Esophageal atresia in newborns: a wide spectrum from the isolated forms to a full VACTERL phenotype?
2013
Background: VATER association was first described in 1972 by Quan and Smith as an acronym which identifies a non-random co-occurrence of Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Tracheoesophageal fistula and/or Esophageal atresia, Radial dysplasia. It is even possible to find out Cardiovascular, Renal and Limb anomalies and the acronym VACTERL was adopted, also, embodying Vascular, as single umbilical artery, and external genitalia anomalies. Methods: Data on patients with esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) between January 2003 and January 2013 were evaluated for the contingent occurrence of typical VACTERL a…
VATER/VACTERL association: clinical variability and expanding phenotype including laryngeal stenosis.
1992
Vertebral abnormalities and anorectal and tracheoesophageal defects are the main manifestations in the VATER/VACTERL association. Radial defects vary from radial aplasia to thumb duplication. Heart and renal defects are reported with lower frequency. Additional malformations, such as the laryngeal stenosis described in the present patient, may expand the phenotype of the association. The wide spectrum of congenital abnormalities confirms the high clinical variability of VATER/VACTERL association which seems to be due to a disruption of blastogenesis. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Oxycarenus lavaterae (FABRICIUS, 1787) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Oxycarenidae) – gatunek nowy dla fauny Polski
2016
Oxycarenus lavaterae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Oxycarenidae) has been collected from a Platanus acerifolia in Rzeszów-Słocina, Southeastern Poland. This is the first record of this species from Poland.

Oxycarenus lavaterae (Fabricius, 1787), the invasive true bug species, were recorded from Poland for the first time in 2014 (SE Poland, Rzeszów; Hebda & Olbrycht, 2016). Since that time it was recorded also in Cieszyn (Western Beskid Mts) and Brzeg (Lower Silesia) in August 2018 (Gierlasiński et al., 2018). In October, November and December 2018 and January 2019, many new populations of this species were reported in south-west regions of Poland (Lower Silesia: Jawor, Legnica, Nysa, Opole, Oława, Racibórz, Świdnica, Wrocław; Upper Silesia: Zdzieszowice) what confirms the species expansion to the north of Poland.
Raman spectroscopy of synthetic, geological and biological vaterite: a Raman spectroscopic study
2009
Raman spectroscopy was used to study vaterite samples of biological, geological and synthetic origin. The Raman band positions and the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the lattice modes and the internal modes of the carbonate ion of all specimens show no significant differences between vaterites of different origin. With increasing Mg concentrations, synthetic vaterite samples show increasing FWHM in the region of the lattice modes and the three ν1 bands, whereas no change in luminescence was detected. In contrast, in situ measurements of vaterite areas in freshwater cultured pearls (FWCPs) by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) together with the Rama…
Divu brīvības pakāpju savienojumu noteikšana ar inerciālajiem sensoriem
2022
Inerciālie sensori ir plaši izmantoti, lai no to datiem aprēķinātu un aprakstītu fizikālu objektu orientācijas. Lai iegūtu orientāciju, kam nav laikā uzkrājoša kļūda, papildus bieži lieto magnētiskā lauka sensorus, kuru mērījumi reālās situācijas mēdz būt trokšņaini. Darbā ir izstrādāts algoritms, kas spēj izmantot inerciālā sensora datus un informāciju par mehānisko sistēmu, lai aprakstītu divu ķermeņu relatīvo orientāciju, neizmantojot magnētiskā lauka sensorus. Ir izveidota eksperimentālā sistēma, kur izstrādātais algoritms salīdzināts ar pieeju, kas lieto komerciālus inerciālo sensoru mezglus, kas izmanto magnētiskā lauka sensorus. Eksperimentos noteiktā algoritma kļūda ir 7.52o, BNO055…
Versatile wet-chemical synthesis of non-agglomerated CaCO3 vaterite nanoparticles.
2011
Calcium carbonate (vaterite) nanoparticles of 20-60 nm size were obtained without stabilizing tensides by heating a dispersion of calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO(3)) in ethylene glycol for 30 minutes at 40 to 100 °C.
Ethnobotanical investigation on wild medicinal plants in the Monti Sicani Regional Park (Sicily, Italy)
2014
Ethnopharmacological relevance The area of the "Monte Sicani Regional Park" (Central Western Sicily, southern Italy) has been quantitatively and extensively investigated in an ethnobotanical study for the first time. A total of 108 wild species are used for medicinal purposes, while, according to our study, the uses of 9 species have not previously been reported in ethnobotanical studies in Italy (e.g.; the use of Kickxia elatine (L.) Dumort. for the treatment of hyperhydrosis of the feet, the use of Lavatera agrigentina Tineo for cough and bronchitis). Aim of the study: The aim of this paper is to analyze, through quantitative indicators, the extent of the current knowledge on medicinal us…
Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation in patients with large biliary stones and periampullary diverticula: Results of a multicentric series.
2018
Abstract Introduction Stone extraction represents the most frequent indication for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) is a recent introduced approach consisting of an endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation following limited endoscopic sphyncterotomy (ES), which has been proven to be safe and effective for extraction of large common bile duct (CBD) stones. Peri-ampullary diverticula (PAD) are described in 10–20% of patients undergoing ERCP. Aim of our study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of EPLBD for the extraction of large biliary stones in patients with PAD. Methods The prospectively collected endoscopy databa…
Percutaneous antegrade electropapillotomy. Study in dogs.
1984
Antegrade electropapillotomy using the percutaneous transcystic approach was successfully performed in 11 of 16 dogs. When the intervention was effective, the pressure gradient between common bile duct and duodenum decreased from 6 to 1.3 mm Hg on average and returned to gradients slightly below the initial values after 4 weeks, owing to reactivation of the sphincter mechanism. Ineffective cutting, however, resulted in a temporary pressure rise. In one dog a papillary stenosis developed and was relieved by antegrade electrocutting. Irrespective of the success of the papillotomy, rises in levels of serum glutamine oxaloacetic and pyruvic transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, serum amylase and …
