Determination of biogenic amines in meat by combined ion-exchange capillary gas chromatography
1984
Abstract A procedure is described for the determination of putrescine, cadaverine and histamine in meat. Crude perchloric acid extracts were pre-separated on a weakly acidic cation exchanger and the amines quantified by capillary gas chromatography. The diamines were analysed as trifluoroacetyl derivatives and histamine was converted into N α -trifluoroacetyl-N τ -ethoxycarbonylhistamine. The accuracy of the determination of diamines was examined by a precipitation pre-separation method and by mass fragmentometric quantification. The proposed procedure allows the sensitive, sufficiently precise and highly specific determination of putrescine and cadaverine in meat.
Laboratory Tests in Crohn’s Disease
2015
Laboratory tests are useful for diagnosing Crohn’s disease, assessing disease activity, identifying complications, and monitoring response to therapy. Their role has been considered limited in the past due to lack of specificity. The introduction of biological therapies in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has renewed interest in inflammatory markers, especially C-reactive protein (CRP), given their potential to select responders to these treatments. There are several reasons why laboratory markers have been studied in IBD in the past decades: firstly, to gain an objective measurement of disease activity as symptoms are often subjective; secondly, to avoid invasive (endoscopic) procedures wh…
Nouvelles stratégies innovantes en immunothérapie
2018
Resume Les progres recents de l’immunotherapie en oncologie avec le developpement des anticorps anti-PD1/PD-L1 revolutionnent la prise en charge oncologique. L’immuno-oncologie se developpe ainsi dans la plupart des types histologiques de cancer. Malgre tout, l’utilisation des anticorps anti-PD1/PD-L1 en monotherapie est limitee par une reponse restreinte a une sous-population de malades representant environ 25-30 % des patients dans la plupart des indications. Le developpement de nouvelles strategies se base sur cette observation. Ainsi on note le developpement de differentes strategies ayant pour objectifs de mieux selectionner les malades ou de combiner les checkpoints inhibiteurs avec d…
Evaluation of proton MR spectroscopy at 3 Tesla without endorectal coil in patients with a localized prostate cancer treated with exclusive radiother…
2011
Prostate cancer is the most frequent tumour affecting the male population. When the prostate is not removed and is treated with radiation therapy, PSA slowly decreases over time to reach its nadir, even sometimes 18 to 24 months after the completion of radiation therapy without combined androgen suppression therapy. When combined with hormones, PSA falls abruptely with no possibility to perceive the impact of either hormones or radiation effects on PSA.The optimal value of PSA that should be reached after radiation therapy (nadir) and time to this nadir are still unclear.Even when a satisfactory value of the PSA nadir is reached, on-going variations of the PSA and its “bounce” effects, whic…
Expression Patterns and Subcellular Localization of Carbonic Anhydrases Are Developmentally Regulated during Tooth Formation
2014
Abstract Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) play fundamental roles in several physiological events, and emerging evidence points at their involvement in an array of disorders, including cancer. The expression of CAs in the different cells of teeth is unknown, let alone their expression patterns during odontogenesis. As a first step towards understanding the role of CAs during odontogenesis, we used immunohistochemistry, histochemistry and in situ hybridization to reveal hitherto unknown dynamic distribution patterns of eight CAs in mice. The most salient findings include expression of CAII/Car2 not only in maturation-stage ameloblasts (MA) but also in the papillary layer, dental papilla mesenchyme, …

Arte, sapere e sussunzione biopolitica nell’età del capitalismo cognitivo
2011
La ricerca che in questa occasione assume la sua prima e parziale forma espositiva è indirizzata all’analisi del rapporto intercorrente tra l’attività definita “artistica” e il regime di accumulazione post-fordista. Con essa si propone dunque l’indagine del ruolo dei saperi e delle conoscenze, in particolare di quelli afferenti al campo artistico, nel processo di sussunzione biopolitica del lavoro alle leggi dell’accumulazione del capitale a partire dall’ipotesi del cosiddetto capitalismo cognitivo. Per appagare l’esigenza scientifica di definizione dell’oggetto indagato, all’interno di un quadro teorico e metodologico coerente, si cercherà in prima battuta di esporre la concezione material…

An adventurous learning journey. Physiotherapists’ conceptions of learning and integrating cognitive functional therapy into clinical practice
2020
Background: Recent low back pain guidelines recommend a BPS approach to the management of disabling low back pain. However, the most effective way of teaching physiotherapists to implement these approaches remains unknown. The present qualitative study aimed to explore physiotherapists' conceptions of learning and integrating Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) into clinical practice in Finnish primary health care.Methods: We interviewed 22 physiotherapists, who participated in four to six days of CFT workshops. A phenomenographic approach was used to explore the variation in the physiotherapists' conceptions of this process.Results: Four themes emerged from the data: 1) membership of work c…
Training of Physical Therapists to Deliver Individualized Biopsychosocial Interventions to Treat Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions: A Scoping Review
2021
Abstract Objective Current guidelines recommend management of musculoskeletal pain conditions from a biopsychosocial approach; however, biopsychosocial interventions delivered by physical therapists vary considerably in effectiveness. It is unknown whether the differences are explained by the intervention itself, the training and/or competency of physical therapists delivering the intervention, or fidelity of the intervention. The aim was to investigate and map the training, competency assessments, and fidelity checking of individualized biopsychosocial interventions delivered by physical therapists to treat musculoskeletal pain conditions. Methods A scoping review methodology was employed,…
