Comparison of Postoperative Coronal Leg Alignment in Customized Individually Made and Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty
2021
Neutral coronal leg alignment is known to be important for postoperative outcome in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Customized individually made implants (CIM) instrumented with patient-specific cutting guides are an innovation aiming to increase the precision and reliability of implant positioning and reconstruction of leg alignment. We aimed to compare reconstruction of the hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) of the novel CIM system iTotal™ CR G2 (ConforMIS Inc.) to a matched cohort of the off-the-shelf (OTS) knee replacement system Vanguard™ CR (Zimmer Biomet). Retrospective analysis of postoperative coronal full-leg weight-bearing radiographs of 562 TKA (283 CIM TKA, 279 OTS TKA) was conducted. V…
Emergence of severe spondyloarthropathy-related entheseal pathology following successful vedolizumab therapy for inflammatory bowel disease
2018
Objectives Vedolizumab (VDZ) blocks α4β7 integrin and is licenced for the treatment of IBD. It has been associated with mild SpA-related features, including sacroiliitis and synovitis. Herein we report a series of cases demonstrating the emergence of severe SpA-associated enthesitis/osteitis following successful IBD therapy with VDZ. Methods We evaluated 11 VDZ-treated patients with IBD across seven centres who developed severe active SpA and/or enthesopathy, with the aim of characterizing the VDZ-associated SpA or entheseal flares. Imaging features demonstrating particularly severe disease were recorded. Results De novo SpA developed in 9 of 11 patients and flare of known SpA in 2 patients…

«Sabiats que us diray en riman». Prime considerazioni sul rapporto tra forma, comunicazione e pubblico nella Lògica del Gatzell di Ramon Llull
2022
La Lògica del Gatzell, primo esempio della produzione in volgare di Ramon Llull, è un compendio in versi basato sull’opera di al-Ghazali Maqasid al-falasifah e sul Tractatus di Pietro Ispano, cui il Beato aggiunse alcuni elementi del suo personale sistema di pensiero. Insieme alla versione latina, il Compendium logicae Algazelis, evidenzia l’intenzione di Llull di promuovere lo studio dei principi fondamentali della filosofia proponendo due diversi sussidi didattici, ciascuno pensato per un determinato genere di pubblico. Il compendio rimato era indirizzato a coloro che non conoscevano il latino e per questo l’autore ricorse a una forma letteraria e a una strategia comunicativa tipiche dell…
El exilio a México de los marinos de la armada de la II República Española
2018
Este artículo es el resultado de un estudio sobre el grupo de marinos de la Armada de la II República que, tras marchar al exilio en 1939, reemigraron a México. El exilio a México es una emigración tradicionalmente vinculada a personalidades intelectuales. Sin embargo, la mayoría fueron exiliados de a pie y constituye un colectivo poco conocido. Los marinos de la Armada se enmarcan en este grupo y su estudio puede contribuir a una aproximación a esta parte casi olvidada del exilio republicano a México.

Longer Nap Duration During Ramadan Observance Positively Impacts 5-m Shuttle Run Test Performance Performed in the Afternoon.
2022
It is well-documented that changes in the rhythm of life during Ramadan affect sleep schedules (i.e., interruption of night sleep patterns) and are likely to have negative effects on physical and cognitive performances. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of different naps opportunities’ durations during Ramadan on performance of short-duration repetitive maximal exercise and perception of effort. Fifteen physically active men (age: 21 ± 3 years, height: 177 ± 6 cm, body-mass: 73 ± 10 kg) performed a 6 × 30-s shuttle run test after a 25-min nap (N25), a 45-min nap (N45), and in a no-nap condition (NN) during three experimental periods: ∼2 weeks before Ramadan (BR), the la…
Nationilism - belonging to the spaces between : conceptualizing nation-less identity and belonging
2010
This qualitative study links the cultural identity of Adult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs) to the field of intercultural communication by demonstrating that new identities are emerging that are characterized by a sense of belonging not linked to the boundaries of nations or tied to physical location. As initial self-disclosure and knowledge about the identity of one’s counterpart have been proved essential in intercultural interactions, understanding with regards to new forms of identity are of interest to the field. The aim of this study is to explore the concept of nation-less belonging within the cultural identities of Adult Third Culture Kids, something I term "natioNILism". In order to exa…
