Smoking, diabetes, blood hypertension: possible etiologic role for Peyronie’s disease? Analysis in 279 patients with a control group in Sicily
2015
Objective: To assess the proportion of patients with Peyronie’s Disease (PD) and the possible association with its potential risk factors in the general population of the central and western Sicily in our weekly andrological outpatient clinic. Materials and methods: We recruited a sample of 279 consecutive patients consulting our andrological outpatient clinic. Two arms were created: the first one composed by PD patients (men with symptoms suggestive for PD), the second one composed by patients with other andrological diseases (control arm). For each patient we evaluated the age, cigarette smoking, diabetes, blood hypertension and erectile function. In the PD arm we administered validated q…
Optimising experimental research in respiratory diseases: an ERS statement
2018
Experimental models are critical for the understanding of lung health and disease and are indispensable for drug development. However, the pathogenetic and clinical relevance of the models is often unclear. Further, the use of animals in biomedical research is controversial from an ethical perspective.The objective of this task force was to issue a statement with research recommendations about lung disease models by facilitating in-depth discussions between respiratory scientists, and to provide an overview of the literature on the available models. Focus was put on their specific benefits and limitations. This will result in more efficient use of resources and greater reduction in the numb…
The symbiosis between Nicotiana tabacum and the endomycorrhizal fungus Funneliformis mosseae increases the plant glutathione level and decreases leaf…

Over time, anthropogenic activities have led to severe cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) pollution in several environments. Plants inhabiting metal(loid)-contaminated areas should be able to sequester and detoxify these toxic elements as soon as they enter roots and leaves. We postulated here that an important role in protecting plants from excessive metal(loid) accumulation and toxicity might be played by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. In fact, human exploitation of plant material derived from Cd- and As-polluted environments may lead to a noxious intake of these toxic elements; in particular, a possible source of Cd and As for humans is given by cigarette and cigar smoke. We investigated …

E' intrinseca alla forma dell'arte la figura di Maria a partire dalle catacombe sino al bizantino e al romanico, dall'umanesimo al rinascimento, dal barocco alla contemporaneità. Icona, umana e divina, della Figlia di Sion, che altre l'intelligenza degli artisti, immettendoli nel segreto di una donna che rivela nella carne il mistero del Logos.

"You look delicious" : food, eating, and hunger in Margaret Atwood's novels
2007
FM Johanna Lahikaisen naistutkimuksen väitöskirjan ””You look delicious”. Food, Eating, and Hunger in Margaret Atwood’s Novels” (”Näytät herkulliselta”. Ruoka, syöminen ja nälkä Margaret Atwoodin romaaneissa) tarkastustilaisuus. Vastaväittäjänä dosentti Päivi Kosonen (Tampereen yliopisto) ja kustoksena dosentti Eeva Jokinen. Kanadalainen Margaret Atwood on palkittu ja rakastettu kirjailija ympäri maailman. Atwood on todennut, että ruoka ja syöminen ovat elämämme perustavia ja ensimmäisiä asioita. Me syömme ennen kuin ymmärrämme kieltä, sukupuoltamme tai kansallisuuttamme. Ehkä hieman ilkikurisesti Atwood väittää, että ateriat ovat kirjallisuuden peruselementtejä: lähes yhtä yleisiä ja tärke…
