Taenia asiatica: the Most Neglected Human Taenia and the Possibility of Cysticercosis
2013
Not only Taenia solium and Taenia saginata, but also Taenia asiatica infects humans. The last species is not included in the evaluation of the specificity of the immunodiagnostic techniques for taeniasis/cysticercosis. There is currently no specific immunodiagnostic method for T. asiatica available. Therefore, due to the fact that molecular techniques (the only tool to distinguish the 3 Taenia species) are normally not employed in routine diagnostic methods, the 2 questions concerning T. asiatica (its definite geographic distribution and its ability to cause human cysticercosis), remain open, turning T. asiatica into the most neglected agent of human taeniasis-cysticercosis.
A CAPWAP Architecture for Automatic Frequency Planning in WLAN
2007
Recently, the impressive success of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN technology has dramatically changed the role of the wireless connectivity provisioning. Born as a wireless extension of small office or home networks, todays the WLANs are getting more and more popular as a large, even metropolitan, area networks. The deployment of large-scale WLANs has some critical issues, because of the lack of coordinated management functionalities among the network nodes. In this paper we briefly describe the CAPWAP architectural solution, for centralizing some control and maintenance functionalities in large scale WLAN, by guaranteeing the interoperability between network nodes provided by different vendors. We …
Prognostic value of the ratio between prothesis area and indexed annulus area measured by multiSlice-CT for transcatheter aortic valve implantation p…
2016
Background Postprocedural aortic regurgitations following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures remain an is- sue. Benefit of oversizing strategies to prevent them isn’t well established. We compared different level of oversizing in our cohort of con- secutive patients to address if severe oversizing compared to normal sizing had an impact on post-procedural outcomes. Methods From January 2010 to August 2013, consecutive patients were referred for TAVI with preoperative Multislice-CT (MSCT) and the procedures were achieved using Edwards Sapien® or Corevalve devices®. Retrospectively, according to pre-procedural MSCT and the valve size, pa- tients were classified into thr…
Lights and shadows of the Taenia asiatica life cycle and pathogenicity.
2013
Humans are definitive hosts of two well-known species of the Taenia genus, Taenia solium (the pig tapeworm) and Taenia saginata (the cattle tapeworm). In the 1990s, a third species, Taenia asiatica, was discovered, sharing features with the other two since the adult morphology is similar to that of T. saginata, but its life cycle is like that of T. solium. Human taeniasis usually is asymptomatic or displays mild symptoms, and only T. solium can cause other sometimes serious disorders when humans accidentally ingest the eggs and develop the larval stage in different organs (cysticercosis). In this review, we expose what we currently know (lights) and what we do not yet know (shadows) about t…

Makroselityksistä, vakauttajavaltioista ja kapitalismista
2016
Wolfgang Streeck avaa kirjassaan Ostettua aikaa (Streeck 2016) kapitalismin ja demokratian suhdetta. Tämä on olennaista ja ajankohtaista. Taloudellisten toimijoiden kyky suojautua demokraattiselta yhdenvertaisuusperiaatteelta on kapitalismin analyysin ydinkysymyksiä. On myös hyväksi, että marxilainen lähestymistapa lisää painoarvoaan yhteiskuntatieteellisessä keskustelussa. Kapitalististen yhteiskuntien muutosdynamiikkaa on vaikeaa selittää kokonaan ilman marxilaisia työkaluja. Järjestelmän selittäminen sen sisäänrakennettujen ristiriitojen kautta on huomattavasti hedelmällisempää kuin keinotekoiset tasapaino-oletukset. Itse kirja ei kuitenkaan ole yhtä ongelmaton kuin sen tutkimuksellinen …

Biomarkers for glaucoma: from the lab to the clinic
2017
Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, is often not diagnosed until many years after disease onset. Early and objective diagnostic measures are yet missing. Besides the main risk factor, an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), age, sex, and ethnicity are known to affect disease progression and severity. Furthermore, oxidative stress, elevated glutamate concentrations, and an autoimmune component are considered possible risk factors. We could identify several potential proteomic biomarkers in glaucoma and examine distinct changes in the glaucomatous human retina proteome. Using an experimental autoimmune glaucoma animal (EAG) model we could demonstrate an IOP-independ…
