Comparative analysis of in situ versus ex situ perfusion on micro circulation in liver procurement--an experimental trial in a porcine model.

2012

The Achilles heel of liver transplantation remains the biliary system. The crucial step for liver preservation is effective rinsing and perfusion of the peribiliary plexus (PBP). Due to the physiology of the vascular tree, it seems almost impossible to achieve the necessary physiologic ranges of pressure and flow by the in situ perfusion technique. We investigated the role of additional ex situ perfusion via the hepatic artery in this animal model.Fifteen German Landrace pigs underwent standardized multiorgan procurement. In situ perfusion and additional ex situ perfusion were performed consecutively. Meanwhile the external pressure applied to the perfusion system was increased stepwise. To…

Inclusive Design for Alzheimer’s Disease: Low-cost Treatments, Design and ICT

2019

Inability to acquire new memories, difficulty to remember recent events and to recognize objects, places and people, visual-spatial disorientation, these are some of the disorders with which who is affected by neurological diseases must learn to live with. In a continuously evolving society, where the decreasing birth rate and the drops in mortality are consistent, the job of Architecture is precisely to interpret the requirements and needs of people who have lost the canonical relationship with the world and give them the possibility to recover it or maintain it through communication channels that use their remaining ability to understand. The indoors and outdoors acquire a “prosthesis fun…

Incapacità di acquisire nuovi ricordi difficoltà nel ricordare eventi osservati recentemente mancata identificazione delle cose dei luoghi e delle persone disorientamento visivo-spaziale sono questi e molti altri i disturbi con cui devono imparare a convivere coloro che sono colpiti da malattie neurologiche. In una società in continua evoluzione dove la diminuzione della natalità e l’innalzamento della soglia di mortalità divengono costanti il compito dell’Architettura è proprio quello d’interpretare le esigenze e i bisogni di persone che hanno perso il rapporto canonico con il mondo e offrire loro le possibilità di recuperarlo o di mantenerlo attraverso canali di comunicazione che sfruttino le loro residue capacità di comprensione. Lo spazio interno ed esterno assume così una “funzione protesica” contenendo ed esprimendo in sé le conoscenze necessarie per la sua corretta fruizione riducendo il senso di frustrazione attraverso la sensazione di sicurezza e di benessere che il malato deve percepire vivendolo. Il presente saggio propone un contributo alla diffusione di conoscenze e di informazioni utili a coloro che operano nel settore della programmazione e della progettazione di strutture socio-sanitarie riportando soluzioni terapeutiche “non farmacologiche” low-cost e sostenibili promosse dalla ricerca tecnologica internazionale e nazionale nel settore della progettazione tecnologica e delle ICT e che hanno dimostrato di essere in grado di produrre significativi benefici sia ai malati sia ai caregivers.Settore ICAR/12 - Tecnologia Dell'Architettura

Mother and infant affective involvement states and maternal depression

1997

This study shows two different dimensional types of maternal depression, one dull and slow, the other stressed and irritable. When the quality of the infant attachment to mother is assessed, it is noted that the dimensional aspect of the maternal depression can be of some importance in the quality of the attachment. In fact, children are more inclined to develop an insecure–ambivalent attachment to their stressed depressed mothers, while children of slow depressed mothers are more insecure–avoiding. Thus, the dimensions of maternal depression can be an indicator of the type of insecure attachment of the infant at one year of age. We have also found that insecure children of depressed mother…

Obesity and assisted reproductive technology outcomes.

2006

Obesity is a rising health problem in Western societies. It has been related to increased morbidity and mortality rates due to several pathologies. In the field of gynaecology and reproduction, obesity is associated with menstrual disorders, hirsutism, infertility, miscarriage and obstetric complications. It is known to impair human reproduction through different mechanisms such as insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism and elevated leptin levels. Weight management and dietary intervention can reverse this situation and improve reproductive function. Obesity can also impair the outcome of assisted reproductive technologies. The lower probability of a healthy live birth described in obese wome…

Il Viadotto Akragas: demolizione o recupero strutturale?

2020

Architetti, ingegneri, urbanisti, ambientalisti e studiosi si confrontano, con idee fortemente contrastanti, sull’effettivo apporto del Ponte “Morandi” alla viabilità della città di Agrigento e al paesaggio della Valle dei templi: l’opera per rispondere ai minimi criteri di sicurezza ha bisogno di ingenti investimenti economici. Non un limitato restyling, bensì importanti interventi di consolidamento strutturale, tutti finalizzati a mantenere in esercizio il viadotto Akragas, almeno per alcuni ulteriori decenni.

Problem behaviors in adolescence: The opposite role played by insecure attachment and commitment strength.

2011

In this study we examined the relations between insecure attachment styles, commitment and behavioral problems, focusing on the unique and common contribution that avoidant and anxious styles and commitment made to internalizing and externalizing problems. 535 adolescents, 267 boys and 268 girls, aged from 16 to 18 years, completed self-report measures of attachment, identity and problem behaviors. The data showed that both internalizing and externalizing problems were positively related to insecure attachment styles and negatively to commitment. Results supported a unique contribution of both insecure styles to the prediction of internalizing and externalizing problems, whereas commitment …

Emotion Regulation and Mentalization in Somatoform Disorders

2010

Alexithymia, characterized by deficits in the awareness and differentiation of emotional states, is hypothesized as underlying somatoform disorders. Mentalization as a construct investigated in cognitive psychology is defined as the ability to refer mental states of others in order to predict their behavior. Developmental psychologists claim that the ability to represent emotions mentally is the cornerstone for the emergence of mentalizing capacity. Therefore, linking alexithymia and mentalization, it is argued that patients with somatoform disorders may not only be hampered in their ability to be consciously aware of their emotions, but may also suffer from deficits in mentalizing capacity…

The evolution of the euro-atlantic pluralistic security community: Impact and perspectives of the presence of American bases in Italy

2007

The article analyses changes in the American global defense posture and the Italian exception to the current trend. It is argued that the changes in Italy cannot be fully understood unless they are analyzed in light both of the changes in the global strategies of the current leader, and of the regional framework in which those strategies are applied. The article proposes an evolutionary interpretation of the development of the American basing network and places the new American basing strategy in Italy within the context of the Euro-Atlantic pluralistic security community, which significantly influences the application and perception of that strategy.
