Abnormalities of the umbilico-portal venous system in Down syndrome: A report of two new patients
2003
Congenital anomalies of the umbilical and portal venous system are rare vascular malformations which are often associated with anomalies of the heart and gastrointestinal tract. Association with chromosomal disorders has been sporadically reported. We now report on two patients with trisomy 21 and congenital anomalies of the umbilico-portal system. A male fetus showed absence of the intrahepatic portal vein (PV) and ductus venosus with a direct communication between portal sinus and inferior vena cava exhibiting an umbilicosystemic total shunt during the fetal life and a portosystemic total shunt after birth. A female infant showed absence of the intrahepatic PV and a total portocaval shunt…
Very Early Presentation of Extrahepatic Portal Vein Obstruction Causing Portal Hypertension in an Infant: Uncertainties in the Management and Therape…
2016
Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction, although rare in children, is a significant cause of portal hypertension (PHT) leading to life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding in the pediatric age group. PHT may also lead to other complications such as hyperesplenism, cholangyopathy, ascites, and even hepatopulmonary syndrome and portopulmonary hypertension that may require organ transplantation. Herein we report the case of an asymptomatic 11-month-old infant wherein a hepatomegaly and cavernous transformation of the portal vein was detected by liver ultrasound. Neither signs of thrombosis in arteriovenous system, nor affectation of biliary tract were identified in the magnetic resonance imagin…

Directly measured and self-reported physical activity in a sample of Finnish secondary school students
2012
Previous studies based on self-reports show that a majority of children and adolescents in Western countries fail to achieve the recommendation of 60 minutes moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) on a daily basis. The specific aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between directly measured and self-reported PA in a cross-sectional sample of Finnish secondary school students. Moreover, how large proportion of adolescents accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous PA on a daily basis using self-reports and direct measure scores. Methods: Participants were recruited from a secondary school located in Northeast Finland. The sample comprised 96 students (58 girls, 38…
A Look into Liver Mitochondrial Dysfunction as a Hallmark in Progression of Brain Energy Crisis and Development of Neurologic Symptoms in Hepatic Enc…
2020
Background: The relationship between liver disease and neuropathology in hepatic encephalopathy is well known, but the genesis of encephalopathy in liver failure is yet to be elucidated. Conceptually, the main cause of hepatic encephalopathy is the accumulation of brain ammonia due to impaired liver detoxification function or occurrence of portosystemic shunt. Yet, as well as taking up toxic ammonia, the liver also produces vital metabolites that ensure normal cerebral function. Given this, for insight into how perturbations in the metabolic capacity of the liver may be related to brain pathology, it is crucial to understand the extent of ammonia-related changes in the hepatic metabolism th…
Drei-Phasen-Spiral-CT in der Diagnostik von Lebererkrankungen: Vergleich mit CT-Arteriographie und -Arterioportographie
1996
PURPOSE Assessment of the diagnostic efficacy of triphasic spiral-CT scanning (TPS-CT) for liver disease evaluation. CT arteriography (CTA) and CT arterio-portography (CTAP) were used as reference, methods which together have the highest sensitivity for detecting tumours and the perfusion conditions of the liver. MATERIAL AND METHODS 50 TPS-CT and CTA/CTPA were performed in 49 patients. After an initial examination without enhancement the first scan was initiated 15-25s after the peripheral bolus injection of contrast medium, the second after an interscan delay of 20-25s. By this means the liver was imaged in different phases of perfusion. In the course of the CTA/CTPA-exam the imaging was …
Pseudo-relatives, gerunds and infinitives in Romance: (only) superficial resemblances and structural connections
2013
L'argomento di questa monografia è un confronto tra i costrutti predicativi di tipo frasale nelle diverse varietà romanze. Mentre le pseudorelative sono diffuse pressoché in tutta la Romània, con qualche variazione parametrica minore, i gerundi predicativi e gli infiniti preposizionali sono usati solo in alcune varietà. Negli studi linguistici sull'argomento è mancata finora l'ottica comparativa, sia tra varietà diverse, sia tra costrutti predicativi diversi. Il mio lavoro si prefissa lo scopo di colmare questa lacuna, senza ignorare però i costrutti percettivi composti da un infinito semplice, che da parte della letteratura sono stati paragonati alle strutture predicative delle pseudorelat…
L’attività normativa del governo nel periodo 2020-2021
2022
L’articolo descrive l’attività normativa del governo nel periodo 2020-2021. Il biennio è stato segnato dalle misure di contrasto alla pandemia da Covid-19. Di conseguenza, si prendono in considerazione, innanzitutto, le misure sanitarie adottate nel periodo emergenziale e concernenti tanto gli obblighi di distanziamento fisico e di contenimento dell’epidemia, quanto le disposizioni relative alle vaccinazioni e alla presentazione del «certificato verde» o green pass. Successivamente, si dà conto delle principali normative adottate a supporto dell’economia e del sistema imprenditoriale, distinguendo tra gli ausili finanziari destinati a ridurre l’impatto negativo della pandemia sulle aziende …

Analiza strukturalna Skali Motywacji Sportowej SMS-28
2018
Motywacja stanowi istotny czynnik wysokich osiągnięć sportowych. Badania nad motywacją są wykorzystywane w nauce i praktyce psychologicznej do opisu, wyjaśnienia i przewidywania zachowania sportowców w kontekście treningu sportowego i zawodów. Ponieważ motywacja może różnicować zawodników różnych dyscyplin sportowych należących do różnych pokoleń i regionów kulturowo-społecznych, konieczne jest prowadzenie badań walidacyjnych nad narzędziami służącymi do pomiaru motywacji w kontekście sportowym. Niniejsze badania miały na celu przeprowadzenie analizy strukturalnej Skali Motywacji Sportowej SMS-28 stworzonej w Kanadzie ponad dwadzieścia lat temu. W badaniu uczestniczyło 170 sportowców reprez…
