ANF IN THE PAROTID GLAND IN RABBIT.
2012
It is well known that the presence of a particular type of granule population has been discovered in the atrial cardiocytes which represent the major site of synthesis of atrial natriuretic factor. The ANF has potent natriuretic, diuretic and vasoactive functions. However, ANF evidence occurs in extracardiac tissues such as the brain, intestine, lymphoid organs and in various glands involved in water and salt regulation adrenals, pancreas, lacrimal and salivar glands with respect to salivary glands the literature reportes that ANF presence was found in the acinar cells and on the contrary in the ductal cells. In order to eliminatethese discordances researchers conducted a previous study on …
Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma: An unusual case report
2020
Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma is a rare lesion of the nasal cavity whose etiology and pathogenesis are unknown and symptoms are unspecific. It can be isolated or associated with inflammatory process, first of all nasal polyposis. It’s considered a rare lesion because it’s poorly known and consequently correctly diagnosing is important to a right surgical treatment and follow-up. A 54-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of epistaxis, rhinorrhea and anosmia. Computed tomography showed soft tissue densities in all sinus cavities consistent with nasal polyposis and without bilateral widening of the olfactory cleft >10 mm and without bone erosion. Functional endoscopi…
Essential of audiology: screening and postscreening
2014
Newborn hearing screening is a type of screening testfor the early detection of hearing loss. It can recognizewith good accuracy newborns affected by hearingimpairment allowing an early diagnosis and interventionand avoiding cognitive and linguistic deficits [1-6].The incidence of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL) in Sicily is 2.35 cases per 1000 newborns; thisvalue increases to 2.95 if we consider also unilateral SNHL[2,3] and to 10 cases per 1000 births among infants at risk[7-9].A correct newborn hearing screening programme isbased on different protocols depending on the presence/absence of audiologic risk factors:† Newborns without risk factors: [1-3]Initial Hearing Screening (…
Advances in the Role of Pharyngeal Surgery in the Treatment of OSAS
2021
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery recommend surgery as an option for the treatment of OSAS, when noninvasive treatments such as CPAP or oral appliances have not been successful or are not tolerated. A gradual and logical approach must be taken into account when a patient seeks a surgical solution, and it is a fundamental requirement that the patient find a surgeon who understands both the pathophysiology of sleep apnea and anatomy of the upper airways (UA) to guarantee the best chances of success. The surgical options aim to solve the obstructive problem according to two ways, the first is the reduction of the content, an…

Presbyastasis: from diagnosis to management
2019
Currently, the elderly population (>65 years old) is in very growth. In fact, in Italy old age index (number of elderly per 100 persons under the age of 14 years) is estimated to be 157,7 and is projected to increase to 257,9 in the year 20651,2. The increase of the elderly population determines the increase of the age-dependent diseases including also impairment of the vestibular function, this problem is defined "presbiastasia". Patient suffering from this condition exhibit disturbances of static and dynamic postural control with far less frequent cases of relapsing objective rotatory vertigo. Occasionally, they also report a feeling of insecurity in new or unknown environments, increa…
A genotype-phenotype correlation in Sicilian patients with GJB2 biallelic mutations
2015
The aim of this work was to study the genotype distribution of Sicilian patients with biallelic GJB2 mutations; to correlate genotype classes and/or specific mutations of GJB2 gene (35delG-non-35delG) with audiologic profiles. A total of 10 different mutations and 11 different genotypes were evidenced in 73 SNHL subjects; 35delG (90.36 % of cases) and IVS1+1 (13.69 %) were the most common mutations found in the cohort with a significant difference in the distribution between North and South Sicily. Audiological evaluation revealed a severe (16/73) to profound (47/73) hearing loss (HL) in 86.13 % of cases without significant difference between the degree of HL and the province of origin of t…
Audiological Investigation of Otitis Media in Children with Atopy
2011
Otitis media (OM) describes an inflammatory process within the middle ear space that is generally associated with accumulation of fluid and that may lead to hearing loss, learning difficulties, and delays in language development. The pathogenesis of OM is multifactorial, involving the adaptive and native immune system, eustachian tube dysfunction, viral and bacterial load, and genetic and environmental factors. The involvement of IgE-mediated allergic reactions in the pathogenesis of OM has been suggested by clinical observations of a high prevalence of OM among patients with allergies. Evidence from studies involving tympanometric measurements, audiometric measurements, and otoscopic exami…

Doppia recensione a due edizioni critiche di opere di esegesi biblica di Rabano Mauro, il «Commento al Libro di Giuditta» e il «Commento al Libro di Ruth». Il secondo dei due volumi recensiti presenta anche il «Commento al Libro di Ruth» di Claudio di Torino.
Nuove stazioni, periferie e città
2016
L’infrastruttura contemporanea amplia e fa slittare il proprio campo semantico, trasformandosi definitivamente da artefatto tecnico di carattere titanico ed epico ad elemento riparatore dei tessuti urbani, flessibile, trasformabile. In questo quadro in mutazione, numerose esperienze negli ultimi trent’anni hanno affermato in Europa occidentale il ruolo dei grandi progetti ferroviari come vettori di trasformazione urbana. A quindici anni dall’avvio della prima stagione di concorsi internazionali banditi per le nuove stazioni dell’Alta Velocità in Italia, è possibile un bilancio volto non solo al semplice confronto dei risultati direttamente pertinenti la realizzazione e l’esercizio dell’oper…
