María Magdalena. Continuidad y variación en la cultura audiovisual (1897-2014)
2017
El objetivo principal de esta tesis consiste en analizar la presencia de María Magdalena en las producciones audiovisuales del periodo comprendido entre 1897 y 2014. Dichas producciones proceden de Europa, Estados Unidos, Canadá y México. El marco metodológico general a partir del que se plantea el análisis es la iconología, entendida como Zwichenraum o tierra de confluencias. En concreto, la noción de continuidad y variación, iniciada por Aby Warburg y continuada por Fritz Saxl, es la principal cuestión teórica en la que se basa la aproximación. El estudio se lleva a cabo en perspectiva diacrónica con el objetivo de detectar dichas fases de continuidad y variación del personaje a lo largo …
Il progetto I-Access, intreccio di competenze ed esperienze
2021
Questo contributo descrive il progetto INTERREG Italia-Malta 1/16, di cui il Dipartimento di Architettura è stato beneficiario. La proposta, nell’ambito disciplinare del restauro, mira a creare un percorso di azione-apprendimento da applicare nei quartieri storici di Palermo e La Valletta attuando un metodo di lavoro integrato e totalmente interdisciplinare. Il progetto riguarda l’accessibilità fisica, con la progettazione di interventi architettonici, la fornitura di strumenti tecnologici e informatici di supporto per un trasferimento più agevole, e l’accessibilità culturale, che si esprime nella “rete” di comunicazione virtuale per aree non facilmente raggiungibili, e una parallela attivi…
Symptom variability and control in COPD: Advantages of dual bronchodilation therapy
2017
Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by usually progressive development of airflow obstruction that is not fully reversible. While most patients will experience symptoms throughout the day or in the morning upon awakening, many patients do not experience their symptoms as constant but report variability in symptoms during the course of the day or over time. Symptom variability adversely affects patients' health status and increases the risk of COPD exacerbations. Methods We examined data from the literature on symptom variability and control in patients with COPD, with focus on the use of inhaled bronchodilator therapy wi…
A methodological proposal for designing a local cultural indicators system based on the strategic planning
2014
En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta metodológica para el diseño de un Sistema de Indicadores Culturales locales que toma como marco de referencia las Estadísticas Culturales de la UNESCO y la Agenda 21 de la Cultura. El Sistema de Indicadores que se propone queda configurado -en función de los objetivos perseguidos, los indicadores culturales requeridos y los usuarios involucrados- en un Sistema Básico y un Sistema Estratégico, y posibilita el seguimiento y evaluación del desempeño de la política cultural local. This paper aims to propose a theoretical framework for designing a Local Cultural Indicators System by considering the one provided by UNESCO for Cultural Statistics and the A…
The HERBA Study: A Retrospective Multi-Institutional Italian Study on Patients With Brain Metastases From HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
2019
There is no sufficient evidence to establish a standard of care for patients with brain metastases (BM) from HER2Data of 154 patients were retrospectively collected at 14 Italian institutions through a specifically designed database.Median overall survival (OS) was 24.5 months. Patients receiving surgery/stereotactic radiosurgery experienced longer OS compared to those receiving whole-brain radiotherapy or no treatment (33.5 vs. 11.4 months; hazard ratio = 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.22-0.52; P .001). Interestingly, whole-brain radiotherapy did not improve OS compared to no treatment (11.4 vs. 9.8 months; hazard ratio = 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.62-1.62; P = .99). HER2-targeted …
[Herpes Zoster and its prevention in Italy. Scientific consensus statement].
2014
In this paper, an Italian group of experts presents a revision of the available data about epidemiology and prevention of Herpes Zoster (HZ). HZ is an acute viral diseases caused by the reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). HZ is characterized by neurological and dermatological symptoms with a dermatomeric localization. The reactivation of the virus from the latent status in the sensitive ganglia increases with age and failing cell mediated immunity. In Europe, more than 95% of adults presents antibodies against VZV. Incidence of HZ is similar all over the world, related to the age of the population: from 2-3/1000 persons/year in the age group 20 to 50 years to 5/1000 in the 60 year…
Pregnancy and internet: sociodemographic and geographic differences in e-health practice. Results from an Italian multicenter study
2015
Since the new millennium, the number of e-health users has significantly increased. Among these, a particular category of people who are interested by this phenomenon is the one of pregnant women. The aim of the present study is to assess the sociodemographic and geographic differences existing in a sample of Italian pregnant women who search for information on the web.Multicenter cross-sectional survey.The present study has been conducted from November 2011 to September 2012, in seven Italian cities, located in the North, in the Centre and in the South of Italy. Data were collected through an anonymous questionnaire, administered in waiting rooms of outpatient departments by trained medica…
Preterm birth: incidence, risk factors and second trimester cervical length in a single center population. A two-year retrospective study
2017
To report the incidence and the major risk factors (RFs) associated with preterm birth (PTB), combining both maternal RFs and cervical length (CL), and to understand if cervical length measurement is really useful in all the patients.The study population consisted of 2048 women admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital of Messina, over a 2-year period. Preterm cases represented approximately 8.64% of our total population and, exactly, 65% were late preterm, 32% were preterm, and 3% were extremely preterm.An analysis of PTB sub-categories based on gestational age showed a stronger correlation between gestational age and CL among preterm and extremely preter…
Direction-dependent activation of the insular cortex during vertical and horizontal hand movements
2016
International audience; The planning of any motor action requires a complex multisensory processing by the brain. Gravity - immutable on Earth - has been shown to be a key input to these mechanisms. Seminal fMRI studies performed during visual perception of falling objects and self-motion demonstrated that humans represent the action of gravity in parts of the cortical vestibular system; in particular, the insular cortex and the cerebellum. However, little is known as to whether a specific neural network is engaged when processing non-visual signals relevant to gravity. We asked participants to perform vertical and horizontal hand movements without visual control, while lying in a 3T-MRI sc…
