Oltre la nazione. Conflitti postcoloniali e pratiche interculturali. Il caso della diaspora tamil

2014

Perché il nazionalismo sembra ancora, forse più che in passato, diffuso in un mondo globalizzato? Come funziona l'identità “nazionale” in un contesto di migrazioni transnazionali? Possiamo ancora chiamare “migrazioni” i fenomeni diasporici che stanno trasformando le nostre società? Come possiamo discutere di intercultura in presenza del terrorismo internazionale? Il volume si occupa di tali questioni non in maniera generalista ma concentrandosi su un ambito specifico: i Tamil dello Sri Lanka, le pratiche (politiche, economiche, culturali) transnazionali che agiscono (terrorismo compreso) e le forme plurali di oppressione che soffrono (in Sri Lanka come nelle comunità diasporiche in Occident…

RNA mediated trans-activation: its therapeutic potential in anaplastic thyroid cancer

2014

RNA mediated trans-Activation is a proposed mechanism involved in the setting of the epigenetic state of chromatin. It has been studied first in Drosophila melanogaster where it seems that at least some transcribed loci are marked as transcriptionally active by their own transcripts. This effect acts in trans and in some cases could give rise to a transgenerational paramutational-like effect. This work studies RNA mediated trans-activation in the light of one of its possible applications, specifically its use as a therapeutic strategy for the incurable and highly aggressive ATC (anaplastic thyroid cancer). We explore the possibility to reactivate the Thyroid specific NIS (Natrium-Iodine sym…

Strength training in treatment of chronic neck pain

2022

Background: Chronic non-specific neck pain is common in modern industrialized countries causing suffering, disability and considerable economical losses for individuals and society. Treatment is commonly advice for stretching and strength exercises in primary health care. However, if improvements are not satisfactory, patients may seek specialist care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of multimodal rehabilitation in treatment of chronic neck pain. Methods: The study group comprised of 56 patients with chronic neck pain, who participated rehabilitation for three weeks and one-week follow-up period after eight months at an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The aim …

Fabrication techniques for developing a functional microfluidic glass device suitable for detection in optical spectroscopy system

2012

Microfluidic devices offer the chance to manipulate and analyze fluids including bioassays and chemical reactions. In this study, a method to develop a microfluidic analysis system is proposed for detection of nanotubes by a Raman acquisition setup. Microchannels where fabricated in sodalime glass substrate by MeV ion beam lithography or electron beam lithography and wet etching. Fusion bonding (550 °C) was used to seal the microchannels. As a result a prototype microfluidic device with 1.6 µm deep channel that exhibit efficient sealing and suitable channel geometry was obtained. The microfluidic device was tested in a Raman spectroscopy detection system and the collected spectra showed the…

Electrocatheter-mediated High-voltage Pulsed Radiofrequency of the Dorsal Root Ganglion in the Treatment of Chronic Lumbosacral Neuropathic Pain

2019

Objectives: Despite the interest in scientific community, there is still poor evidence about pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) efficacy in the treatment of neuropathic pain. In order to determine whether high-voltage PRF and epidural adhesiolysis (PRF-EA) showed better results than epidural adhesiolysis alone (EA), a randomized, double-blind, comparative-effectiveness study was conducted in patients with chronic lumbosacral radiating pain and neuropathic features. Materials and Methods: A total of 41 patients were randomly allocated to 2 groups. Twenty-one patients were randomized to receive 2 cycles of 240 seconds high-voltage PRF followed by the injection of local anesthetics, hyaluronidase, an…

Ipofisi

2012

Considerata l'elevata complessità anato-funzionale e le ridotte dimensioni delle strutture presenti nella regione sellare e ixuta-sellare, la parte introduttiva dell'intervento sarà obbligatoriamente dedicata a brevi richiami di fisiologia dell'asse ipotalamo-ipofisario, alla diagnostica di laboratorio (talvolta erroneamente considerata “di supporto” alla diagnostica per immagini) e all'anatomia radiologica; ciò consentirà di meglio comprendere la necessità di un assoluto rigore nei protocolli d'esame utilizzati per ottenere immagini di elevata affidabilità diagnostica. Sarà dato ampio spazio ai protocolli di studio e saranno discusse le principali indicazioni allo studio di tali dis…

ENABLING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ANTI-CORRUPTION STRATEGIES THROUGH DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE. A CASE-STUDY OF …

2021

Lo scopo principale di questa ricerca è quello di inquadrare le possibili relazioni causali fra corruzione negli approvvigionamenti pubblici e performance delle amministrazioni locali. A tal fine, viene adottato un disegno di ricerca che integra dinamicamente metodi quantitativi e qualitativi in ogni fase del processo di studio. Gli approcci Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) e Governance (DPG), supportati da interviste approfondite non-strutturate, modellazioni formali e simulazioni quantitative, sono qui adottati per analizzare un caso di studio rappresentativo di un piccolo comune italiano in cui si sono verificati alcuni episodi di corruzione nelle attività di approvvigionamento nei p…

Sakarība starp atkārtotu ķeizargriezienu un histerektomiju Rīgas dzemdību namā

2018

Mērķi. Sniegt labākos šobrīd pieejamos pierādījumus par mātes saslimstību, kas rezultējas ar histerektomiju un ir saistīta ar ĶG veikšanu sievietēm, kurām jau bijis ĶG. Salīdzināt riska faktorus grupās "histerektomija" un "ne histerektomija”. Noteikt bērna stāvokli, izmantojot Apgares skalu, pēc ĶG un pēc vaginālām dzemdībām. Materiāli un metodes. Pētījumā retrospektīvi analizēti dati par 1620 pacientēm, kas 2015 līdz 2017. gada novembrim. Visām sievietēm ir iepriekš bijis veikts ĶG, tātad: uz dzemdes bija rēta. No šīm pacientēm 1513 arī apskatītajās (sekojošās) dzemdībās tika veikts ĶG, bet 107 dzemdēja vagināli. Katrai pacientei tika reģistrēts vecums, grūtniecības nedēļa, iepriekšējo dze…
