German self-governance. Thirty years of constitutional and structural changes in reunified Germany
2022
Local government is one of the most important institutions of a democracy based on the nile of law in Germany. Its position and role were shaped immediately after the end of World War II. This paper aims to present and evaluate tire constitutional and structural changes that have taken place in German local government within the 30years of the post-unification period. The present study is based on the hypothesis that the constitutional and structural changes of German local government in the past 30years have aimed to make its bodies and institutions Work more effectively as well as to strengthen and deepen democracy, thus increasing its impact on the federal government. These changes have …
Parosteal osteosarcoma of the talus.
1995
A case of parosteal osteosarcoma in the very rare location of the talus is presented. The radiological, pathological, and clinical characteristics of parosteal osteosarcoma are described and the differential diagnosis discussed.
Manometric assessment of oesophageal involvement in progressive systemic sclerosis, morphoea and Raynaud's disease.
1982
SUMMARY Oesophageal function was studied by radiography and manometry in fifty-one patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), fourteen patients with morphoea, twelve patients with Raynaud's disease and twenty-one normal subjects. Upper oesophageal sphincter pressure was not affected. Peristaltic contractions of the upper third of the oesophagus were significantly decreased in PSS and morphoea, but the lower two-thirds were affected only in PSS. Lower oesophageal sphincter pressure was significantly decreased in PSS but was normal in morphoea and Raynaud's disease. There was a significant correlation between oesophageal dysfunction and the duration of PSS. Manometry was better than …
A possible susceptibility locus for bipolar affective disorder in chromosomal region 10q25--q26.
2000
In an attempt to identify susceptibility loci for bipolar affective disorder, we are currently conducting a systematic genome screen with highly polymorphic microsatellite markers at an average marker spacing of 10 cM in a series of 75 families, comprising 66 families from Germany, eight families from Israel, and one family from Italy. The families were ascertained through index cases with bipolar affective disorder. The distribution of diagnoses is as follows: 126 individuals with bipolar I disorder, 40 with bipolar II disorder, 14 with schizoaffective disorder of the bipolar type, 40 individuals with recurrent unipolar depression, 51 with a minor psychiatric diagnosis, and two individuals…
DIFFERENTIAL INFLUENCE OF PERIPHERAL AND SYSTEMIC SEX STEROIDS ON SKELETAL MUSCLE QUALITY IN PRE- AND POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN.
2011
Aging is associated with gradual decline of skeletal muscle strength and mass often leading to diminished muscle quality. This phenomenon is known as sarcopenia and affects about 30% of the over 60-year-old population. Androgens act as anabolic agents regulating muscle mass and improving muscle performance. The role of female sex steroids as well as the ability of skeletal muscle tissue to locally produce sex steroids has been less extensively studied. We show that despite the extensive systemic deficit of sex steroid hormones in postmenopausal compared to premenopausal women, the hormone content of skeletal muscle does not follow the same trend. In contrast to the systemic levels, muscle t…
A Classification of Palermo Historical Centre Heritage based on the local seismic response
2009
A very high density of monumental heritage falls within Palermo Historical Centre, an area characterized by high variability of near surface geology and soil physical-mechanical properties on a very short distance scale, even few meters. So, neighboring heritage elements can have a totally different hazard exposition. Within a project regarding Palermo area (Project 7T7, Cluster 29, funded by Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca, Italy) a very reliable high density stratigraphic-geotechnical dataset has been assembled, by means of a careful data reviewing process. This dataset has been stored in a Geographic Information System (GIS) application, named City-GIS, having all GIS functions…

Validación de la biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela como método de estadificación axilar postneoadyuvancia en pacientes con cáncer de mama y axil…
2021
La biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela (BSGC) es la técnica de elección para la estadificación axilar en pacientes con cáncer de mama que no reciben tratamiento neoadyuvante (NA), así como en aquellas con axila negativa (N0) al diagnóstico que reciben NA. En pacientes con afectación axilar al diagnóstico (N+) que reciben NA, la realización de BSGC todavía sigue generando debate, debido fundamentalmente a la mayor tasa de falsos negativos (TFN) reportada en los primeros estudios realizados, recomendando todavía la mayoría de guías actuales la realización de linfadenectomía axilar (LA). Algunos procedimientos recientemente descritos, como el marcaje del ganglio inicialmente afecto y su loc…
L’arcipelago territoriale delle Aree Interne: verso nuove forme di economia, società e sviluppo locale
2017
L’attuale fase di transizione dei modelli economici sta provocando fasi di instabilità, necessità di cambiamento/aggiornamento/adattamento nella sfera economica, nei processi di sviluppo e innovazione, nello stile di vita delle società e dei cittadini, nelle città e nei territori rurali. Questa instabilità si sta verificando sia nelle città sia nei territori interni caratterizzati da perdita demografica, elevato indice di invecchiamento e incapacità di soddisfare le nuove esigenze del mercato. Le Aree Interne rappresentano, pertanto, quei territori in cui un ripensamento del rapporto territorio/produzione nonché degli strumenti e delle politiche da attivare è sempre più impellente per la lo…
