Sorveglianza sanitaria su un gruppo di lavoratori esposti a vibrazioni mano-braccio
2007
Nei lavoratori esposti a rischio da vibrazioni mano-braccio è indispensabile un’efficace sorveglianza sanitaria in linea con la recente normativa in materia, a garanzia della salute e della sicurezza nei luoghi di lavoro. In particolare abbiamo esaminato un gruppo di soggetti addetti alla manutenzione di aree verdi applicando le linee guida più recenti e la vigente normativa in tema di prevenzione(1,3) . As concerns those workers exposed to a risk of hand-arm vibration, an efficacious sanitary monitoring is necessary, according to recent norms, in order to assure health and secu - rity in workplaces. We have examined a group of people assigned to the maintenance of green spaces, applying th…

MAVIE-Lab Sports: a mHealth for Injury Prevention and Risk Management in Sport
2018
International audience; Smart-phones technology and the development of mHealth (Mobile Health) applications offer an opportunity to design intervention tools to influence health behavior changes. The MAVIE-Lab is a mHealth application including a DSS (Desicion Support System) to assist in the personalized evaluation of HLIs (Home, Leisure and Sport Injuries) risk and to promote the adoption of prevention measures. MAVIE-Lab Sports will be the first module of the mobile application. The purpose of this PhD project is to improve a particular module of MAVIE-Lab, devoted to sports (MAVIE-Lab Sports), in different aspects: statistical modeling, design and ergonomics. It also aims to evaluate sy…
Italian Euromelanoma Day Screening Campaign (2005-2007) and the planning of melanoma screening strategies.
2011
Although no study has definitively shown that unfocused screening of skin cancer is effective, many campaigns have been organized with the aim of increasing awareness on melanoma risk factors. The objective of this study was to analyse the results of the Skin Cancer Screening Day in Italy during the period 2005-2007, to determine the priorities for melanoma control plans in a Mediterranean country. A total of 5002 patients were screened by dermatologists in 31 cities. Individuals who considered themselves to have many naevi and those with a family history of melanoma showed a higher number of common and atypical naevi. Ten melanomas, 20 basal cell carcinomas and two squamous cell carcinomas…
EmPeCemos: un programa multicomponente para la prevención indicada de los problemas de conducta y el abuso de drogas
2009
En la última década, un amplio número de investigaciones ha permitido constatar la existencia de trayectorias de desarrollo desadaptativas, asociadas a problemas de conducta de inicio temprano. Estas trayectorias, en las que se implica una compleja cadena de factores familiares, escolares y socioemocionales, dan lugar a desajustes comportamentales crónicos y severos, de difícil tratamiento, incluyendo comportamientos antisociales y abuso de drogas. Por ello, la investigación en prevención subraya la necesidad de una intervención temprana que, actuando sobre los individuos en alto riesgo y su entorno, permita detener el avance hacia patrones severos de desadaptación. En esta línea, se desarr…
Apoptotic activities of Mediterranean plants
2020
Medicinal plants from the Mediterranean region show great potential in the improvement of health and in the prevention of disease. Epidemiological studies indicate that some of these plants reduce the incidence of inflammatory diseases and cancer by inducing programmed cell death, thus arresting proliferation. These medicinal properties are related to the presence of compounds such as phenolics with antioxidant properties or nonphenolic compounds, including essential oils, terpenoids, or saponins. Our aim is to review role of different medicinal plants and phytochemicals in apoptosis and disease prevention and the mechanism of action implicated in these beneficial effects. Sin financiación …
Silymarin and Cancer: A Dual Strategy in Both in Chemoprevention and Chemosensitivity
2020
Silymarin extracted from milk thistle consisting of flavonolignan silybin has shown chemopreventive and chemosensitizing activity against various cancers. The present review summarizes the current knowledge on the potential targets of silymarin against various cancers. Silymarin may play on the system of xenobiotics, metabolizing enzymes (phase I and phase II) to protect normal cells against various toxic molecules or to protect against deleterious effects of chemotherapeutic agents on normal cells. Furthermore, silymarin and its main bioactive compounds inhibit organic anion transporters (OAT) and ATP-binding cassettes (ABC) transporters, thus contributing to counteracting potential chemor…

2017
International audience; Cet article interroge la notion de genre et ses acceptions multiples. Nous allons d’abord nous interroger sur cette notion pour comprendre les dynamiques de sa construction et de son évolution.
