Stroke in the young in sicily: Prevalence and clinical features
1998
Few epidemiological reports focus on the prevalence of stroke in the young population. As part of a neuroepidemiological survey on the total population of three Sicilian municipalities, we assessed the prevalence of stroke in the young, describing the clinical features of each patient. We screened 14,832 subjects younger than 40 years with a door-to-door method and a two-phase study design. Phase 1 consisted of a questionnaire and a brief neurological examination; phase 2 was an extensive evaluation performed by a neurologist. On the prevalence day (November 1, 1987), we ascertained six cases of stroke (prevalence rate, 40.5/100,000). Three were hemorrhagic, one ischemic, and two of uncerta…
The effects of mental fatigue on sport-related performance
2018
International audience; Mental fatigue is known to increase subjective feelings of fatigue and to decrease cognitive performance, but its impact on physical performance remains poorly understood. The aim of this chapter was to review the results of 29 studies published between 2009 and April 2018 and focusing on the impact of mental fatigue on sport-related performance. Taken all studies together, it appears that mental fatigue impairs endurance performance, motor skills performance and decision-making performance. However, maximal force production is not reduced in the presence of mental fatigue. These observations suggest that mental fatigue impairs sport-related performance during exerci…
Cryotherapy, Hydrotherapy and other training recovery modalities: Effects on hormones’ balance and performance
2010
Recovery modalities (RM) are an important aspect of training programmes, providing physiological benefits to athletes and enamelling them a homeostasis balance between training and competitions. Recovery allows the athlete to return to the state of performance readiness by restoring all the physiological parameters back to baseline levels (Barnett 2006, Reilly and Ekblom 2005, Gill et al. 2006). RMs have been largely investigated in regards to their ability to enhance blood lactate removal or to reduce exercise induced delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) (Barnett 2006). The endogenous hormones influence the body’s adaptation to stress stimulus, therefore, investigating these hormones du…
General Aspects of Thoracic Anesthesia
2020
Thoracic anesthesia, a fascinating subspecialty, provides perioperative medicine for a spectrum of dynamically evolving surgical procedures ranging from classical thoracotomies to minimally invasive and ultra-minimally invasive video or robotically assisted procedures. Its core mission is to provide optimal surgical conditions by deflating the operative lung while providing adequate oxygenation and avoiding injury to the ventilated lung. Thoracic anesthesia also provides preoperative care to achieve best possible health status before surgery and improves postoperative recovery by providing means of pain therapy and enhanced recovery following some of the most painful procedures in patients …
Valoración funcional en pacientes intervenidos mediante plastia de LCA con semitendinoso-recto interno y sistema Togglelock.
2020
espanolIntroduccion: Una de las lesiones mas frecuente de la rodilla y que esta en aumento, sobre todo en el ambito deportivo es la lesion del ligamento cruzado anterior. La reconstruccion quirurgica es fundamental para recuperar la biomecanica de la rodilla, proporcionar una correcta estabilidad y funcionamiento libre de dolor, asi como evitar cambios degenerativos tempranos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue valorar la recuperacion funcional de los pacientes sometidos a una reconstruccion del ligamento cruzado anterior mediante ligamentoplastia con tendon semitendinoso-recto interno y sistema Toggelock. Material y metodos: Se diseno un estudio retrospectivo descriptivo observacional, e…
Moderate-to-Strong Turbulence Generation in a Laboratory Indoor Free Space Optics Link and Error Mitigation via RaptorQ Codes
2016
Free Space Optics (FSO) is rapidly gaining interest as a line-of sight communication technology that offers capabilities similar - in terms of bandwidth and transfer rates - to optical fibre, also possessing several advantages compared with traditional radio frequency links. However, FSO link quality can be strongly affected by unfavourable weather conditions and also by the phenomenon of optical turbulence, even in clear sky. In this work, we have implemented an indoor FSO link and generated moderate-to-strong turbulence conditions along the optical path by using heaters and a mechanical ventilation system. In this way, we have been able to investigate the effects of the generated turbulen…
Modification of Plasma Membrane Organization in Tobacco Cells Elicited by Cryptogein
2014
Abstract Lipid mixtures within artificial membranes undergo a separation into liquid-disordered and liquid-ordered phases. However, the existence of this segregation into microscopic liquid-ordered phases has been difficult to prove in living cells, and the precise organization of the plasma membrane into such phases has not been elucidated in plant cells. We developed a multispectral confocal microscopy approach to generate ratiometric images of the plasma membrane surface of Bright Yellow 2 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) suspension cells labeled with an environment sensitive fluorescent probe. This allowed the in vivo characterization of the global level of order of this membrane, by which w…
Experimental investigation and modelling of diffusion dialysis for the recovery of waste acid solutions
2018
Pickling is widely used as a chemical pre-treatment method for cleaning metal surfaces before other surface treatments and it consumes large amount of acids and water
Experimental investigation and modelling of diffusion dialysis process for regeneration of acidic pickling solutions
2017
Pickling is one of the key steps in metal finishing industries, where HCl solutions are largely used thus generating significant amounts of spent waste solutions containing high concentrations of metals and acid. The recovery of acid from such waste solutions is thus one of the most beneficial steps for reducing the environmental and economical impact of these processes. Among several separation methods, diffusion dialysis (DD) is becoming more and more attractive thanks to the recent important advances in ion exchange membranes (IEMs) field and because of its clean nature and operational simplicity, low installation and operating costs and low energy consumption [1,2]. In the present work,…
Effective recovery of HCl and metals from pickling solutions by cutting-edge membrane technologies
2018
The pickling process is an essential step in the hot-dip galvanizing process.It is performed by immersing manufacturedsteel pieces inacid bathsin order todissolve the oxidized layers. During the pickling process, acid attacks metal oxides on the surface, dissolving them in the pickling bath. Thus, the efficiency of the pickling liquor decreases due to the accumulation of metal salts and the consumption of free acid in the solution. When hydrochloric acid is used,ferrous chloride is producedduring the pickling treatment, reaching concentrations up to 250 g/l, while the acid concentration decreases by 75-85%. A pickling bath in this condition is considered spent [1] due to thevery low picklin…
