Cinesiterapia global en la enfermedad arterial periférica
2010
En el caso de la cinesiterapia global indicada en la enfermedad arterial periférica, se incluye el protocolo de marcha a velocidad y/o inclinación programadas. Éste busca incrementar progresivamente la distancia recorrida hasta la aparición de dolor claudicante, y en el se distinguen tres fases diferenciadas: el calentamiento, la pauta de esfuerzo y el enfriamiento.
Prueba de Ratschow-Börger
2010
La prueba de Ratschow-Börger permite valorar la presencia de un compromiso isquémico de miembros inferiores.
Test de marcha en cinta rodante
2010
El test de marcha en cinta rodante es un test de trabajo incremental que es muy utilizado, tanto para el diagnóstico como para el tratamiento de los pacientes con claudicación intermitente.
Susceptibility of Seven Termite Species (Isoptera) to the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium anisopliae
2009
International audience; Seven termite species (Isoptera) from five families were tested for disease susceptibility against the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae using a standard protocol: Mastotermes darwiniensis (Mastotermitidae), Hodotermopsis sjoestedti (termopsidae), Hodotermes mossambicus (Hodotermitidae), Kalotermes flavicollis (Kalotermitidae), Reticulitermes flavipes and Prorhinotermes canalifrons (Rhinotermitidae), and Nasutitermes voeltzkowi (termitidae). Our results showed a large diversity in disease susceptibility against M. anisopliae among the different species tested and we suggest that the evolution of disease resistance mechanisms in Isoptera may be influenced…
Carcinoma epidermoide cutáneo: relación con los trastornos respiratorios del sueño y definición de la variante alto riesgo
2015
Introducción: Recientes publicaciones han mostrado que la hipoxia intermitente similar a la que encontramos en el síndrome de apnea e hipopnea del sueño (SAHS) parece estar implicada en el desarrollo, progresión y crecimiento de tumores en modelos animales, a través de la sobreproducción de factores de crecimiento (entre ellos el factor de crecimiento vascular endotelial o VEGF) y la interacción con la vía supresora del gen p53. EL carcinoma epidermoide cutáneo (CEC) es un tumor procedente de los queratinocitos del estrato espinoso de la epidermis, muy prevalente en la población general y cuya incidencia está en aumento. Su lesión precursora más frecuente es la queratosis actínica. Existe u…
Occurrence of rhizobia in the gut of the higher termite Nasutitermes nigriceps
2006
Wood-eating termites feed on a diet highly deficient in nitrogen. They must complement their diet with the aid of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nitrogen fixation in the gut has been demonstrated, but information about nitrogen-fixing bacteria in pure culture is scarce. From the higher termite Nasutitermes nigriceps the symbiotic bacterial strain M3A was isolated, which thrives in the hindgut contents. The Gram-negative strain exhibited similarities to the species of the genus Ensifer (including Sinorhizobium) on the basis of morphological and physiological/biochemical features. The 16S rRNA gene analysis showed the highest sequence similarity of the isolate M3A to Ensifer adhaerens (>99%; ATCC …
Characterization of microbial communities in pest colonized books by molecular biology tools
2011
This work presents the identification of bacteria and fungi colonies in insect infesting books, by cultural-independent methodologies based on molecular biology techniques. Microbial genomic DNA extraction,<em> in vitro</em> amplification of specific target sequences by polymerase chain reactions (PCR), sequencing and sequence analysis were performed. These procedures minimized the samples amount, optimized the diagnostic studies on bacteria and fungi colonization and allowed the identification of many species also in complex microbial consortia. The molecular techniques for sure accomplish and integrate the microbiological standard methods (<em>in vitro</em>&nbs…
Molecular phylogeny of parabasalids with emphasis on the order Cristamonadida and its complex morphological evolution
2009
1055-7903 doi: DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2009.03.011; Parabasalia represents a complex assemblage of species, which recently received extensive reorganization. The newly created order Cristamonadida unites complex hypermastigids belonging to the Lophomonadida like the joeniids, the multinucleate polymonad Calonymphidae, and well-developed trichomonads in the Devescovinidae. All these protists exclusively occur in the guts of termites and related insects. In this study, small subunit rRNA and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase genes were identified without cultivation from 14 species in Cristamonadida including previously unstudied genera such as Joenina, Joenia, Joenoides, Macrotrichomonas…
Studies on Reticulitermes lucifugus Rossi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae): a review of associated hindgut flagellates and investigations on protist speci…
2017
The present study was conducted on protist species from R. lucifugus “Sicily” subspecies in a field site of Palermo (Sicily, Italy) on June 2015. Since protist species associated with R. lucifugus in Europe are still confused and recent revisions are lacking, this work aims at achieving greater clarity on these symbiosis trough a review of the literature in light of new phylogenetic studies on this termite species. The purpose of this work was also to highlight and quantify protists associated with the Sicilian subspecies, R. l. “Sicily”. Results pointed out the real protist community attributable to R. lucifugus from the literature and showed 13 protist species detected in the subspecies R…
PALAZZO STERI DI PALERMO, SOFFITTO LIGNEO DELLA SALA MAGNA INDAGINE FITOSANITARIA
2012
ABSTRACf - Steri Palace of Palermo; Wooden Ceiling of the "Sala Magna ", Phytosanitary Survey. The Steri Palace (from Hosterium = fortified residence) of Palermo was built in the early fourteenth century, exactly from 1307 to 1320, it was Chiaramonte's family residence. Later, it became the seat of the viceroy of Sicily (from 1412 to 1577), of the Director of the Royal "Magna Curia", and Royal Customs (until 1698), of the Inquisition Tribunal (from 1701 to 1792), of the Judicial offices and Custom offices (from 1800 to 1958). Today it is the Centre of the Chancellor's offices of the University of Palermo. It contains several interesting cultural heritage artefacts, including the beautiful d…
