Tolerance, Adaptation, and Cell Response Elicited by Micromonospora sp. Facing Tellurite Toxicity: A Biological and Physical-Chemical Characterization
2022
The intense use of tellurium (Te) in industrial applications, along with the improper disposal of Te-derivatives, is causing their accumulation in the environment, where oxyanion tellurite (TeO32−) is the most soluble, bioavailable, and toxic Te-species. On the other hand, tellurium is a rare metalloid element whose natural supply will end shortly with possible economic and technological effects. Thus, Te-containing waste represents the source from which Te should be recycled and recovered. Among the explored strategies, the microbial TeO32− biotransformation into less toxic Te-species is the most appropriate concerning the circular economy. Actinomycetes are ideal candidates in…
The Matrix e il fumetto. Questioni filosofiche
2019
Il presente articolo prende in esame il caso dell’interazione del fumetto Razzi Amari di S. Disegni e M. Caviglia con il notissimo film The Matrix di Larry e Andy Wachowski. Lo scopo principale della nostra indagine è mettere in evidenza e discutere l’influenza che i mezzi espressivi utilizzati nel fumetto e nel film esercitano sul modo in cui il lettore/spettatore medio si rapporta alle questioni filosofiche che emergono dalle vicende narrate. L’importanza del tema affrontato da questo articolo sta, tra le altre cose, nel rivelare che sia i film che i fumetti, oltre ad intrattenere piacevolmente lettori e spettatori appartenenti a classi sociali e generazioni diverse l’una dall’altra, poss…

Phenotypic spectrum and genomics of undiagnosed arthrogryposis multiplex congenital
2022
BackgroundArthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is characterised by congenital joint contractures in two or more body areas. AMC exhibits wide phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. Our goals were to improve the genetic diagnosis rates of AMC, to evaluate the added value of whole exome sequencing (WES) compared with targeted exome sequencing (TES) and to identify new genes in 315 unrelated undiagnosed AMC families.MethodsSeveral genomic approaches were used including genetic mapping of disease loci in multiplex or consanguineous families, TES then WES. Sanger sequencing was performed to identify or validate variants.ResultsWe achieved disease gene identification in 52.7% of AMC index pati…

Muscleblind, BSF and TBPH are mislocalized in the muscle sarcomere of a Drosophila myotonic dystrophy model
2012
SummaryMyotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic disease caused by the pathological expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the 3' UTR of the DMPK gene. In the DMPK transcripts, the CUG expansions sequester RNA-binding proteins into nuclear foci, including transcription factors and alternative splicing regulators such as MBNL1. MBNL1 sequestration has been associated with key features of DM1. However, the basis behind a number of molecular and histological alterations in DM1 remain unclear. To help identify new pathogenic components of the disease, we carried out a genetic screen using a Drosophila model of DM1 that expresses 480 interrupted CTG repeats, i(CTG)480, and a collection of…
Intra-Articular Injection of Botulinum Toxin for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
2023
The purpose of the present paper was to review the available evidence on intra-articular botulinum toxin (BTX) injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to compare it to other conservative treatment options. A systematic review of the literature was performed on the PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Pedro and Research Gate databases with the following inclusion criteria: (1) randomized controlled trials (RCTs), (2) written in the English language, and (3) published on indexed journals in the last 20 years (2001–2021) dealing with the use of BTX intra-articular injection for the treatment of knee OA. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias to…
Herakleides Pontikos und die ps.-Plutarchische Schrift Peri Mousikes
2020
Si cerca di dimostrare che gli studiosi finora (seguendo Westphal) hanno attribuito troppe parti del trattatello ps.-plutarcheo "De musica" a Eraclide Pontico; a quest´ ultimo l´ ignoto autore ha attinto in realta´ solo quello che dice di aver letto nell´ iscrizione di Sicione. We try to show that up to now scholars (following Westphal) have attributed too many parts of the ps.-plutarcheo tract "De musica" to Eraclide Pontico; the unknown author drew from the latter only what he says he read in Sicyon's inscription.
Introduzione. Il suono delle cose
2018
This paper introduces the book of the theoretical texts by the composer Federico Incardona (Palermo, 1958-2006), collected and put in order by his students, now stored in the musicological library of Palermo University; it draws a concept map to guide the reader into Incardona’s labyrinthine path. The fundamental concepts, highlighted and analyzed, are: the “inaudito” (what you never heard) as the result of a research in which the composer is involved even physically; the “sign”, as a tool to objectify the unheard; the “tone row” as the order of notes obtained by their bonds with the sensations and experiences: the epiphany of the sound of things: the “tradition” as “permanent revolution”, …
CUZZOLIN P., Napoli M. (a c.di),Ancora su musica e fonetica nella Grecia antica
2006
L'articolo mostra come nella cultura greca antica sia dato di ritrovare, ancor prima di quanto abitualmente si creda, chiare tracce di una conoscenza non banale dei processi fonatori. L'idea che viene esplicitata è che all'interno della scuola pitagorica antica si reperivano nel canale orale umano, equiparato a un tubo sonoro simile a quello degli auli, tre punti che ne frazionavano la lunghezza secondo precisi rapporti in analogia al modo in cui si operava in quegli strumenti musicali, mediante l'apertura e chiusura dei fori praticati nei loro corpi sonori, per ottenere il frazionamento della lunghezza della colonna d'aria.
