Diabetes mellitus association with coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID ‐19) severity and mortality: A pooled analysis
2020
Highlights There are ~ 2-fold increased odds of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and a ~ 2-fold increased risk of odds of mortality in patients with history of diabetes mellitus compared to those without diabetes mellitus. Patients with a history of diabetes mellitus should be closely monitored if they get infected with COVID-19. Results of meta-analysis showing association of diabetes mellitus with severity (Panel A) of disease and mortality (Panel B) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
Reply to Castellano and David: Long-term fate of nitrate fertilizer and nitrate from agricultural catchments
2014
We thank Castellano and David for their insightful comments (1) on our paper (2), in which they point out that short-term changes in land use and agricultural management can lead to rapid reductions in nitrate leaching from agricultural systems. We fully agree with Castellano and David that in diversified cropping systems, this N distribution may be different, potentially resulting in reduced nitrate leaching.
Prevalence and Time Trends in Myopia Among Children and Adolescents.
2020
Background Myopia (near-sightedness) is increasing worldwide, especially in Asia. The aim of this study was to describe trends in the prevalence of myopia in Germany. Methods We analyzed data from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS; baseline survey 2003-2006, N = 17 640; wave 2, 2014-2017, N = 15 023). The presence of myopia was determined from a parent questionnaire and validated by the use of a visual aid. The population prevalence of myopia was calculated. Based on the KiGGS wave 2 data, potential risk factors for myopia were identified by means of logistic regression. Results The prevalence of myopia at the age of 0-17 years in Germany…
Reply to "Heparan Sulfate in Baculovirus Binding and Entry of Mammalian Cells"
2014
(1), we investigated the interaction ofbaculovirus and mammalian cell surface heparan sulfate pro-teoglycans (HSPG). The data show that baculovirus requiresHSPG sulfation, particularly N- and 6-O-sulfation, to bind andtransduce mammalian cells. We also show that baculovirus asso-ciates specifically with syndecan-1 (SDC-1) but not with othersyndecans or glypicans.As discussed in the article, HS has previously been shown to beinvolved in glycoprotein 64 (gp64)-mediated baculovirus bindingonto mammalian cells. Heparin and heparinase I and II treatmentof cells have also been shown to prevent the virus binding (2, 3).The role of HS in baculovirus entry was further studied in ourarticle (1). Bindi…
«Perché l’intelletto abbia respiro e la giustizia abbia il suo corso». La testimonianza civile di Giuseppe Antonio Borgese
2021
Nel gennaio del 1935, sul periodico antifascista «Giustizia e Libertà» approdano alla luce editoriale le due lettere indirizzate da Borgese a Mussolini, il 18 agosto del 1933 e il 18 ottobre del 1934, in cui prende corpo la testimonianza del dissenso dell’intellettuale, già dal 1931 trasferitosi in America, rispetto alla deriva autocratica del regime in Italia. Il discorso epistolare, mosso dalla volontà di esprimere il diniego all’imposizione del giuramento fascista agli intellettuali e strategicamente ignorato da Mussolini, giunge, nella seconda lettera del ’34, alla definitiva frattura dal fascismo cui si oppone la «libera unione degli stati d’Europa», un disegno civico coltivato nel tem…
Querelle épigraphique entre deux savants : l’exemple de la correspondance, publiée dans la Revue archéologique de 1847, entre Antoine-Jean Letronne e…
2020
Although Roman inscriptions have attracted interest since the Renaissance, epigraphy was not acknowledged as a science in its own right, with its own ruleset and methods, until the mid-19th century. Henceforth every newly discovered inscription was duly documented and distributed across an ever-growing and influential network of European scholars, giving birth to an extensive system of scholarly correspondence connecting every individual researcher with the community, from the provincial antiquarian who, as a precursor to « field archaeology », would discover the inscriptions, to the Parisian scholar who would gather and examine every inscription sent his way. One such epistolary intercours…
Fonction et usage de la lettre de rémission chez les ducs de Bourgogne à la fin du Moyen Âge
2015
The letter of remission is a codified document given by the prince, stopping any procedure against people. It forgives the criminal and brings him back his good fama. It allows the historian to wonder about the forgiveness procedure that was established first by the monarchy, then by several territorial princes notably the dukes of Burgundy. The conditions in which these documents were produced at the end of the Middle Ages, their multiple copies and the copies that were made several decades after the initial pardon and that are conserved in the chartrier of the dukes of Burgundy in the Archives Départementales de Côte d’Or invites us to analyze the different practices through time, first b…
