Desplazamientos : una reflexión sobre la posibilidad de escuchar el horror
2014
Resumen : Las relaciones que existen entre la poesia y la representacion del fenomeno de la Shoah han sido ampliamente estudiadas por la filosofia y los estudios literarios, interesados en todo lo que concierne a la memoria y al recuerdo del horror. Sin embargo, creo que las razones que llevan a algunos sobrevivientes de la ultima dictadura militar argentina a afirmar que la poesia es el genero mas adecuado para aproximarse a la representacion del horror estan todavia insuficientemente exploradas. A partir de la critica filosofica de la representacion y del estudio contemporaneo sobre la significacion de la escucha, ahondare en el sentido de la afirmacion sobre la poesia y el horror. Palab…
The role of red yeast rice (RYR) supplementation in plasma cholesterol control: A review and expert opinion.
2019
1. Preamble : Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) [1]. Increased levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and many clinical trials have shown that reducing LDL-C levels significantly reduced the CHD and CVD risk [[2], [3], [4], [5]]. Thus LDL-C-lowering is the main approach for the management of cardiovascular disease. Current guidelines suggest LDL-C levels targets based on the individual CV risk; such targets can be achieved by several means, which include both lifestyle changes and pharmacological approaches [6], with statins being the cornerstone …

Statements with an agreement more than or equal to 80% were accepted. RESULTS: Overall, 44% of the statements regarding the concept of frailty and 18% of the statements regarding diagnostic criteria were accepted. There was consensus on the value of screening fo…
Ancient bridges of Sicily: punctual signs of a past that disappears
2018
Sono indelebili i segni lasciati dall’uomo sul territorio, testimonianze che il tempo conserva e la storia ci consegna e il cui insieme costituisce una trama fittissima che si sovrappone alla struttura fisica dell’ambiente, integrandolo e modificandolo. Grandi opere, monumenti universalmente riconosciuti come capolavori della mente e delle mani dell’uomo, ma anche opere minori, manufatti d’uso comune, beni isolati che costituiscono gli elementi puntuali di una più vasta e complessa organizzazione di fenomeni insediativi, le tessere di un mosaico ricco di sfumature e riflessi, frutto di un lungo processo di stratificazione storica. Alla categoria dei beni isolati appartengono le torri, i cas…
Trauma y denuncia en los testimonios del exilio chileno
2009
El artículo analiza el rol cumplido por los testimonios que los supervivientes de los campos de concentración chilenos publicaron en el exilio en los años siguientes al golpe de estado de 1973, que dio origen a la dictadura de Pinochet. El artículo se centra en dos elementos principales. Por una parte, el papel de los testimonios en las estrategias de denuncia internacional contra la dictadura. Por otra, el modo en que los supervivientes utilizaron la escritura testimonial para elaborar y dar un sentido narrativo al trauma experimentado en los campos de concentración. The article analizes the role accomplished by the testimonies of survivors of concentration camps in Chile, wich were publis…
Sobre el testimonio del perpetrador en 'Flughunde' de Marcel Beyer. Desenmascarando sus dispositivos lingüísticos y discursivos
2020
En la novela Flughunde, publicada en 1995, Marcel Beyer, un autor de la tercera genera-ción nacido en 1965 y, por lo tanto, sin vivencias directas ni de la época del nazismo ni de la posgue-rra, articula, a partir de una serie de datos históricos relacionados con la muerte de los hijos de Magda y Joseph Goebbels, una ficción en la que se plantea la cuestión de la fiabilidad de los testigos, funda-mentalmente, cuando se trata de relatos de perpetradores. El objetivo del artículo es analizar cómo la novela aborda la representación del perpetrador, así como descubrir las estrategias discursivas del texto para desenmascarar el discurso del perpetrador, que intenta ocultar su responsabilidad en …
An Expert Opinion From the European Society of Hypertension–European Union Geriatric Medicine Society Working Group on the Management of Hypertension…
2016
Two years after the publication of the 2013 guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC),1 the ESH and the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society have created a common working group to examine the management of hypertensive subjects aged >80 years. The general term hypertension in the elderly is not sufficiently accurate because it mixes younger old patients (60–70 years) with the oldest old. Our group believes that the management of hypertension in individuals aged ≥80 years should be specifically addressed. Although arbitrary, this cutoff value identifies a population that is expanding …
Expert witness in paternity testing in Germany.
2003
In Germany, paternity testing can be ordered by a judge as well as by private persons. In the case of private counselling, the expert has the duty to inform the parties on all medical, legal and ethical aspects. Informed consent must be given by each individual included in an exploration of family relationships. Due to the rapid progress of DNA typing in even minute amounts after polymerase chain reaction amplification, genotypes of short tandem repeat systems can be elicited by extraction from single cells. Therefore, the number of unlawful investigations of paternal relationships is steadily increasing. Here the requirements for paternity testing laboratories and sanctions for unlawful ex…
Classification of neuropathic pain in cancer patients: A Delphi expert survey report and EAPC/IASP proposal of an algorithm for diagnostic criteria
2014
Neuropathic pain (NP) in cancer patients lacks standards for diagnosis. This study is aimed at reaching consensus on the application of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) special interest group for neuropathic pain (NeuPSIG) criteria to the diagnosis of NP in cancer patients and on the relevance of patient-reported outcome (PRO) descriptors for the screening of NP in this population. An international group of 42 experts was invited to participate in a consensus process through a modified 2-round Internet-based Delphi survey. Relevant topics investigated were: peculiarities of NP in patients with cancer, IASP NeuPSIG diagnostic criteria adaptation and assessment, and …
