Verrucous penile lesions and widespread vesicular rash in a 33‐year‐old bisexual man
2022
A 33-year-old bisexual man presented to the Department of Infectious Diseases with a 9-day history of non-itching, painless, pustular, and vesicular lesions that were scattered and a high fever.

La construction des climats viticoles en Bourgogne, la relation du vin au lieu au Moyen Âge. Une culture du vin et du lieu en Bourgogne
2014
Climats is the technical term for portions of vineyards delimited and named according to specific wine qualities. They arose from the seventeenth century onwards as a specific terroir meaning in Burgundy. However, tradition still emphasizes the medieval actors of Burgundian viti-viniculture as dukes and monks as the determinants for the emergence of climats. Therefore it is worth exploring medieval history to decipher the relationship linking wine to place in the Middle Ages : for instance, the way wines were labelled in cellars and storerooms in Dijon. Some monastic communities were not accustomed to differentiating their wine according to the original place in which it grew. Human practic…
Phylogenomics of species from four genera of New World monkeys by flow sorting and reciprocal chromosome painting
2007
Abstract Background The taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) are difficult to distinguish on the basis of morphology and because diagnostic fossils are rare. Recently, molecular data have led to a radical revision of the traditional taxonomy and phylogeny of these primates. Here we examine new hypotheses of platyrrhine evolutionary relationships by reciprocal chromosome painting after chromosome flow sorting of species belonging to four genera of platyrrhines included in the Cebidae family: Callithrix argentata (silvered-marmoset), Cebuella pygmaea (pygmy marmoset), Callimico goeldii (Goeldi's marmoset) and Saimiri sciureus (squirrel monkey). This is t…
Rapid Detection of the ERV-K(C4) Retroviral Insertion Reveals Further Structural Polymorphism of the Complement C4 Genes in Old World Primates
2001
The fourth component of complement (C4) is coded for by two tandem-duplicated genes located in the class III region of the MHC of humans as well as a number of primates. A C4 gene size polymorphism giving rise to two gene variants of 16 and 22.3 kb length can be attributed to a complete endogenous retroviral insertion of 6.3 kb termed ERV-K(C4) in intron 9 of the long C4 genes. We developed a simple PCR-based screening assay to detect the presence of this insertion, and tested a number of unrelated animals from old world primate species. The presence of the ERV insertion in the orangutan, rhesus macaque and green monkey as well as its absence in gorillas and chimpanzees could be confirmed. …
Al-Gaziratu al-Siqilliyya: tradizione e cultura della Sicilia arabo-islamica
2020
This piece examines the historical transition in the so-caled Jazirat al-Siqilliyya region from the Christian Bizantine tradition to the Islamic one, passing throught literary, geographical and philosophical masterpieces. The linguistic and cultural diversity will emerge from the texts of the Arab geographers, who visited that area in the XIth century, as well as from the production of philological and grammatical manuals developed to correct the Sicilian population speaking Arabic, the language of the new rulers. The work will also analyze the Norman era, witnessing both the dismissal of the Islamic conquerors who will seek refuge in Ifriqya, and the new spirit of cohabitation established …

Brain, Sociobiology, and Evolution in Primates
1981
Socialization in primates can be understood essentially as a function of the information processing ability of the CNS, which can be roughly measured in terms of relative brain size in closely related species groups. Both the cephalization constant (Hemmer 1971, 1974) and the extra neuron number (Jerison 1964, 1973) may be used for relevant quantification, as there is a highly significant correlation of both parameters in primates (7 ape species: r = 0.97, 20 Old World monkey species: r = 0.99; Hemmer 1978). The author has shown in a previous paper (Hemmer 1979) close negative correlations of relative brain size and the social organization as expressed in troop size (r = −0.92) and of relat…
The hyo-laryngeal complex of Tarsius bancanus (Mammalia, Primates): a developmental and phylogenetic aspect
2008
The present approach reconstructed the hyo-laryngeal complex of fetal Tarsius bancanus by using the AMIRA 3.1.1 software. Our work fills a gap of ontogenetic research as this region has only been superficially described for an adult specimen representing the same genus. Furthermore, based on 51 characters we conducted several cladistic analyses considering the "Prosimii"/Haplorrhini-debate. Some anatomical information has been taken from the literature. Macclade© 4.06 was used in order to measure TL-, CI-, and RC-values of these two competing hypotheses, however, resulting in equal support. A PAUP© 4.02b parsimony analysis based on the Haplorrhini-hypothesis showed a significant bootstrap-v…

2013
Il volume Tommaso Maria Napoli Utriusque Architecturae Compendium Roma 1688 Breve trattato sulle fabbriche civili e militari e la conservazione delle architetture del frate domenicano Tommaso Maria Napoli, vuole contribuire ad accrescere le nostre conoscenze sui principi che dovevano sottendere alla realizzazione dell’architettura civile e militare del periodo barocco e tardo barocco, così come espressi nel breve trattato scritto dal frate architetto, nato a Palermo, Tommaso Maria Napoli (1659-1725), e pubblicato a Roma alla fine del Seicento. Alla traduzione dal latino del trattato, redatta da esperti (Fabio Zarbo e Pietro Zarbo), è inclusa un’interessante ricerca, redatta congiuntamente c…
