The orbito-nasal area ofAsterolepis ornata, a Middle Devonian placoderm fish
2001
The structure of the orbito-nasal cavity in the antiarchan placoderm fish Asterolepis ornata has been studied, providing a detailed description of the premedian, rostral, and pineal plates, and bones of the sclerotic ring. Both eyes and nostrils were directed antero-latero-dorsally in Asterolepis. Eyes were enclosed within the sclerotic capsule. Nasal cavities were not opened into a so called “prenasal slit,” but directly above the head of fish. A new reconstruction of the nasal openings and position of the nasal sacs shows broader similarities between various antiarchs than was previously claimed, and allows the evaluation of the differences in the structure of the orbito-nasal cavities in…
Atti e perversioni
2022
Il contributo intende tracciare una ricognizione generale della rappresentazione nel cinema italiano dal dopoguerra a oggi del rapporto che intercorre tra gli atti a sfondo erotico e le perversioni associate. Attraverso una serie di casi di studio, l'analisi cercherà di rendere conto delle principali direttrici che hanno segnato il cinema nazionale nella messa in scena del rapporto tra italiani e eros in una società in continua trasformazione
«Un baciar furioso, un dispogliarsi»:Costanzo Festa and eroticism
2009
Nel saggio viene analizzato un madrigale di Costanzo Festa su testo poetico anonimo, a soggetto scopertamente erotico non schermato da ambientazioni pastorali o da metafore allusive. E' estremamente raro incontrare nle corpus madrigalesco intonazioni di testi di tale natura. Perciò la prima parte del saggio propone una circostanziata contestrualizzazione di tale madrigale, individuata nell'antripetrarchismo, e lo accosta alla raccolta di poesie erotiche di Aretino nota come "I modi". Nella seconda parte, il madrigale è analizzato dal punto di vista composiivo, evidenziando come la tematica erotica abbia spinto Festa ad inoltrarsi sul terreno dell'espressività, con singolare intensità.

Homoérotisme dans la prose arabe d’époque mamelouke. Analyse du récit fictionnel du chapitre sur l’éphèbe dans le Nasīm al-ṣabā (La brise du vent d’e…
2022
In his work entitled Nasim al-saba (The Breeze of the East Wind), Ibn Habib al-Halabi (d. 1377) dedicates a chapter to the description of a young man (ghulam). The interest of the author in the homoerotic theme confirms the prominent place this topic occupies in premodern Arabic literature. This chapter is characterized by the presence of two parts which differ from a stylistic point of view. The incipit and the closing part present a fictional story which looks like a maqama, while the central part is entirely descriptive. From the analysis of the fictional story, this study aims to show the central role that nature occupies in this part and which seems to constitute the main subject throu…
New Frontiers in the Treatment of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia.
2021
: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disorder. The most common cause is a mutation in both alleles of the gene encoding for the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, although other causative mutations have been identified. Complications of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease are common in these patients; therefore, reducing the elevated LDL-cholesterol burden is critical in their management. Conventionally, this is achieved by patients initiating lipid-lowering therapy, but this can present challenges in clinical practice. Fortunately, novel therapeutic strategies have enabled promising innovations in HoFH treatment. This review highlights recent and ongo…
TEATRO MUSICAL Y PERSPECTIVA DE GÉNERO: LA OBRA SICALÍPTICA DE VICENTE LLEÓ DURANTE SU ETAPA EN EL TEATRO ESLAVA DE MADRID (1907-1912)
2020
A principios del siglo XX surgió un nuevo modelo de teatro bufo denominado género sicalíptico caracterizado por sus altas dosis de frivolidad y erotismo que hizo furor en la escena madrileña. Vicente Lleó Balbastre (1870-1922) fue el máximo exponente del género en el teatro musical. Bajo su dirección, como empresario y compositor, el Teatro Eslava se convirtió en el templo de la sicalipsis. En este artículo se estudia el nacimiento y eclosión del género, se recopilan todas las obras sicalípticas de Vicente Lleó en la época dorada de la sicalipsis en el teatro musical y se analizan las principales características de su estilo compositivo.

Cardiovascular effects of air pollution
2017
Air pollution is composed of particulate matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and ozone. PM is classified according to size into coarse particles (PM 10), fine particles (PM 2.5) and ultrafine particles. We aim to provide an original review of the scientific evidence from epidemiological and experimental studies examining the cardiovascular effects of outdoor air pollution. Pooled epidemiological studies reported that a 10 μg/m 3 increase in long-term exposure to PM 2.5 was associated with an 11% increase in cardiovascular mortality. Increased cardiovascular mortality was also related to long-term and short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide. Exposure to air pollution…
