Nation and/or Homeland: Identity in 19th-Century Music and Literature between Central and Mediterranean Europe

2012

The aim of this book is to focus on the development of national awareness elaborated around a series of different case studies, in which the terms nation, homeland and people have been applied. This Romantic lexicon identifies similar but various conceptions of the national idea in some countries dominated by Italian, German and Slavic cultures, and in some groups or minorities such as the Jews and the Vlachs in Central and Mediterranean Europe. In order to clarify the cultural framework, the authors explore the construction of identity through folk tunes, poetry inspired by popular culture, and opera in which the national myths or heroes appear. In the self-making tradition, the national t…

SINGLE ACCESS THORACOSCOPY IN BENIGN AND MALIGN PLEURIC PATHOLOGY

2012

(OBJECTIVE) Jacobeus and Bethune performed thoracoscopy under local anaesthesia, already on early 1900. A single access associated with local anaesthesia aims to improve procedure tolerance, shorten recovery and reduce costs. (METHODS) Premedication consists of atropine 0.01 mg/kg and midazolam (0,02-0.04 mg/kg). Pain control and sedation was obtained by remifentanile (0.05-0.1 mcg/kg/min). Local anaesthesia was made with lidocaine and ropivacaine. An incision of 20 mm is realised at 6° intercostal space for the “single-access-technique”, and two incisions for the “2-trocars-technique” (15 mm at 5°space - 10 mm at 6°/7°space). The 5 mm 0° camera is preferred for single-access technique. The…

Relationship between Empathy and Cortisol Awakening Response

2016

Con la finalidad de prevenir la conducta antisocial, el estudio de las bases biológicas de la empatía ha cobrado especial relevancia en los últimos años. Diversos estudios han resaltado la implicación del eje hipotálamo-hipófisis-adrenal (HHA) y el cortisol en la empatía, pero son escasos los que han estudiado la relación entre esta y la respuesta matutina de cortisol (CAR, por su nombre en inglés Cortisol Awakening Response) como indicador de la actividad basal del HHA. Este estudio analiza la asociación entre la empatía, tanto cognitiva como emocional, y la CAR en 39 hombres y 91 mujeres (47 fase folicular y 44 fase lútea del ciclo menstrual). La CAR se obtuvo a partir de muestras de sali…

Awake tracheotomy in a patient with stridor and dyspnoea caused by a sizeable malignant thyroid tumor: a case report and short review of the literatu…

Key Clinical Message Individual airway management is mandatory in patients with large goiters undergoing thyroid surgery. Preoperative endoscopic airway evaluation and imaging studies can support clinical decision making. Awake tracheotomy can be an effective and reasonable airway management strategy in such patients.

Recovery of rescuers from a 24-hour shift and its association with physical fitness

2013

The work of rescuers can be physically and psychologically very demanding so it is important for them to have sufficient recovery between work shifts. The purpose of this thesis was to study recovery of rescuers and to see if physical fitness is associated with recovery from work shifts. Heart rate variability (HRV) recordings reflect changes in the autonomic nervous system, and they were used for the analysis of stress and recovery. HRV was recorded for 96 hours, from the beginning of a 24-hour work shift to the beginning of the next shift. Physical fitness assessment included VO2max estimation with a submaximal bicycle ergometer test, and maximal strength testing (isometric bench press an…

"Awake Surgery" of Slow-Growing Tumors and Cortical Excitability Measured by EEG Recordings. Preliminary Results

2012

International audience; To investigate interhemispheric imbalance following "awake surgeries" of slow-growing tumors we recorded EEG in a visuo-manual RT paradigm. Increase of cortical excitability within the ipsilesional hemisphere was signed by increased ERPs amplitude for two patients. The cortical excitability in the lesioned hemisphere may be increased to maintain performances and cerebral plasticity.
