acuáticos continentales son altamente vulnerables ante estos cambios y, específicamente, en la región mediterránea, la situación es peor ya que la mayoría de estos sistemas son someros y están expuestos a las perturbaciones ambientales y antrópicas. Las praderas de macrófitos sumergidos y, particularmente, los carófitos, son un elemento conspicuo de estos sistemas con un papel fundamental en su funcionamiento. Estos organismos proveen d…

Remarks on negative interest rates
2016
Negative nominal interest rates have been observed in several segments of financial markets. Being only partly a result of supply and demand and mainly enforced by the central banks, negative interest rates are getting more and more popular. While it is relatively easy to identify the reasons for this quite strange phenomenon, the con-sequences, especially the long-term consequences, are not too clear for both scientists and ordinary observers. This paper is an attempt to formulate some remarks on causes, evidence, and possible effects of negative interest rates. A warning is issued, with respect to monetary policy and financial stability.
Rural Population in Romania. Development and Tendencies (2000 – 2010)
2013
Abstract Demography is among the top factors which exert an undeniable influence upon the economic environment. Therefore, the populace - through its dynamics and characteristics - leaves an imprint upon the social and economic landscape, being a keen barometer and contributing to economic progress. The relationship demography-economy is extremely tight, since the populace is perceived as being a true representation of what characterizes our economy. Romania originated as a country with an agriculture-based economy – a fact which translated in its major rural population; nowadays, due to a sum of various developments, the rural populace is undergoing a decreasing trend. The situation is all…
