Terapia trans-cranica ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da Risonanza Magnetica (tcMRgFUS) utilizzando un sistema integrato con uno scanner RM da 1.5T…
2018
Scopo Negli ultimi anni la terapia transcranica ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da risonanza magnetica (tcMRgFUS) per il trattamento di disordini neurologici quali il tremore essenziale (ET) e il Parkinson tremorigeno (PD) è stata effettuata utilizzando esclusivamente scanner RM da 3T. Presentiamo i risultati ottenuti con il primo sistema tcMRgFUS mai integrato con uno scanner RM da 1.5T. Materiali e metodi 23 pazienti (19 ET; 4 PD) sono stati selezionati per essere sottoposti a tcMRgFUS (talamotomia monolaterale; target: nucleo ventrale intermedio, VIM). I pazienti arruolati sono stati valutati prima del trattamento e 2 giorni dopo. L'efficacia del trattamento è stata valutata utilizzand…
TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE-GUIDED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (TCMRGFUS) CON SCANNER DA 1.5T: NOTA TECNICA
2018
Scopo La terapia dei disordini neurologici mediante tcMRgFUS è stata effettuata utilizzando esclusivamente scanner RM da 3T. Utilizzando uno scanner RM da 1.5T la qualità delle sequenze morfologiche utilizzabili per la pianificazione di questi trattamenti è risultata essere soddisfacente utilizzando la bobina body RF (quella utilizzata con scanner 3T). Tuttavia l'SNR delle sequenze utilizzate per la termometria RM è risultato inferiore allo standard accettabile per i trattamenti. È stata quindi sviluppata una bobina a 2 canali per assicurare un adeguato SNR. Presentiamo il protocollo di imaging efficacemente utilizzato per eseguire procedure tcMRgFUS con il primo sistema mai integrato …
Nanofilm Low Cost Oxygen Sensors
2009
Abstract The resitivity change of ultra thin metals under air exposure is used for vacuum or inert gas packaging control. In order to reach low cost, single use applications, few nm thin Aluminum layers were deposited on PET substrates and combined with wireless electronic readout circuitry. The sensor respose is characterized by resistance changes and explained in terms of multiphase diffusion mechanisms which are very sensitive to technological parameters.
Ultraviolet A1 radiation induces nitric oxide synthase-2 expression in human skin endothelial cells in the absence of proinflammatory cytokines.
2001
Skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight causes erythema and edema formation as well as inflammatory responses. As some of these ultraviolet-induced effects are potentially mediated by nitric oxide synthases, we examined the role of cytokines and ultraviolet A 1 radiation (340–400 nm) on the expression of the nitric oxide synthase-2 in endothelia of normal human skin biopsies during short-term organ culture as well as expression and activity of the nitric oxide synthase-2 in in vitro cell cultures of human dermal endothelial cells. Both, cytokine challenge (interleukin-1β + tumor necrosis factor-α + interferon-γ) but also ultraviolet A 1 exposure (50 J per cm 2 ) in the absence …
Effects of UV Radiation and Diet on Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in the Skin, Ocular Tissue and Dorsal Muscle of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Held in…
2010
Article published in Photochemistry and Photobiology, 86 (4): 909-919 JUL-AUG 2010 The effect of UV radiation (UVR) on juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was assessed by measuring the fatty acid (FA) profiles of muscle, dorsal and ventral skin, and ocular tissues following 4-month long exposures to four different UVR treatments in outdoor rearing tanks. Fish were fed two different diets (Anchovy- and Herring-oil based) that differed in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations. Anchovy-fed salmon had higher concentrations of ALA (alpha-linoleic acid; 18:3n-3), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid; 20:5n-3) and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid, 22:5n-3) in their muscle tissues than fish fed the H…

Esta base de datos contiene resultados de dos experimentos (RADxTEMP y RADxNIT) a escala de microcosmos referentes a variables de crecimiento, morfológicas, metabólicas y de composición estequiométrica de 2 especies de macroalgas de agua dulce, concretamente carófitos (Chara hispida y Chara vulgaris) procedentes de dos sistemas (el lago de Somolinos en Guadalajara y el Ullal de Quartons en Castellón), por tanto, 4 poblaciones (2 especies x 2 orígenes). En estos dos experimentos de diseño factorial, los individuos de las 4 poblaciones fueron sometidos a dos niveles de radiación, dos niveles de temperatura (RADxTEMP) y dos niveles de concentración de nitrato (RADxNIT). En esta matriz de datos…
Submerged macrophytes as key players in aquatic ecosystems under global change: a multiscale experimental approach
2020
El actual cambio global está causando alteraciones en los ecosistemas de todo el mundo a través de cambios interactivos en los principales factores ambientales (e.g. la temperatura, la concentración de nutrientes y la radiación ultravioleta). Los ecosistemas acuáticos continentales son altamente vulnerables ante estos cambios y, específicamente, en la región mediterránea, la situación es peor ya que la mayoría de estos sistemas son someros y están expuestos a las perturbaciones ambientales y antrópicas. Las praderas de macrófitos sumergidos y, particularmente, los carófitos, son un elemento conspicuo de estos sistemas con un papel fundamental en su funcionamiento. Estos organismos proveen d…
Melanomas un ne-melanomas vēžu epidemioloģija, Latvijas iedzīvotāju informētība un aizsardzības pasākumi pret ādas vēžiem
2020
Problēmas būtība. Ādas vēži ir vieni no izplatītākām vēžiem Pasaulē. Katru gadu atklāto ādas vēžu skaits strauji pieaug, pētījumi norāda, ka melanomai visstraujākais pieaugums ir gaišādainiem cilvēkiem. Klimatisko apstākļu dēļ, strauji pieaug ultravioletā starojuma daudzums, un pēc 20-30 gadiem UV indekss var sasniegt bīstamo līmeni, kas krietni paaugstinās ādas vēžu saslimstības risku. Pētījuma mērķi. Uzzināt vai Latvijā ādas vēžu incidence strauji pieaug, kādi ir Latvijas iedzīvotāju prevalējoši ādas tipi. Kādi ir sauļošanās ieradumi iedzīvotājiem un vai tiek pielietoti UVS aizsardzības pasākumi. Noskaidrot vai iedzīvotāji ir informēti par ādas vēžiem un to aktualitāti. Rezultāti. Latvijā…
Iedzīvotāju sauļošanās paradumi un informētība par ultravioletā starojuma starojuma ietekmi uz organismu
2015
Saslimstība ar melanomu Latvijā un pasaulē ir augsta, un tās viens no galvenajiem izraisošajiem iemesliem ir ultravioletā starojuma iedarbība. 2012. gadā Latvijā melanomas pacientu uzskaitē ar pirmo reizi dzīvē diagnosticētu melanomu tika iekļautas 213 personas, kopā melanomas uzskaitē gada beigās bija 1967 personas (Slimību profilakses un kontroles centrs, 2014). Šis darbs dod priekšstatu par ultravioletā starojuma ietekmi un tā izraisīto kaitējumu, iedzīvotāju sauļošanās paradumiem solārijā un saulē, kā arī farmaceitu viedokli par cilvēku informētību šajā jomā. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no 64 lapaspusēm, 27 attēliem, 2 tabulām un 2 pielikumiem, darba tapšanā izmantoti 60 literatūras avoti. D…
Synthesis of nanostructured protein–mineral-microcapsules by sonication
2022
We propose a simple and eco-friendly method for the formation of composite protein–mineral-microcapsules induced by ultrasound treatment. Protein- and nanoparticle-stabilized oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions loaded with different oils are prepared using high-intensity ultrasound. The formation of thin composite mineral proteinaceous shells is realized with various types of nanoparticles, which are pre-modified with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and subsequently characterized by EDX, TGA, zeta potential measurements and Raman spectroscopy. Cryo-SEM and EDX mapping visualizations show the homogeneous distribution of the densely packed nanoparticles in the capsule shell. In contrast to the results re…
