Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Correlations between Receptor Density and Binding Affinity of 1-Adrenoceptors and Several Clinical Parameters
2002
The aim of the study was to determine whether relations do exist between the concentration and activity of 1-adrenoceptors, both inside the prostatic adenoma and the periurethral zone corresponding to the bladder neck, and clinical and biological parameters such as symptoms, evaluated by the American Urological Association (AUA) score, age, weight of the prostate, PSA, and the flow rate. Twenty patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia were selected for an open prostatectomy. One gram of tissue was dissected from inside the adenoma and 1 g from the periurethral zone corresponding to the bladder neck. The 1-adrenoceptors were evaluated for the apparent dissociation constant (Kd)…

Ottimizzazione di un freno a fluido magnetoreologico per uso automobilistico
2009
Il presente lavoro ha come oggetto lo studio numerico di un freno a fluido magnetoreologico (MR) per uso automobilistico tramite il codice agli elementi finiti ANSYS. In seguito ad un dimensionamento analitico preliminare del freno la realizzazione di un modello FEM magnetico permette un’accurata valutazione della distribuzione del campo magnetico nel fluido MR e la valutazione del momento frenante generato in seguito all’applicazione della corrente alla bobina. La successiva ottimizzazione in due fasi del circuito magnetico consente di migliorarne le prestazioni in termini di momento frenante e peso del dispositivo. L’analisi FEM termica di tipo dinamico permette infine di valutare l’andam…
Nuove ipotesi a partire dalla rilettura dei dati archeologici: la Sicilia occidentale
2010
Il seminario di Parigi sulla Sicilia bizantina con particolare attenzione al periodo a cavallo tra la dominazione bizantina e quella islamica, è stata occasione per ristudiare i dati archeologici a nostra disposizione e leggerli nella prospettiva del passaggio da un periodo al’altro. Ci siamo concentrati sull’VIII secolo ed in particolare sui rapporti con l’Africa romana che tanta parte hanno avuto sulla storia della cultura materiale dell’isola nella tarda antichità. Abbiamo cercato di documentare il perdurare degli scambi commerciali con il nord Africa anche dopo la caduta in mano islamica del Maghreb fino all’VIII secolo analizzando la circolazione delle forme più tarde della sigillata e…
Sangre de nobles, mártires y pecadores. Los caballeros de San Juan entre la reforma religiosa y la vida militar
2018
After the fall of Rhodes in 1522, the Order of St. John needed to recover new headquarters (which were finally established in Malta in 1530) and its reputation as militia Christi. This Religion in arms had now to redraft its chivalrous ideals within the new context of the Reformation and the Catholic Renewal. However, Hospitallers met this challenge partially and late, although they represented themselves as belonging to this glorious Religion. Such a dialectic between practice and theory is proved, for example, by an apologetic book published in 1619 in Italy and Spain, as well as by unpublished instructions in the late seventeenth century directed at the chaplains providing religious supp…
The effects of canrenone on left ventricle diastolic function, left atrial compliance and on atrial natriuretic hormones in some subjects with “chall…
2010
STUDY PROPOSAL: Proposal to evaluate the response of left ventricular function of 30 patients with challenge hypertension to 50 or 100 mg of canrenone. Evaluation will be performed by repeated control of echocardiographic parameters, left atrial function and NT-proBNP. We also will use Tissue Doppler Imaging to identify and follow early left ventricular dysfunction. Careful monitoring of serum creatinine and electrolyte levels will be carried out. At the end of the study we will be able to identify the best dose of aldosterone we can recommend to control hypertension and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. In possible successive evaluations other end points such as mortality, morbility,…
Complete renovisceral debranching and EVAR for thoracoabdominal aneurysm
2011
Open graft repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) is an incredibly complex and challenging procedure with acceptable results achieved only by a few centers worldwide. Contemporary outcome analysis of TAAA repair performed in the United States showed greater operative mortality and morbidity rates than commonly reported. Moreover, a recent European long-term follow-up study showed that survival remains suboptimal, especially in the early years after TAAA repair. Complete renovisceral debranching combined with EVAR offers many advantages in regard to open surgical repair with comparable or better results, especially in the high-risk patient. Although this hybrid procedure will not…
ISOLATED PYODERMA GANGRENOSUM AND ADALIMUMAB:CASE REPORT IN PAEDIATRIC AGE
2018
Introduction: Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a sterile neutrophilic disorder, rarely described in children and adolescents, and frequently it is known as secondary to other chronic inflammatory diseases. However, epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic data on paediatric PG are numerically limited and no randomized controlled trials have been published. Associated diseases in paediatric cases are inflammatory bowel diseases, vasculitis, immune deficiencies, PAPA Syndrome. The treatment with systemic steroids and cyclosporine is well documented in the literature as the first-line treatment. In nonresponders, other treatment lines are indicated, as: corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil, …
Spider bite mimicking pyoderma gangrenosum in sJIA: a case report
2020
Introduction: Several paediatric patients manifest conditions commonly misdiagnosed as spider bites, which however, can include other arthropods bites; bacterial, viral, and mycotic infections; vasculitis; dermatological diseases; miscellaneous conditions as drug reactions, chemical injuries. Objectives: In Italy, spiders which are likely to be associated with severe toxin mediated tissue damage are uncommon, especially in urban zones. However, a minor trauma may be a precipitating factor for pyoderma gangrenosum particularly over the legs, in association with inflammatory bowel disease, haematologic diseases and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
Ferroelastic transition in Kbr:Kcn studied by neutrons, x-rays and ultrasonic
1986
The ferroelastic phase transition of (KBr) 0 27 (KNC) 0.73 has been studied by X-ray diffraction, ultrasonics and inelastic neutron scattering. It is the first example of a cubic crystal where the elastic shear constant C 44 softens completely corresponding to the m = 2 universality class. C 44 and the Bragg intensities show a non-classical critical behaviour.
