Mortality in the first 30 days following incident acute symptomatic seizures.
2005
Purpose: Very little is known about short-term mortality after acute symptomatic seizure. One study found an increased mortality in the first year after acute symptomatic seizure, like mortality following acute symptomatic status epilepticus. Methods: We studied mortality in the first 30 days after an acute symptomatic seizure in two cohorts. In Washington Heights, New York City, we reviewed the medical records of all adults aged 20 years and older seen at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center from January 1, 1990 through December 13, 1994 to identify incident acute symptomatic seizure. In Rochester, Minnesota, the medical records of all Rochester residents were reviewed to identify incident…
New York City, la più grande città del cibo italiano
2021
This work offers an analysis of Italian restaurants in New York City. Historical literature and anthropological has repeatedly highlighted the role that Italian emigration to the east coast plays of the United States and the spread of gastronomic clothes marked as Italian in foreign territory they had in the construction of a tricolor gastronomic effigy (in part. Montanari 2010; Cinotto 2001; Cecla 1998). This interdependence strengthens the relationship from a semiotic perspective with otherness as an indispensable condition for building an indigenous food identity and food stereotypies recognized as "typical". Tricolor food symbols such as pasta and pizza owe their nationalization, for th…
T-complex measures in bilingual Spanish-English and Turkish-German children and monolingual peers
2015
BackgroundLateral temporal neural measures (Na and T-complex Ta and Tb) of the auditory evoked potential (AEP) index maturation of auditory/speech processing. These measures are also sensitive to language experience in adults. This paper examined neural responses to a vowel sound at temporal electrodes in four- to five-year-old Spanish-English bilinguals and English monolinguals and in five- to six-year-old Turkish-German bilinguals and German monolinguals. The goal was to determine whether obligatory AEPs at temporal electrode sites were modulated by language experience. Language experience was defined in terms of monolingual versus bilingual status as well as the amount and quality of the…
Validation of the histologic risk model in a new cohort of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
2010
Background: Half of the patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) can be expected to fail therapy, indicating that more aggressive treatment is warranted for this group. We have developed a novel risk model that can become a basis for developing new treatment paradigms. Here we report on the performance of our model in a new multicenter cohort. Design: Eligible patients from 3 institutions (Montefiore Medical Center, University of Manitoba, and New York University Medical Center) were identified and pathology slides from their resection specimens were reviewed by Margaret Brandwein-Gensler; risk category was assigned as previously published. Kaplan-Meier analysis was perfo…
Cardiac Injury in COVID-19–Echoing Prognostication∗
2020
Background Myocardial injury is frequent among patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and is associated with a poor prognosis. However, the mechanisms of myocardial injury remain unclear and prior studies have not reported cardiovascular imaging data. Objectives This study sought to characterize the echocardiographic abnormalities associated with myocardial injury and their prognostic impact in patients with COVID-19. Methods We conducted an international, multicenter cohort study including 7 hospitals in New York City and Milan of hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who had undergone transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) and electrocardiographic…
Storie di giardini e storie di città
2021
Quanti modi ci sono per raccontare una storia, la storia di una città densa e plurima quale è New York City? Molte certamente dato che molti sono i quadri su cui ragionare. Una chiave di lettura interessante, e certamente differente da quelle che generalmente ritroviamo, è quella del ruolo che hanno avuto gli spazi verdi urbani, i giardini, a partire dai parchi storici, nella crescita della città di New York sia nei cinque distretti sia come sistema connettivo fisico e sociale. Il giardino, quindi, può essere visto come punto di collegamento fra l’uomo e il mondo in cui vive, dato che in tutte le epoche l’uomo ha sentito il bisogno di riconciliarsi con l’ambiente circostante, e si è così cr…
Cose dell'altro mondo
2022
Emigrato negli anni Trenta da Palermo in America, Ferdinando Sesti Lojacono fu corrispondente del Giornale di Sicilia con la rubrica "Lettere dall'America". A quasi cento anni di distanza, il volume curato da Flavia e Maurizio Schiavo consegna ai lettori una serie sorprendente di scritti sofisticati, ironici e profondi, che mettono in prospettiva nuove forze economiche, trasformazioni sociali e urbane, modi di abitare, mestieri e desideri. Cose dell'altro mondo, attraverso le quali situare in una prospettiva leggermente più ampia altri celebri racconti europei dell’America, da Le Corbusier a Baudrillard, sino alle narrazioni più recenti che utilizzano New York come metafora eterna di deside…
