Data from: Maternal antibodies contribute to sex based difference in hantavirus transmission dynamics
2014
Individuals often differ in their ability to transmit disease and identifying key individuals for transmission is a major issue in epidemiology. Male hosts are often thought to be more important than females for parasite transmission and persistence. However, the role of infectious females, particularly the transient immunity provided to offspring through maternal antibodies (MatAbs), has been neglected in discussions about sex-biased infection transmission. We examined the effect of host sex upon infection dynamics of zoonotic Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) in semi-natural, experimental populations of bank vole (Myodes glareolus). Populations were founded with either females or males that were …

Serotonin transporter gene polymorphism in eating disorders: Data from a new biobank and META-analysis of previous studies.
2016
Objectives Growing interest focuses on the association between 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and eating disorders (ED), but published findings have been conflicting. Methods The Italian BIO.VE.D.A. biobank provided 976 samples (735 ED patients and 241 controls) for genotyping. We conducted a literature search of studies published up to 1 April 2015, including studies reporting on 5HTTLPR genotype and allele frequencies in obesity and/or ED. We ran a meta-analysis, including data from BIO.VE.D.A. – comparing low and high-functioning genotype and allele frequencies in ED vs. controls. Results Data from 21 studies, plus BIO.VE.D.A., were extracted providing information from 3,736 patients and 2,707 co…
Personalised Medicine in National Cancer Plans: How Can Innovation Be Translated Into Policy?
2014
ABSTRACT Stratified, precision or personalised medicine (PM) is emerging as one of the most important areas of clinical innovation in cancer care. Yet, implementing policies to translate these innovations to practice entails deep changes, including in how patient information is treated, how funding is allocated, how diagnostic tests are validated and carried out, how care is organised, how clinical trials are conducted and how new drugs are approved. National Cancer Control Programmes (NCCPs), for their part, have emerged as the primary instrument to coordinate the range of cancer control policies within individual countries, and virtually all European countries have adopted one. This means…
The Secretion of Areolar (Montgomery's) Glands from Lactating Women Elicits Selective, Unconditional Responses in Neonates
2009
Background The communicative meaning of human areolae for newborn infants was examined here in directly exposing 3-day old neonates to the secretion from the areolar glands of Montgomery donated by non related, non familiar lactating women. Methodology/Principal Findings The effect of the areolar stimulus on the infants' behavior and autonomic nervous system was compared to that of seven reference stimuli originating either from human or non human mammalian sources, or from an arbitrarily-chosen artificial odorant. The odor of the native areolar secretion intensified more than all other stimuli the infants' inspiratory activity and appetitive oral responses. These responses appeared to deve…

Le scelte strategiche ed operative delle banche locali nelle regioni dei distretti tecnologici italiani alla luce della crisi finanziaria internazion…
2011
Questo lavoro di ricerca si inserisce nell’ambito degli studi sui sistemi regionali di innovazione ed in particolare cerca di approfondire il ruolo che la finanza innovativa può esercitare nei distretti tecnologici. La natura intangibile dei fattori di sviluppo dei distretti tecnologici e la mancanza di asset fisici per garantire linee di credito richiedono necessariamente una trasformazione delle tradizionali fonti di finanziamento delle imprese distrettuali. Gli asset intangibili comportano un incremento delle asimmetrie informative nel rapporto banca-impresa e di conseguenza la necessità di ricercare nuove tecniche finanziarie capaci di garantire una copertura adeguata dei maggiori risch…

Evaluation de l'impact d'un futur remblai de la ligne à Grande Vitesse Est Européenne sur le risque de gel dans le vignoble de Champagne
2002
In order to evaluate for the vineyard, the additional risk of freezing, which could be generated by a railway embankment of the High Speed Line (TGV «Paris-Strasbourg») a canvas cover of the future embankment (length 480 m, height 3 m maxi) was drawn up in the bottom of a wineyard slope. Measurements of Actinothermal Index (AI) Temperatures, at the height of the bud (at 50 cm of the surface) and measurements of of cold air windslopes, were carried out on a microclimatic scale. We recorded 19 points of measurements, without then with the presence of the canvas cover, for the nights characterized by a radiative cooling (wind £ 2m.s-2, clear sky) during spring 2001. The possible incidence of t…
