Genotype patterns at CLU, CR1, PICALM and APOE, cognition and Mediterranean diet: the PREDIMED-NAVARRA trial.

2014

The traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has shown beneficial effects on cognitive decline. Nevertheless, diet–gene interactions have been poorly evaluated. We aimed to investigate diet–gene interaction in the PREDIMED-NAVARRA randomized trial. A total of 522 participants (67 ± 6 years at baseline) enrolled in the PREDIMED-NAVARRA trial were randomly allocated to one of three diets: two MedDiets (supplemented with either extra-virgin olive oil or nuts) or a low-fat diet. They were evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) after 6.5 years of intervention. Subjects were genotyped for CR1-rs3818361, CLU-rs11136000, PICALM-rs3851179 and Apolipo…

Chiaroscuri della mediazione penale nel 'rito di pace'

2010

Nel processo penale irrompe una nuova logica: quella della «relazione diadica tra ‘aggressore e aggredito’», che sembrerebbe «‘l’orizzonte di senso’ del rito innanzi al giudice di pace per i reati perseguibili a querela, contribuendo, così, a scolpire un nuovo modello di ‘giustizia sociale’, il cui paradigma connotativo è la mediazione, vero quid novi visibile in filigrana nella struttura del d.lgs. n. 274/2000». Tuttavia non pochi sono i chiaroscuri del nuovo congegno che l'Autrice mette in risalto.

Schlesien als Brücke - aber wohin? Vielfache Dimensionen einer äußerst beliebten Metapher

2020

Artykuł prezentuje różnorodne aspekty użycia metafory pomostu w odniesieniu do Śląska, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Górnego Śląska. Region ten jest przedstawiany metaforycznie jako pomost pomiędzy Polską a Niemcami oraz mieszkańcami obu krajów. Szczególna rola w tworzeniu tych więzi przypada mniejszości niemieckiej, która jest częstokroć określana jako pomost. Metafora ta jest rozszerzana o kolejne płaszczyzny znaczeniowe, jak np. pomost do Europy czy pomost między narodami. Autorka zauważa jednak, że Śląsk nie jest jedynym regionem pretendującym do bycia pomostem. Także inne europejskie miasta, regiony, jak i całe państwa chcą być postrzegane w tej roli.

Crisis, Continuity, and Change in European Union Institutions: An Introduction

2020

This section offers an overview of how EU institutions have been affected by crises and how they have coped with them. The section finds that EU institutions have responded to polycrisis mainly by “muddling through” based on familiar ways of governing and by introducing incremental changes, and in some cases, also heading forward with new institutional arrangements or structures. The section hardly finds evidence of institutional breakdown or even of minor reductions in the role of EU institutions—either vis-a-vis other EU institutions or vis-a-vis member state institutions. To the contrary—the EU institutions have proven to be resilient and able to deal with crises by drawing on their alre…

Unsolved questions and preferred solution about living will

2018

Abstract Background Ethical problems about end-of-life medicine include a variety of issues approached in different ways by physicians and, more recently, special emphasis to this kind of ethical issues and possible answers has done by Italian National Ethical Committee in the issue named “Deep and continuous palliative sedation in the imminence of Death” (January, 2016). The debate is very critical in Intensive Care Units and Cancer Wards, where health care professionals face-off with terminally-ill patients is an outright routine; the Authors investigated their medical knowledge and ethical perception about patient critical and terminal condition to discuss the most relevant conclusions. …
