Rationale and design of the EMBRACE STEMI Study: A phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability …
2012
Background Although significant efforts have been made to improve ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) outcomes by reducing symptom-onset-to-reperfusion times, strategies to decrease the clinical impact of ischemic reperfusion injury have demonstrated limited success. Bendavia, an intravenously administered mitochondrial targeting peptide, has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size and attenuate coronary no-reflow in experimental modelswhen given before reperfusion. Design The EMBRACE STEMI study is a phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolling 300 patients with a first-time anterior STEMI and an occluded proximal or mid–left anterior descendin…

Diagnostic Accuracy of a New Antigen Test for SARS-CoV-2 Detection
2021
Background and aims: Quick and reliable diagnostic tools play an important role in controlling the spread of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new cyto-salivary antigen test aimed at detecting the presence of antigens for SARS-CoV-2, as compared by the gold standard RT-PCR and a lateral flow test. Methods: A total of 433 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study and the sensitivity and specificity of the new cyto-salivary antigen test were calculated, as compared to the RT-PCR nasopharyngeal swab and to the lateral flow test. Results: A total of 433 samples were collected and tested at the Mediterranean Fair in Palermo from Febru…
Post-infectious myocardial Infarction: Does percutaneous coronary intervention improve outcomes? A propensity-score matched analysis
2020
Acute infection is a frequent trigger of myocardial infarction (MI). However, whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves post-infectious MI prognosis is a major but unsolved issue. In this prospective multicenter study from coronary care units, we performed propensity score-matched analysis to compare outcomes in patients with and without PCI for post-infectious MI with angiography-proven significant coronary stenosis (>
TCTAP A-059 Intrahospital and Long-term Outcomes After True Bifurcation Stenting
2019
Bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging and is associated with lower rate of procedural success and higher risk of complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate intrahospital and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent PCI for bifurcation lesions involving
RELACIÓN ENTRE EL PROCESAMIENTO SENSORIAL Y LA SEVERIDAD DE LA SINTOMATOLOGÍA EN UNA MUESTRA DE NIÑOS CON TEA
2014
Abstract:RELATION BETWEEN SENSORY PROCESSING AND SEVERITY OF SYMPTOMS IN A SAMPLE OF CHILDREN WITH ASDThe new DSM-5 criteria include the alterations of sensory perception as a new diagnostic criterion to consider in the ASD population. Considering the inclusion of this new approach, the purpose of this study is to compare the features of sensory processing among a group of children (from 5 to 8 years old) with and without ASD. In addition to this, in the case of the ASD group, possible relationships between the sensory processing and the severity of symptoms, assessed by the GARS-2, are analyzed. To do this, the parents of 84 children (41 with ASD diagnosis and 43 with typical development),…
Ultra-low contrast coronary angiography and zero-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy: step-by-…
2019
Contrast-induced nephropathy is a serious complication after intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media and is associated with numerous adverse outcomes. Its prevalence is particularly high in patients with multiple comorbidities who undergo coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Currently, the only effective method to prevent contrast-induced kidney injury is adequate hydration and a reduction of contrast volume during the intervention. Recently, new approaches aiming to minimize contrast usage have been proposed, i.e., ultra-low contrast angiography and zero-contrast PCI. However, neither tutorials for these techniques nor reviews of their outcome…

Advances in surfaces and osseointegration in implantology. Biomimetic surfaces
2015
The present work is a revision of the processes occurring in osseointegration of titanium dental implants according to different types of surfaces -namely, polished surfaces, rough surfaces obtained from subtraction methods, as well as the new hydroxyapatite biomimetic surfaces obtained from thermochemical processes. Hydroxyapatite’s high plasma-projection temperatures have proven to prevent the formation of crystalline apatite on the titanium dental implant, but lead to the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate (i.e., with no crystal structure) instead. This layer produce some osseointegration yet the calcium phosphate layer will eventually dissolve and leave a gap between the bone and …
Tiesnešu pienākums respektēt nevainīguma prezumpciju krimināllietas iztiesāšanā un saziņā ar masu medijiem
2021
Nevainīguma prezumpcija ieguvusi neaizvietojamu lomu kriminālprocesa norisē kā fundamentāls kriminālprocesa pamatprincips un daļa no pamattiesībām uz taisnīgu tiesu. Nevainīguma prezumpcija paredz pieņēmumu, ka persona nav vainīga noziedzīgā nodarījuma izdarīšanā, pirms tās vaina nav pierādīta likumā noteiktajā kārtībā. Neskatoties uz to, ka tiesnešiem ir pienākums respektēt nevainīguma prezumpciju, novērojamas situācijas, kad tiesneši savos izteikumos medijiem pārkāpuši nevainīguma prezumpcijas būtību. Darbā analizēti tiesnešu izteikumi, kas pārkāpj nevainīguma prezumpciju kopsakarā ar nacionālo normatīvo regulējumu, Eiropas Savienības prasībām un attiecīgi salīdzinātas lietas, kurām tiek …
