OSTEORADIONECROSIS OF THE JAW AFTER HEAD/NECK RADIOTHERAPY: CAUSES AND MANAGEMENT
2019
Radiation therapy in combination with surgery and chemotherapy is the most common oncologic treatment for head and neck tumors. This combination of different therapies rappresents a successful treatment, however there are adverse side effects, the most severe and serious is the osteroradionecrosis (ORN). The primary treatment for ORN is to prevent its occurrence thus the best preventive procedure is to insert all patients in to a pre-cancer treatment dental protocol.
Small fish in big ponds : Connections of green finance assets to commodity and sectoral stock markets
2022
We analyze return and volatility connectedness of the rising green asset and the well-established US industry stock and commodity markets from September 2010 to July 2021. We find that the time-varying return and volatility connectedness have exhibited serious crisis jumps. Some individual assets of both the green and commodity markets are in connection to the US sectoral stock market returns, and the volatility connections are even more common than the return connections. Furthermore, some financial and economic uncertainty indicators manifest positive impacts from the volatility of some `big pond markets for e.g. commodities, whereas some others affect the connectedness negatively.

Efectos del ibandronato sobre el metabolismo óseo y el perfil de riesgo cardiovascular en mujeres con osteoporosis postmenopáusica tratadas previamen…
2015
“Efectos del ibandronato sobre el metabolismo óseo y el perfil de riesgo cardiovascular en mujeres con osteoporosis postmenopáusica tratadas previamente con raloxifeno” La osteoporosis postmenopáusica es un problema sanitario mundial, dado que las fracturas por fragilidad suponen un aumento importante de morbimortalidad así como del coste económico. En los últimos años se han desarrollado nuevas terapias para el tratamiento de la osteoporosis, siendo por el momento los SERMs y los bisfosfonatos los fármacos más empleados. El Raloxifeno está aprobado como tratamiento de la osteoporosis postmenopáusica con el objetivo de prevenir las fracturas osteoporóticas. Ha demostrado un aumento progresi…
Enterobacter cloacae administration induces hepatic damage and subcutaneous fat accumulation in high-fat diet fed mice.
2018
Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota plays a significant role in obesity, insulin resistance and associated liver disorders. Family Enterobacteriaceae and especially Enterobacter cloacae strain B29 have been previously linked to obesity and hepatic damage. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Therefore, we comprehensively examined the effects of E. cloacae subsp. cloacae (ATCC® 13047™) administration on host metabolism of mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into HFD control, chow control, and E. cloacae treatment groups. The E. cloacae treatment group received live bacterial cells in PBS intragastrically twice a week, every ot…
KOSMOS 2017 Peru Side Experiment: nutrients, phytoplankton abundances, enzyme rates, photophysiology
2022
This data was collected during an short-term incubation experiment in March 2017 that investigated the response of a surface plankton community to upwelling. This experiment was carried in the framework of the SFB754-funded KOSMOS mesocosm study that took place in La Punta, Callao, Peru between February-April 2017. A total of six different treatments were used to disentangle chemical and biological characteristics of deep water that influence surface plankton blooms: 2 different deep water sources with different nutrient concentrations; 3 treatments to distinguish the effects of inorganic nutrients, organic nutrients and deep water microbial populations. Measured variables include inorganic…
Sul fondamento della non punibilità nei casi di necessità giudiziaria (art. 384, primo comma, CP)
2010
L''articolo analizza le ragioni soggiacenti alla "causa di non punibilità" (art. 384, primo comma, c.p.) per cui non si è puniti qualora si commettano alcuni reati contro l''amministrazione della giustizia (ad es.: favoreggiamento) per salvare sé o un prossimo congiunto da un grave nocumento nell''onore o nella libertà. Vi si critica, in particolare, l''idea corrente che la norma abbia una ratio scusante (legata ora alle passioni dell''agente, ora al conflitto motivazionale in cui questi verserebbe). Vi si mostra come - anche se solo in parte - la norma si inscriva invece nel più generale disegno del codice Rocco di tutelare l''unità della famiglia. Vi si sostiene, infine, che, anche per qu…
Evolución a doce años de la técnica 3-S Safenectomía: Estudio de la recidiva varicosa
2015
INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: La safenectomía clásica ha sido el tratamiento quirúrgico más ampliamente utilizado para el tratamiento de las varices tronculares, que son las más severas, sin embargo, se asocia con un alto porcentaje de recidivas. La sección de la unión safenofemoral o safenopoplítea y de las venas colaterales del cayado se ha visto que puede entrañar el desarrollo de neovasos debido a la dispersión de células endoteliales y disección de linfáticos durante la intervención, además de alterar la función fisiológica de drenaje venoso de esta zona. La técnica 3s-safenectomía es una técnica mixta que combina la esclerosis intraoperatoria del cayado con espuma a través de un cateter, …
Pauperem praeferam: Beneficentia e dono ai poveri tra Cicerone e Seneca
2018
L’articolo si propone di esaminare il significato specifico della beneficentia a Roma antica in rapporto alla rivalutazione del ruolo degli inopes come destinatari delle forme di liberalitas all’interno della rappresentazione fornita da Cicerone nel De officiis e da Seneca nel De beneficiis. Se Cicerone rivendica l’utilità del dono ai poveri (purché meritevoli) evidenziando come esso comporti un ritorno non solo in termini di riconoscenza ma anche di gloria (Off. 2, 63; 69-71), Seneca si serve dell’apologo di Eschine (Ben. 1, 8-9) per dimostrare come il pauper, benché privo di mezzi, possa trovare in se stesso le risorse più adeguate al contraccambio virtuoso. Seneca fa un passo ulteriore t…
La vita degli oggetti: il ruolo della cosa donata in Seneca
2014
This paper highlights the very active role of objects in the practice of gift exchange, focusing on the representation of munus and donum which emerges from Seneca's De beneficiis and Medea's tragedy. Examining the function of the gift and its cultural patterns permits a critical comparison with anthropological studies concerning the theory of the spirit of the gift (hau) formulated by Marcel Mauss and the theme of inalienable gifts, elaborated by Annette Weiner. Such an analysis emphasizes the objects' propensity to stimulate the memory of the receiver and to arouse his gratitude. Moreover, the gift, imbued with the giver's identity, is suitable to replace him not only in gift-giving relat…
The Prognostic Characteristics and Recurrence Patterns of High Grade Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer: A Large Retrospective Analysis of a Tertiary Ce…
2023
High grade endometrioid endometrial cancer (HGEEC) is a heterogeneous group of tumors with unclear prognostic features. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the independent risk factors for recurrence and mortality and to describe the recurrence patterns of HGEEC. Ninety-six consecutive cases of HGEEC treated with primary surgery in a single Tertiary Center were retrospectively reviewed. Clinicopathological and treatment details were recorded, and all patients were closely followed up. Disease-free, overall and cancer-specific survival rates were 83.8%, 77.8% and 83.6%, respectively. Cervical stromal involvement was independently related to recurrence (HR = 25.67; 95%CI 2.95–223.30; …
