La raza como problema filosófico en los escritos de Nietzsche
2020
The article aims to elucidate the role played by “race” in Nietzsche's writings. Nietzsche’s concept of “race” is analyzed and interpreted together with his lexicon of the transformation of the human being and his critique of culture. The concept of “race” is studied together with other adjacent concepts and similar ideas such as the treatment of the Jewish question, his criticism of nationalism, the figure of good Europeans, the metaphor of the blond beast, the human types and the thought of breeding. It is concluded that “race” has an unquestionable physiological and evolutionary character, but through the process of incorporation (Einverleibung), culture and morals intervene in a fundame…
Relation of fruit color, elongation, hardness, and volume to the infestation of olive cultivars by the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae
2012
The susceptibility of olive cultivars to the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), has seldom been studied. This article examines factors associated with olive fruit fly infestation of 16 commonly planted Sicilian olive cultivars. Total infestation data were simultaneously correlated with categorical and quantitative factors using ordinal logistic regression. When all factors were included in the analysis, year, sampling date, cultivar, and fruit color were highly significant, but the quantitative factors fruit volume, fruit elongation, and fruit hardness were not. When the analysis was repeated excluding cultivar, all quantitative factors were significant, and e…
Tra borrominismo e tradizione: il caso della cattedrale di Cadice

I progetti per il Concorso internazionale per l'ampliamento dell'Orto Botanico di Palermo nei materiali delle Collezioni Scientifiche del Dipartiment…
2018
Impiantato fra il 1789 e il 1795 il Regio Orto Botanico di Palermo (già ampliato più volte nel corso del XIX secolo), oltre ad essere uno dei principali istituti in Europa, ha avuto un ruolo determinante nell’ambito delle origini dell’Età Contemporanea in Sicilia quale complessa manifestazione di uno strutturato sentimento illuminista endogeno e del configurarsi di una robusta cultura neoclassica palermitana. L’idea di un cimento progettuale finalizzato al suo rilancio scientifico e culturale prende forma in una fase di transizione dell’architettura della seconda metà del secolo scorso e, per altri versi, di formidabile ripresa, in Italia, dell’Arte dei Giardini, sia per la rinascita degli …

Analgesic Effect of Intravenous Ketamine in Cancer Patients on Morphine Therapy
2000
Pain not responsive to morphine is often problematic. Animal and clinical studies have suggested that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists, such as ketamine, may be effective in improving opioid analgesia in difficult pain syndromes, such as neuropathic pain. A slow bolus of subhypnotic doses of ketamine (0.25 mg/kg or 0.50 mg/kg) was given to 10 cancer patients whose pain was unrelieved by morphine in a randomized, double-blind, crossover, double-dose study. Pain intensity on a 0 to 10 numerical scale; nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, and dry mouth, using a scale from 0 to 3 (not at all, slight, a lot, awful); Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (0-30); and arterial pressure…
Opioid Poorly-Responsive Cancer Pain. Part 2
2001
Basic research in experimental pain models may illuminate the phenomenon of cancer pain that is poorly responsive to opioid drugs. Research findings can be valuable in formulating new strategies in clinical practice. This review evaluated experimental observations in terms of the events that occur in cancer patients receiving opioid therapy for pain.
Mechanisms of neuropathic pain and their importance in Fabry disease
2007
UNLABELLED One of the most prominent features of Fabry disease is neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain occurs after neuronal damage. In contrast to inflammatory or trauma-related pain, which normally helps to maintain or restore body functions, neuropathic pain tends to become chronic, and must therefore be considered a 'pathological' pain. Neuropathic pain has usually been classified according to the aetiology of nerve damage: traumatic, inflammatory, cancer-related or metabolic (e.g. Fabry disease). However, use of this classification often results in inadequate therapy for neuropathic pain. Recent research has revealed distinct mechanisms that are responsible for neuropathic pain. These me…
Electrocatheter-mediated High-voltage Pulsed Radiofrequency of the Dorsal Root Ganglion in the Treatment of Chronic Lumbosacral Neuropathic Pain
2019
Objectives:Despite the interest in scientific community, there is still poor evidence about pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) efficacy in the treatment of neuropathic pain. In order to determine whether high-voltage PRF and epidural adhesiolysis (PRF-EA) showed better results than epidural adhesiolysis al
