Longe vehementissimus… adfectus: l’esperienza del pianto nell’eloquenza latina tra parola e immagine
2020
Fin da Aristotele le emozioni sono ‘arruolate’ alla causa della retorica, determinando una linea che farà da apripista alle esperienze successive, dalla Grecia a Roma. Proprio all’interno di un più generale interesse per il rapporto tra emozioni e retorica da una parte, tra parola e immagine dall’altra, si situa il pianto, oggetto, a Roma, di notevole considerazione. Le lacrime costituiscono infatti un elemento nevralgico dell’eloquenza latina: il potere del pianto appare costantemente ricercato, perseguito con cura, ma anche, per converso, temuto, e per questo messo alla berlina, demonizzato. Proprio questo rapporto, che permette tra l’altro di misurare la distanza tra la cultura antica e …
Fainomena Aratea : tähtiä ja tähdistöjä kuvaavat adjektiivit Ciceron, Germanicuksen ja Avienuksen käännöksissä
2002
Kreikkalainen Aratos Soloslainen kirjoitti tähtitaivasta kuvailevan heksametri-mittaisen Fainomena-opetusrunoelman n. 270 eKr. Teos oli tunnettu kautta koko antiikin ajan, ja sitä käytettiin pohjana useissa muissa tähtitiedettä käsittelevissä teoksissa. Kreikankielisen alkuperäistekstin lisäksi antiikin ajalta on säilynyt sen kolme latinankielistä käännösversiota: Ciceron, Germanicuksen ja Avienuksen Fainomena-käännökset. Cicero julkaisi omansa ensimmäisellä vuosisadalla eKr., Germanicus ensimmäisellä vuosisadalla jKr. ja Avienus neljännellä vuosisadalla jKr. Tässä pro gradu -työssä tarkastellaan, millaisin adjektiivein tähtiä on kuvattu ja miten latinan runokieli on muuttunut kyseisenä vii…
Modulation of the Endocannabinoids N-Arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) on Executive Functions in Human.
2013
Animal studies point to an implication of the endocannabinoid system on executive functions. In humans, several studies have suggested an association between acute or chronic use of exogenous cannabinoids (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and executive impairments. However, to date, no published reports establish the relationship between endocannabinoids, as biomarkers of the cannabinoid neurotransmission system, and executive functioning in humans. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between circulating levels of plasma endocannabinoids N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and executive functions (decision making, response inhibition and cognit…
Desarrollo de formulaciones de liberación controlada para enfermedades inflamatorias
2022
Las enfermedades inflamatorias con componente autoinmune de la piel y del tracto gastrointestinal, como son la psoriasis y la dermatitis atópica y la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, respectivamente, son enfermedades prevalentes que necesitan mejorar su tratamiento. La ciclosporina A es un fármaco inmunosupresor que ha demostrado ser efectivo para el tratamiento de enfermedades autoinmunes, pero también sus efectos adversos a nivel sistémico. En el caso de las enfermedades cutáneas, la administración por vía tópica de este fármaco aportaría grandes ventajas como la posibilidad de actuar a nivel local y evitar efectos sistémicos. Sin embargo, la ciclosporina A presenta un tamaño molecular…
Barking at the Threshold
2019
Over the past few years, students of ancient Mediterranean societies have shown consistent interest in the cultural construction of dogs as reflected in texts, artefacts, and other media. However, whereas the cultural and literary implications of the Greek representation of dogs have been the subject of thorough investigations, Roman dogs have remained at the margins of the scholarly debate. By adopting an interdisciplinary methodology that combines cognitive theory, rhetorical analysis, and socio-anthropological research, the present paper discusses some affordances of dogs (in the terms of James Gibson’s 'ecological approach to visual perception') that are given special significance withi…
Glycerosomes:investigation of role of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidycholine (DMPC) on the assembling and skin delivery performances
2017
Glycerosomes were formulated using 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidycholine (DMPC), diclofenac sodium salt and 10, 20 or 30% glycerol in the water phase, while corresponding liposomes were prepared with the same amount of DMPC and diclofenac, without glycerol. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of the used phospholipid on vesicle features and ability to favour diclofenac skin deposition by comparing these results with those found in previous works performed using hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (P90H) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). Liposomes and glycerosomes were multilamellar, liposomes being smaller (72±6nm). Interactions among glycerol, phospho…
Perlman syndrome: Clinical report and nine-year follow-up
2005
We present the clinical and follow-up data of a female infant with Perlman syndrome from birth to the age of 9 years. Main features of Perlman syndrome include polyhydramnios, fetal overgrowth, neonatal macrosomia, macrocephaly, dysmorphic facial features, visceromegaly, nephroblastomatosis, and a predisposition for Wilm's tumor. In our patient, the nephromegaly with nephroblastomatosis was not present at birth or during the neonatal period; it became evident in the first months of postnatal life. A Wilm's tumor was diagnosed when she was about 1 year old. Long term follow-up documents the natural history of Perlman syndrome and allows us to establish the long-term prognosis of the affected…
Triacylglycerol Analysis in Human Milk and Other Mammalian Species: Small-Scale Sample Preparation, Characterization, and Statistical Classification …
2015
In this work, a method for the separation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) present in human milk and from other mammalian species by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using a core–shell particle packed column with UV and evaporative light-scattering detectors is described. Under optimal conditions, a mobile phase containing acetonitrile/n-pentanol at 10 °C gave an excellent resolution among more than 50 TAG peaks. A small-scale method for fat extraction in these milks (particularly of interest for human milk samples) using minimal amounts of sample and reagents was also developed. The proposed extraction protocol and the traditional method were compared, giving similar results…

Age-related changes in the endocannabinoid system in the mouse hippocampus.
2015
Previous studies have demonstrated that the endocannabinoid system significantly influences the progression of brain ageing, and the hippocampus is one of the brain regions most vulnerable to ageing and neurodegeneration. We have further examined age-related changes in the hippocampal endocannabinoid system by measuring the levels of anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in young and old mice from two different mouse strains. We found a decrease in 2-AG but not AEA levels in aged mice. In order to identify the cause for 2-AG level changes, we investigated the levels of several enzymes that contribute to synthesis and degradation of 2-AG in the hippocampus. We found a selective …
