Conferma della presenza di Aphanius fasciatus (Valenciennes, 1821) (Cyprinodontiformes Cyprinodontidae) nel bacino idrografico del Fiume Imera Meridi…
2009
Un’abbondante popolazione del Ciprinodontide autoctono Aphanius fasciatus è stata rinvenuta nel Fiume ImeraMeridionale ed in alcuni suoi affluenti. É così confermata la persistenza della specie nel sito, nonostante le pesanti alterazioni ambientali che hanno interessato il fiume e che avevano fatto ritenere A. fasciatus localmente estinto. Trattandosi di una delle poche popolazioni di Aphanius fasciatus sopravvissute nei corsi d’acqua siciliani e alla luce della notevole diversità genetica e morfologica riscontrata tra le differenti popolazioni siciliane di questo Ciprinodontide, la sopravvivenza di questa popolazione assume un’importante valenza conservazionistica.
Overwintering survival in relation to body mass in a field population of the wolf spider ( Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata )
1999
Body size is often considered to be an important trait affecting individual fitness. In arthropods, females commonly benefit from larger size directly through increased fecundity (Roff, 1992), and males through increased mating success (Andersson, 1994). It has also been suggested that larger individuals may in general have a better survival than smaller individuals (Calder, 1983; Peters, 1983). From this suggestion it may be predicted that during stressful environmental conditions larger individuals should do better than smaller individuals.

Use of amitriptyline for the treatment of chronic tension-type headache : review of the literature
2008
Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant, considered the treatment of choice for different types of chronic pain, including chronic myofascial pain. Its antinociceptive property is independent of its antidepressant effect. Although its analgesic mechanism is not precisely known, it is believed that the serotonin reuptake inhibition in the central nervous system plays a fundamental role in pain control. Although this medication is widely used in the prevention of chronic tension-type headache, few studies have investigated the efficacy of this treatment and the published results are contradictory. The objective of this article was to review the literature published on the use of amitripty…
Descripción anatómica del espacio rectogenital: fascia de Denonvilliers y espacio rectovaginal
2015
Desde el siglo pasado hasta la actualidad persiste un debate con respecto a la posible existencia y composición de un septo rectovaginal independiente situado medialmente entre la pared rectal y la vaginal. Se ha creído que el septo rectovaginal representa el análogo femenino de la fascia masculina prostato-perineal descrita por primera vez por el anatomista francés Denonvilliers en 1836. Asimismo, ha existido un largo debate acerca de la existencia, definición y composición de la fascia de Denonvilliers. Existe controversia acerca de si es posible identificar esta estructura durante una cirugía in vivo, así como de sus relaciones exactas con la fascia propia del recto y en cuál es el plano…
The Relationship Between the Stomatognathic System and Body Posture
2009
In recent years, many researchers have investigated the various factors that can influence body posture: mood states, anxiety, head and neck positions, oral functions (respiration, swallowing), oculomotor and visual systems, and the inner ear. Recent studies indicate a role for trigeminal afferents on body posture, but this has not yet been demonstrated conclusively. The present study aims to review the papers that have shown a relationship between the stomatognathic system and body posture. These studies suggest that tension in the stomatognathic system can contribute to impaired neural control of posture. Numerous anatomical connections between the stomatognathic system’s proprioceptive i…
De novogenome assembly of the land snailCandidula unifasciata(Mollusca: Gastropoda)
2021
AbstractAmong all molluscs, land snails are an economically and scientifically interesting group comprising edible species, alien species and agricultural pests. Yet, despite its high diversity, the number of whole genomes publicly available is still scarce. Here, we present the draft genome assembly of the land snailCandidula unifasciata, a widely distributed species along central Europe, which belongs to Geomitridae family, a group highly diversified in the Western-Palearctic region. We performed a whole genome sequencing, assembly and annotation of an adult specimen based on PacBio and Oxford Nanopore long read sequences as well as Illumina data. A genome of about 1.29 Gb was generated w…
Frailty Status Improvement after 5-Month Multicomponent Program PROMUFRA in Community-Dwelling Older People: A Randomized Controlled Trial
2022
A study was made of the effect of the PROMUFRA multicomponent frailty program upon physical frailty, kinanthropometry, pain and muscle function parameters in frail and pre-frail community-dwelling older people. Eighty-one participants were randomly allocated to the intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). The IG performed PROMUFRA for 20 weeks, using six strength exercises with three series of 8–12 repetitions until muscular failure, and seven myofascial exercises, with one set of 10 repetitions. The CG continued their routine. The frailty criteria number (FCN), kinanthropometric parameters and muscle function were measured at baseline and after the program. Between-group differences …
Influencia de la autoliberación miofascial versus estiramientos estáticos en un programa de entrenamiento de fuerza en miembros inferiores.
2016
El uso de diferentes estrategias en el calentamiento y recuperación de los deportistas son habitualmente utilizadas en la práctica regular de cualquier actividad físico-deportiva, ya sea en un simple entrenamiento o en una prueba de competición, teniendo como fin principal el conseguir las mejores adaptaciones o resultados en cada una de ellas. Hay numerosos estudios que pretenden averiguar las combinaciones más adecuadas para lograr dichos cambios físicos entre el reposo inicial de un individuo y el trabajo físico principal que pretende desarrollar, así como desde esta situación de trabajo físico a la de reposo final, siendo la activación inicial y la recuperación posterior a través de una…
Neuronal circuitry in the medial cerebral cortex of lizards
1997
The medial cortex of lizards is a simple three-layered brain region displaying many characteristics which parallel the hippocampal fascia dentata of mammals. Its principal neurons form a morphologically diverse population, partly as a result of the prominent continuous growth of this nervous centre. By using the classical Golgi impregnation method we describe here the morphology of the principal neurons (8 types) and the short-axon interneurons (18 types) populating the medial cortex of Podarcis hispanica as well as the connections between them.
