La partita del diritto penale nell’epoca dei “drone-crimes”
2019
Quale spazio riconoscere alla giurisdizione e al diritto penale italiano nei casi di omicidi mirati a mezzo drone e di collateral damages verificatisi nell’ambito della Global War on Terror, ad opera degli Stati Uniti d’America in Stati terzi? Alla luce del sempre più frequente impiego dei droni armati come armi altamente tecnologiche e spersonalizzanti nella lotta al terrorismo, si proverà a verificare se e come il diritto penale possa (e debba) muoversi tra le macerie dei drone strike: partendo da considerazioni in ordine alla natura del drone e al suo “proficuo” impiego nel contesto sovranazionale, si verificheranno quali sono gli spazi della giurisdizione italiana in materia, specie all…
Espolonectomía: una nueva modificación de la esclerectomía profunda no perforante
2021
Objetivos: Evaluar los resultados de una nueva modificación de la esclerectomía profunda no perforante (EPNP) denominada espolonectomía. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo no aleatorizado y comparativo que incluyó 98 ojos (grupo A) operados con espolonectomía, que consiste en la combinación de la escisión del espolón escleral con EPNP. El grupo control (B) incluyó 53 ojos operados con EPNP clásica. Durante 12 meses se estudiaron la presión intraocular (PIO), los medicamentos antiglaucomatosos que requirieron y las complicaciones. Resultados: La PIO media disminuyó de 25,69 ± 8,11 preoperatoria a 15,73 ± 4,16 mmHg después de la cirugía en el grupo A (p < 0,001). En el grupo B disminuyó de 26,66 …
The role of dry eye disease in cataract and refractive surgery
2019
El síndrome de ojo seco (DED) puede jugar un papel importante en las cirugías oftálmicas con fines refractivos tanto corneales (tratamiento corneal laser) como cristalinianas (cirugía de catarata) pero también en aquellas cuyo fin es controlar la presión intraocular en pacientes que sufren de glaucoma. El objetivo principal de esta tesis se refiere a la aplicación de una serie de pruebas diagnósticas, de mínimamente a no-invasivas, sugeridas por el Tear Film & Ocular Society Dry Eye WorkShop II (TFOS DEWS II) que pueden ayudar a mejorar los resultandos refractivos y visuales en la cirugía oftálmica actual. La cirugía de cristalino, particularmente la cirugía moderna de catarata y la refract…
A short story of 3AB-OS Cancer Stem Cells, a possible model for studying cancer stemness
2014
All tumors contain a population of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) responsible for the initiation, growth and development of the tumor and a challenge in cancer research is their identification and eradication. In our laboratory, by chemical treatment of the human osteosarcoma MG63 cell line, we have isolated and characterized the human OS CSC line (3AB-OS). 3AB-OS CSCs have a significant chromosomal complexity and a large number of molecular abnormalities which appear to be strongly congruent with those described in a large number of pediatric and adult osteosarcomas. 3AB-OS cells transdifferentiated in vitro into cells of all three primary germ layers and, when xenografted in athymic mice they w…

Evaluation of a new nomogram for Ferrara ring segment implantation in keratoconus
2021
AIM: To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of Ferrara rings in keratoconus using an optimized nomogram developed after several years of research and retrospective analysis of clinical data. METHODS: This prospective longitudinal non-comparative clinical trial evaluated 88 eyes of 88 patients (age 18-62y) with keratoconus diagnosis from two Spanish centers. Ferrara ring segment (AJL Ophthalmic) implantation was performed in all cases, using the mechanical procedure in 25 eyes (28.4%) and a femtosecond laser-assisted procedure in 63 eyes (71.6%). The ring segments implanted in each case were selected using a new optimized nomogram that considered variables such as anterior corneal asph…
SURGICAL TREATMENT OF GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOR AND IMPLICATIONS OF NEO-ADJUVANT TREATMENT

Visual Health Nanocomposites: Present and Future
2021
Background: In recent years, the therapeutics for eye diseases as retinopathy diabetic, dry eye, glaucoma and contact lenses fabrication are including nanocompounds as ocular drug delivery systems, biomarkers for detection of eye diseases, copper and silver ions that has been incorporated by means of the nanotechnology for the production of less toxic and more effective alternatives. Several compounds such as silver nanoparticles, turmeric-based nanocomposites, neovascularization blockers and nanoparticles extracted from the plant Costus pictus among others have been researched for this purpose. Those compounds are some of the promising research efforts that are studying and will contribute…
Antibodies to alpha B-crystallin, vimentin, and heat shock protein 70 in aqueous humor of patients with normal tension glaucoma and IgG antibody patt…
2007
To show the existence of IgG antibodies against retinal antigens in aqueous humor of normal tension glaucoma patients.Forty-two patients were included in this study. Aqueous humor was collected from control subjects (CO; n = 21) and patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG; n = 21). Western blot methods against bovine retinal antigens were used to detect the IgG antibody patterns. The complex antibody repertoires were analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques. Mass spectrometry was used to identify the most important antigens.Very complex IgG antibody patterns against retinal antigens were found in all analyzed aqueous humor samples. Our multivariate approach could quantify differen…
Evaluation of presumptive biomarkers of oxidative stress, immune response and apoptosis in primary open-angle glaucoma.
2013
There is growing interest on the correlation among oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and primary open-angle glaucoma initiation and progression. Reactive oxygen species are formed in the eyes following a wide variety of stressors, and are largely implicated in glaucoma pathogenesis. Immune-inflammatory response mediators have recently become a target of ophthalmologic concern, including glaucoma. Much attention has been derived to the role of specific pro and anti-apoptotic molecules in glaucoma. This article reviews the early evidence suggesting that reactive oxygen species, immune inflammatory response mediators, and apoptogenic molecules are engaged in glaucoma disease. Moreover,…
