Differential Effects of Exercise on Tibial Shaft Marrow Density in Young Female Athletes
2013
Increased mechanical loading can promote the preferential differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblastogenesis, but it is not known whether long-term bone strength-enhancing exercise in humans can reduce marrow adiposity.Our objective was to examine whether bone marrow density (MaD), as an estimate of marrow adiposity 1) differs between young female athletes with contrasting loading histories and bone strengths and 2) is an independent predictor of bone strength at the weight-bearing tibia.Mid-tibial MaD, cortical area (CoA), total area, medullary area, strength strain index (SSI), and cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) (total, endocortical, midcortical, …
Is abdominal compression a useful stimulation test for analysis of lower esophageal sphincter function?
1984
The change in pressure of competent and incompetent lower esophageal sphincter (LES) due to abdominal compression is still a controversial subject. Therefore, we studied the effect of sustained (SAC) and intermittent (IAC) abdominal compression on lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) in normals (N), patients with hiatus hernia (HH), and patients with scleroderma (S). When resting lower esophageal sphincter pressure exceeded 15 mm Hg, response to SAC and IAC was similar in patients with HH and in normals. On the other hand when basal LESP was below 15 mm Hg, stimulated sphincter pressure during IAC was significantly lower than during SAC. Values recorded during SAC were also falsely hi…
Surgical outcomes of diaphragmatic resection during cytoreductive surgery for advanced gynecological ovarian neoplasia: A randomized single center cl…
2022
Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OC) represent nearly 4% of gynecologic malignancies and it is often diagnosed at advanced stage. Diaphragmatic surgery, a fundamental step of advanced stage ovarian cancer (ASOC) debulking surgery, is associated with a high post-operative complication incidence, which is supposedly reduced with thoracostomy tube placement. We assessed the role of intra-operative thoracostomy tube placement, as a prevention measure for post-operative complications, after diaphragmatic resection. Methods: This was a single center prospective randomized trial. Ovarian cancer patients, who underwent mono-lateral diaphragmatic resection, were randomized 1:1 into two arms. Arm A incl…
Abscess of the orbit arising 48 h after root canal treatment of a maxillary first molar
2006
Aim To discuss a rare, but severe complication arising following routine root canal treatment. Summary An orbital abscess is reported that occurred following routine root canal treatment. A young, healthy female patient, with no history of chronic paranasal infection had undergone root canal treatment of the right maxillary first molar. On hospital admission, she presented with extensive periorbital swelling and discreet diplopia. Computed tomography imaging identified massive purulent sinusitis and subsequent involvement of the orbit via the inferior and medial orbital wall within 48 h after completion of root canal treatment. Immediate surgical drainage of the maxillary sinus and the or…
Laparoscopic En Bloc Right Diaphragmatic Peritonectomy for Diaphragmatic Endometriosis According to the Sugarbaker Technique
2016
Abstract Study Objective To evaluate the feasibility of a novel laparoscopic procedure for complete eradication of diaphragmatic endometriosis (DE). Design A retrospective multicenter study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2). Setting University tertiary referral centre. Patients A consecutive series of 9 women with DE. Interventions Laparoscopic en bloc eradication using Sugarbaker's peritonectomy technique with or without diaphragmatic resection for DE. All surgical procedures were performed by the same surgeon in 2 tertiary referral centers (Charite University, Berlin, Germany, and Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Foundation John Paul II, Campobasso, Italy). Measurements an…
Numerical approach to problems of gravitational instability of geostructures with advected material boundaries
1998
SUMMARY We present a numerical approach for solving 2-D mantle flow problems where the chemical composition changes abruptly across intermediate boundaries. The method combines a Galerkin-spline technique with a method of integration over regions bounded by advected interfaces to represent discontinuous variations of material parameters. It allows direct approximation of a natural free surface position, instead of a posteriori calculation of topography from the normal stress at the upper free-slip boundary. We formulate a model where a viscous incompressible fluid filling a square box is divided into layers (not necessarily horizontal) by advected boundaries, across which the density and vi…

Aiap Design Per, International Graphic Design Week è la grande manifestazione itinerante curata da Aiap, Associazione italiana design della comunicazione visiva*, che nella settima edizione, dopo essersi svolta a Napoli, Bologna, Cagliari, Treviso, Genova e Milano, approda a Roma dove continua a mostrare le sue peculiarità, che si affrontano come in un rinnovato ma pacato duello. Aiap Design Per, International Graphic Design Week – this year at the 7th edition – is the major travelling event organised by Aiap, Italian Association of Visual communication Design* which, after Naples, Bologna, Cagliari, Treviso, Genoa and Milan, finally reaches Rome with all its peculiarities, which confront o…
A systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of xenograft to prevent periodontal defects after mandibular third molar extraction.
2021
Background To evaluate the use of guided bone regeneration with xenograft to prevent periodontal defect in the distal aspect of the second molar after the surgical removal of the mandibular third molar. Material and Methods Three electronic databases (Pubmed, Cochrane Library and Scopus) were searched in April 2020. Randomized clinical trials in non-smokers and healthy patients, with at least six months follow-up, comparing periodontal probing depth, clinical attachment level, alveolar bone level and adverse events were selected by two independent investigators. The risk of bias assessment of the selected studies was evaluated by means of the Cochrane Collaboration’s Tool. Finally, a meta-a…
Subglacial bed deformation and dynamics of the Apriķi glacial tongue, W Latvia
2011
Saks, T., Kalvans, A. & Zelcs, V. 2012 (January): Subglacial bed deformation and dynamics of the Apriķi glacial tongue, W Latvia. Boreas, Vol. 41, pp. 124–140. 10.1111/j.1502-3885.2011.00222.x. ISSN 0300-9483. We evaluate the glacial dynamics and subglacial processes of the Apriķi glacial tongue in western Latvia during the Northern Lithuanian (Linkuva) oscillation of the last Scandinavian glaciation. The spatial arrangement of glacial bedforms and deformation structures are used to reconstruct the ice dynamics in the study area. The relationship between geological structures at the glacier bed and the spatial distribution of drumlins and glacigenic diapirs, on the one hand, and the permeab…
12 Houses of Kazunori Fujimoto
2010
Il testo introduce alla pubblicazione dei progetti di case dell’architetto giapponese Kzunori Fujimoto. Il saggio restituisce una poetica sul progetto di architettura contemporaneo mettendo in risalto il rapporto tra modernità e tradizione, i contesti a cui il progetto deve tentare di dare una interpretazione. La produzione dell’architetto viene letta nell’ambito delle tematiche generali dell’architettura contemporanea in Giappone, attraverso una chiave di lettura legata al concetto di appropriatezza.
