An Atypical Case of Taravana Syndrome in a Breath-Hold Underwater Fishing Champion: A Case Report

2013

Dysbaric accidents are usually referred to compressed air-supplied diving. Nonetheless, some cases of decompression illness are known to have occurred among breath-hold (BH) divers also, and they are reported in the medical literature. A male BH diver (57 years old), underwater fishing champion, presented neurological disorders as dizziness, sensory numbness, blurred vision, and left frontoparietal pain after many dives to a 30–35 meters sea water depth with short surface intervals. Symptoms spontaneously regressed and the patient came back home. The following morning, pain and neurological impairment occurred again and the diver went by himself to the hospital where he had a generalized to…

Task-Specific Organic Salts and Ionic Liquids Binary Mixtures: A Combination to Obtain 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural From Carbohydrates

2019

The increase in energy demand and depletion of fossil fuels are among major issues of modern society. Valorization and transformation of raw materials in products of industrial value represents a challenge. This justifies the growing interest of scientific research towards the identification of suitable media and methodologies able to pursue above goals, paying attention to matter of sustainability. On this subject, we studied sulfonic-acid functionalized diimidazolium salts as catalysts for the conversion of fructose and sucrose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in an ionic liquid mixture. In general, using these salts allowed us to obtain 5-HMF in good yields from both substrates in mild…

Estudio farmacogenético del tratamiento del cáncer de mama basado en antraciclinas y taxanos

2016

Existe una importante variabilidad interindividual en la respuesta a los medicamentos que condiciona que no sea fácil predecir la efectividad o seguridad de un fármaco en un paciente concreto. La Farmacogenética (PGt) estudia el vínculo entre las variaciones en la secuencia de ADN de un paciente y su respuesta al tratamiento farmacológico. La variación de un único nucleótido puede tener consecuencias dramáticas, de modo que la identificación de variantes que alteren la función o expresión de las proteínas implicadas en la farmacocinética o farmacodinamia y su efecto final sobre la respuesta es el objetivo de la PGt. El Cáncer de Mama (CM) es el tipo de cáncer más frecuente en mujeres. A pes…

Chirurgia trans-cranica mediante ultrasuoni focalizzati ad alta intensità su guida RM: esperienza preliminare a 1,5T (prima paziente trattata)

2015

Presentiamo i risultati preliminari ottenuti con la prima istallazione italiana di un’apparecchiatura per la neurochirurgia funzionale mediante ultrasuoni focalizzati ad alta intensità su guida RM (trans-cranial MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery, tcMRgFUS); si tratta tra l’altro della prima apparecchiatura tcMRgFUS al mondo mai installata su uno scanner RM da 1,5T. Tale apparecchiatura è destinata a trattamenti di neurochirurgia funzionale di pazienti con tremore essenziale (Essential Tremor, ET), Parkinson idiopatico (Parkinson Disease, PD) prevalentemente tremorigeno e dolore neuropatico (Neuropa- thic Pain, NP). Sanno presentati i risultati ottenuti con i primi pazienti sottoposti …

Parental Trust in Teachers and Children’s Interest in Reading and Math: A Longitudinal Study

2021

This study investigated cross-lagged associations between parental trust in a child’s teacher and children’s academic interest across Grades 1–4 in primary school. Parents rated trust in their child’s teacher, and 576 children reported their interest in reading and math at each grade. The results showed that high parental trust in a child’s teacher predicted the child’s high interest in math. In addition, the child’s high interest in reading in Grade 2 was related to the father’s subsequent trust in the teacher. peerReviewed

Teachers’ work-related well-being in times of covid-19: the effects of technostress and distance learning

2022

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the first measures implemented in Italy was the transition from frontal teaching to e-learning. The sudden need to use technologies to perform their job has added a source of stress to teachers’ work, the so-called technostress. The difficulties experienced in this transition may also have affected the perception of work-related well-being, although other variables, such as the perception of the meaningfulness of work, could alleviate this sense of uneasiness. The study aims to examine the relationships between technostress, distance learning, pleasure in working and meaningful work perceptions among 219 teachers from different school …

La tecnica delle storie disegnate

2015

La valutazione psicodiagnostica nell’età dello sviluppo è assai complessa e problematica. E ciò per via dell’oggetto di osservazione – il bambino e l’adolescente – che presenta specifiche caratteristiche rispetto all’adulto. Occorre, innanzitutto, evidenziare l’importanza del concetto di processo di sviluppo per la comprensione dei bambini e degli adolescenti, scartando metodologie derivate dal lavoro con gli adulti e privilegiando, piuttosto, valutazioni che tengono conto della psiche infantile in continuo divenire, dei processi di cambiamento e della dimensione prognostica insita nell’atto diagnostico. Quando si parla di bambini e adolescenti viene, in sostanza, scardinato il vecchio conc…
