¿Revuelta de Masaniello o revolución de Nápoles? Una reinterpretación
2020
Between 7 and 16 July 1647 a popular revolt, led by a young fishmonger, Masaniello, shook the city of Naples. The killing of Masaniello, however, did not lead to the end of the riots. On the contrary, the revolt involved the entire kingdom of Naples, radicalized in an anti-Spanish sense and resulted in the proclamation of the Republic and the call of a French prince, the Duke of Guisa. On these events, and especially on the fracture that permanently opposed people and nobles, historiography has long debated. It is possible, however, today, also on the basis of new archival documents, to propose a different interpretation of the events, which integrates the two moments and allows an updated …
Biotic recovery after the end-Triassic extinction event: Evidence from marine bivalves of the Neuquén Basin, Argentina
2017
We analyze the Late Triassic extinction and Early Jurassic recovery of bivalve faunas within marine environments in the Atuel River area of the Neuquén Basin, Argentina. Data were collected from a hundred samples with invertebrates in a well-exposed uppermost Triassic to lower Jurassic section in the Neuquén Basin (southern Mendoza Province, Argentina) and allow a high-resolution reconstruction of the local diversity dynamics. The nearly continuous presence of marine stenohaline major taxa such as cnidarians, rhynchonelliform brachiopods, echinoderms and cephalopods indicates normal salinity throughout. All bivalve species were identified, and each occurrence was recorded in meters above th…
‘Caprice de chaconne’ (1671): Symmetry and proportions in Francesco Corbetta’s work for Baroque guitar
2018
For performers of Early Music, there is an everlasting quest to unveil new perspectives on a historically distant repertoire in search of new ways of performing and understanding the music. This is true for all performers of Early Music, including Baroque guitarists. A currently very popular performance piece is Francesco Corbetta’s ‘Caprice de chaconne’ (1671, ff. 72–73), which is to be found in his 1671 Baroque guitar tablature-collection, La guitarre royalle. Displaying advanced technical performance skills, embroidered connections between temporal coordinates that border between fantasy and order, it serves as an excellent display, not only of the performer’s technical skills, but also …
STIFFNESS AORTICA STIMATA MEDIANTE METODICA OSCILLOMETRICA E PROGRESSIONE DEL DANNO RENALE IN PAZIENTI IPERTESI NEFROPATICI
2022
Scopo del lavoro: Scopo principale del nostro studio è stato quello di analizzare la possibile relazione tra aumento della rigidità aortica e progressione della malattia renale cronica in un gruppo di pazienti ipertesi nefropatici, endpoint secondari riguardavano l’eventuale ruolo prognostico della pulse wave velocity (PWV) sugli eventi cardiovascolari (CV) e sulla mortalità totale. Materiali e metodi: sono stati arruolati 395 pazienti che sono stati sottoposti a esami bioumorali, monitoraggio ambulatoriale della pressione arteriosa e stima della stiffness aortica mediante dispositivo oscillometrico Arteriograph. Sono stati inoltre registrati i dati relativi all’insorgenza di eventi card…
Gli strumenti del rinnovamento urbano di Trapani
2012
Trapani ha avviato un processo di profondo rinnovamento che in un breve arco di tempo ha visto la riqualificazione del porto, del centro storico e della città, riverberandosi anche sul suo territorio. Il processo ha preso avvio in occasione dello svolgimento nel porto di Trapani delle regate dell’America’s Cup nel 2005/06, per proseguire e radicarsi nel territorio grazie ad una programmazione integrata tra più soggetti della pubblica amministrazione, alla capacità di attrarre investimenti esogeni e al coinvolgimento dei privati e della popolazione locale. Trama portante delle politiche messe in atto è stata l’identità di Trapani come città portuale: gli interventi di trasformazione ne hanno…
Dépistage du cancer du sein : en route vers le futur
2016
Breast cancer remains a potentially lethal disease, which requires aggressive treatments and is associated with long-term consequences. Its prognosis is linked to both tumor biology and burden at diagnosis. Although treatments have allowed important improvements in prognosis over the past 20 years, breast cancer screening remains necessary. Mammographic screening allows earlier stage diagnoses and a decrease of breast cancer specific mortality. However, breast cancer screening modalities should be revised with the objective to address demonstrated limitations of mammographic screening (limited benefit, imperfect sensitivity and specificity, overdiagnoses, radiation-induced morbidity). Furth…
Cancer and the microbiome : potential applications as new tumor biomarker
2015
Abstract: Microbial communities that colonize in humans are collectively described as microbiome. According to conservative estimates, about 15% of all types of neoplasms are related to different infective agents. However, current knowledge is not sufficient to explain how the microbiome contributes to the growth and development of cancers. Large and thorough studies involving colonized, diverse and complex microbiome entities are required to identify microbiome as a potential cancer marker and to understand how the immune system is involved in response to pathogens. This article reviews the existing evidence supporting the enigmatic association of transformed microbiome with the developmen…
Pancreatic cancer: risk and preventive factors
2018
In Asian countries, the increasing incidence of obesity has only recently opened a debate that has been ongoing in the West for a long time, not only regarding its cardiovascular consequences, but also the relationship between obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cancer
Therapeutic modulation of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)
2011
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a calcium-independent phospholipase A2 that circulates in plasma in association with lipoprotein particles, whereas in atherosclerotic plaques it is co-localized with macrophages. Lp-PLA2 generates two proinflammatory mediators, lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidized nonesterified fatty acids, which play a role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions and formation of a necrotic core, leading to more vulnerable plaques. Epidemiologic studies demonstrate that increased circulating levels of Lp-PLA2 predict an increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular mortality. Furthermore, histologic examination of diseased hum…
International survey of violence risk assessment practices
2016
International audience; Objective Mental health professionals are routinely called upon to assess the violence risk presented by their patients, frequently aided by structured instruments. Though surveys of risk assessment and management have been conducted, these efforts have been largely circumscribed to individual countries and have not compared the practices of members of different professional disciplines. Method A web-based survey was developed to examine the international use of structured instruments in the violence risk assessment process across five continents and to compare the perceived utility of such instruments by psychologists, psychiatrists, and nurses. The survey was trans…
