Live nativity and brucellosis, Sicily.
2006
To the Editor: Worldwide, brucellosis remains a major zoonosis and an important cause of travel-associated illness (1). Brucellosis is transmitted to humans through the consumption of infected, unpasteurized, animal-milk products; direct contact with infected animal parts; or inhalation of infected aerosolized particles. We report an outbreak of brucellosis in a small village of the Ionic coast of Messina province (eastern Sicily). In 2003, health authorities in the Messina province were notified of 29 cases of brucellosis; 18 of the patients were members of 9 different families. All patients had observed a Nativity pantomime that used live animals and was organized by the local population.…
Treatment of human brucellosis with rifampin plus minocycline
2003
In order to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a high intravenous dose of rifampin plus oral minocycline (administered daily for 3 weeks) for the treatment of acute brucellosis, we retrospectively reviewed the outcome of 239 consecutive patients (135 adults and 104 children) diagnosed and treated over a 17-year period in Italy. The combination used resulted in 100% response and a relapse rate lower than 2%. Fifty-two (30 adults and 22 children) (29.8%) complained of mild adverse effects including an increase in aspartate aminotransferase (>250 IU) observed in 12 cases and considered related to rifampin and in 11 cases a reversible hyperpigmentation of the tongue attributed to minocyc…
Quantitative computed tomography-assisted osteodensitometry of the pelvis after press-fit cup fixation: a prospective ten-year follow-up.
2011
Background: As a follow-up of a previously reported three-year study, we analyzed the periprosthetic acetabular cortical and cancellous bone density changes at ten years after implantation of a press-fit cup. Methods: Prospective clinical, radiographic, and quantitative computed tomography examinations were performed within ten days and at mean periods of one, three, and ten years after total hip arthroplasty with a press-fit cup, a femoral stem with a tapered design, and alumina-alumina pairing. Periacetabular cortical and cancellous bone density (mg CaHA/mL) in the cranial, ventral, and dorsal regions about the cup were measured for twenty-four hips in vivo. Results: All acetabular cups s…
Arturo Dazzi e Marcello Piacentini: un lungo sodalizio
2020
The paper investigates the collaboration between an artist and an architect who were among the main protagonists of the Italian cultural scene of the first half of the twentieth century: Arturo Dazzi and Marcello Piacentini. Starting from the plaster model which portrays them together and that reproduces a detail of a monumental work conceived by both between 1924 and 1931, the Arco ai Caduti of Genoa, the analysis will briefly focus on the occasions when the two characters collaborated for the realization of monumental civil and religious works until the post-war period. This case is a significant example of the conception and debate about the relationship between the figurative arts and t…
LE SPECIE DELLA FLORA VASCOLARE SICILIANA INCLUSE NELLE NORMATIVE INTERNAZIONALI
2012
Species of sicilian vascular flora included in the international laws. The present paper aims to divulgate the knowledge of the Sicilian flora protected at international level and includes a check-list of the Sicilian vascular flora recorded in international normatives on the protection of nature and biodiversity. For each normative general information is given together with a reference list to further deepen the contents, the aims and the present implementation in Italy.
Barcellona e Palermo: due città costiere a confronto
2007
Palermo e Barcellona sono due grandi città costiere del Mediterraneo, che hanno avuto molte cose in comune; storicamente il Mediterraneo è stato uno straordinario milieu di veicolazione culturale; oggi però la mediterraneità non ha più lo stesso potere unificante del passato. Diverso e in divenire è il ruolo attuale e futuro del Mediterraneo; assai diversificati sono i ruoli degli stati, delle regioni e delle città che vi si affacciano a partire dalla forte differenziazione tra le coste europee e le coste nord-africane e mediorientali. Rimanendo nell’ambito europeo, si propone un confronto tra Barcellona e Palermo, che oggi, a parità di risorse culturali, storiche, paesaggistiche e ambienta…
Iugalia vetustissima. Argenti, avori e smalti nel Tesoro della Chiesa Madre (XIV-XV secolo)
2016
Nel contributo si approfondisce lo studio di oggetti liturgici già noti (due calici di argentieri e smaltisti siciliani toscaneggianti, di fine XIV-inizi XV secolo il primo, del 1429 il secondo; un reliquiario di argentiere genovese e maestranze veneziane della prima metà del XV secolo), mentre si portano per la prima volta all'attenzione degli studiosi del settore altri tre manufatti: una croce da tavolo, già stauroteca, in argento, opera siciliana della metà del XV secolo, su cui si innestano due statuette protogotiche a tutto tondo di Dolenti in avorio o osso, forse dovute a maestranza iberica di fine XIII-inizi XIV secolo, ed un Crocifisso metallico su croce lignea del XVIII secolo; una…
The interpretation of Bach's gamba sonata BWV 1029 on the cello
2006
Masteroppgave i utøvende musikk 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand The interpretation of Bach’s gamba sonata BWV 1029 on the cello deals with the interpretation of gamba sonatas on the cello from the modern perspective. It is written in the English language by Ana Marinkovic and it is 55 pages long. It is a master thesis from the Agder University College, the Conservatory of Music in Kristiansand Norway, the classical department. Key words in my thesis are: Baroque style, analysis, interpretation, gamba and cello. I am trying to explore the historical interpretation of Baroque music, through the sonata BWV1029 which was written in that period by Johan Sebastian Bach (1685- 1750). Accord…
Periacetabular Cortical and Cancellous Bone Mineral Density Loss After Press-Fit Cup Fixation
2012
The impact of total hip arthroplasty on strain adaptive bone remodeling has been extensively analyzed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. In this study, we present a prospective computed tomography-assisted study of periacetabular cortical and cancellous bone mineral density (in milligrams of calcium hydroxyapatite [CaHA] per milliliter, or mgCaHA/mL) changes 10 days and 1, 3, and 7 years after press-fit cup implantation for 38 hips in vivo. Cancellous bone mineral density decreased by O -63% ventral and O -85% dorsal to the cup; cortical bone mineral density, by O -22% ventral and O -18% dorsal to the cup. The presented periacetabular strain adaptive bone mineral density data are the most…
