Proteinase-3 mRNA expressed by glomerular epithelial cells correlates with crescent formation in Wegener's granulomatosis
2000
Proteinase-3 mRNA expressed by glomerular epithelial cells correlates with crescent formation in Wegener's granulomatosis. Background Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is characterized by systemic vasculitis with crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN) and circulating autoantibodies directed against neutrophil cytoplasmic antigens (ANCA). Proteinase 3 (PR-3), a neutral serine proteinase in neutrophils implicated in the growth control of myeloid cells, has been identified as the target antigen for ANCA in WG. Since the kidneys are frequently involved in WG, we studied the in situ expression of PR-3 by renal parenchymal cells. Methods We assessed the expression of PR-3 in kidney biopsies of 15 patien…
Depression in the community: a comparison of treated and non-treated cases in two non-referred samples.
1992
Family studies in non-patient samples may help to clarify whether or not treatment-seeking behaviour is substantially determined by clinical features of depression. Life-time risks of depression were investigated by structured clinical interviews (SADS-LA) in both a high-risk sample of depressed patients' first-degree relatives and an unscreened control sample of the general population: 34.6% of the high-risk sample versus 23.1% of controls were cases of depression, with a female preponderance in both groups. The rates of treated depression were 17.0% versus 8.5%. Female sex, greater age, higher severity of episodes, manic or hypomanic episodes recurrent course, and introverted and anancast…
Treatment and its side effects in ANCA-associated vasculitides - Study based on POLVAS registry data.
2020
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study is to present the treatment modalities and associated side effects in a Polish nation-wide ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV) patients’ cohort. Materials and methods Retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with AAV between 1990 and 2016, included in the POLVAS registry was performed. Standard descriptive statistic methods were used with an emphasis on the treatment modalities. Results There were 625 patients diagnosed with AAV included in this study: 417 cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA; 66.7%), 106 cases of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA; 17.0%) and 102 cases of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA; 16.3%). The mean ag…

Teaching Physical Education in English using CLIL Methodology: A Critical Perspective
2015
Abstract Relatively little research has been carried out in Europe on teaching Physical Education (PE) in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) using the CLIL method. Although CLIL is widely used throughout Europe, the PE content is often limited merely to technical-practical skills without any significant links to a socio-cultural context, critical thinking and/or knowledge acquisition. The aim of this study is to integrate CLIL with the epistemological perspective of critical pedagogy applied to physical education (Kirk, 2014). A theoretical “deconstructive” method will be used to provide guidelines for teaching physical education through CLIL. A cultural content based on language, culture and…

Architettura e Costruzione nella Palermo tra le due Guerre. Tre edifici pubblici emblematici
2012
Attraverso l’esame di tre edifici pubblici realizzati a Palermo tra le due guerre il libro ricerca i prodromi della cultura architettonica moderna, diffusasi nel capoluogo siciliano sulla scia delle sperimentazioni formali e funzionali delle architetture di primo Novecento ispirate alle opere di Ernesto Basile e Damiani Almeyda. Il contributo innovativo apportato dalla nuove tecniche costruttive legate all’uso di nuovi materiali –quali il cemento armato- viene messo in evidenza attraverso lo studio delle vicende costruttive dei tre edifici che si pongono come esemplificative di un modus operandi oscillante tra “regola d’arte” e tecnologie “moderne”. L’analisi condotta sul corpo delle fabbri…

Abusiva attività bancaria, procedimento ex artt. 132-bis t.u.b. e 2409 cod. civ. e fallimento
2004
L'A., nel commentare il decreto in rassegna, si sofferma dapprima sull'applicabilità del combinato disposto degli artt. 132 bis t.u. bancario e 2409 c.c. ad una società che eserciti abusivamente l'attività bancaria, escludendo che essa, pure iscritta nel registro delle imprese, possa inserirsi nell'ordinamento di settore bancario senza la necessaria autorizzazione della Banca d'Italia. L'A. si sofferma quindi su un altro aspetto del decreto in commento, secondo cui all'impresa in stato di insolvenza che svolga attività bancaria senza autorizzazione della Banca d'Italia non si applica la disciplina relativa alla liquidazione coatta amministrativa delle banche bensì quella ordinaria di fallim…
La autopsia blanca
2004
En Patología Forense, frecuentemente nos encontramos con autopsias de muertes súbitas en las que se observan lesiones inespecíficas (edema pulmonar y/o cerebral) como únicos hallazgos macroscópicos y en ocasiones también microscópicos. La información clínica suele ser escasa, la muerte normalmente ocurre sin testigos y el lugar del levantamiento aporta pocos datos orientativos. Nos encontramos, en principio, ante la llamada incorrectamente «autopsia blanca». En estos casos, es imprescindible descartar la participación de tóxicos o trastornos electrolíticos, así como estar familiarizados con todas aquellas patologías que puedan cursar con una muerte súbita. La casuística en este tipo de muer…
