Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Bupleurum Fontanesii (Apiaceae) Growing Wild in Sicily and its Activity on Microorganisms Affecting Hist…
2016
Hydrodistillation of the flowers (BpFl) of and fruits (BpFr) of Bupleurum fontanesii Guss. ex Caruel gave two oils that were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The main components were α-elemol (16.7%), caryophyllene oxide (16.4%) and heptacosane (15.9%) in BpFl, and spathulenol (16.8%), caryophylladienol I (13.2%) and α-elemol (12.8%) in BpFr. A good antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms, including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger, all infesting historical art craft, was also determined.
Modified hemi-Fontan procedure on the beating heart
1998
the heart by infusing the cardioplegic solution under aortic occlusion by means of the balloon throughout the procedure. Even though the balloon catheter passes through the aortic valve, significant aortic valve insufficiency is not likely to occur because of the small caliber of the balloon catheter. We believe that the clinical application of this double-lumen aortic occlusion catheter will protect the myocardium in patients with a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm or distal descending aortic aneurysm who undergo the operation through the left thoracotomy with DHCA.
Arterial Stiffness and Its Relationship to Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Children and Young Adults with a Fontan Circulation
2019
There are no previous studies on arterial stiffness and its associations with cardiorespiratory fitness in young Fontan patients. Therefore, we examined the arterial stiffness and its relationship to cardiorespiratory fitness in children and young adults with a Fontan circulation. Altogether, 17 Fontan patients and 26 healthy controls (16 females and 27 males aged 8–40 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. The cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a cycle ergometer and was defined as the standard deviation scores (SDS) of peak oxygen uptake per body mass (VO2peak/kg) based on the national reference values and assessed with cardiopulmonary…
Niewolnik i władca przedmiotów : człowiek wobec rzeczy w prozie realistycznej
2020
Awans „rzeczy”, jaki nastąpił w literaturze doby realizmu, miał wiele przyczyn, między innymi naukowy światopogląd epoki i zainteresowanie materialnymi uwarunkowaniami egzystencji, rozszerzenie tematyki i werystyczną opisowość, obiektywizm i rzeczowość uszczegółowionej narracji. W rozległym kompleksie prozy realistycznej można przykładowo wyróżnić cztery sposoby czy modele funkcjonowania rzeczy: (1) rzecz w znaczeniu elementu boskiego i sensownego ładu świata, zgodnie jeszcze z tradycją metafizyczno-filozoficzną (np. przypadek biedermeierowskiej twórczości Adalberta Stiftera, gdzie „rzecz” jest terminem i pojęciem kluczowym, a pedantyczne katalogowanie przedmiotów swoistą obsesją narracji);…
Exercise as therapy for neurodevelopmental and cognitive dysfunction in people with a Fontan circulation: A narrative review
2023
People with a Fontan circulation are at risk of neurodevelopmental delay and disability, and cognitive dysfunction, that has significant implications for academic and occupational attainment, psychosocial functioning, and overall quality of life. Interventions for improving these outcomes are lacking. This review article discusses current intervention practices and explores the evidence supporting exercise as a potential intervention for improving cognitive functioning in people living with a Fontan circulation. Proposed pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning these associations are discussed in the context of Fontan physiology and avenues for future research are recommended.

Matières de table. Fantaisies gourmandes de Jacques Fontanille.
2021
Following the figurative trajectory of gustatory sensitivity in the work of Jacques Fontanille, three key moments stand out: (1) the entry through the sensory and the flavors, marked by the autonomy of the figurative dimension in the sensitive deployment of the flavor; (2) the putting to the test of the semiotic exploration in different fields of expression: at the table, through "the setting in plate", around the wine; (3) the figurative consistency of the food form as manifestation of a form of life, with its modalities and its modulations
Bidirectional Glenn and antegrade pulmonary blood flow: temporary or definitive palliation?
2008
Background We sought to investigate the role of the bidirectional Glenn with antegrade pulmonary blood flow in the surgical history of children with univentricular hearts. Methods A series of 246 patients, from three joint institutions, having univentricular heart with restricted but not critical pulmonary blood flow received a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with additional forward pulmonary blood flow. All patients have been studied according to their progression, or not, to Fontan operation. Two hundred and eight (84.5%) patients underwent bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis as primary palliation. Twenty patients (8.1%) with previous pulmonary artery banding were also enrolled in t…
Barwy melancholii w "Effi Briest" - czyli Theodor Fontane według Cranacha
2017
This article deals with a few parallels between the storyline of Fontane’s heroine, Effi Briest, and the famous Lucas Cranach’s painting, the Melancholy, which presents a symbolic female figurę dressed in red with an allegoric setting of pleasure and damnation. Both cases correspond with the rigorous protestant view of life suggesting close connection between sensual joy and the mortal sin of melancholy: the German Madame Bovary follows the same evolution as that indicated by Cranach’s allegory, she goes her tragic way from the redness of love-affair through the melancholie experience to the blackness of social damnation and, ultimately, death. The religious notions of resignation and escha…
