The risk of the 'prison-emptying' effect in Italy due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
2020
People who live and work or are detained inside restricted communities (including prisons) need to be considered as they are at a high risk of becoming infected with Covid-19 during this pandemic.1 InItaly, the spread of Covid-19 has provoked numerous riots within the prisons and local detention centres, and there is a consequent increase in requests for inmates to be released and detained at home
Are there positive lessons for Italy's NHS resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic?
2020
The authors evaluate the importance of prevention measures and health care from their own experience and briefly analyse the factors that may have contributed to the rapid spread of Covid-19 in Italy, and hope this will feed into appropriate and new and improved health policies.
Toxicity as prime selection criterion among SARS-active herbal medications
2021
We present here a new selection criterion for prioritizing research on efficacious drugs for the fight against COVID-19: the relative toxicity versus safety of herbal medications, which were effective against SARS in the 2002/2003 epidemic. We rank these medicines according to their toxicity versus safety as basis for preferential rapid research on their potential in the treatment of COVID-19. The data demonstrate that from toxicological information nothing speaks against immediate investigation on, followed by rapid implementation of Lonicera japonica, Morus alba, Forsythia suspensa, and Codonopsis spec. for treatment of COVID-19 patients. Glycyrrhiza spec. and Panax ginseng are ranked in …
Menstrual problems and lifestyle among Spanish university women
2020
Menstrual problems affect many young women worldwide, conditioning both their academic performance and quality of life. This study sought to analyse the prevalence of menstrual problems and their possible relationship with lifestyle among Spanish university women, as part of a research project (UniHcos Project) involving a cohort of 11 Spanish universities with 7208 university students. A descriptive analysis was performed using the bivariate chi-square test and the Student&rsquo
Pyrido[2’,3’:4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-d][1,2,3,5]tetrazine-4(3H)-ones, a new class of temozolomide heteroanalogues
2009
Twelve derivatives of new ring system pyrido[2’,3’:4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-d][1,2,3,5]tetrazine were prepared in good yields by reaction of 2-diazo-3-ethoxycarbonyl-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine with alkyl- or aryl-isocyanates. Nine derivatives, screened by the National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, MD) for the in vitro one dose primary anticancer assay against a panel of about 60 human tumor cell lines, showed no significant activity.
The effect of bergamot on dyslipidemia
2016
Abstract Background Statins are the most common used lipid lowering drugs but they may cause adverse effects and despite their well-established therapeutic benefits residual cardiovascular (CV) risk remains. The use of other lipid lowering drugs and nutraceuticals alone or as add-on lipid-modifying therapy can be an option in such cases. Several studies have reported health-related properties of the Citrus fruits, among which bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso) differs from others by particularly high content of certain compounds. Purpose This narrative review summarizes the current evidence on the effects of bergamot on lipid parameters based on studies involving animals and humans. Main evid…
Synthesis of Rosmarinic Acid Amides as Antioxidative and Hypoglycemic Agents
2019
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important metabolic disorder for which there is an urgent need for new antidiabetic drugs. α-Glucosidase inhibition is an established protocol for T2DM therapy. Because hyperglycemia causes oxidative tissue damage, the development of agents with both α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidant activity from natural or natural-derived polyphenols such derivatives of rosmarinic acid (RA) represents an attractive therapeutic option. We report a study on amides 1-10 derived from RA and their evaluation for yeast α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidant activity (DPPH and ORAC tests). All amides showed higher inhibitory activity than that of RA, were by far mor…
Fisioterapia en la fase de convalecencia: fase de esfuerzo
2010
Fisioterapia en la rehabilitación cardíaca: fase de convalecencia o fase II. En la sesión de entrenamiento, la fase de esfuerzo o endurecimiento pretende aumentar la capacidad funcional, la capacidad máxima de captación de oxígeno y la capacidad aeróbica máxima del paciente.
Fisioterapia en la fase de convalecencia: preparación
2010
Fisioterapia en la rehabilitación cardíaca: fase de convalecencia o fase II. Preparación del espacio y del paciente para realizar la sesión de entrenamiento.
Fisioterapia en la fase de convalecencia: enfriamiento
2010
Fisioterapia en la rehabilitación cardíaca: fase de convalecencia o fase II. La sesión de entrenamiento finaliza con la fase de enfriamiento o vuelta a la calma. Ésta pretende adaptar al paciente del esfuerzo al reposo, y evitar así respuestas tales como: la hipotensión y el mareo, y el control de posibles arritmias.
