Biografia del compositore e direttore d'orchestra Carlo Pedrotti (1817-1893)
Il direttore d'orchestra nel sistema produttivo del teatro d'opera italiano di fine Ottocento. Un caso eloquente: Emilio Usiglio a Firenze nel 1892
2014
Attraverso l'analisi dei sistemi che regolarono l'organizzazione di una stagione operistica a Firenze nel 1892, l'articolo riflette sulla progressiva affermazione del direttore d'orchestra come figura centrale della macchina produttiva.
"queste opere eminentemente sinfoniche e spettacolose": Giacomo Meyerbeer’s influence on Italian Opera orchestras
2008
Si prende in esame l'influsso del compositore Giacomo Meyerbeer sull'opera italiana e, in conseguenza, sulle orchestre dei teatri d'opera italiani. La prima parte guarda in generale alla recezione della sua musica in Italia e descrive il suo impatto sul sistema produttivo; la seconda parte discute attraverso specifici esempi l'influenza della sua musica sulla trasformazione delle orchestre dei teatri d'opera durante l'Ottocento. This study analyses Giacomo Meyerbeer's influence on Italian Opera and, consequently, on Italian orchestras. The first part looks at Meyerbeer's reception in Italy and describes his impact on the system of opera production there; the second part discusses the subseq…

An unusual Erdheim-Chester disease with orbital involvement: a case report
2017
Erdheim-Chester disease is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with multiorgan involvement and a specific tropism for perivascular and fatty connective tissue, of unclear origin, with poor response to therapy. Its identification is difficult because of the variable clinical presentation and its lack of knowledge. We report the case of a 63-years-old woman, with a history of bilateral orbital pseudotumor, who comes to our attention because of progressively worsening asthenia, vomiting and systemic inflammation. Total body computerized tomography scan showed a volumetric increase of choroid plexus of the temporal horn of the left lateral ventricle, presence of solid retrobulbar tissue at…
Metabolomic Profile of Human Myocardial Ischemia by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Peripheral Blood Serum
2012
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolomic profile of acute myocardial ischemia (MIS) using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of peripheral blood serum of swine and patients undergoing angioplasty balloon‐induced transient coronary occlusion. Background Biochemical detection of MIS is a major challenge. The validation of novel biosignatures is of utmost importance. Methods High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to profile 32 blood serum metabolites obtained (before and after controlled ischemia) from swine (n 9) and patients (n 20) undergoing transitory MIS in the setting of planned coronary angioplasty. Additionally, blood serum of c…
Functional Adhesion of Pectin Biopolymers to the Lung Visceral Pleura
2021
Pleural injuries and the associated “air leak” are the most common complications after pulmonary surgery. Air leaks are the primary reason for prolonged chest tube use and increased hospital length of stay. Pectin, a plant-derived heteropolysaccharide, has been shown to be an air-tight sealant of pulmonary air leaks. Here, we investigate the morphologic and mechanical properties of pectin adhesion to the visceral pleural surface of the lung. After the application of high-methoxyl citrus pectin films to the murine lung, we used scanning electron microscopy to demonstrate intimate binding to the lung surface. To quantitatively assess pectin adhesion to the pleural surface, we used a custom ad…
Pterygium axillae as a rare manifestation of Poland syndrome
2016
Abstract Poland syndrome is characterized by a combination of absent pectoralis muscle, abnormalities of the rib cage, the breast, as well as brachy-syndactyly. We report a case of a 3 month old girl who was born with right sided axillary pterygium combined with flattening of the right anterior chest wall. Resection of a sclerotic band with reconstruction by Z-plasty was performed. Intraoperative and histopathological findings confirmed that the axillary pterygium developed on the basis of a scarred, hypoplastic pectoralis major muscle. Our case adds to the body of evidence that Poland syndrome may present in a heterogeneous fashion, including the rare finding of axillary pterygium with ass…
Differences in Symptomatology and Clinical Course of Acute Coronary Syndromes in Women ≤45 Years of Age Compared to Older Women
2021
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in young people are rare. The data regarding differences in symptoms in relation to age are scarce, which may have an influence on outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the clinical course of ACS between younger women (≤45 years old) and older women (63-64 years old). We compared 7481 women with ACS from the Polish Registry of ACS between 2007 and 2014 (1834 women aged ≤45 years and 5647 women aged 63-64 years). The predominant symptom of ACS in both groups was chest pain, with a higher incidence occurring in younger women (90.4% vs 88.5%, P = 0.025). Prehospital cardiac arrest occurred more often in younger women (2.1% vs 0.8%, P0…
