Cytoreductive surgery and mitomycin C hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with CO2 recirculation (HIPEC-CO2) for colorectal cancer peritoneal m…
2021
Peritoneal dissemination from colorectal cancer (CRC) has long been associated with unfavorable prognosis. However, in the last decades, the combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was able to obtain up to 30% 5-year survival rate in selected centers. Despite the wide diffusion of CRS and HIPEC, until now, there are no clear recommendations on the drug of choice for HIPEC nor its technique, and safety and efficacy data of HIPEC regimens and techniques are lacking. We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of 26 CRS and mitomycin C HIPEC with CO2 recirculation (HIPEC-CO2) for CRC peritoneal metastasis…
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten Related Disorders
2013
Non Celiac Gluten sensitivity (NCGS) was originally described in the 1980s and recently a “re-discovered” disorder characterized by intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms related to the ingestion of gluten-containing food, in subjects that are not affected with either celiac disease (CD) or wheat allergy (WA). Although NCGS frequency is still unclear, epidemiological data have been generated that can help establishing the magnitude of the problem. Clinical studies further defined the identity of NCGS and its implications in human disease. An overlap between the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and NCGS has been detected, requiring even more stringent diagnostic criteria. Several studies sug…
Evaluation of low-dose metronomic (LDM) cyclophosphamide toxicity in cats with malignant neoplasia
2014
Oral administration of low-dose cyclophosphamide in pets with spontaneously occurring malignant neoplasms has become a common practice in veterinary medicine. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate toxicity events in cats with spontaneous malignancies receiving cyclophosphamide as a metronomic therapy for at least 1 month. The number and severity of clinical, haematological and biochemical adverse events were recorded according to the Veterinary Cooperative Oncology Group’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v1.1 classification scheme. Twenty-four cats were enrolled in the study with a total number of 27 neoplasms: 13 sarcomas, 12 carcinomas, one melanoma an…
The "Tokyo" consensus on propeller flaps
2011
Background: Overthepastfewyears,theuseofpropellerflaps,whichbasetheir blood supply on subcutaneous tissue or isolated perforators, has become in- creasingly popular. Because no consensus has yet been reached on terminology and nomenclature of the propeller flap, different and confusing uses of the term can be found in the literature. Methods: Inthisarticle,theauthorsreporttheconsensusonthedefinitionand classification of propeller flaps reached by the authors that gathered at the First Tokyo Meeting on Perforator and Propeller Flaps in June of 2009. Some peculiar aspects of the surgical technique are discussed. Results: A propeller flap can be defined as an “island flap that reaches the reci…

La "minéralité" du vin : dires d'experts et de consommateurs (Propos de prescripteurs, paroles de consommateurs)
2013
International audience; Cette conférence vise à présenter les résultats du premier volet d’un projet de recherche réalisé, sous l’égide de l’Institut Œnologique de Champagne, par une équipe pluridisciplinaire réunissant linguistes, oenologues et spécialistes des sciences du goût. Si le projet global vise à analyser les modes de construction cognitive du concept de minéralité du vin chez les consommateurs et les professionnels en l’articulant sur les réalités sensorielles observables, la première partie présentée et discutée ici se focalisera sur le discours des consommateurs approché au travers d’un questionnaire en ligne. Nous reviendrons brièvement sur les hypothèses de travail du projet …
Terminoloģijas lietojums mobilo iekārtu lietošanas instrukcijās
2018
Maģistra darbā pētīts terminoloģijas lietojums mobilo iekārtu lietošanas instrukcijās. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt vienotas terminoloģijas pieejamību tehniskās nozares terminoloģijai, kura izmantota mobilo iekārtu lietošanas pamācībās. Pētījumā izmantotās metodes ir teorētisko materiālu (grāmatu un publikāciju) apskats un izmantotās terminoloģijas un tās tulkojumu analīze. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka lielākajai daļai no atlasītajiem terminiem nav pieejams vienots tulkojums, vai termins darināts latviešu valodā, kas secīgi noved pie situācijas, kurā tulkotājs kļūst par valodnieku, kuram jādarina terminoloģiskās frāzes.
Krāpniecības apzīmējumu etimoloģiskā analīze
2016
Bakalaura darbā tiek pētīta krāpniecību apzīmējošo terminu izcelsme angļu valodā. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt ar krāpniecību saistīto terminu veidošanos un izcelsmi, lai atklātu vispārīgās tendences juridiskās terminoloģijas attīstībā. Darbā izmantotās pētniecības metodes iekļauj valodas pārmaiņu, juridiskās angļu valodas attīstības vēstures, krāpniecības vēstures un veidu izpēti, kā arī izvēlēto terminu analīzi pielietojot kvantitatīvo un kvalitatīvo metožu apvienojumu. Pētījuma teorētiskajā daļā raksturota vēsturiskās lingvistikas un etimoloģijas nozare, krāpniecība un juridiskā terminoloģija un tās attīstība. Pētījums aptver trīsdesmit krāpniecību apzīmējošus terminus, kuriem analizēta to…
Mathematics and Art Connections Expressed in Artworks by South African Students
2022
In this chapter, we examine a collection of drawings, and paintings from South African students between the ages of 10 to 17, that provide fresh and original perceptions to some already known topics, but also several unexpected connections between mathematics and art. These works reference classic math-art connections such as: golden ratio, spirals, infinity, and geometric figures; they also contain several personal reflections, unique discoveries and references to ethnomathematical connections within the African cultural heritage. To introduce their pieces and themselves, students shared their own interpretations of their artworks. These commentaries make possible the identification of cog…
