Plasma PAF-acetylhydrolase in patients with coronary artery disease: results of a cross-sectional analysis.

2003

Inflammation underlies both onset and perpetuation of atherosclerosis. Plasma lipoproteins transport the platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) with potentially anti-inflammatory activities. Our aim was to determine whether PAF-AH activity was associated with inflammatory markers and with coronary artery disease (CAD). PAF-AH activity and a panel of inflammatory mediators were measured in plasma of 496 patients with CAD and in 477 controls; 276 patients presented with stable angina pectoris and 220 with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Individuals within the highest quartile of PAF-AH activity had an 1.8-fold increase in CAD risk [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01 to 3.2; P = 0.…

Slight variations in components ratio affect odor pleasantness of a blending mixture

2009

International audience; Odors rely mainly on the perception of odorants mixtures but are commonly perceived as single undivided entities; nevertheless, the processes involved remain poorly explored. It has been reported that perceptual blending, based on configural olfactory processing, can lead odorant mixtures to give rise to an emergent odor quality not present in the components. Furthermore, very slight variations (just noticeable differences, jnd) in components concentrations were shown to be sufficient to modify the odor quality of a blending mixture. In the present study, we set out to examine whether jnd in components concentrations could also affect the odor pleasantness of a blend…

Venozās sistēmas izmaiņas pacientiem, kuri ārstēti ar jaunu inovatīvu metodi endovaskulārai GARU femorālo artēriju slēgumu ārstēšanai: PQ BYPASS

2020

PQ Bypass ir jauna un inovatīva metode pilnībā endovaskulārai femoropopliteālai šuntēšanai. Patlaban pasaulē ir pētījumi par PQ Bypass metodes, kur aprakstīta tās rezultāti arteriālajai sistēmai, bet nav atrodami pētījumi par PQ Bypass metodes ietekmi uz venozo sistēmu. Pētījuma mērķis ir izvērtēt PQ Bypass metodes ilgtermiņa ietekmi uz apakšējo ekstremitāšu venozo sistēmu. Materiāli un metodes: Prospektīvais pētījums tika veikts PSKUS Asinsvadu ķirurģijas centrā. Pētījumā tika analizēti 50 pacientu, kam ir C un D tipa bojājumi femoropopliteālajā segmentā pēc TASC II klasifikācijas, venozās sistēmas izmaiņas ilgtermiņā pēc PQ Bypass operācijas. Statistiskajām analīzēm tika izmantotas progra…

"La scrittura è un luogo irriducibile di libertà". Cose da pazzi di Evelina Santangelo

2014

The teen-ager adventure of Rafael, his tormented transition from youth to adulthood, takes place in the city of Palermo, a place in which «often the right is meant as a favour, where the common wealth is conceived as a private property» . The writing experience of Evelina Santangelo, fully included in the nest of literary tradition explored at the light of bachtinian principles, is outstretched , in Cose da pazzi, to «enlighten the others world trying to speak the others language» as the Russian writer would say. In this last novel «the others language» is above all the language of Rafael thoughts, in which there are layers of lexical and semantic shades,tones and slang of an environmental,…

Drainage inlets efficiency and its impact on pluvial flooding hazard evaluation uncertainty

2014

Flooding events in urban areas occur quite frequently as a consequence of rain events of lower intensity than the design one, even in case of correct network dimensioning. Inlets are in those cases the critical nodes, and efficient drainage is only ensured when care is taken on their appropriate design and positioning within the pluvial flood-prone areas. Classical approach for design and position of these hydraulic structures can result in high level of uncertainty in defining properly risk levels in urban areas. Further, evaluation of flood hazard in urban areas is made even more difficult if one considers that pluvial flooding can be caused by storm events characterised by a low return t…

G. MELI, La Buccolica

2013

Nella letteratura europea del Settecento l’antica tradizione della poesia pastorale conosce una ripresa vigorosa e viene reinterpretata alla luce di interessi del tutto moderni: la riflessione sull’ordine cosmico e il suo sistema di forze inaugurata dalle ricerche newtoniane, l’approccio filosofico allo studio del tempo naturale e del tempo storico (regolati entrambi da un andamento ciclico), la diffusione dei modelli di sviluppo economico fondati sulle teorie fisiocratiche. In questa nuova prospettiva si colloca anche il progetto de La Buccolica di Giovanni Meli, poema composto di egloghe e idilli in dialetto siciliano, suddiviso in quattro sezioni intitolate alle stagioni dell’anno e pubb…
