Beatrice Rosso Spatafora e i Luna (XV secolo)
2011
Beatrice Rosso Spatafora, contessa di Sclafani e signora di Caltavuturo, sposa in prime nozze Carlo Luna conte di Caltabellotta e, dopo aver ottenuto la sentenza di nullità del matrimonio per impotentia coeundi del marito e la dispensa per la consanguineità, sposa l’ex cognato Sigismondo Luna. Attraverso le vicende legate al duplice matrimonio, il saggio dà un contributo alla ricostruzione della storia di una famiglia, i Luna, che, per il ramo insediatosi in Sicilia alla fine del XIV secolo, è ancora poco nota. Beatrice Rosso Spatafora, countess of Sclafani and Lady of Caltavuturo, first married Carlo Luna, earl of Caltabellotta. After obtaining the annulment of this marriage on the grounds…
Fan's affect for music record formats : from vinyl LP to MP3
2014
Suosituimmat musiikkitallenneformaatit ovat muuttuneet analogisista vinyylilevyistä ja C-kaseteista digitaalisiin CD-levyihin ja äänitiedostoihin. Silti vinyylilevyt, erityisesti LP-levyt, ovat säilyneet markkinoilla. Levyjä julkaisseiden artistien live-konsertit ovat edelleen merkittävä musiikin kuluttamisen muoto. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan eri musiikkitallenneformaatteja pitäen live-konsertit vertailun pohjana, ja kartoitetaan formaatteja koskevia seikkoja, jotka ovat merkityksellisiä faneille. Tutkielman teoreettinen perusta on populaari- ja digitaalisen kulttuurin tutkimuksessa, sekä fanitutkimuksessa. Tutkielmassa viitataan mediateksteihin, ja tutkielmaa varten on haastateltu he…
Matteo Sclafani: paura della morte e desiderio di eternità
2006
Nel saggio si delinea la parabola della vita di Matteo Sclafani, conte di Adernò, seguendo il mutare delle sue volontà testamentarie, dall'ascesa ai vertici della società siciliana del Trecento all'espulsione dall'amata Palermo, dalla formazione di un vasto patrimonio al sequestro dei beni, dall'ambizione di vedere perpetuati nome e insegne familiari alla vanificazione del suo desiderio.
Cytotoxicity of Novel Sulfanilamides Towards Sensitive and Multidrugresistant Leukemia Cells
2014
Novel sulfa Schiff bases were synthesized and characterized by a reaction between aromatic sulfonamides and aromatic aldehydes or heterocyclic ketones in equimolar ratios. Their cytotoxicity was evaluated by the resazurin assay towards human sensitive CCRF-CEM and multidrug-resistant CEM/ADR5000 leukemia cells. Three of the tested compounds viz., 4-(anthracen-9-ylmethyleneamino)-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (4), 4-(anthracen-9- ylmethyleneamino)benzenesulfonamide, (5) and 4-((3-phenylallylidene)amino)benzene-sulfonamide, (6) were cytotoxic (IC 50 values: 5.38-19.96 µM). CEM/ADR5000 cells were not cross-resistant to these compounds, indicating activity against otherwise drug-resistan…
Kelfiprim, a new sulpha-trimethoprim combination, versus cotrimoxazole, in the treatment of urinary tract infections: a multicentre, double-blind tri…
1982
A new combination of trimethoprim with a sulphonamide, named Kelfiprim, differs from cotrimoxazole in that: a) the sulpha drug is sulphamethopyrazine instead of sulphamethoxazole; b) the trimethoprim to sulpha ratio is 5:4 instead of 1:5;c) the presence of a long-acting sulphonamide allows the administration of a daily dose of one capsule, following an initial loading dose of two capsules; d) a reduced amount of trimethoprim is given, as compared to cotrimoxazole, without any decrease of efficacy. Kelfiprim [KP] was compared to contrimoxazole [Co] in a multicentre double blind trial. Sixty four patients suffering from acute and chronic infections of the upper and lower urinary tract entered…
Second line systemic therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma: Reasons for the failure
2015
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main cause of death in patients with cirrhosis, with an increasing incidence worldwide. Sorafenib is the choice therapy for advanced HCC. Over time several randomized phase III trials have been performed testing sunitinib, brivanib, linifanib and other molecules in head-to-head comparison with Sorafenib as first-line treatment for advanced-stage HCC, but none of these has so far been registered in this setting. Moreover, another feared vacuum arises from the absence of molecules registered as second-line therapy for patients who have failed Sorafenib, representing an urgent unmet medical need. To date all molecules tested as second-line therapies for ad…
