No difference in 30-day outcome and quality of life in transradial versus transfemoral access – results from the German Austrian ABSORB registry (GAB…
2021
Abstract Background Radial (RA) instead of femoral access (FA) for coronary interventions has become a European Society of Cardiology Class-IA guideline recommendation. But when the decision on the access site is left to the discretion of the operator, differences in adverse event rates mitigate. Methods We compared the 30-day outcome for RA and FA in all patients recruited for the observational German Austrian ABSORB Registry (GABI-R) in regard to all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), TIMI major bleedings (TMB) and quality of life (QoL). All patients were treated with a bioresorbable vascular scaffold. Access site was left to the discretion of the operator. Results In to…
Rationale and design of the EMBRACE STEMI Study: A phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability …
2012
Background Although significant efforts have been made to improve ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) outcomes by reducing symptom-onset-to-reperfusion times, strategies to decrease the clinical impact of ischemic reperfusion injury have demonstrated limited success. Bendavia, an intravenously administered mitochondrial targeting peptide, has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size and attenuate coronary no-reflow in experimental modelswhen given before reperfusion. Design The EMBRACE STEMI study is a phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolling 300 patients with a first-time anterior STEMI and an occluded proximal or mid–left anterior descendin…

Post-infectious myocardial Infarction: Does percutaneous coronary intervention improve outcomes? A propensity-score matched analysis
2020
Acute infection is a frequent trigger of myocardial infarction (MI). However, whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves post-infectious MI prognosis is a major but unsolved issue. In this prospective multicenter study from coronary care units, we performed propensity score-matched analysis to compare outcomes in patients with and without PCI for post-infectious MI with angiography-proven significant coronary stenosis (>
TCTAP A-059 Intrahospital and Long-term Outcomes After True Bifurcation Stenting
2019
Bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging and is associated with lower rate of procedural success and higher risk of complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate intrahospital and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent PCI for bifurcation lesions involving
Ultra-low contrast coronary angiography and zero-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy: step-by-…
2019
Contrast-induced nephropathy is a serious complication after intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media and is associated with numerous adverse outcomes. Its prevalence is particularly high in patients with multiple comorbidities who undergo coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Currently, the only effective method to prevent contrast-induced kidney injury is adequate hydration and a reduction of contrast volume during the intervention. Recently, new approaches aiming to minimize contrast usage have been proposed, i.e., ultra-low contrast angiography and zero-contrast PCI. However, neither tutorials for these techniques nor reviews of their outcome…
Effects of Minimalist Footwear and Foot Strike Patterns on Plantar Pressure during a Prolonged Running
2022
The use of minimalist shoes (MS) in running involves changes in running mechanics compared to conventional shoes (CS), but there is still little research analysing the effects of this footwear on plantar pressure, which could help to understand some risk injury factors. Moreover, there are no studies examining the effects of a prolonged running and foot strike patterns on baropodometric variables in MS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the changes produced using MS on plantar pressure during a prolonged running, as well as its interaction with the time and foot strike pattern. Twenty-one experienced minimalist runners (age 38 ± 10 years, MS running experience 2 ± 1 years) ran…
La lectora imaginada en el siglo XVIII: una aproximación transatlántica a partir de la literatura religiosa
2023
El estudio de las lectoras imaginadas durante la Ilustración, así como de la lectura femenina, ha sido abordado desde diversas perspectivas en Gran Bretaña, Francia, Italia o España. Sin embargo, han predominado los trabajos sobre el centro y el norte de Europa, sobre mujeres eruditas y sobre bibliotecas nobiliarias. Mi objetivo en este trabajo, por lo tanto, es plantearme otros espacios geográficos y otros entornos culturales, poniendo en el centro las relaciones entre España y América y la literatura y el discurso de carácter religioso. Me centraré especialmente en los textos dirigidos a las religiosas, y manuales del Setecientos como La religiosa instruida o La religiosa ilustrada. En el…
Produzione musicale e pratiche sonore nelle chiese palermitane fra Rinascimento e Barocco
2010
Il presente lavoro affronta lo studio delle attività musicali presso le istituzioni ecclesiastiche di Palermo lungo il XVI e la prima metà del XVII secolo. Partendo dall'analisi delle fonti d'archivio, si intende cogliere la componente concreta della produzione e della prassi musicale, incentrando l'attenzione sulle reti di contatto fra istituzioni. Grazie al contributo di diverse discipline e approcci metodologici, vengono sottolineate le principali iniziative di committenza musicale in relazione a dinamiche sociali e di consolidamento del potere istituzionale. L'indagine, dunque, si articola secondo alcune direttive privilegiate: organizzazione e finanziamento delle iniziative musicali; p…
How Music can dominate Space. The Patronage of Music by Religious Orders in 16th- and 17th-century Palermo.
2010
According to the models of the so-called "Urban Musicology", the aim of this paper is to summarize the musical activity promoted by monastic churches between the Renaissance and the Baroque – in particular by the Jesuits – and, by examining data, to reconstruct the musical employees who probably existed in Palermo institutions, financial support for liturgical music and the multiple connections between music, power and social environment.
