Maintenance therapy in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
2005
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic condition. Symptom control and the maintenance of healing of erosive oesophagitis, if present, are important topics. In patients responding to a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and showing no treatment symptoms it is appropriate to consider long-term treatment strategies, whether continuous, intermittent or on demand. Maintenance PPI therapy is well tolerated for up to 10 years of continuous use. Furthermore, tachyphylaxis does not occur during long-term maintenance PPI therapy. Previous concerns about risks of long-term PPI therapy in Heliobacter pylori-negative or H. pylori-positive patients have not materialized, while no cases of intesti…
A stinging wasp in the stomach: accidental endoscopic diagnosis of a systemic anaphylactic reaction.

of a proton pump inhibitor and prokinetic treatment. Because of her medical history, an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy was performed. We discovered, in the proximalpartof theantrumonthegreater curvature, an intact dead wasp with its sting visible and an underlying slightly swollen red welt in the area of the sting

Differential regulation of hexameric and dodecameric hemocyanin from A. leptodactylus
2013
The oxygen binding properties of hemocyanins are regulated on a short time scale by effectors such as l-lactate, urate and protons, and on longer time scales by expression of the different types of subunits. For Astacus leptodactylus it was shown previously that acclimation to higher temperatures leads to increased levels of a 6-meric hemocyanin species, whereas at lower temperatures the 12-meric form prevails. Here we show that the temperature dependence of the two forms supports the idea, that the maintenance of high affinity towards oxygen is the driving force for the differential expression of these hemocyanins. Furthermore, the two different types of hemocyanin differ not only in the a…

Gas-phase ion chemistry of protonated melatonin
2005
The gas-phase ion chemistry of protonated melatonin has been investigated by mass spectrometric (MS) techniques involving chemical ionisation, fast atom bombardment and electrospray ionisation. Either naturally- occurring or collision-induced decomposition e-D derivatives obtained by exchange with D(2)O. The analysis of experimental results allows definite pathways for the formation of the ion at m/z 174 to be assigned and sheds some more light on the overall fragmentation pathways. Experiments on labelled derivatives evidenced H-D scrambling processes during fragmentation
Inorganic Mercury Sequestration by a Poly(ethylene imine) Dendrimer in Aqueous Solution
2015
The interaction of the G-2 poly(ethylene imine) dendrimer L, derived from ammonia as initiating core, with Hg(II) and HgCl4 2− was studied in aqueous solution by means of potentiometric (pH-metric) measurements. Speciation of these complex systems showed that L is able to form a wide variety of complexes including 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 3:2 metal-to-ligand species, of different protonation states, as well as the anion complexes ((H7L)HgCl4) 5+ and ((H8L)HgCl4) 6+ . The stability of the metal complexes is very high, making L an excellent sequestering agent for Hg(II), over a large pH range, and a promising ligand for the preparation of functionalized activated carbons to be employed in the remedi…
Fuel cell analytical modeling: Solving the trade-off between accuracy and complexity
2013
In this paper, a 5.5 kW Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell is modeled. The proposed analytical model is described and the parameters identification procedure is further discussed. Simulation results of all three sub-models are compared to test the accuracy of each one. A comparison between simulation and experimental results is provided as well validating the modeling approach.
Solar neutrino spectroscopy in Borexino
2018
International audience; In more than ten years of operation, Borexino has performed a precision measurement of the solar neutrino spectrum, resolving almost all spectral components originating from the proton-proton fusion chain. The presentation will review the results recently released for the second data taking phase 2012–2016 during which the detector excelled by its unprecedentedly low background levels. New results on the rate of pp, 7Be, pep and 8B neutrinos as well as their implications for solar neutrino oscillations and metallicity are discussed.
Exploring cell biodiversity - Neutron scattering investigation of water diffusion in complex system
2015
Scientists from biophysics, biology and medicine fields are interested in exploring and characterizing topologically cerebral tissue in order to diagnostic different diseases which affect brain in many patients [1-3]. One of the most diffuse diagnostic techniques is dMRI (diffusion magnetic resonance imaging) which extracts information about heterogeneity and asymmetries in brain tissue studying water diffusion dynamics (~80% mass constituent of tissues). The experimental limit of this technique is related to the acquisition time, TA, of the order of milliseconds. Water molecules diffuse within micrometre distance using TA as diffuse time (Eistein equation D~2TA). Cells have micrometric siz…
