Los veinte nombres de colores de caballos en Isidoro de Sevilla (orig. 12, 1, 48-55)

2015

Este artículo analiza y discute el origen, significado y empleo de veinte términos referidos a colores de caballos en las Etimologías de Isidoro, de los que sostenemos que murteus es el étimo del castellano morcillo, y que glaucus significaba en realidad ‘tordo grisá- ceo’. Isidoro clasifica los colores en cuatro grupos: rojos, blancos, mezclados y oscuros. El análisis de las fuentes literarias, de la estructura del texto y de la verdadera etimología de los términos discutidos muestra que algunos neologismos asociados a nombres de colores designan en realidad distintos tipos de caballos, como el garañón, el caballo salvaje, el berberisco y el poni.

Reconstruction of vertebral body in thoracolumbar AO type A post-traumatic fractures by balloon kyphoplasty: a series of 85 patients with a long foll…

2019

Background Traumatic fractures of the thoracolumbar spine are common injuries, accounting for approximately 90% of all spinal traumas. Optimal management of these fractures still gives rises to much debate in the literature. Currently, one of the treatment options in young patients with stable traumatic vertebral fractures is conservative treatment using braces. Kyphoplasty as a minimally invasive procedure has been shown to be effective in stabilizing vertebral body fractures, resulting in immediate pain relief and improved physical function with early return to work activity. The aim of the study is to report VAS, ODI scores, and kyphosis correction following treatment. Methods This is a …

CRT-727 Percutaneous Balloon Atrial Septostomy for Direct Left Heart Decompression in Patients on Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation

2014

Severe myocardial dysfunction and added afterload from the Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) arterial cannula may lead to significant rise in left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic and left atrial (LA) pressures. This may result in ischemia, lower likelihood of ventricular recovery and hence

Drug-Coated Balloon vs. Stent for de novo Non-small Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

2021

Introduction: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) has been an attractive option in de novo vessels. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCB vs. stent for treating de novo lesions in non-small vessels.Methods: Studies in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science were searched (from their commencement to March 2021). This meta-analysis was performed by Review Manager 5.3.Results: A total of 3 random controlled trials (RCTs) with 255 patients and 2 observational studies (OS) with 265 patients were included in this meta-analysis following our inclusion criteria. It could be observed that DCB presented no …

Metabolites from Mediterranean plant: characterization and trasformation. chemotaxonomic assessmentand biological activity

2016

Questo progetto di ricerca ha lo scopo di ampliare le conoscenze di alcune piante appartenenti alla flora Mediterranea. Le piante da studiare sono state scelte in seguito ad un’attenta analisi bibliografica tra specie poco sudiate. La scelta è quindi ricaduta su nove specie appartenenti al genere Anthemis, due specie appartenenti al genere Pulicaria e sulle specie di Tetraclinis articulata, Salvia argentea, Ajuga tenorei, Ballota hispanica, Moluccella Spinosa e Thapsia garganica. Di esse sono stati preparati ed identificati i componenti degli oli essenziali e successivamente effettuati su di essi i saggi antibatterici. Dagli estratti delle specie di Tetraclinis articulata e Ajuga tenorei so…

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in patients with major trauma and uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock: a systematic rev…

2021

AbstractBackgroundMultiple studies regarding the use of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) in patients with non-compressible torso injuries and uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock were recently published. To date, the clinical evidence of the efficacy of REBOA is still debated. We aimed to conduct a systematic review assessing the clinical efficacy and safety of REBOA in patients with major trauma and uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock.MethodsWe systematically searched MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE and CENTRAL up to June 2020. All randomized controlled trials and observational studies that investigated the use of REBOA compared to resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) with/witho…

Practicing Ballot Secrecy: Postal Voting and the Witness Requirement at the 2019 Finnish Elections

2021

Electoral rights belong to the core of citizenship in democratic nation-states. Voting, then, represents an actualization of the relationship between the citizen and the political community. For citizens living outside the country in which they are eligible to vote, voting signifies a rare institutional connection to the country of origin. The aim of this article is to explore the introduction of the postal vote, a new form of voting for external voters at Finnish elections, from the grassroots perspective. The study focuses on how a central policy concern, safeguarding ballot secrecy, was resolved in the policy implementation by the witness requirement, and how the individual voters subseq…

Chemical composition and biological activity of the essential oil of Ballota hispanica (L.) Benth. growing wild in Sicily

2015

Ballota L. comprises several relevant species largely used for their excellent therapeutic properties. Ballota hispanica (L.) Benth. is widely used in herbal medicine, and it is sold in herbalist shops for its sedative and antispasmodic properties. Considering its traditional medicinal use and the lack of scientific studies on the volatile components of this species as well as on its biological activities, in this study the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of B. hispanica, collected in Sicily, was evaluated by gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. α-Elemol was the most abundant component of the oil (10.9%), followed by α-ylangene (8.5%),…
