Toxicity and Binding Studies of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac, Cry1F, Cry1C, and Cry2A Proteins in the Soybean Pests Anticarsia gemmatalis and Chryso…

2017

ABSTRACT Anticarsia gemmatalis (velvetbean caterpillar) and Chrysodeixis includens (soybean looper, formerly named Pseudoplusia includens ) are two important defoliating insects of soybeans. Both lepidopteran pests are controlled mainly with synthetic insecticides. Alternative control strategies, such as biopesticides based on the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins or transgenic plants expressing Bt toxins, can be used and are increasingly being adopted. Studies on the insect susceptibilities and modes of action of the different Bt toxins are crucial to determine management strategies to control the pests and to delay outbreaks of insect resistance. In the present study, the susceptibilitie…

Arte, Música y Conceptualismo en América Latina

2021

Se investiga la relación entre el arte y la música desde el conceptualismo, que valida la existencia de un arte sonoro y de una música conceptuales, cuyas estéticas se alejan de la percepción coclear, para enfocarse en el campo de las ideas. Se sientan los antecedentes y se analiza el desarrollo de estos campos en occidente (Europa y Estados Unidos de América) desde las vanguardias del siglo XX hasta los años 60, para luego hacer una cartografía de la historia del conceptualismo sónico en Latino América desde los años 50 al presente, al redefinir, revalorar y contrastar las aportaciones que se han hecho en el continente, con un enfoque que se centra más en lo político y social, pero sin olv…

Algorithm for clinical evaluation and surgical treatment of gynaecomastia.

2006

Algorithm for clinical evaluation and surgical treatment of gynaecomastia. Cordova A, Moschella F. Source Dipartimento di Discipline Chirurgiche ed Oncologiche, Cattedra di Chirurgia Plastica e Ricostruttiva, Università degli Studi di Palermo, Palermo, Italy. adriana.cordova@excite.com Abstract BACKGROUND: Gynaecomastia can be classified on the basis of the main characterising factors, i.e. pathogenesis, histopathology and morphology. The morphological classifications of gynaecomastia currently made often use subjective parameters and qualifying adjectives. In this paper the authors propose a scheme for morphological classification of gynaecomastia which can serve as a guide for choosing th…

Spectral imaging as a tool for the evaluation of skin cancer post-operative scars

2020

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the USA and worldwide.1 An early diagnosis is the key to a successful treatment. Among the skin cancers, the malignant melanoma (MM) accounts for 1% of the cases while it is responsible for the majority of deaths. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer with a very low mortality rate.2 Unfortunately, skin cancer recurrence is a common problem for MM and BCC patients. We propose a post-operative scar screening with non-invasive autofluorescence (AF) imaging to detect an early growth of any residual tissue from the cancer removal procedure. The screening images can serve also as a visual evidence for the post-op patien…

Periauricular wrinkles removed with voltaic arc dermabrasion (Atmospheric Plasma technique).

2019

Background In recent literature, different approaches have been proposed to improve the long-lasting treatment of age-related alterations on the human face with decreased invasiveness and side effects such as scar tissue. Voltaic arc dermabrasion is a minimally painful procedure that does not create discomfort to the patient and requires no anaesthesia. Aims The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the voltaic arc technique for the treatment of skin wrinkles in the periauricular area. Methods A total of 80 patients were treated in this study, 56 females and 24 males. The population was visited at 1 week, 1 month, and 2 months postoperative follow-ups to evaluate the healing of the trea…

The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale to Evaluate the Cosmetic Outcomes of the Robotic Single-Site Hysterectomy in Endometrial Cancer

2017

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the cosmetic outcome of robotic single-site hysterectomy (RSSH) in early-stage endometrial cancer.MethodsWe prospectively collected patient demographics, operative times, complications, pathologic results, and length of stay on all patients who underwent RSSH for early-stage endometrial cancer. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) was used for the evaluation of the cosmetic outcome.ResultsForty-five patients were included in our study from January 2012 to October 2015. The median age of patients was 63 years (range, 35–84 years), and the median body mass index was 26.5 kg/m2 (range, 18–39 kg/m2). No laparoscopic/laparoto…

Studi greci e latini nell?antica Università di Altamura (1748-1821)

2019

The article tries to highlight, despite the scarse of available documentation, the Greek and Latin studies (language and texts) in the ancient Apulian University in Altamura (1748-1821). Furthermore, on the basis of unpublished archival materials (school registers and student workbooks) it is possible to shed light on the ancient authors explained at school, the teaching methods, and the study practices.

End-user Need based Creation of a Medical Device: An Experience of Co-design to Struggle Pathological Scars

2020

International audience; Scar is a common visible mark of human tissue healing. Sometimes pathological phenomena lead to abnormal hypertrophic or keloid scars, with evolutions varying depending on different conditions: origin of the tissue barrier disruption, concerned body area, or ethnic origin. Based on these statements, care procedures have been developed to avoid aesthetical or functional impairments: drugs injection, surgery, cryotherapy or mechanical compression. The story will relate the matching of a multi-disciplinary team that focused on covering an unmet need for ear lobe keloid treatment, providing patients an optimal and holistic care. The benefits researched lied in improving …
