Dinotrema cavernicola sp. n. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae), a new species of the genus Dinotrema Foerster from caves of Spain
2014
Dinotrema cavernicola sp. n. was collected in two caves in Spain. This is the first Dinotrema species known to occur in caves. This new species is described and compared to D. affine (Fischer, 1973) and D. collybiae Munk & Peris-Felipo, 2014, species sharing a mid-longitudinal carina on the propodeum.
Ruolo chiave della dieta proteico/aminoacidica nel mantenimento del peso in soggetti iperinsulinemici sottoposti a NEP
2012
Ruolo chiave della dieta proteico/aminoacidica nel mantenimento del peso in soggetti iperinsulinemici sottoposti a NEP Matteo Tutino, Giuseppe Morici, L. Cavarra, Francesco Nanfitò, D. Camacaro, Vittorio Calabrese. Università di Palermo, Dipartimento di Biomedicina Sperimentale e Neuroscienze Cliniche - Università di Catania, Dipartimento Biochimica Clinica La Nutrizione Enterale Proteica (NEP) associata alla dieta proteico/aminoacidica è una terapia nutrizionale a scopo dimagrante basata su un’alimentazione essenzialmente proteica. Mentre la NEP consente una rapida perdita di peso, la dieta proteica permette di mantenere nel tempo il risultato ottenuto. La possibilità di alimentarsi manten…
Effect of boldine, secoboldine, and boldine methine on angiotensin II-induced neutrophil recruitment in vivo.
2005
AbstractAngiotensin-II (Ang-II) has inflammatory activity and is involved in different diseases associated with the cardiovascular system. This study has evaluated the effect of boldine (B), and two phenanthrene alkaloids semisynthesized by us, secoboldine (SB) and boldine methine (BM), on Ang-II-induced neutrophil recruitment. Intraperitoneal administration of 1 nM Ang-II induced significant neutrophil accumulation, which was maximal at 4–8 h. BM inhibited neutrophil infiltration into the peritoneal cavity at 4 h and 8 h by 73% and 77%, respectively, SB at 8 h by 55%, and B had no effect on this response. Although BM inhibited the release of cytokine-inducible neutrophil chemoattractant/ke…
Los pasos apresurados, de Dacia Maraini
2012
Passi affrettati (Pasos apresurados) es una obra nacida en el año 2005 de la mano de Dacia Maraini, su autora, una mujer experimentada y relevante en el campo de las letras y del teatro italiano. De duración corta-media se propone clara y directamente como un teatro de intervención social sobre el maltrato y la violencia contra las mujeres. Parte de la narración-representación de ocho historias «ejemplares» verídicas, procedentes de diversas partes del mundo, protagonizadas por mujeres. Prevé un formato de lectura dramatizada de fácil transporte y siempre un debate final con el público asistente. Su alta eficacia queda probada por las numerosas representaciones exitosas habidas, normalmente…
Parenterale Ernährung mit Fettemulsionen verschiedener Teilchengröße
1967
Bei intravenoser Applikation von radioaktiv markierten Fettemulsionen an Ratten ergab sich, das die Verwertung des Fettes im Stoffwechsel durch die Grose der Fetteilchen beeinflust wird. Kleinere Teilchen (Durchmesser etwa 0,5 bis 1 µ) werden schneller verwertet als grosere (Durchmesser uber 3 bis 5 µ). Letztere werden zum Teil mechanisch in der Lunge festgehalten. Die Verfettung der Leber war je nach Teilchengrose verschieden. Histologische Untersuchungen mit nicht markierten Emulsionen konnten diese Befunde weitgehend bestatigen.
Enteral tube feeding and mortality in hospitalized older patients: A multicenter longitudinal study
2020
Background & aims: The literature regarding enteral nutrition and mortality in older frail people is limited and still conflicting. Moreover, the potential role of comprehensive geriatric assessment is poorly explored. We therefore aimed to investigate whether the Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), an established tool that assesses measures of frailty and predicts mortality, may help physicians in identifying patients in whom ETF (enteral tube feeding) is effective in terms of reduced mortality. Methods: Observational, longitudinal, multicenter study with one year of follow-up. Data regarding ETF were recorded through medical records. A standardized comprehensive geriatric assessm…
Impact of nutritional status on the oral bioavailability of leucine administered to rats as part of a standard enteral diet.
2010
Summary Background To investigate the absorption and relative bioavailability of leucine administered orally as part of an enteral diet in well and malnourished animals. Methods Two groups – RN (regular nutrition) and PCR (protein-calorie restricted) – were fed with different diets for 23–25 days. Rats from each group were assigned randomly to one of three treatments (water, T-Diet Plus Standard ® (problem) or Isosource ST ® (reference)) administered in single ( N = 76) or multiple ( N = 39) doses. Blood samples were assayed for leucine content. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by non-compartmental analysis. Log-transformed AUC(s) were statistically compared by analysis of varian…
Efficacy of Periportal Infiltration and Intraperitoneal Instillation of Ropivacaine After Laparoscopic Surgery in Children
2009
Postoperative pain is less intense after laparoscopic than after open surgery. However, minimally invasive surgery is not a a pain-free procedure. Many trials have been done in adults using intraperitoneal and/or incisional local anesthetic, but similar studies have not yet been reported in the literature in children. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of periportal infiltration and intraperitoneal instillation of ropivacaine in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery were randomly allocated to one of three groups. Group A (n 10) received local infiltration of port sites with 10 mL of ro…
Treatment of Malignant Ascites with a Second Cycle of Catumaxomab in Gastric Signet Cell Carcinoma - a Report of 2 Cases
2014
<b><i>Summary</i></b><b><i>Background: </i></b>Malignant ascites is a frequent complication in gastrointestinal malignancy and is unresponsive to systemic therapies. Therapeutic options are limited, and repeated paracentesis is associated with increased loss of fluids and proteins, and impaired quality of life. The bi-specific trifunctional antibody catumaxomab has been approved for the treatment of refractory ascites. It has been proposed that repeated application leads to formation of human anti-mouse antibodies with a decrease in effectiveness and potentially hypersensitivity reactions. <b><i>Case Report: </i></b>Her…
Pelvic exenterations for primary rectal cancer: analysis from a 10-year national prospective database
2018
Aim: to identify short-term and oncologic outcomes of pelvic exenterations (PE) for locally advanced primary rectal cancer (LAPRC) in patients included in a national prospective database. Methods: few studies report on PE in patients with LAPRC. For this study, we included PE for LAPRC performed between 2006 and 2017, as available, from the Rectal Cancer Registry of the Spanish Association of Surgeons [Asociación Española de Cirujanos (AEC)]. Primary endpoints included procedure-associated complications, 5-year local recurrence (LR), disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). A propensity-matched comparison with patients who underwent non-exenterative surgery for low rectal canc…
