Diagnosi e trattamento endoscopico dell'endometriosi vescicale

2007

L’endometriosi coinvolge l’apparato urinario in circa 1-2% dei casi e la sede più frequentemente colpita e la vescica. Obiettivo del nostro studio e la valutazione dell’efficacia e della sicurezza del trattamento laparoscopico in corso di endometriosi vescicole, attraverso l’analisi degli aspetti clinici prima e dopo l’intervento. Dal Giugno 2005 al Gennaio 2007, abbiamo trattato mediante chirurgia laparoscopica otto donne affette da endometriosi vescicale. In tre pazienti la lesione interessava ilde-trusore a tutto spessore ed è stata necessaria una cistectomla parziale; negli altri cinque casi il nodulo endometriosico era più superficiale ed e stata sufficiente una resezione extramucoca …

RAB3GAP1 and RAB3GAP2 modulate basal and rapamycin-induced autophagy

2014

Macroautophagy is a degradative pathway that sequesters and transports cytosolic cargo in autophagosomes to lysosomes, and its deterioration affects intracellular proteostasis. Membrane dynamics accompanying autophagy are mostly elusive and depend on trafficking processes. RAB GTPase activating proteins (RABGAPs) are important factors for the coordination of cellular vesicle transport systems, and several TBC (TRE2-BUB2-CDC16) domain-containing RABGAPs are associated with autophagy. Employing C. elegans and human primary fibroblasts, we show that RAB3GAP1 and RAB3GAP2, which are components of the TBC domain-free RAB3GAP complex, influence protein aggregation and affect autophagy at basal an…

Neuromuscular mechanics and hopping training in elderly.

2014

Purpose The present study examined the effects of repetitive hopping training on muscle activation profiles and fascicle–tendon interaction in the elderly. Methods 20 physically active elderly men were randomly assigned for training (TG) and control groups (CG). TG performed supervised bilateral short contact hopping training with progressively increasing training volume. Measurements were performed before the training period (BEF) as well as after 2 weeks (2 W) and 11 weeks (11 W) of training. During measurements, the gastrocnemius medialis–muscle (GaM) fascicle and its outer Achilles tendon length changes during hopping were examined by ultrasonography together with electromyographic (EMG…

Proposal for a new diagnostic horizon for WRB Anthrosols

2009

Abstract To investigate man's role in the creation and evolution of soils in areas of large scale farming, and to investigate the main morpho-descriptive aspects of the related soils, a survey was carried out in south eastern Sicily, Italy, where, as common to other regions of the Mediterranean basin, there are wide areas with anthropogenic soils due to large scale farming activity. The complex genesis pattern of these anthropogenic soils, which shows a double sequence of man-made horizons, sideways oriented to the soil surface, does not allow their classification as Technosols, because their composition is not dominated or strongly influenced by artefacts or human-made materials as is the …

Indagato "virtuale" e contraddittorio

2007

Le ordinanze in commento offrono l’opportunità di ripercorrere l’iter esegetico nel quale si è in passato imbattuta la Corte Costituzionale in tema di limiti soggettivi ravvisabili nell’art. 403 c.p.p., per coglierne gli aspetti più volubili ai quali si è successivamente ancorato il legislatore del 1997 nel ribaltare l’orientamento puntualizzato con le due note pronunce del 1994 . Nel caso specifico il Giudice ha deciso di annullare l’ordinanza con la quale era stato ammesso l’esame dei periti indicati nella lista del pubblico ministero e della parte civile in ordine agli esiti di un incarico peritale che era stato loro conferito nel corso di un incidente probatorio svoltosi nell’ambito di …

Drug-induced expansion and differentiation of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in vivo: The role of exogenous IL-2

2005

Human Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells recognize nonpeptidic Ags generated by the 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate (many eubacteria, algae, plants, and Apicomplexa) and mevalonate (eukaryotes, archaebacteria, and certain eubacteria) pathways of isoprenoid synthesis. The potent Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cell reactivity 1) against certain cancer cells or 2) induced by infectious agents indicates that therapeutic augmentations of Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cell activities may be clinically beneficial. The functional characteristics of Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells from Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus monkey) are very similar to those from Homo sapiens. We have found that the i.v. administration of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonat…

The colovescical fistula in diverticular disease: Laparoscopic approach in two different cases

2020

Highlights • The colovescical fistula is one of the complications of diverticular disease. • It can cause typical symptoms like pneumaturia and fecaluria affecting the quality of life and sometimes leading to death, usually secondary to sepsis. • We studied two patients with clinical, radiological and endoscopic diagnosis of colovescical fistula as a consequence of diverticular disease. • We performed a totally laparoscopic treatment with colonic resection and closure of the fistula with intracorporeal sutures. • The presence of a colovescical fistula significantly increases the difficult of the laparoscopic colonic resection.

Data from: Plant – herbivorous beetle networks: molecular characterization of trophic ecology within a threatened steppic environment

2015

DNA barcoding facilitates many evolutionary and ecological studies, including the examination of the dietary diversity of herbivores. In this study, we present a survey of ecological associations between herbivorous beetles and host plants from seriously threatened European steppic grasslands. We determined host plants for the majority (65%) of steppic leaf beetles (55 species) and weevils (59) known from central Europe using two barcodes (trnL and rbcL) and two sequencing strategies (Sanger for mono/oligophagous species and Illumina for polyphagous taxa). To better understand the ecological associations between steppic beetles and their host plants, we tested the hypothesis that leaf beetl…
