The history of life may be compared to a huge cable enclosing as many strands as there are fossil and present species. The biosphere, with its 2 million species, would then correspond to a transverse section through this cable.
Representation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in American newspapers
2015
Israelin ja Palestiinan välinen kiista maa-alueesta on johtanut yhteen modernin historian pitkittyneimmistä ja väkivaltaisimmista konflikteista. Kesäkuussa 2014 väkivaltaisuudet leimahtivat jälleen Gazassa, ja siviiliuhrien määrä oli suurin lähes 50 vuoteen. Tapahtumat saivat runsasta mediahuomiota ympäri maailman. Konfliktin uutisointi on ollut usean akateemisen tutkielman kohteena, ja monissa tapauksissa se on havaittu jossain määrin puolueelliseksi. Näihin lukeutuu esimerkiksi Aziza Zaherin kriittinen diskurssintutkimus länsimaisista ja arabilehdistä. Analyysi sanastosta, narratiiveista sekä transitiivisuudesta näytti, että uutisointi ei ollut puolueetonta ja ennakkoluulotonta, toisin ku…
Autonomy and Relatedness in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Relationships with Parental Support and Psychological Distress
2014
Autonomy and relatedness are fundamental needs both in adolescence and in emerging adulthood which are affected by parental support and are linked to children’s psychological distress. The study investigated autonomy and relatedness in late adolescents and emerging adults living in Italy, analyzing the relationships with perceived parental support and psychological distress. Self-report data were collected from a sample of 325 Caucasian adolescents and emerging adults (males = 41 %) ranging in age from 17 to 26 years and living in Sicily (southern Italy). Results showed that: (a) both autonomy and relatedness were positively predicted by parental support to these needs, (b) perceived suppor…
Langerhans cell histiocytosis: Current concepts in dentistry and case report
2016
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), which is a rare granulomatous pediatric disease of unknown etiology, is characterized by the idiopathic proliferation and accumulation of abnormal and clonal Langerhans cells or their marrow precursors, resulting in localized, solitary or multiple destructive lesions. These lesions are most commonly eosinophilic granuloma, which are found in craniofacial bone structures such as the skull and mandible, skin and other organs. In children, the disease has a variable initial presentation, and the clinical course, prognosis and survival are unpredictable. The aims of this report were to present an LCH case in a girl aged 2 years, 8 months and her clinicopatho…
DNA Histogram of Invasive Bladder Carcinoma: Comparison of Flow Cytometry and Automated Image Analysis
1989
Invasive bladder carcinoma is characterized by a considerable interindividual heterogeneity. The natural course of the disease as well as sensitivity of the tumors to various treatment modalities are thus unpredictable. Searching for more accurate characteristics of tumor biology than those presently available, the DNA histograms of 65 paraffin-preserved bladder carcinomas from cystectomy specimens were analyzed. Flow cytometry and automated image analysis, two competing methods, were compared.

Revised recommendations of the Italian Society of Pediatrics about the general management of Kawasaki disease
2021
AbstractAim of these revised recommendations for the general management of Kawasaki disease is to encourage its prompter recognition and warrant the most appropriate therapy, based on ascertained scientific data, raising awareness of the complications related to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. A set of 20 synthetic operative statements is herein provided, including the definition of Kawasaki disease, its protean presentations, clinical course and seminal treatment modalities of all disease phases. The application of these recommendations should improve prognosis of Kawasaki disease and prevent the progression to permanent vascular abnormalities, thereby diminishing morbidity and mortalit…
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…
1035 The International Registry for Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NP-C) in Clinical Practice
2012
Background and Aim An international disease registry was started in September 2009 to evaluate the long-term disease course of NP-C in clinical settings. Methods Descriptive data from enrolment are presented for all patients with available data who were included in the Registry as of 19 th August 2011. Results 121 patients have been enrolled. The median (range) age at enrolment was 16.9 (0.9−56.6) years, age at onset of neurological manifestations was 8.2 ( Conclusions Over two-thirds of this NP-C cohort had infantile or juvenile onset of neurological manifestations; neonatal jaundice was observed more frequently in these patients versus adolescent/adult-onset patients.
Experience with the Hellp-Syndrohe
1988
A total of 13 patients with HELLP-Syndrome were treated between 1980 and 1986 at the Mainz University Gynecology Clinic. The course of disease, complications, and fetal outcome observed do not permit generalized recommendations concerning treatment of this syndrome. The treatment plan should rather be based on the Individual situation, whereby the cesarean section has proven to be the preferred mode of delivery in almost all cases.
