A Diet for Dopaminergic Neurons?
2009
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, which unfortunately is still fatal. Since the discovery of dopamine (DA) neuronal cell loss within the substantia nigra in PD, the past decades have seen the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the degenerative process advance at a very impressive rate. Nevertheless, there is at present no cure for PD. Although there are no proven therapies for prevention, a large body of evidence from animal studies has highlighted the paramount role of dietary factors in counteracting DA degeneration. Consistently, associations between the risk of developing PD and the intake of nutrients, individual fo…

Cultural and socio-economic impacts of Mediterranean marine protected areas
2000
Marine protected areas (MPAs) may be important for protecting the marine environment, but they may also have substantial socio-cultural impacts about which very little is currently known, or acknowledged. In the Mediterranean, few data are available on the socio-economic consequences of MPAs. The present study reviews the existing data on MPAs in Spain, France, Italy and Greece. A general increase in tourist activities in Mediterranean MPAs is evident, as are increases in the abundances of larger fish species, although there are no data indicating yields for fisheries increase adjacent to MPAs. A large increase in the number of divers and vessels using MPAs has already had impacts on natura…
Effekte von Ketamin bei globaler zerebraler Ischämie
1997
This review focuses on the significance of S-(+)-ketamine as a neuroprotective agent. Evidence in the literature supporting or contradicting a neuroprotective or even therapeutic role of ketamine in global cerebral ischaemia is critically reviewed, and data from an ongoing study in a rat global cerebral ischaemia model (15 min ischaemia with S(+)-ketamine administered 15 min after reperfusion) are reported. The number of experimental studies available so far limited, however, and therefore results cannot be considered conclusive at the present time. Only at higher ketamine dosages was protection found reliably, especially in models of complete forebrain ischaemia lasting over 10 min. In our…
Ketamine in acute phase of severe traumatic brain injury “an old drug for new uses?”
2021
AbstractMaintaining an adequate level of sedation and analgesia plays a key role in the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI). To date, it is unclear which drug or combination of drugs is most effective in achieving these goals. Ketamine is an agent with attractive pharmacological and pharmacokinetics characteristics. Current evidence shows that ketamine does not increase and may instead decrease intracranial pressure, and its safety profile makes it a reliable tool in the prehospital environment. In this point of view, we discuss different aspects of the use of ketamine in the acute phase of TBI, with its potential benefits and pitfalls.
Environmental Protection as a Trojan Horse of Criminal Law in the European First Pillar? A new Statement of the ECJ
2008
Dopo la storica sentenza del 13 settembre 2005, la Corte di Giustizia è intervenuta nuovamente a definire il riparto delle competenze tra Unione e Comunità in materia di diritto penale, annullando anche la decisione quadro sul rafforzamento della cornice penale per la repressione dell’inquinamento provocato da navi (caso C-440/05, Commissione c. Consiglio). Due erano le questioni fondamentali che attendevano una risposta da parte della Corte di Giustizia: 1) l’ammissibilità di direttive a contenuto penale per settori ulteriori rispetto a quello specifico della tutela dell’ambiente; 2) la definizione delle competenze della Comunità nella scelta del contenuto delle norme penali. Sul secondo p…

The boundless increase of people suffering from an Eating Disorder (ED), makes necessary to develop measures related to other factors, in order to overcome the ones characterized of being strictly sanitary.

Therefore, the fight against this social illness requires legal actions in order to prevent it from g…
