Marcadores clínicos y estudio de estilo de vida en el seguimiento de la enfermedad celíaca

2020

La enfermedad celíaca (EC) es un trastorno sistémico, crónico y de origen autoinmune que afecta a individuos genéticamente susceptibles. Se presenta con una gran variedad de signos, síntomas y enfermedades asociadas, incluso también puede cursar de manera asintomática, lo que hace difícil su diagnóstico. La EC se diagnostica con mayor frecuencia en las mujeres y a edades más tempranas que a los hombres. Debido a la gran hererogeneidad en la forma de presentación de la EC, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión sistemática, donde estudios recientes, muestran una variación del espectro clínico de la enfermedad en función de la edad. En niños pequeños predomina la forma clásica con síntomas como di…

Exercising exclusions: Space, visibility, and monitoring of the exercising fat female body

2019

The author’s aim is to inspect the position of the fat (female) body in the field of exercise. Specifically, the author is interested in fat women’s experiences of their treatment while exercising in public, and argues that, in particular, public spaces for exercise, such as gyms and swimming pools, are currently discursively and concretely constructed as “exclusive” spaces for the normative bodied. Bodies that are deemed non-normative, such as fat bodies, are often made either invisible or intolerable in the discourse of physical activity and exercise. Consequently, public spaces for exercise such as gyms or swimming pools are seen as out of bounds for non-normative bodies and this is refl…

Salute del re, salute del popolo. Mangiare e curarsi nella Sicilia tardomedievale

2013

Mangiare e curarsi sono due dimensioni fortemente connesse al corpo, tra bisogno e piacere. Due dimensioni dense di sfumature sociali e locali, religiose ed economiche, che implicano conoscenze e terapie diverse a seconda dell’età e del sesso ma soprattutto del ruolo sociale. Con un’attenzione particolare a corti (signorili, vescovili, reali) e città, il lavoro focalizza metodi, usi e pratiche curative e alimentari di sovrani e isolani. Eat and self-care are two dimension strongly connected to the body, between need and pleasure. Two dimensions full of nuances social and local, religious and economic, that involve knowledge and different therapies depending on age and gender but also the so…

Changes in food habits amongst Norwegian adolescents in 2016 and 2019 according to gender and socioeconomic status

2021

Background: Monitoring dietary habits is important in order to identify risk groups and as a basis for targeted public health initiatives. Objective: To study trends in consumption of selected foods and beverages from 2016 to 2019 amongst Norwegian adolescents according to gender and parental education. Design: Repeated cross-sectional study amongst 25,996 adolescents, aged 14–17 years old. Consumption of selected food and beverages was measured by an online food frequency questionnaire and general linear models were applied to estimate changes in dietary habits. Results: Between 2016 and 2019, we observed a reduced frequency of consumption of vegetables (from 4.7 to 4.4 times/week), fruit …

Sex differences in food choices, adherence to dietary recommendations and plasma lipid profile in type 2 diabetes

2016

Background and aims Diabetic women have a more adverse plasma lipid profile than men. Sex differences in dietary habits may play a role, but are little investigated. The study evaluates the quality of diet, adherence to the nutritional recommendations of the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group and their relation with plasma lipid in men and women with diabetes. Methods and results We studied 2573 people, aged 50–75, enrolled in the TOSCA.IT study (clinicaltrials.gov; NCT00700856). Plasma lipids were measured centrally. Diet was assessed with a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Women had a more adverse plasma lipid profile than men. Women consumed significantly more legumes, veg…

Tracking mite trophic interactions by multiplex PCR

2020

Background A thorough knowledge of trophic webs in agroecosystems is essential to achieve successful biological pest control. Phytoseiid mites are the most efficient natural enemies of tetranychid mites, which include several important pests worldwide. Nevertheless, phytoseiids may feed on other food sources including other microarthropods, plants and even other phytoseiids (intraguild predation), which can interfere with biological control services. Molecular gut content analysis is a valuable tool for characterizing trophic interactions, mainly when working on microarthropods such as mites. We have designed new primers for Phytoseiidae, Tetranychidae and Thysanoptera identification and th…

Ecology of Vastedda della valle del Belìce cheeses: A review and recent findings to stabilize the traditional production

2018

The increasing request for classic foods has led to a higher demand for cheeses enjoying a “recognition of quality” status. This phenomenon has also affected Sicilian dairy products, in particular protected designation of origin (PDO) “Vastedda della valle del Belìce” (VdB), a cheese traditionally available only during the summer season, but requested year round. The variations of the microbial populations of raw milk among the seasons influence the microbiological quality of the cheeses produced. This review article reports the historical importance of cheeses and the traditional equipment used for dairy productions in Sicily with a specific focus on VdB. The microbial ecology of this chee…
