One-Year Changes in Urinary Microbial Phenolic Metabolites and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes—A Case-Control Study
2022
The intake of polyphenols has been associated with a risk reduction of type 2 diabetes. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, the molecules that might be metabolically active after ingestion are only starting to be investigated regarding this metabolic disease. To investigate the association between one-year changes in urinary microbial phenolic metabolites (MPM) and the incidence of type 2 diabetes, we performed a case-control study using data and samples of the PREDIMED trial including 46 incident type 2 diabetes cases of 172 randomly selected participants. Eight urinary MPMs were quantified in urine by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and used to assess their asso…

Il restauro delle masserie tra conservazione della materia, reintegrazione strutturale e riuso
2010
I contenuti sono relativi all'intervento in un'architettura rurale che è tipica della campagna siciliana. I temi d'interesse sono la conservazione del carattere storico delle "masserie", talvolta allo stato di rudere, e la necessità di insediare nuove destinazioni d'uso e ricostruire la parti crollate in modo che risultino distinguibili. The contents are related to the intervention in rural architecture that is typical of the Sicilian countryside. Themes of interest are the conservation of the historic character of the "farms", sometimes in a state of ruin, and the need to establish new uses and rebuild the collapsed parts so that they are distinguishable.

KNOWLEDGE FOR RECOVER AND VALORIZATION OF SICILIAN RURAL ARCHITECTURE The Pintorna S. Barbara farm in the Madonie mountain area The Pintorna S. Barbara farm located in the territory of Geraci Siculo (PA), a small rural village in the Madonie area, represents a relevant example of rural architecture for his constructive and typological aspects, but also for the potential that it offers in a project of compatible recover. In the same way of other farms that marks the sicilian territory, this one at the moment is in an abandonment state because of the absence of mainteinance during the last year so that it risks to be ruined. The study wants to evidence the principal materic contructive, funct…
Le masserie delle Madonie: da simboli di abbandono a potenziali fattori di crescita di una "città a rete policentrica e diffusa"
2018
Le masserie delle Madonie: da simboli di abbandono a potenziali fattori di crescita di una “città a rete policentrica e diffusa” Il territorio montano delle Madonie, che ragionevolmente viene considerato una sub-regione della Sicilia Occidentale, si presenta come un territorio compatto dal punto di vista storico, culturale, economico ed architettonico al punto che, nel 2009, è nata una coalizione che ha portato alla formazione di una “città a rete formata da 28 comuni. Da sessant’anni a questa parte il comprensorio madonita vive un processo di erosione demografica in seguito a politiche di litoralizzazione dei centri di produzione, accentramento nei principali nuclei urbani dell’isola e all…

Production and turnover of organic matter in three southern European Fagus sylvatica L
1999
Above-ground biomass, litterfall and litter accumulation and decomposition at the soil surface were studied within three Mediterranean beech forests from Italy, France and Spain in order to better understand the recycling of elements associated with the turnover organic matter Above-ground tree biomass amounted to 131.9 Mg ha-1 at Etna (Italy), 134.2 Mg ha-1 at Sierra de la Demanda (Spain) and 223.9 Mg ha-1 at Mont Lozère (France). The highest amount of total litterfall was observed at Sierra de la Demanda (4.7 Mg ha-1 year-1), followed by the Mont Lozère (4.4 Mg ha-1 year-1) and Etna (3.9 Mg ha-1 year-1). Total organic matter accumulated on the soil surface in the three beech forests amoun…

Spinocerebellar ataxia: functional analysis of the stomatognathic system
2019
Background Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the cerebellum, especially in elderly individuals, cause impairment of motor coordination and quality of life. The presente study evaluated the electromyographic activity and thickness of the right and left masseter and temporal muscles, and the maximum molar bite force of individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia. Material and Methods Twenty-eight individuals were divided into two groups: those with (n=14) and without (n=14) spinocerebellar ataxia. Data on the masticatory muscles obtained from the electromyographic activity (resting, right and left laterality and protrusion), muscle thickness (maximal voluntary contraction and tensile strengt…
Masseter and temporalis muscle electromyography findings after lower third molar extraction.
2018
Background The main clinical application of electromyography is to detect abnormalities in muscle function, to assess muscle activity for purposes of recruitment, and in the biomechanics of movement. Objectives To analyze electromyography (EMG) findings for masticatory muscles during chewing following surgical extraction of lower third molars, and to determine any correlation between pain, inflammation, trismus, and the EMG data registered. Material and Methods This prospective study included 31 patients. Surface EMG was used to study masseter and temporalis muscle function before lower third molar extraction and 72 hours and seven days after surgery. Clinical variables, pain, inflammation,…
