High-Speed Video Microscopy for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Diagnosis: A Study of Ciliary Motility Variations with Time and Temperature
2021
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4418/11/7/1301 Este artículo de investigación pertenece al número especial "Progress in Diagnosing and Managing Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia". Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disease resulting from a defect in ciliary function that generates, among other issues, chronic upper and lower respiratory tract infections. European guidelines recommend studying ciliary function (pattern (CBP) and frequency (CBF)), together with characteristic clinical symptoms, as one of the definitive tests. However, there is no “gold standard”. The present study aims to use high-speed video microscopy to describe how CBF…
A 35-year effective treatment of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia with propafenone
2018
Key Teaching Points • Despite proven catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) with pathogen RyR2 mutation and recurrent syncope, patients could have a favorable long-term outcome over 35 years under treatment. • Propafenone could be effective for treatment of patients with CPVT. • The beneficial effect of the monotherapy with propafenone in our patient may result from the combined antiarrhythmic effect of this drug with Na+ channel blockade and beta blocker capabilities.
Intraoral soft tissue lipomas: clinicopathological features from 91 cases diagnosed in a single Oral Pathology service.
2020
Background intraoral soft tissue lipomas are relatively uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms. Few papers have been published comparing the clinicopathological features of these tumors in different populations. The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinicopathological features from intraoral soft tissue lipomas diagnosed in a Brazilian population. Material and Methods all cases diagnosed as intraoral soft tissue lipomas in an Oral Pathology laboratory from 2005 to 2019 were retrieved and descriptively analyzed; statistical analysis was performed for comparison of the clinical and demographic parameters. Results 91 intraoral lipomas were retrieved, including 56 lipomas, 30 fibrolipomas, 2…
Dual channel photoplethysmography studies of cardio-vascular response to the body position changes
2005
The dual-channel photoplethysmography studies of physiological responses during 3-stage orthostatic test were performed. Clear differences in heartbeat rate, pulse wave transit time and blood pressure variations of healthy volunteers and diabetic patients have been observed.

Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is becoming one of the future potential leading risk factors for heart and cardiovascular disease. MetS relates to a condition associated with at least three metabolic risk factors raising risk for health diseases concomitantly such as diabetes, stroke, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. This can lead to chest pain, heart attack, heart damage and overall higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. One of the underlying mechanisms of the progressive remodeling in presence of MetS components could be altered automaticity, which would reflect modifications of sinus node activity. These phenomena c…
Metodi Chemiometrici per la sintesi razionale di Nanowires di ZnO per l'elettronica su Circuiti
2019
I nanowires di ZnO (ZnO NWs) rappresentano uno dei materiali 1D di maggiore interesse per lo sviluppo di sensori e/o trasduttori, date le loro ot time proprietà piezoelettriche e semiconduttive1 . Tuttavia, la sintesi chimica di ZnO NWs ad alto “aspect ratio” da soluzione acquosa a basse temperature stemi elettronici completi. Recentemente abbiamo sviluppato2 un metodo per il controllo razionale della sintesi di nanowires di ZnO (Figura 1) su supporti conduttivi in rame per la realizzazione di nanotrasduttori...

Happiness is... a good transcription : reconsidering the Beatles sheet music publications
2006
Hankkiessaan Beatles-nuotinnoksen käsiinsä ei kuluttajalla välttämättä ole ollenkaan käsitystä siitä, minkä tasoinen kulloinenkin nuotinnos on, eli kuinka luotettava se on verrattuna alkuperäiseen lähteeseen eli levyyn. Musiikin käyttäjälle olisi varmasti paljon hyötyä ja iloa siitä, jos nuotit vastaisivat paremmin levyjä – valitettavasti vain julkaistut nuotinnokset ovat suurelta osin puutteellisia ja jättäneet paljon toivomisen varaa. Myös maailmalla erittäin paljon myydyn ja tunnetun ”The Beatles Complete Scoresin” transkriptiot ovat monelta osin kaukana siitä mitä levyillä todellisuudessa on. Nuottien kustantaminen on yhä edelleenkin suurta bisnestä, mutta sitä ei ole kuitenkaan jostain…
Story beats in videogames as value-driven choice-based unit operations
2021
We present a framework of story beats, defined as microunits of dramatic action, as a tool for the ludonarrative analysis of videogames. First, we explain the Goal - Action - Reaction - Outcome model of the story beat. Then, we present six types of story beats, Action, Interaction, Inaction, Mental, Emotion, and Sensory, providing videogame examples for each category. In the second half of the paper, we contextualise this framework in the classic game studies theory of videogame narrative and player action: unit operations, gamic action, anatomy of choice, and game design patterns, wrapping it up in the most recent trends in cognitive narratology. Ultimately, we present the story beat as a …
