Within the quick nano-fabrication techniques evolution and the increasing needs in low space and energy opto-electronic functions on-chip integration, studies and control of electromagnetic resonances of sub-micrometric objects are crucial issues. One aim of this work was then to improve our knowledge of the light-matter interaction. To this end, optical near-field experiments and complementary numerical development of models have been performed to study electromagnetic resonances due to light-matter interaction in sub-micrometric resonators. As an introduction, the first part of the manuscript presents the main phenomena involved in near-field optical microscopy and the used SNOM operation…
Structural and functional characterization of enamel pigmentation in shrews.
2013
Pigmented tooth enamel occurs in several vertebrate clades, ranging from mammals to fish. Although an iron compound is associated with this orange to red colored pigmentation, its chemical and structural organization within the enamel is unknown. To determine the nature of the iron compound, we investigated heavily pigmented teeth of the northern short-tailed shrew Blarina brevicauda using combined characterization techniques such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. We found that the pigmentation of the enamel with an iron content of around 8wt% results from a close to amorphous magnetite phase deposited around the nm-sized enamel crystals. Fu…
La blogosfera política española en las Elecciones Generales 2011. Una comparación entre blogs de candidatos, periodistas y ciudadanos
2015
En: Doxa Comunicación : revista interdisciplinar de estudios de comunicación y ciencias sociales. ISSN 1696-019X n. XXI, 2015, pp 78-112 El presente estudio propone un análisis de la blogosfera política española durante la campaña electoral previa a las Elecciones Generales del 20 de noviembre de 2011, con el fin de identificar los principales temas de discusión que centraron el debate en tres tipos de bitácoras: seis blogs de candidatos políticos de las principales formaciones políticas españolas, cuatro a cargo de periodistas destacados de la esfera pública central y cuatro de ciudadanos anónimos. Se plantea un análisis de contenido fundamentado en 57 categorías temáticas para establecer …
Metabolic effect of berberine-silymarin association: A meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials.
2019
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a combination of berberine and silymarin on serum lipids and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) through a systematic review of literature and meta-analysis of the available randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials (RCTs). A systematic literature search in SCOPUS, PubMed-Medline, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases was conducted up to October 2, 2018, in order to identify RCTs assessing changes in plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and FPG during treatment with berberine and silymarin in combina…
Eltrombopag in chronic hepatitis C
2014
Chronic hepatitis C is a public health problem worldwide. Unfortunately, not all patients may benefit from antiviral therapy due to thrombocytopenia. Its causes are represented by portal hypertension and platelet sequestration in the spleen, decreased serum levels or activity of thrombopoietin, the bone marrow suppression induced by hepatitis C virus and a possible adverse effect of interferon. Thrombopoietin receptor analogs may contribute to increase platelet counts in these patients. Eltrombopag binds to another region of the thrombopoietin receptor compared to endogenous thrombopoietin and stimulates the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes and the platelet production in a dos…
Analysis and comparison of autologous platelet-rich plasma preparation systems used in the treatment of enthesopathies: A preliminary study
2021
Background Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is an alternative but widely accepted method for the treatment of degenerative changes in tendon attachments known as enthesopathies. The PRP is considered a safe source for high concentrations of the growth factors involved in the healing process. Despite initial promising outcomes, many recent studies report conflicting results for this treatment. This may be due to differences in the concentrations of platelets and growth factors in PRPs obtained using different methods. Objectives The aim of this study was to compare PRP preparation systems in terms of morphotic components and selected growth factors to find the most appropriate…

Osteosynthesetechniken bei proximalen Humerusfrakturen
2001
Proximale Humerusfrakturen sind haufige Verletzungen. Die Frage der optimalen osteosynthetischen Behandlung instabiler und dislozierter 2- bis 4-Segmentfrakturen ist nach wie vor nicht einhellig geklart. Die operative Therapie befindet sich in der Konfliktsituation zwischen der Forderung einer anatomischen Reposition und stabilen Frakturretention auf der einen Seite und der Notwendigkeit einer maximalen intraoperativen Schonung der periglenohumeralen Weichteilstrukturen und Blutversorgung des Oberarmkopfs, mit dem Ziel das iatrogene Risiko der avascularen Kopfnekrose zu minimieren, andererseits. Wahrend Minimalosteosynthesen, bei denen die Reposition indirekt oder percutan erfolgt, Vorteile…
Zur erweitrten Indikationsstellung der Herbert-Schrauben-Osteosynthese
1995
Since 1984 the typical headless double threaded Herbert/Whipple screw is known in managing scaphoid fractures and scaphoid non-unions. We resume technical, biomechanical and histological aspects to point out advantages and disadvantages of this osteosynthesis. Our case review of 39 patients illustrate the same good results as achieved in treating scaphoid injuries, when using the Herbert/Whipple screw of a larger diameter for expanded indications other than scaphoid fractures, such as humeral- or radial-head fractures, Jones fractures and others.
