Il ruolo del trattamento riabilitativo nei traumi distorsivi dell’articolazione tibio - peroneo - astragalica

2005

Nello studio della traumatologia da sport, interesse meritano le lesioni del collo del piede, dovuta a molteplici e differenti sollecitazioni dinamiche alle quali viene sottopsota l'articolazione tibio- tarsica, in conseguenza del carettere esplosivo dei movimeni in particolari circostanze. Il livello di controllo posturale rappresenta la cartina di tornasole della stabilità funzionale dell'arto inferiore. Per avere articolazioni stabili serve una buona stabilità statica e dinamica, altrimenti avremo come conseguenza alto rischio di lesioni articolari e muscolari, riduzione della potenza esprimibile, gesto tecnico disturbato da movimenti parassiti di compenso, aumento del dispendio energeti…

Realizing women´s right to maternal health: A study of awareness of rights and utilization of maternal health services among reproductive age women i…

2019

BackgroundMaternal mortality rates are still unacceptably high in many countries, indicating violation of women´s human right to life and health. Access to adequate information about maternal health rights and available services are essential aspects of realizing women´s right to accessible health care. This study aimed at assessing awareness of the right to access maternal health services among women who had recently given birth, and the association between such awareness and the utilization of maternal health services in two districts in Tanzania.MethodsThis study was cross sectional in design. Interviews were conducted with women who gave birth within one year prior to the survey in two …

In vivo Antimicrobial Activity Assessment of a Cauliflower By-Product Extract Against Salmonella Typhimurium

2020

The main objective of this work was to study the antimicrobial effect of a cauliflower by-product infusion into an affordable in vivo model (Caenorhabditis elegans). The infusion demonstrated some protective effect on non-infected and infected worms with Salmonella Typhimurium as indicated by higher survival percentile values (75, 50, 25, and 5% percentiles) as compared with those from worms unexposed to the infusion. The antimicrobial effect of the infusion was evaluated on Salmonella intestinal colonization of infected worms (24, 48, and 96 h post-infection). At 96 h post-infection, the concentration of Salmonella was reduced around 2 log cycles in infected cauliflower treated group (p < …

Porous biomaterials and scaffolds for tissue engineering

2019

In the present article, an overview of the definition of tissue engineering and scaffold requirements is reported. In particular, scaffold porosity and its relevance for several tissue target regeneration is highlighted. Different scaffold fabrication techniques are reported and explained in details, highlighting advantages and disadvantages for all of these techniques, regarding the specific final applications.

Solution-Based Processing for Scaffold Fabrication in Tissue Engineering Applications: A Brief Review

2021

The fabrication of 3D scaffolds is under wide investigation in tissue engineering (TE) because of its incessant development of new advanced technologies and the improvement of traditional processes. Currently, scientific and clinical research focuses on scaffold characterization to restore the function of missing or damaged tissues. A key for suitable scaffold production is the guarantee of an interconnected porous structure that allows the cells to grow as in native tissue. The fabrication techniques should meet the appropriate requirements, including feasible reproducibility and time- and cost-effective assets. This is necessary for easy processability, which is associated with the large …

Integration of PCL and PLA in a monolithic porous scaffold for interface tissue engineering.

2016

A novel bi-layered multiphasic scaffold (BLS) have been fabricated for the first time by combining melt mixing, compression molding and particulate leaching. One layer has been composed by polylactic acid (PLA) presenting pore size in the range of 90-110µm while the other layer has been made of polycaprolactone (PCL) with pores ranging from 5 to 40µm. The different chemo-physical properties of the two biopolymers combined with the tunable pore architecture permitted to realize monolithic functionally graded scaffolds engineered to be potentially used for interface tissues regenerations. BLS have been characterized from a morphological and a mechanical point of view. In particular, mechanica…

Novel dual-flow perfusion bioreactor for in vitro pre-screening of nanoparticles delivery: design, characterization and testing

2021

An advanced dual-flow perfusion bioreactor with a simple and compact design was developed and evaluated as a potential apparatus to reduce the gap between animal testing and drug administration to human subjects in clinical trials. All the experimental tests were carried out using an ad hoc Poly Lactic Acid (PLLA) scaffold synthesized via Thermally Induced Phase Separation (TIPS). The bioreactor shows a tunable radial flow throughout the microporous matrix of the scaffold. The radial perfusion was quantified both with permeability tests and with a mathematical model, applying a combination of Darcy's Theory, Bernoulli's Equation, and Poiseuille's Law. Finally, a diffusion test allowed to in…

Risks Associated with the Use of Garcinia as a Nutritional Complement to Lose Weight

2021

Nowadays, obesity is one of the great nutritional problems facing public health. The prevalence of this pathology has increased in a worrying way over recent years, currently reaching epidemic proportions. In this context, nutritional supplements are presented as a therapeutic alternative to which more and more people are turning to. Nutritional supplements to lose weight based on the Garcinia plant, specifically on Garcinia cambogia, are commonly used. The active principle of this plant to which these properties have been attributed, is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). The aim of the present review is to gather reported data concerning the effectiveness of nutritional supplements based on Garcini…
