Case series of fluoroscopic findings and 3D reconstruction of human spinal MRIs of the space of Okada.
2020
Objective To better understand the unexpected spread of contrast medium observed by conventional fluoroscopic X-ray images during standard neuraxial techniques used in the treatment of pain. The support of 3D reconstruction of MRI images of structures within the lumbar spine was used to better understand the space of Okada. Methods Lumbar facet joint and epidural corticosteroid injections in five patients under fluoroscopic guidance with loss of resistance to air or saline to identify the facet joints or epidural space. Next, in a retrospective study, the authors examined the retrodural space of Okada and the neighboring tissues with 3D reconstruction of spinal MRIs of seven patients withou…
Rac1-Regulated Endothelial Radiation Response Stimulates Extravasation and Metastasis That Can Be Blocked by HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors
2011
Radiotherapy (RT) plays a key role in cancer treatment. Although the benefit of ionizing radiation (IR) is well established, some findings raise the possibility that irradiation of the primary tumor not only triggers a killing response but also increases the metastatic potential of surviving tumor cells. Here we addressed the question of whether irradiation of normal cells outside of the primary tumor augments metastasis by stimulating the extravasation of circulating tumor cells. We show that IR exposure of human endothelial cells (EC), tumor cells (TC) or both increases TC-EC adhesion in vitro. IR-stimulated TC-EC adhesion was blocked by the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor lovastatin. Glycyrr…
Tasatyönnön taloudellisuus maastohiihdossa submaksimaalisella nopeudella
2008
Aiemmissa tutkimuksissa maastohiihdon tasatyönnön kinematiikasta on löytynyt erilaisiatasatyöntöstrategioita. Eräs aiempi tutkimus jaotteli tasatyöntötekniikat leveät kyynärpäät –ja kapeat kyynärpäät – tekniikkoihin perustuen tekniikoiden erilaisiin ominaispiirteisiin.Kyseisessä tutkimuksessa havaittiin myös, että leveät kyynärpäät – tekniikallavoimantuotto oli suurempaa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan aerobista taloudellisuuttakahdella maastohiihdon tasatyönnön tekniikalla submaksimaalisella nopeudellatasatyöntöergometrillä. Taloudellisuus voidaan määrittää hapenkulutuksesta suorituksenaikana, edellyttäen, että energiaa tuotetaan aerobisesti.Tutkimuksen koehenkilöinä oli 6 maastohiihtot…
Adaptació del coeficient de GINI per a la formulació d'un coeficient de desigualtat lingüística
2020
El text adapta el Coeficient de Gini per elaborar un Coeficient de Desigualtat Lingüística (CDL) i aplicar-lo al cas valencià, tenint en compte les Taxes de Competència i les Taxes d?Ús. Es desenvolupen dos models, un basat en corbes parabòliques i un altre basat en corbes exponencials per al cas de disposar d?una parella de dades (x,y). Es calculen els Coeficients de Desigualtat Lingüística en ambdós casos per a les regions sociolingüístiques valencianes. Finalment es compara el resultat amb una corba general per al cas valencià
PROGETTARE L’ADATTAMENTO. Resilienze di agricoltura urbana nel contesto europeo
2022
I crescenti fenomeni legati al cambiamento climatico spingono le città a sviluppare piani di resilienza che possano rispondere in termini di sostenibilità ambientale, sociale ed economica. Le strategie nature-based possono rappresentare una soluzione; tra queste l’agricoltura urbana può contribuire ad aumentare la resilienza dei tessuti urbani europei. Questa attività è stata più volte oggetto di interesse in periodi di crisi come impegno comunitario dai caratteri sociali, oltre che produttivi ed educativi. Attraverso un excursus storico e una successiva analisi di casi studio contemporanei, il paper fornisce strumenti progettuali per intervenire nel costruito con strategie che spaziano dal…
Hothousing: Utilising industry collaborative problem-solving practices for STEAM in schools
2022
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been widely used in both industry and in schools over at least the last twenty years. The Industry Hothousing variant of CPS in its adult format is an intensive, time-constrained workshop based process designed to build mutual trust between customers and industry experts in order to synergically develop creative solutions together. Its potential use in schools raises two important questions: Firstly, what degree of structure and support is required to unleash student creativity and enhance learning - as in industry or does the student need more structured methods including explicitly being taught collaborative problem solving skills? Secondly, is CPS …
