Downscaling of American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) daily air temperature in Sicily, Italy, and effects on crop reference ev…

2018

Abstract Air temperature (Ta) is one of the key factors in agro-hydrological studies including estimation of crop reference evapotranspiration (ET0), which is crucial for irrigation water management and sustainability of agro-ecosystem productivity. Because direct measurements of ET0 are difficult, expensive and time consuming, the use of physically based or empirical approaches linked to meteorological information is often preferred. The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resource project developed by the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (POWER-NASA) provides daily meteorological information on a 1° latitude by 1° longitude grid. Despite the poor spatial resolution charac…

Autostereoscopic Three-Dimensional Neuronavigation to the Sella: Technical Note.

2017

Background A drawback of conventional neuronavigation is the necessity of focusing on two-dimensional images in 3 planes at the same time to determine one's position in the operating field. A solution would be to merge the images into a single three-dimensional (3D) image that mirrors the actual anatomy. The introduction of holographic glassless 3D monitors paved the way to 3D navigation. We present our experience with 3D neuronavigation as exemplified by navigation to and within the sella. Methods Operative planning was conducted with a navigation system using cranial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The image data sets were processed by the prototype Clariti 3D system t…

Image-guided endonasal transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment of recurrent microadenomas of the pituitary gland.

2006

BACKGROUND Neuronavigation is a commonly used technology that provides continuous, three-dimensional information for the precise localization of and surgical trajectory to brain lesions. This study was performed to evaluate the role that navigation can play in assisting microsurgical transsphenoidal surgery for precise localization and removal of recurrent pituitary tumours while simultaneously preserving pituitary gland function. METHOD During a 6-month period -- July 2004 until December 2004 -- 9 patients with recurrent pituitary tumours (5 female and 4-male) were treated with navigation-guided transsphenoidal microsurgical resection. Surgery was performed via a paraseptal or endonasal tr…

A case of intrasellar aneurysm simulating a pituitary adenoma

1959

A case of intrasellar aneurysm simulating a pituitary adenoma has been reported. The literature on the subject has been reviewed. The diagnostic difficulties related to intrasellar aneurysms and the role that arteriography should play in the study of chiasmatic lesions have been discussed.

Cephalometric measurements from 3D reconstructed images compared with conventional 2D images

2011

Abstract Objective: To assess whether the values of different measurements taken on three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) are comparable with those taken on two-dimensional (2D) images from conventional lateral cephalometric radiographs (LCRs) and to examine if there are differences between the different types of CBCT software when taking those measurements. Material and Methods: Eight patients were selected who had both an LRC and a CBCT. The 3D reconstructions of each patient in the CBCT were evaluated using two different software packages, NemoCeph 3D and InVivo5. An observer took 10 angular and 3 linear measurements on each of the three types o…

Surgical complications after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.

2009

Between January 2004 and June 2007 we conducted a retrospective analysis to assess post-operative complications related to endoscopic pituitary surgery in a series of 150 patients. Patients were treated with an endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the sellar region for removal of pathological sellar and suprasellar lesions. We analysed the complications in groups according to the anatomical structures of the approach and the functional systems of the pituitary gland (anterior and posterior endocrine systems), and compared them to a large historical series using the traditional microsurgical transsphenoidal approach. Overall, we observed a decreased incidence of complications wit…

Post-traumatic lethal carotid-cavernous fistula.

2006

The authors report about an unexpected death by traumatic lesion of the internal carotid artery in a 30-year-old man who had fallen two metres. The man suffered a fracture of the left maxillary sinus and a fracture of the right orbit with bilateral haemorrhage of the maxillary sinus. Surgical treatment was performed with favorable outcome. Clinically, there were no neurological symptoms but about 60 days after his accident, the man died from uncontrolled epistaxis. He was submitted to the autopsy that show a linear fracture in the left side of the turcic sella and lesion of the left internal carotid artery with carotid-cavernous fistula.

La crisi italiana, i turchi, l'altro. Una lettura del XVII canto dell'Orlando furioso

2018

Il XVII canto dell’Orlando furioso non rientra nel novero dei luoghi ariosteschi irrinunciabili, essendo ritenuto uno di quei canti di raccordo necessari all’ordito della narrazione. Tuttavia, l’invettiva che vi è contenuta merita ancora qualche supplemento di indagine, sulla scorta di alcuni studi recenti. La sua peculiarità va rintracciata nello spazio letterario del classicismo civile del primo Cinquecento, al quale è accostabile per temi, modi forme, tenendo ovviamente conto del più ampio quadro della crisi politica e culturale del Rinascimento italiano. Questa rilettura consente di ritenere il tema dell’incontro/scontro con la potenza ottomana e la sua cultura ben più che una occasiona…
