Emergent ultrafast phenomena in correlated oxides and heterostructures
2017
The possibility of investigating the dynamics of solids on timescales faster than the thermalization of the internal degrees of freedom has disclosed novel non-equilibrium phenomena that have no counterpart at equilibrium. Transition metal oxides (TMOs) provide an interesting playground in which the correlations among the charges in the metal $d$-orbitals give rise to a wealth of intriguing electronic and thermodynamic properties involving the spin, charge, lattice and orbital orders. Furthermore, the physical properties of TMOs can be engineered at the atomic level, thus providing the platform to investigate the transport phenomena on timescales of the order of the intrinsic decoherence ti…
Rifugiati: Voci della diaspora somala
2003
Acclaimed Somali writer Nuruddin Farah's non-fiction text is based upon a number of interviews to Somali refugees in four European nations historically close to his homeland - Italy, England, Sweden, Switzerland. Their voices intertwine, framed by that of the exile writer, providing a reconstruction of Somalia as a postcolonial nation first and a civil-war ridden failed state later.
Tutta colpa ... del cane?
2010
L'autrice nel commento della sentenza Cass. sez.IV, 23 settembre 2008, n.41021, che concerne un'ipotesi di lesioni conseguite all'omessa custodia di un cane, si sofferma sulla colpa ed in particolare sul giudizio di prevedibilità. Evidenzia come, in molti settori, tale giudizio, che pure richiede di essere specificato in relazione ai suoi presupposti applicativi, risulti ancora indispensabile, in quanto necessario per ricostruire la regola cautelare da applicare nel caso concreto.
De la standardisation à la normalisation de la gestion médicalisée à l'hôpital : L’apport de la méthode de compensation structurelle et conjoncturelle
1996
Utilization of GHM in budget allocation leads to a reduction of strategic behaviors and restores equity between hospitals. However, heterogeneousness of GHM, with subgroups, is also generating perverse effects. The contractual economical analysis, applied to the statistical modelization of Quantin et al. (1995), underlines how the opportunist behaviors can be reduced. As the PMSI is almost unanimously adopted and considered as an irreversible investment, this approach generates questions on ways to improve the tool. The ultimate goal is to move from standardized costs tonormalized (optimized) costs for maximum efficiency of the tool. Finally, this statistical analysis generates a financial …
Does Hysteroscopic Dissection of Partial Uterine Septum Represent a Risk Factor for Placental Abnormalities in Subsequent Pregnancy Compared with Con…
2022
Background: Hysteroscopic septum dissection (HSD) is thought to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, the available literature suggests that uterine surgery can cause placental abnormalities in subsequent pregnancies. Methods: A case–control study was performed at the University Medical Center of Ljubljana, Department of Human Reproduction, from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018. The primary outcome was the association between HSD and the occurrence of placental abnormalities. We included women who underwent HSD due to infertility. Age-matched women who underwent hysteroscopic surgery for other issues were considered as controls. In addition, we divided the groups according to…
Impact of Fragile X Syndrome on Their Families
2020
espanolEl objetivo del presente estudio es describir las alteraciones conductuales y emocionales en el sindrome de X fragil (SXF) y analizar las reperecusiones de tener un miembro con SXF en diferentes aspectos del funcionamiento familiar. Participaron 79 padres con un miembro con SXF y 80 padres con un miembro con desarrollo tipico. Los resultados mostraron que entre el 17% y el 66% de los ninos y adolescentes con SXF mostraron trastornos conductuales y emocionales significativos y menos comportamientos prosociales. Ademas, despues de controlar las dificultades emocionales y de comportamiento, nuestros resultados mostraron que las familias afectadas por SXF experimentaron un impacto mas ne…

Heparan sulfate levels in mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses.
2004
Glycosaminoglycans are accumulated in both mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and mucolipidoses (ML). MPS I, II, III and VII and ML II and ML III patients cannot properly degrade heparan sulphate (HS). In spite of the importance of HS storage in the metabolic pathway in these diseases, blood and urine HS levels have not been determined systematically using a simple and economical method. Using a new ELISA method using anti-HS antibodies, HS concentrations in blood and urine were determined in MPS and ML II and ML III patients. HS concentrations were determined in 156 plasma samples from MPS I (n = 23), MPS II (n = 26), MPS III (n = 24), MPS IV (n = 62), MPS VI (n = 5), MPS VII (n = 5), ML II (n = …
Pluripotent stem cells to model Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS): Current trends and future perspectives for drug discovery
2015
Progeria, or Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), is a rare, fatal genetic disease characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. This syndrome is typically caused by mutations in codon 608 (p.G608G) of the LMNA, leading to the production of a mutated form of lamin A precursor called progerin. In HGPS, progerin accumulates in cells causing progressive molecular defects, including nuclear shape abnormalities, chromatin disorganization, damage to DNA and delays in cell proliferation. Here we report how, over the past five years, pluripotent stem cells have provided new insights into the study of HGPS and opened new original therapeutic perspectives to treat the disea…
Epigenetic involvement in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: a mini-review.
2013
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare human genetic disease that leads to a severe premature ageing phenotype, caused by mutations in the <i>LMNA</i> gene. The <i>LMNA</i> gene codes for lamin-A and lamin-C proteins, which are structural components of the nuclear lamina. HGPS is usually caused by a de novo <i>C1824T</i> mutation that leads to the accumulation of a dominant negative form of lamin-A called progerin. Progerin also accumulates physiologically in normal ageing cells as a rare splicing form of lamin-A transcripts. From this perspective, HGPS cells seem to be good candidates for the study of the physiological mechanisms of ageing…
