Granulomatous mycosis fungoides, a rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
2015
Granulomatous mycosis fungoides (GMF) is an unusual histologic subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.1 The diagnosis of GMF is usually established after observation of a granulomatous inflammatory reaction associated with a malignant lymphoid infiltrate. Epidermotropism, a clue to diagnosis in classical mycosis fungoides (MF) may be absent in about 47% of cases of GMF.2 In some instances, the granulomatous component may be intense and obscures the lymphomatous component of the infiltrate.1 There are no distinctive clinical patterns associated with GMF.1, 3
Framing of Corporate Social Responsibility by Agribusiness in the USA and Europe : A study of whether the Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure …
2016
Master thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2016 This thesis examines whether the CSR reports by agricultural biotechnology and agrochemical companies in the USA and Europe align to the stakeholders’ (NGOs and the external constituents) expectations. The focus is on issues of key importance to these firms and the stakeholders, including GMOs, chemicals, and the corporate control over seeds. Framing creates expectations, as framing theory indicates framing is to focus on some of the many facets through which an issue can be seen, and highlight them using salient words and phrases to render them significant. The analysis revealed that 16 companies prepare CSR reports: 8 …
Estimulantes y Activadores de la Guanilato Ciclasa en el Tratamiento del Asma y la Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica
2022
La enzima guanilato ciclasa soluble (GCs) tras la unión del óxido nítrico (NO), cataliza la conversión del guanosín 5′-trifosfato (GTP) en guanosín 3,5-monofosfato cíclico (GMPc), un segundo mensajero que participa en diversos procesos fisiológicos entre los que se incluyen la relajación muscular, la dilatación de los bronquios y de los vasos sanguíneos, efectos en las rutas de señalización de diferenciación y proliferación celular, efectos antiinflamatorios e inhibición de la agregación de plaquetas. En las vías aéreas de los pacientes con Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica (EPOC) y asma, dos enfermedades respiratorias caracterizadas por una inflamación crónica y una obstrucción de la…

Synthesis of Silver Gallium Selenide (AgGaSe2) Nanotubes and Nanowires by Template-Based Electrodeposition
2020
In this work, a systematic investigation of the different parameters that control the electrodeposition processes was carried out at the aim to synthetizing AgGaSe₂ nanostructures. We found that pH is a key parameter to control both the morphology and composition of the nanostructures. Low pH favours mainly the formation of Ag2Se nanotubes with a scarce mechanical stability, while multi-phase nanowires well anchored to the substrate were obtained at higher pH. We also found that it was necessary to increase dramatically the concentration of the gallium precursor into the deposition bath in order to obtain AgGaSe₂ owing to lower redox potential of the Ga3+/Ga couple than Ag2+/Ag and Se4+/Se.…
A Rare Case of Docetaxel-Induced Hydrocephalus Presenting with Gait Disturbances Mimicking and Coexisting with Taxane-Associated Polyneuropathy: The …
2017
Docetaxel constitutes a widely used chemotherapeutic agent as a first-line treatment for several neoplastic diseases. One of the most common side effects induced by this drug is polyneuropathy, which among other symptoms can cause gait disbalance. However, in exceptional cases gait disturbances could be related to docetaxel-induced hydrocephalus, a rare event that up to the present has been overseen throughout the medical literature and should be meticulously differentiated from polyneuropathy, since its clinical features, treatment, and prognosis differ drastically. We present the case of a woman with a progressive gait disturbance that started immediately after having been treated with do…
Ras-pathway has a dual role in yeast galactose metabolism
2007
AbstractIn the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae the genes involved in galactose metabolism (GAL1,7,10) are transcriptionally activated more than a 1000-fold in the presence of galactose as the sole carbon source in the culture media. In the present work, we monitored the activity of the GAL10 gene promoter in different Ras-cAMP genetic backgrounds. We demonstrate that overexpression of C-terminus of the nucleotide exchange factor Cdc25p stimulates GAL10 transcription in yeast strains carrying the contemporary deletion of both RAS genes. Moreover, the deletion of the chromosomal CDC25 gene provokes impaired growth on galactose based media in yeast strain lacking both RAS genes and adenylate cy…
Galvanic deposition of Hydroxyapatite/Chitosan/Collagen coatings on 304 stainless steel
2021
The galvanic deposition method was used to deposit Hydroxyapatite/Chitosan/Collagen coatings on 304 stainless steel. Galvanic deposition is an alternative and valid way to fabricate bio-coatings with high biocompatibility and good anticorrosion properties. Physical-chemical characterizations were carried out to investigate chemical composition and morphology of the samples. Coatings consist of a mixture of calcium phosphate (Brushite and Hydroxyapatite) with chitosan and collagen. Corrosion tests were performed in the simulated body fluid (SBF) after different aging times. Results show that, in comparison with bare 304 stainless steel, coating shifts corrosion potential to anodic values and…
The craniofacial necrotizing fasciitis after a minor trauma in an elderly white woman
2014
The term necrotizing fasciitis /NF/ was probably first described by Jones in 1871 as “hospital gangrene”. NF, with its fast spreading from the local infection to massive necrosis of the underlying tissues, ie. superficial fascia and subcutaneous layers, is a potentially fatal disease, unless diagnosed early and properly treated. NF is more frequent in frail patients with chronic debilitating illnesses, immune deficiencies or from a poor social background. Sixty percent of NF cases occur in females. Here we present a case of necrotizing fasciitis of the head and neck region after a minor trauma (phenol blocks due to severe neuropathic pain) in an 82-year-old female with the history of trigem…
Teleportation of squeezing: optimization using non-Gaussian resources
2010
We study the continuous-variable quantum teleportation of states, statistical moments of observables, and scale parameters such as squeezing. We investigate the problem both in ideal and imperfect Vaidman-Braunstein-Kimble protocol setups. We show how the teleportation fidelity is maximized and the difference between output and input variances is minimized by using suitably optimized entangled resources. Specifically, we consider the teleportation of coherent squeezed states, exploiting squeezed Bell states as entangled resources. This class of non-Gaussian states includes photon-added and photon-subtracted squeezed states as special cases. At variance with the case of entangled Gaussian re…
