Implicación de los receptores TLR4 en el daño cerebral causado por el consumo de alcohol
2012
El abuso de alcohol puede causar daño cerebral y en ciertos casos cursa con neurodegeneración, aunque los mecanismos moleculares de estos efectos se desconocen. El Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC) ha sido considerado, hasta muy recientemente, como un sistema inmunológicamente privilegiado (Galea et al., 2007). Sin embargo, estudios de los últimos años indican que el cerebro coordina y regula numerosos aspectos de la respuesta inmune innata, y que la inflamación representa un factor crítico y esencial para muchas enfermedades del SNC, como son las enfermedades neurodegenerativas (Wild et al., 2008). Igualmente, la respuesta del sistema inmune innato también desempeña un papel crucial en el dañ…
Symptom variability and control in COPD: Advantages of dual bronchodilation therapy
2017
Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by usually progressive development of airflow obstruction that is not fully reversible. While most patients will experience symptoms throughout the day or in the morning upon awakening, many patients do not experience their symptoms as constant but report variability in symptoms during the course of the day or over time. Symptom variability adversely affects patients' health status and increases the risk of COPD exacerbations. Methods We examined data from the literature on symptom variability and control in patients with COPD, with focus on the use of inhaled bronchodilator therapy wi…
'Opera e declamazione teatrale in Italia nel Diciottesimo secolo. Convergenze e problemi'
2014
The fulfilment of the operatic reform, managed by Christoph Willibald Gluck and his librettist Ranieri Calzabigi in 1760s’ Vienna, is a well-known topic. This event, whose seeds date back to the 1740s, has been examined according to theatrical and literary experiences in France and Italy. However, the question of acting influence on opera can be reconsidered at the light of the latest discovery of symbols collected and labelled as drammatica – metodo italiano. Engraved in some writings, this set of signs is often connected to music and offers the matter for a new critical survey about the discourse on music declamation before and after Calzabigi. From the 1830s onwards the theory of acting …
The Reform of the Rappresentativa: Roots and Routes of a National Art
2015
Curated Panel: Italian Acting I explore the remarkable role that the reform of the old Rappresentativa played in the years of Risorgimento, and examine the differences of application of the declamatory symbols in the old Rappresentativa and in the New Style that is referred as la romantica, or Drammatica, analysing Gustavo Modena, Adelaide Ristori and Gaetano Gattinelli’s prompt books and works. Gustavo Modena reformed the old style of the Rappresentativa and was an unforgettable patriot of Risorgimento as well as Ristori and Gattinelli. I explain how Modena steered the drammatica along a new course in the first fifty years of the nineteenth century and shaped the method giving it the goal …
Focal confluent fibrosis in cirrhotic liver: natural history studied with serial CT.
2009
The objective of this study was to assess the long-term natural history of focal confluent fibrosis in cirrhotic liver with CT.Two radiologists retrospectively reviewed in consensus 118 liver CT examinations in 26 patients (19 men, seven women; age range, 32-68 years; mean age, 50 years) performed over approximately 6 years. Helical CT scans were obtained before and 30-35 and 65-70 seconds after injection of 125-150 mL of contrast medium at a rate of 4-5 mL/s. Proof of cirrhosis was based on liver transplantation (n = 6), biopsy (n = 9), or imaging findings (n = 11). The number, location, and attenuation of fibrotic lesions and presence of trapped vessels were evaluated. Variation of hepati…
Endophthalmitis following penetrating eye injuries
1997
Postinjury endophthalmitis is the eye infection with the worst prognosis. A retrospective 9-year study was made of penetrating eye injuries, with an analysis of the incidence of infection and its relation to the type of wound and the presence of intraocular foreign bodies. There were 403 cases of penetrating eye injury; of these, 233 affected the cornea and 170 involved the posterior pole. Intraocular foreign bodies were present in 40 cases. Endophthalmitis developed in 4.2% of cases (17/403), and was more common in patients with posterior pole involvement (7%) than in purely corneal trauma (2.1%) (p = 0.03, Chi-square). Infection was in turn more frequent in the presence of intraocular for…
Clinical significance of interleukin-1 genotype in smoking patients as a predictor of peri-implantitis: A case-control study
2015
Background: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and so it might be useful to detect high-risk cases of peri-implantitis. It has been reported that IL-1 polymorphisms and smoking habit have a synergic effect, increasing the incidence of peri-implantitis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between IL-1 gene polymorphisms and peri-implantitis in smoking patients. Material and Methods: A case-control study was performed in 27 patients with peri-implantitis and 27 patients with healthy implants. All patients included were smokers. IL-1A-C889T, IL-1B+C3953T and IL-1RN+T2018C were identifie…
Did the Finnish depression of the early 1990s have a silver lining? : The effect of unemployment on long-term physical activity
2022
This paper studies the impact of long-term unemployment on physical activity. We examined the effects 6 and 15 years following a severe business cycle downturn in Finland over the period 1991–1994. The study sample comprised residents of Northern Finland. The unemployed individuals were 23–26 years old during the downturn. Physical activity, measured by MET minutes and meeting WHO guidelines, was higher 15 years later among those people who experienced the longest periods of unemployment in 1991–1994. Physical activity was somewhat lower among people with relatively shorter periods of unemployment. peerReviewed
Data from: Effects of undergrowth removal and edge proximity on ground beetles and vascular plants in urban boreal forests
2019
Urban forests are regularly managed for human safety and aesthetic reasons, but they are crucial habitat for many species. Removals of undergrowth occur commonly in these forests, yet the ecological consequences of these operations are poorly understood. We sampled ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and vascular plants along 20-m edge gradients in Finnish urban forests, in five stands treated 0.5−2.5 years earlier with undergrowth removal and in five untreated stands. We hypothesized that undergrowth removal and edge proximity would benefit opportunistic and open-habitat species, whereas shady-habitat species would be affected negatively. (1) Regarding carabids, diversity and evenness i…
