L’eros che non c’è. Meraviglie e contraddizioni dell’amore
2020
Nonostante sia fra le più logore e abusate, la parola ‘amore’ continua ad accendere il nostro entusiasmo, perché lascia intravedere una bellezza di cui non riusciamo a fare a meno e che, al tempo stesso, sembra sfuggirci continuamente. Cosa c’è dietro le promesse, spesso non mantenute, di questo formidabile sentimento? Perché l’amore resiste a ogni delusione, e siamo sempre tutti pronti a investire ancora sulle sue lusinghe? Si tratta di un intrattenimento ludico (Lucrezio), di una dipendenza patologica (Marco Aurelio), della più pericolosa delle illusioni umane (Schopenhauer) o della chiave segreta della vita (Platone)? Prendendo spunto dal vissuto quotidiano e spaziando dalla mitologia gr…
Portraying infective endocarditis
2019
Infective endocarditis is a growing problem with many shifts due to ever-increasing comorbid illnesses, invasive procedures, and increase in the elderly. We performed this multinational study to depict definite infective endocarditis. Adult patients with definite endocarditis hospitalized between January 1, 2015, and October 1, 2018, were included from 41 hospitals in 13 countries. We included microbiological features, types and severity of the disease, complications, but excluded therapeutic parameters. A total of 867 patients were included. A total of 631 (72.8%) patients had native valve endocarditis (NVE), 214 (24.7%) patients had prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), 21 (2.4%) patients …
Analysis of the diagnostic pathway and delay in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the Valencian Community
2021
Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an insidious, clinically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease associated with a diagnostic delay of approximately 12 months. No study conducted to date has analysed the diagnostic pathway in Spain. Methods: We gathered data on variables related to the diagnostic pathway and delay for patients diagnosed with ALS between October 2013 and July 2017. Results: The study included 143 patients with ALS (57% men; 68% spinal onset). Patients were diagnosed in public centres in 86% of cases and in private centres in 14%. The mean diagnostic delay was 13.1 months (median 11.7). Patients were examined by neurologists a mean time of 7.9 months afte…
Effect of sport-tinted contact lenses for contrast enhancement on retinal straylight measurements
2008
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of two tinted contact lenses (CL) designed for outdoor sports activity on the psychometric determination of retinal straylight using the compensation comparison method. METHODS: Thirteen emmetropic subjects were randomly fitted with two different tinted Nike Maxsight (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY, USA) CL in one eye, while the contralateral eye was fitted with a clear lens made of the same material (Optima 38, Bausch & Lomb). Three valid straylight measurements were taken on each eye before and a few minutes after lens insertion, when lens stabilization had occurred. RESULTS: The subjects' mean straylight values were 0.90 +/- 0.09 at baseline and 0.95 +/- …
Foam mat drying of yacon juice: Experimental analysis and computer simulation
2015
Abstract The foam mat drying of yacon juice (YJ) and concentrate yacon juice (CYJ) was conducted under various conditions of thickness of product (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 cm) and air temperature (50, 60 and 70 °C). After drying the resulted dry powder was removed from the metallic tray and pulverized. Layer thickness and air temperature influenced statistically ( p > 0.5) drying time, moisture content and water activity (Aw) of the product. The shortest drying time to reach the desired Aw (0.1–0.3) corresponds to the condition of 0.5 cm and 70 °C for both juices – 59 and 65 min for the YJ and CYJ, respectively. The process was modeled in terms of heat and mass transfer and then simulated by a fin…
Shining castles and humans of metal/floral appearance ? metaphorical language in the Palaiologan romances Kallimachos and Velthandros
2019
About eight centuries after Heliodorus, the Greek novel resurfaced in the twelfth century, in Komnenian Byzantium, and again two centuries later under the Palaiologan dynasty. This latter literary revival was due to the political stability of the imperial Byzantine government, which promoted cultural production, rhetorical education, and patronage networks. Kallimachos and Velthandros, two Palaiologan romances presented as court literature, combine ancient and medieval tropes with rhetorical artistry to blur the boundaries between the artificial and the natural. Castles and objects made of precious metals thus resemble living, natural spaces, and human characters are portrayed in metallurgi…

Comparative evaluation of the effect of impression materials and trays on the accuracy of angulated implants impressions
2018
Background Vinyl Polyether Siloxane is a newly introduced impression material and studies on that is scarce. Implant insertion in posterior mandible might be angulated due to anatomical considerations. The purpose of this study was to compare the dimensional and angular accuracy of impressions using full-arch versus sectional tray and Vinyl Polysiloxane versus Vinyl Polyether Siloxane in angulated implants. Material and Methods Four implants were placed in dental areas #19, #21, #28 and #30 of a Kennedy class I mandibular acrylic model with 30° lingual angulation. Twenty sectional and 20 full-arch open trays were made on the primary cast. Impressions were taken using Vinyl Polysiloxane and …
