Non-coding RNAs and other determinants of neuroinflammation and endothelial dysfunction: regulation of gene expression in the acute phase of ischemic…
2021
Ischemic stroke occurs under a variety of clinical conditions and has different pathogeneses, resulting in necrosis of brain parenchyma. Stroke pathogenesis is characterized by neuroinflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Some of the main processes triggered in the early stages of ischemic damage are the rapid activation of resident inflammatory cells (microglia, astrocytes and endothelial cells), inflammatory cytokines, and translocation of intercellular nuclear factors. Inflammation in stroke includes all the processes mentioned above, and it consists of either protective or detrimental effects concerning the “polarization” of these processes. This polarization comes out from the intera…
Ketogenic diet, physical activity, and hypertension—a narrative review
2021
Several studies link cardiovascular diseases (CVD) with unhealthy lifestyles (unhealthy dietary habits, alcohol consumption, smoking, and low levels of physical activity). Therefore, the strong need for CVD prevention may be pursued through an improved control of CVD risk factors (impaired lipid and glycemic profiles, high blood pressure, and obesity), which is achievable through an overall intervention aimed to favor a healthy lifestyle. Focusing on diet, different recommendations emphasize the need to increase or avoid consumption of entire classes of food, with only partly known and only partly foreseeable consequences on the overall level of health. In recent years, the ketogenic diet (…
Intratympanic treatment with dexamethasone as first-line or salvage therapy in sudden sensorineural hearing loss: Results of a retrospective study
2014
Aim: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a condition of emergency in Otolaryngology. Although there is no universally accepted treatment protocol, corticosteroids, intravenous and oral, are the most common treatment The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intratympanic administration of dexamethasone as first line therapy, or as a rescue therapy after treatment with systemic steroids in patients not responders. Methods: The population, consisting of 85 patients referred to our unit from January 2010 to December 2013, was divided into two groups according to the treatment protocol performed. We also analyzed possible variables that may affect the response to treatment such …
APPROCCIO CLINICO E RIABILITATIVO AL PAZIENTE PROTESIZZATO D'ARTO INFERIORE
2008
Nella chirurgia sostitutiva protesica, ripercorrendo le tappe riabilitative e analizzandone le modalità e le tecniche, si evince che è possibile permettere al paziente il riapprendimento della corretta deambulazione con la riorganizzazione di tutte le fasi e della gestualità corrente per il reinserimento efficace nel contesto sociale di appartenenza. Oltre che dal punto di vista puramente motorio, il soggetto deve essere seguito anche sotto l’aspetto della psicomotricità e nel rispetto di importanti esigenze psicologiche. Viene sorretto, incoraggiato, ma soprattutto responsabilizzato sul fatto che per la ripresa completa si rende indispensabile la sua partecipazione attiva e la costanza del…
Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: laser CO2 vs intra-articular injections
2012
Analysis of our data shows that the functional rehabilitation associated with the CO2 laser causes a greater reduction in pain, better recovery of joint ROM and increase in muscle strength compared to treatment associated with injections of corticosteriods
Algodystrophy of the hand: innovation therapeutical, pharmacological and rehabilitative strategies
2012
An early rehabilitation program, in combination with proper medication, can prevent the worsen of the hand algo-dystrophy towards a permanent framework characterized by muscle-tendon stiffness, contractures and ankylosis of the distal small joints. We can assert, consequently, that synergy between functional rehabilitation, treatment with disodium clodronate, PEMF and Laser Nd-Yag is a main point for therapeutic efficacy
Calcium intake in the Mediterranean region
2014
A deficiency in calcium intake, is considered an important risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. Since the human body cannot produce calcium, individuals are recommended to maintain an adequate daily intake. The aim of the “Calcium Intake in the Mediterranean Region” Study is to evaluate the mean calcium intake in men and women between 40 and 80 residing in various areas of the Mediterranean basin. Enrolled subjects have been asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the mean daily calcium intake from food, principle risk factors for osteoporosis were registered. A dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has also been carried out to evaluate bone mineral de…

Il Trasferimento Energetico Capacitivo Resistivo (TECAR) nella terapia dell’Induratio Penis Plastica: studio pilota di fase uno sulla tollerabilità, …
2013
Our phase-one prospective study wants to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TECAR therapy in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. From June 2011 to September 2012 we enrolled 70 patients. Each patient had been previously subjected to andrological examination, to a questionnaire for the evaluation of IPP and ED, and the SF-36 (V1) for the evaluation of the general state of health. The evaluation of pain was made using the VAS scale of pain. Every patient was subjected to TECAR treatment of the fibrotic plaque (both in resistive mode and in capacitive mode) for a total of three sessions carried out on consecutive days. We recorded a good compliance by patients; none of them reported side…
