Type II Odontoid Fracture: a case series highlighting the treatment strategies
2019
Background: A type II odontoid fracture, if unstable, can cause spinal cord damage. In this case, it is essential to choose the correct treatment—but the issues of what the correct treatment is and which of the different surgical options is best are quite controversial. In this paper we present strategies for treatment of type II odontoid fracture. Materials and Methods: Thirty consecutive cases of type II odontoid fracture were treated at the Division of Neurosurgery at Villa Sofia Hospital in Palermo (23 cases) and at the Neurosurgical Clinic, University Hospital of Palermo (seven cases), from January 2011 to August 2016. Four patients were treated with external immobilization. Twenty-six…
NMR structure of a non-conjugatable, ADP-ribosylation associated, ubiquitin-like domain from Tetrahymena thermophila polyubiquitin locus.
2019
Abstract Background Ubiquitin-like domains (UbLs), in addition to being post-translationally conjugated to the target through the E1-E2-E3 enzymatic cascade, can be translated as a part of the protein they ought to regulate. As integral UbLs coexist with the rest of the protein, their structural properties can differ from canonical ubiquitin, depending on the protein context and how they interact with it. In this work, we investigate T.th-ubl5, a UbL present in a polyubiquitin locus of Tetrahymena thermophila, which is integral to an ADP-ribosyl transferase protein. Only one other co-occurrence of these two domains within the same protein has been reported. Methods NMR, multiple sequence al…

The fifteenth-century Catalan translation of the French "Danse macabre": A critical edition and English translation, from manuscript Miscel·lània 26,…
2015
The present article focuses on ff. cxlr-cviiir of the manuscript Miscel?lània 26, Arxiu de la Corona d’Aragó, Barcelona, which contain the only extant version of the fifteenth-century Catalan translation of the French Danse macabre. The article contains a philological study of this section of the manuscript, with particular attention to the relationship between the Catalan version of the Danse macabre and its French sources: this study serves as an introduction to a new critical edition of the Catalan translation proposed in the second part of the article. The critical text consists of a parallel edition of the Catalan version and manuscript lat. 14904, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Par…

Una escultura de José Esteve Bonet en La Orotava (Tenerife)
2020
En septiembre de 1784 el escultor José Esteve Bonet concluía una imagen de Santa Catalina de Siena que fue remitida a la isla de Tenerife semanas después, gracias a la mediación del canónigo de Xátiva Miguel Lobera. De ese destino, el responsable del ajuste, el dinero pagado por ella y las cualidades que mostraba como pieza vestidera hay constancia en un apunte que incluye el diario o Libro de la Verdad, documento de vital importancia a la hora de conocer la actividad de su taller entre 1762 y 1802. En este artículo proponemos la identificación de dicha obra con una escultura transformada y alterada en lo iconográfico, que forma parte del patrimonio acumulado durante el siglo XIX por la act…
Prótesis auditiva osteointegrada “BAHA” : evaluación de los resultados con diferentes técnicas de colgajo
2012
INTRODUCCION La primera prótesis BAHA se coloca en 1.977, con idea de conseguir una mejora auditiva, aprovechando la transmisión ósea directa. La inseguridad inicial motivada por los posibles fallos en los resultados tanto de integración ósea como funcionales se fueron venciendo con el paso del tiempo a la vez que fueron disminuyendo las complicaciones quirúrgicas observadas. La integración ósea de un material inerte como el titanio, supuso muchos estudios histológicos, de biocompatibilidad, de parámetros como duración o tiempo necesario para una buena integración, o de espesor y calidad de hueso imprescindible. Tras obtener progresivamente mejores resultados funcionales, aumentó el grado d…

Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Introduction: Physical activity is well documented as an important factor for good health. There are however some people who train far beyond the national recommendations for 6 physical activity combined with work and family life. The research done on «high volume exercisers» is limited, specially the health variables. Objective: The purpose with this master paper is to investigate if high volume exercise is healthy. By identifying different health variable it may point to how the body responds to high training volume. Method: 41 male high volume exercises (18 to 50 years) were included in this cross-sectional study. The compila…
Theoretical study on the effect of backbone conformation on the electronic structure of poly(di-n-butylsilane)
1993
Abstract We present the results of valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) calculations on the electronic structure of poly(di-n-butylsilane) in its all-trans and 7/3 conformations. The band structure of all-trans conformation is analyzed in detail and the effects of the backbone conformation on the electronic and optical properties are studied. The VEH results for the 2/1 and 7/3 conformations are in excellent quantitative agreement with photoemission and UV-absorption data and show the reliability of the VEH method to deal with organopolysilanes.
