‘La chiamiamo con entrambi i nomi’: eponimia ed eteronimia tra Nemesis e Adrasteia

2020

Prendendo le mosse da un passo di Ammiano Marcellino (XIV 11,25), che lascia emergere un’evidente sovrapposizione tra la figura di Adrasteia e quella Nemesis, il contributo si propone di esaminare le ragioni che hanno condotto le due potenze ad essere indicate l’una come l’eteronimo dell’altra. A partire dalle fonti di V secolo fino alla paremiografia e alla lessicografia di età imperiale si ricostruisce un percorso che si propone di mostrare gli accidenti e le molteplici variabili cui le logiche di denominazione del divino, nel mondo greco, possono essere soggette. Starting from a passage by Ammiano Marcellino (XIV 11,25), which reveals an evident overlap between the figure of Adrasteia an…

Cystic lymphangioma of adrenal gland. Case report and review of the literature

2009

Il linfoangioma surrenalico cistico è una neoplasia beni- gna rara che origina da una ectasia dei vasi linfatici; questa lesione si localizza, più frequentemente, nella regione del collo, ascellare e mediastinica. Lo scopo di questo studio è descrivere il caso di una donna di 60 anni con dolore addominale ricorrente che si è sot- toposta ad un esame ecografico che ha mostrato la presenza di una massa cistica in corrispondenza del polo superiore del rene; quindi l’origine della massa, il surrene, è stata identificata attraverso la Tomografia Compiuterizzata, eseguita con mezzo di contrasto. Successivamente la paziente ha effettuato la Risonanza Magnetica che ha meglio caratterizzato la lesio…

Characterization of NOM

2015

Worldwide reports over the last few decades have shown that the amount of natural organic matter (NOM) in surface water is continuously increasing, which has an adverse effect on drinking water purification. For many practical and hygienic reasons, the presence of NOM in drinking water is undesirable. Various technologies have been proposed for NOM removal with varying degrees of success. The properties and amount of NOM, however, can significantly affect the process efficiency. To improve and optimize these processes, it is essential to characterize and quantify NOM at various points during purification and treatment. It is also important to be able to understand and predict the reactivity…

Reflection anisotropy spectroscopy of decanethiol adsorbed at Au(110)/liquid interfaces

2008

Reflection Anisotropy Spectroscopy (RAS) has been used to monitor the adsorption of decanethiol as a function of coverage on the Au(110)/ethanol interface. The coverage saturates after 60 minutes for a solution of 0.5 µM. It is found that the RAS observed after 30 minutes can be represented as a linear sum of the RAS observed after 15 minutes and after saturation coverage. This implies that the molecule does not change its orientation as function of coverage. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing

2019

Published: 23 August 2019 It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known for their excellent time resolution, to examine whether lexical feedback modulates early orthographic processing. Twenty congenitally deaf readers made lexical decisions to target words and pseudowords. Each of those target stimuli could be preceded by a briefly presented matched-case or mismatched-case identity prime (e.g., ALTAR-ALTAR vs. altar- ALTAR). Results showed an early effect of case overlap at the N/P150 for all targets. Critically, thi…

Application of 1H NMR-based serum metabolomic studies for monitoring female patients with rheumatoid arthritis

2015

AbstractRheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune-based inflammatory disease that leads to progressive joint degeneration, disability, and an increased risk of cardiovascular complications, which is the main cause of mortality in this population of patients. Although several biomarkers are routinely used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, there is a high demand for novel biomarkers to further improve the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, stratification of patients, and the prediction of a better response to a specific therapy.In this study, the metabolomics approach was used to provide relevant biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy, define prognosis and predict and mon…

MRI-assisted radiation therapy planning of brain tumors--clinical experiences in 17 patients.

1991

A new and simple method for precise determination of lateral opposed treatment portals was developed and used in 17 patients. Compared to CT, MRI led to significant changes of portals in 59% (10/17) of cases. Individual shielding blocks could be precisely designed by use of our new method. MRI is the procedure of choice in local radiation therapy planning of brain tumors.

Structural Covariance of Cortical Gyrification at Illness Onset in Treatment Resistance: A Longitudinal Study of First-Episode Psychoses

2021

AbstractTreatment resistance (TR) in patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP) is a major cause of disability and functional impairment, yet mechanisms underlying this severe disorder are poorly understood. As one view is that TR has neurodevelopmental roots, we investigated whether its emergence relates to disruptions in synchronized cortical maturation quantified using gyrification-based connectomes. Seventy patients with FEP evaluated at their first presentation to psychiatric services were followed up using clinical records for 4 years; of these, 17 (24.3%) met the definition of TR and 53 (75.7%) remained non-TR at 4 years. Structural MRI images were obtained within 5 weeks from first…

Gadodiamide and gadopentetate dimeglumine in MRI versus spiral CT in the diagnosis of liver lesions.

Whole-body MRI, FDG-PET/CT, and bone marrow biopsy, for the assessment of bone marrow involvement in patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma.

2016

To compare whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), FDG-PET/CT, and bone marrow biopsy (BMB), for the evaluation of bone marrow involvement (BMI) in patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma.This retrospective study was approved by our Institutional Review Board. Two independent radiologists and one nuclear medicine specialist reviewed all WB-MRI and FDG-PET/CT scans prospectively performed on 104 patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma (53 males; 47 Hodgkin; mean age: 44 years; range, 15-86 years) between 2013 and 2015. The delay between imaging scans and BMBs was up to 10 days. The diagnostic accuracy of WB-MRI (1.5 Tesla MR scanner, with T1w, T2w-STIR, and DWI sequences…
