Effectiveness of early administration of a single dose of steroids and escin after loss of signal on electromyographic signal recovery during neuromo…
2022
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single early administration of dexamethasone and escin after loss of signal (LOS) during a neuromonitored total thyroidectomy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of results concerning consecutive patients undergoing total thyroidectomy was performed. Patients included in the study were divided into two groups: Group 1 for which a “wait and see” strategy was used; Group 2, receiving dexamethasone and escin immediately after LOS detection. Results: Overall 37 patients were included in Group 1 and 35 in Group 2. LOS recovery occurring in 29.7% of cases (n. 11) versus 65.7% (n. 23) respectively (p < 0.001). Postoperative fibrol…
Tomographic image processing for the morphological and metrological study of Valsalva sinuses
2012
This Phd thesis deals with the design and the use of image processing tools in order to allow a reliable and objective study of the sinuses of Valsalva which are important cavities of the aortic root. The proposed methods can be applied on cine-MR sequences and CT examinations without any change in the settings between two examinations.Firstly, we studied the morphology of this anatomical area and its constant properties in all images of the dataset. Sinuses are one of the main bright organs with limited movements. Hence a new algorithm has been designed. It detects and characterizes each bright organ by a single trajectory. Various tools of mathematical morphology are used for this step, a…
Blood Component Therapy and Coagulopathy in Trauma: A Systematic Review of the Literature from the Trauma Update Group
2016
Background Traumatic coagulopathy is thought to increase mortality and its treatment to reduce preventable deaths. However, there is still uncertainty in this field, and available literature results may have been overestimated. Methods We searched the MEDLINE database using the PubMed platform. We formulated four queries investigating the prognostic weight of traumatic coagulopathy defined according to conventional laboratory testing, and the effectiveness in reducing mortality of three different treatments aimed at contrasting coagulopathy (high fresh frozen plasma/packed red blood cells ratios, fibrinogen, and tranexamic acid administration). Randomized controlled trials were selected alo…
El Teatro Principal de Valencia durante la temporada teatral 1875-1876
2021
El presente artículo revisa toda la actuación operística que hubo en Valencia durante la temporada de 1875 a 1876, la primera que coincide con la restauración de la monarquía de Alfonso XII. A través de la actividad que se produjo en el Teatro Principal de Valencia, examinamos toda la labor operística que hubo en esta ciudad, ya que fue el único lugar donde se representó ópera en Valencia. Una temporada marcada, sin duda alguna, por el estreno de la obra de Verdi, Aida. Un debut que fue posible gracias a la participación del tenor asturiano Lorenzo Abruñedo. Señalamos, asimismo, la importante presencia de la soprano Anna Romilda Pantaleoni, una de las cantantes más sobresalientes en aquel m…
Apocryphal Passions of the Apostles in Croatian Glagolitic Texts
2020
In the course of the Middle Ages, apocryphal and hagiographic texts of The Acts of the Apostles of various origins became part of the Croatian Glagolitic literature. The Passion of Saint Andrew, for example, is documented in the sanctorale of nineteen Croatian Glagolitic breviaries dating from the period between the 14th and mid-16th centuries. The Glagolitic Passion is an abbreviated translation of the Latin Epistula presbyterorum et diaconorum Achaiae (BHL 428) from the 6th century. The texts of the Passion of Jamesthe Apostle (Jacobus Maior, apost., filius Zebedaei, frater Johannis, Passio, BHL 4057) are found in two Glagolitic breviaries, namely the Breviary of Vitus of Omi?alj (1396) a…
« Mouvement est nécessité » Pour une relation au monde du mouvement et de la musique
2021
Starting from a stationary state in order to feed a process, the idea of movement in music can affect both the sound material and the listening (the Hoerspiel...), both the view (musical theater) and the ancillary disciplines (dance or maping-video)... Based on examples taken in the 20th and 21st centuries (Debussy, Berg, Webern, Stravinsky, Stockhausen, Kagel, Ferrari, La Monte Young, Xenakis, Adams, De Chizy, De Mey, Trapani?), musicological study ultimately deduces that the metaphor of movement is for man an experience considered fundamental to his particular relationship to the world.
OVERTURE Love Love is a Pink Cake or Queering Chopin in Times of Homophobia
2021
An introduction to the three essays included in this section. The article highlights the right to know whether Chopin was gay and contextualizes this inquiry in a very long and pervasive historiographical tradition, essentially twohundred years long, dedicated to examine Chopin sexual orientation, on the one hand, and on the other the more recent tradition of queering western classical music composers. The main point is not to demonstrate categorically that Chopin was ?gay? (a relative, modern identity marker in any case) but rather to highlight the discourses that have presented him as unequivocally heterosexual.
Quot philosophi, tot sanniones: las descripciones de filósofos en la sátira latina
2019
El artículo trata la descripción de los filósofos y pseudofilósofos en la sátira latina. A una breve introducción donde se recalca cómo el ataque personal era un elemento clave en este género, sigue un examen de las descripciones insertas en lo que convencionalmente se conoce como sátira regular, pese a que Varrón también aparece incluido con la intención de completar el panorama. El análisis diacrónico de las descripciones invita a pensar que se trata de un tópico especialmente activo en la poesía satírica y que tiende a incrementarse con el paso del tiempo, proporcionando siempre una imagen negativa de los falsos sabios. Si juzgar la finalidad de este recurso de forma global es complicado…
CLAUSOLE VESSATORIE, NULLITÀ DI PROTEZIONE E POTERI DEL GIUDICE: ALCUNI PUNTI FERMI DOPO LE SENTENZE JŐRÖS E ASBEEK BRUSSE
2013
The paper takes the recent cases Erika Jőrös (Case C- 397/11,) and Asbeek Brusse,(case C-488-11), both dated 30 may 2013, as a starting point for a more general analysis of the ECJ’s approach to the legal consequences to be drawn by a national Court from finding that a contractual term is unfair. According to the Author, the approach adopted by the Court is the same that it has already been expressed in Mostaza Claro case. By revisiting the earlier Océno, the Court clarified that national courts have not only the right but even the duty to assess the fairness or unfairness of standards terms of their own motion. Well, beginning from Mostaza Claro judgement and until the last ones, the ECJ h…
Association between Intake of Energy and Macronutrients and Memory Impairment Severity in US Older Adults, National Health and Nutrition Examination …
2020
Without a cure, dementia affects about 50 million people worldwide. Understanding the effects of dietary habits, a key lifestyle behavior, on memory impairment is critical to inform early behavioral modification to delay further memory loss and progression to dementia. We examined the associations of total energy intake and energy intake from macronutrients with memory impairment among older US adults using data from the nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey study 2011&ndash
