A presynaptic excitatory M1 muscarine receptor at postganglionic cardiac noradrenergic nerve fibres that is activated by endogenous acetylcholine.
1990
Rabbit atria were isolated with the extrinsic right vagus and sympathetic nerves intact and perfused with Tyrode solution. Noradrenaline overflow evoked by sympathetic nerve stimulation (SNS) at 3 Hz for 3 min was determined before, during, and after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), also at 3 Hz and for 3 min. The VNS pulses preceded the SNS pulses by 3, 100 and 233 ms. Acetylcholine overflow was determined after labelling of the transmitter stores with [14C]choline. Pirenzepine 80 nmol/l failed to alter the muscarinic inhibition of noradrenaline overflow when the vago-sympathetic impulse intervals were 3 and 233 ms. At an interval of 100 ms VNS did not significantly inhibit noradrenaline ove…
Periauricular wrinkles removed with voltaic arc dermabrasion (Atmospheric Plasma technique).
2019
Background In recent literature, different approaches have been proposed to improve the long-lasting treatment of age-related alterations on the human face with decreased invasiveness and side effects such as scar tissue. Voltaic arc dermabrasion is a minimally painful procedure that does not create discomfort to the patient and requires no anaesthesia. Aims The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the voltaic arc technique for the treatment of skin wrinkles in the periauricular area. Methods A total of 80 patients were treated in this study, 56 females and 24 males. The population was visited at 1 week, 1 month, and 2 months postoperative follow-ups to evaluate the healing of the trea…
Perceived Partner’s Self-Control and Social Support Effects on Relationship Satisfaction in Couples Experiencing Infertility or Miscarriage: Dyadic A…
2022
The process that infertile couples and those after a miscarriage go through is unpredictable and difficult to control; therefore, it is associated with a lowered sense of control for both partners. Uncontrolled stress creates a higher level of anxiety, which is associated not only with a lower quality of life but also with worse results from infertility treatment and higher risks of miscarriage. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the partner’s perceived self-control and marital satisfaction in the context of the partners’ coping strategies. The actor-partner interdependence model was applied to 90 heterosexual married couples. Our results show that men…
Urinary tract infections in children: EAU/ESPU guidelines.
2015
Context: In 30% of children with urinary tract anomalies, urinary tract infection (UTI) can be the first sign. Failure to identify patients at risk can result in damage to the upper urinary tract.Objective: To provide recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and imaging of children presenting with UTI.Evidence acquisition: The recommendations were developed after a review of the literature and a search of PubMed and Embase. A consensus decision was adopted when evidence was low.Evidence synthesis: UTIs are classified according to site, episode, symptoms, and complicating factors. For acute treatment, site and severity are the most important. Urine sampling by suprapubic aspiration or c…
Molecular phylogeny of Malagasy poison frogs, genus Mantella (Anura: Mantellidae): homoplastic evolution of colour pattern in aposematic amphibians
2002
Abstract We studied the evolution of colour pattern in Malagasy poison frogs, genus Mantella , a group of diurnal and toxic frogs endemic to Madagascar. Based on a phylogeny reconstructed using 1130 bp of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, the genus can be divided into five species groups. Within some of these groups, interspecific genetic divergences were very low (1.2–2.8% sequence divergence) while colour patterns were markedly different. In contrast, Mantella madagascariensis and M . baroni , two species which show extremely similar dorsal coloration patterns, were not included in the same clade. This conclusion was supported by high bootstrap values and by significant rejection of altern…
Mascheramenti festivi in Sicilia
2022
I mascheramenti cerimoniali, che vanno dal semplice occultamento del viso al rivestimento del corpo con specifici indumenti e attributi, ricorrono più diffusamente, in Sicilia come altrove, nel periodo carnevalesco. A cortei e performances di mascherati si accompagnano comportamenti tesi a segnalare la temporanea sospensione o il rivolgimento delle norme sociali e culturali: i giuochi licenziosi, le danze pubbliche e i balli domestici, le questue e lo smodato consumo di peculiari cibi e di bevande, la produzione di rumori e di schiamazzi, le tenzoni, il dileggio delle autorità, i motteggi e gli scherzi d’ogni sorta. Tra le performances carnascialesche che meritano di essere ricordate: la pa…

I mascheramenti, al pari degli altri simboli rituali caratterizzanti le celebrazioni carnascialesche siciliane, paiono tutti riconducibili alla sintassi propria delle feste di chiusura e apertura di un ciclo ossia di rifondazione ciclica del tempo, e finiscono con il proporre l’istituto carnevalesco, nel suo complesso, come “modello esemplare” delle cerimonie di Capodanno. Una festa cioè che attraverso parole, immagini, gesti riesce a restituire la realtà attraverso la ricostituzione per simulazione del cerchio del tempo, cioè a garantire che il tempo continui ad esserci, simulandone e ripetendone la morte e la rinascita. Las mascaradas, al igual que los demás símbolos rituales que caracter…
Gastrointestinal helminths found in the three freshwater turtles (Erymnochelys madagascariensis, Pelomedusa subrufa and Pelusios castanoides) from An…
2007
Abstract We conducted a survey of the presence, prevalence and diversity of gastrointestinal helminths in faecal samples and stomach contents of three turtle species, — Erymnochelys madagascariensis (Chelonia: Podocnemididae), Pelomedusa subrufa and Pelusios castanoides (Chelonia: Pelomedusidae), — from several localities in Madagascar. Four nematode species were detected: Atractis chabaudi, Camallanus chelonius, Falcaustra pelusios, and Spiroxys sp. E. madagascariensis, with all four species, had the greatest helminth diversity. A. chabaudi was the community’s core species, whereas Spiroxys sp. was a satellite species. Only two species (A. chabaudi and Spiroxys sp.) were found in P. subruf…
