Reshaping civic space: some remarks on the transformations of the towns of Roman Sicily in the late Republic and early Empire
2018
Recent scholarship pointed out how the towns of Sicily experienced wide urbanistic and architectural transformations during the Hellenistic period. After the long debate on the chronology of the phenomena of material growth and dense urbanization shown by the archaeological record, that previously had been assigned exclusively to the Early Hellenistic period, it’s now generally accepted that several cities, especially in North-Western Sicily, reshaped their urban panoplia after the Roman conquest of the island, in the 2nd-1st centuries B.C., renovating extensively both civic and private buildings. Less known are the further transformations of the urban landscape between the late Republican …
Halaesa Arconidea (Tusa, Messina). Primi risultati dagli scavi delle fortificazioni, settore nord-est.
2023
This report describes the activities and results of two years of archaeological excavations carried out by the University of Palermo at the site of Halaesa, in northern Sicily. The excavations revealed the structure of the ancient city walls (maybe built in two different phases, during the Late Hellenistic/Early Roman peri-od) and the presence of a tank close to the wall, connected to the defense sistem.
Pneumococcal vaccination in celiac disease
2019
Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disorder associated with gluten exposure in genetically predisposed subjects. Areas covered: Infectious disease is one of the causes of morbidity and mortality in CD patients. Invasive streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a particularly dangerous morbid condition in both the general population and celiac patients. Pneumococcal vaccination is the most effective means for its prevention. Expert opinion: In CD, evaluation of spleen function should be useful to select patients who may benefit from vaccination to reduce the risk of pneumococcal disease. Different strategies could be employed: physicians could search for signs of hypos…
Selenium and Autoimmune Thyroiditis
2019
The essential mineral, selenium, is of fundamental importance to human health. As a constituent of selenoproteins, selenium has structural and enzymic roles, in the latter context being best-known as an antioxidant and catalyst for the production of active thyroid hormone. Selenium is needed for the proper functioning of the immune system. An elevated selenium intake may be associated with reduced cancer risk
SELENIUM AND AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS
2023
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element of pivotal importance to human health. Se is incorporated into selenoproteins (SePs) which have pleiotropic effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and in the production of active thyroid hormone. These findings may explain the relationship between Se deficiency and pathogenesis of various human diseases including thyroid disorder. In line with these observations, the therapeutic effectiveness of Se supplementation has already been reported in patients with various thyroid diseases. However, there are still controversial data about the optimal dose of Se to be administered, as well as the duration and efficacy of treatment an…
DESCRIZIONE DI UN CASO DI LESIONE REVERSIBILE DELLO SPLENIO DEL CORPO CALLOSO IN PAZIENTE CON MONONUCLEOSI INFETTIVA DA COINFEZIONE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRU…
2013
SCOPO Presentiamo un caso di encefalite virale con lesione reversibile dello splenio del corpo calloso (SCC) in un ragazzo di 16 anni con mononucleosi infettiva da coinfezione Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) e Citomegalovirus (CMV). MATERIALI E METODI Il paziente, a causa della comparsa improvvisa di stato confusionale, irrigidimento e movimenti involontari alternati a tremori in corso di mononucleosi infettiva, giungeva in PS, dove eseguiva una TC encefalo (Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS+ - 128 strati) in condizioni di base ed in tecnica sequenziale, che non evidenziava reperti significativi. Veniva quindi ricoverato con il sospetto di encefalite virale e, il giorno successivo, veniva sottoposto a…
Sicilia ed Egitto in età ellenistica: riflessioni sulle relazioni artistico-culturali fra Siracusa e Alessandria
2015
During the Early Hellenistic age (late 4th and 3rd centuries) the relationships between Sicily and Egypt are above all based on the strong political, economic and cultural links between Syracuse and Alexandria. Literary sources and few material remains testify how the kings of Syracuse (Agathocles, and later Hieron II and his offsprings) follow mainly Ptolemaic models in “staging” their kingship with well-appointed architectural sceneries, and in adopting some distintive status symbols and a luxurious style of living (with the related artifacts, like silver tableware, jewels, “royal” dress, but also banqueting-halls, furnishings, mosaics, royal portraits, etc.). During 3rd century BCE local…

ChemInform Abstract: Solvent-Dependent Facile Synthesis of Diaryl Selenides and Biphenols Employing Selenium Dioxide.
2016
The reaction of phenols (I) with selenium dioxide in pyridine leads to diaryl selenides (IIa-d), whilst the reaction in acetic acid gives rise to biphenols (III).
