Evolving endoscopic strategies for detection and treatment of neoplastic lesions in inflammatory bowel disease
2013
The paradigm for neoplasia surveillance in IBD is rapidly evolving with advancements in endoscopic imaging technology. Modern technology has demonstrated a remarkably improved capacity to detect and characterize subtle neoplastic lesions. As such, practices of obtaining interval random biopsy specimens to identify “invisible”neoplasia and of recommending total proctocolectomy for treatment of early neoplastic lesions are gradually being phased out. Further research is required to confirm the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic resection of more advanced neoplastic lesions, including DALMs and lesions bearing HG-IEN. Moving forward, studies evaluating CRC risk profiles in IBD patients wou…
Total energy expenditure is repeatable in adults but not associated with short-term changes in body composition
2022
Low total energy expenditure (TEE, MJ/d) has been a hypothesized risk factor for weight gain, but repeatability of TEE, a critical variable in longitudinal studies of energy balance, is understudied. We examine repeated doubly labeled water (DLW) measurements of TEE in 348 adults and 47 children from the IAEA DLW Database (mean ± SD time interval: 1.9 ± 2.9 y) to assess repeatability of TEE, and to examine if TEE adjusted for age, sex, fat-free mass, and fat mass is associated with changes in weight or body composition. Here, we report that repeatability of TEE is high for adults, but not children. Bivariate Bayesian mixed models show no among or within-individual correlation between body c…
Physical activity and fat-free mass during growth and in later life.
2021
ABSTRACT Background Physical activity may be a way to increase and maintain fat-free mass (FFM) in later life, similar to the prevention of fractures by increasing peak bone mass. Objectives A study is presented of the association between FFM and physical activity in relation to age. Methods In a cross-sectional study, FFM was analyzed in relation to physical activity in a large participant group as compiled in the International Atomic Energy Agency Doubly Labeled Water database. The database included 2000 participants, age 3–96 y, with measurements of total energy expenditure (TEE) and resting energy expenditure (REE) to allow calculation of physical activity level (PAL = TEE/REE), and cal…
redes entre actores a través del presupuesto: los casos de Alicante y Valencia
2019
Resumen El presente artículo tiene como principal objetivo analizar la forma de provisión de bienes y servicios de los Ayuntamientos de Alicante y València (2005-2016). Para ello, llevaremos a cabo un análisis del presupuesto por capítulos para determinar el reparto de fondos entre los distintos actores que forman las redes de políticas públicas de cada consistorio. Entre las evidencias que hemos encontrado podemos destacar que dicho fenómeno se ha visto, ciertamente, afectado por la crisis económica que ha hecho variar las estrategias. Asimismo, hemos podido constatar el reparto de dinero público entre actores de distinta naturaleza lo que denota un escenario propio de la gobernanza urbana…
LITI TRA PUBBLICHE AMMINISTRAZIONI E VICENDE DELLA GIUSTIZIA AMMINISTRATIVA NEL SECOLO DECIMONONO
2019
Il presente studio mette in discussione la diffusa idea che nello Stato liberale e nella giuspubblicistica dell’epoca vi fosse una visione statalista e monista dell’interesse pubblico, dando prova dell’ampio contenzioso esisten- te tra pubbliche amministrazioni e persino tra organi, nel solco dei rimedi della giustizia amministrativa, e del deciso favore della prevalente dottrina giuspubblicistica per il decentramento amministrativo. The present study, focusing on developments of administrative justice, aims to demonstrate that already during the nineteenth century there was a rich case-law on disputes between administrative bodies or organs. It also emphasized that the prevailing legal sch…
TCTN3 Mutations Cause Mohr-Majewski Syndrome
2012
Orofaciodigital syndromes (OFDSs) consist of a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by abnormalities in the oral cavity, face, and digits and associated phenotypic abnormalities that lead to the delineation of 13 OFDS subtypes. Here, by a combined approach of homozygozity mapping and exome ciliary sequencing, we identified truncating TCTN3 mutations as the cause of an extreme form of OFD associated with bone dysplasia, tibial defect, cystic kidneys, and brain anomalies (OFD IV, Mohr-Majewski syndrome). Analysis of 184 individuals with various ciliopathies (OFD, Meckel, Joubert, and short rib polydactyly syndromes) led us to identify four additional truncating TCTN3 mutations in un…
SINGLE-TRIAL BASED INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS ON MISMATCH NEGATIVITY IN CHILDREN
2010
Independent component analysis (ICA) does not follow the superposition rule. This motivates us to study a negative event-related potential — mismatch negativity (MMN) estimated by the single-trial based ICA (sICA) and averaged trace based ICA (aICA), respectively. To sICA, an optimal digital filter (ODF) was used to remove low-frequency noise. As a result, this study demonstrates that the performance of the sICA+ODF and aICA could be different. Moreover, MMN under sICA+ODF fits better with the theoretical expectation, i.e., larger deviant elicits larger MMN peak amplitude.
Educating adolescents in friendship
2015
L'amicizia, in quanto tale, non si insegna, si possono però aiutare gli adolescenti ad acquisire quelle virtù che essi stessi mostrano di voler vivere quotidianamente nelle loro relazioni amicali vissute "vis a vis". Gli educatori, "in primis" i genitori e gli insegnanti, possono in tal senso educare gli adolescenti all'amicizia, innanzitutto dando loro un "buon esempio" di vita amicale. Poiché l'amicizia - come ogni legame intimo - è una relazione sociale particolarmente vincolata al "modo" in cui le persone comunicano tra loro, la possibilità di educare all'amicizia gli adolescenti di oggi dipende innanzitutto dal realizzarsi di una condizione ineludibile e necessaria: che gli educatori a…

Cognitive dysfunction in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
2006
Cognitive dysfunction is considered one of the clinical markers of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, in the literature there are inconsistent reports on the prevalence of cognitive dysfunction, and separate data for the relapsing-remitting (RR) type of the disease are not always presented. In this study, we submitted 461 RRMS patients to a battery of neuropsychological tests to investigate their impairment in various cognitive domains. As a consequence of the exclusion criteria, the sample is not fully representative of the entire population of RRMS patients. In this selected sample, when only the eight scores of a core battery (Mental Deterioration Battery) were considered (with respectiv…
