Trichoscopy features of trichotillomania
2019
Trichotillomania is a form of traction alopecia resulting from repetitive and compulsive hair pulling and plucking. Trichotillomania and patchy alopecia areata may have similar clinical and dermoscopic features in some cases. On trichoscopic examination, the presence of black dots, coiled or hook hair, shafts of varying lengths with fraying or split ends (trichoptilosis), and an absence of exclamation mark hairs and yellow dots are suggestive of trichotillomania.
Gender differences in elite athletes heart rate dynamics following a supra maximal complex effort
2017
Regarding the importance of recovery in sport performance assessment of post exercise Heart Rate HR Dynamics has become a useful tool to understand such an individual process Heart Rate Variability HRV analysis is widely used as a non invasive marker of Autonomic Nervous System regulation of HR where the nonlinear methods Detrended Fluctuation Analysis DFA have become a promising complementary analysis technique In order to deepen on the effects of supra maximal complex efforts integrating specific endurance and strength requirements on cardiac autonomic regulation our research group is working in different protocols looking for the analysis of specific responses under supra maximal exertio…
Pathology Reporting of Resected Pancreatic/Periampullary Cancer Specimen
2018
Pancreatic specimens have always been a great challenge for surgical pathologists due to their anatomic complexity and the difficulty of becoming familiar with these specimens. However, pancreatic specimens are becoming more and more common in many hospitals because of the improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative care that have dramatically reduced the postoperative mortality rate.
Multiple Lesions, Multiple Measures
2016
This case describes the assessment of FFR in the case of tandem intermediate lesions in the proximal and mid LAD. Hyperemia was induced with intravenous (IV) infusion of Adenosine, which allows pullback measurements. First, with the wire placed distal in the vessel, FFR provides information on whether the sum of the two stenoses causes ischemia. Thereafter, during pullback, the most severe stenosis can be identified as the most relevant pressure drop. Finally, a re-evaluation of FFR is important after PCI: after the first stenosis is treated, the degree of hyperemia achievable will be larger, thus unmasking the relevance of the second one.
Pancreatic and periampullary tumours: morbidity, mortality, functional results, and long-term survival
2009
Abstract Aims To evaluate postoperative morbidity and mortality, pancreatic function and long-term survival in patients with surgically treated pancreatic or periampullar tumours. Patients and methods Cohort study including 160 patients consecutively operated on: 80 pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD), 30 distal pancreatectomies (DP), 7 total pancreatectomies, 4 central pancreatic resections, and 3 ampullectomies. The tumour was not resected in 36 patients. Pancreatic function was evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test, faecal fat excretion, and elastase. Results Resectability rate was 77.5%. In resected patients (n = 124), 38.7% had complications with a pancreatic fistula rate of 6.4% and a m…
Intradiverticular Ampulla of Vater: Personal Experience at ERCP
2013
Introduction. Conflicting results have been reported about the true impact of intradiverticula ampulla (IA) on the technical success and complication rate of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Patients. A total of 500 patients who underwent ERCP were divided into two groups according to the presence (group A, 81 patients) or absence (group B, 419 patients) of IA. Success rate, difficulty at cannulation, findings at ERCP, and procedure-related complications were retrospectively reviewed. Results. Successful cannulation was achieved in 100% of group A patients compared to 98% of group B patients (P = ns). There was a significant difference in the type of cannulation that w…
Tarinan ja henkilöhahmon muodostuminen Golden Compass -PC-pelissä
2011
Pro Gradu -työssäni tutkin tarinan ja henkilöhahmon muodostumista PC -pelissä, erityisesti sitä, miten tarina ja henkilöhahmo siirtyvät toisesta julkaisumuodosta, romaanistaja elokuvasta, pelin muotoon. Käsittelen myös tarinan eroja representaatiossa ja simulaatiossa, tässä tapauksessa pelissä. Tutkimuskysymyksiäni olivat:1) Mitä eroja representaatiossa ja simulaatiossa on ker- ronnallisella tasolla, 2) mikä näiden erojen merkitys on henkilöhahmon ja tarinan rakentumiseen ja 3) miten henkilöhahmon rakentuminen eroaa romaanissa ja pelissä? Materiaalinani käytin Golden Compass -PC-peliä. Peli perustuu Philip Pullmanin Kultainen kompassi -nimiseen romaaniin, josta tehty elokuva on nimeltään Ku…
Il principe cristiano in Antonio Rosmini nella critica di Giovanni Pullara.
2012
A smentire la nota tesi di Gentile, la Sicilia già nel secolo scorso è stata aperta alle influenze culturali provenienti dall’Italia e dall’Europa. Agli inizi del ‘900, un rinnovato interesse per il pensiero di Rosmini diede vita a numerosi ed approfonditi studi riguardanti tutta quanta la produzione filosofica dell’abate roveretano. Giovanni Pullara, cattolico siciliano impegnato in politica, si può sicuramente considerare tra coloro che studiarono Antonio Rosmini o, quantomeno, ebbero modo di leggere molte delle sue opere. L’opera di Pullara, di cui ci occupiamo nel presente saggio, è stata condotta essenzialmente sui manoscritti giovanili di Rosmini, ora pubblicati come Politica Prima. S…
Computation of the lock-in ranges of phase-locked loops with PI filter
2016
In the present work the lock-in range of PLL-based circuits with proportionallyintegrating filter and sinusoidal phase-detector characteristics are studied. Considered circuits have sinusoidal phase detector characteristics. Analytical approach based on the methods of phase plane analysis is applied to estimate the lock-in ranges of the circuits under consideration. Obtained analytical results are compared with simulation results. peerReviewed
The future of bottle recycling in the United States of America
2012
In this Master’s thesis, the future of bottle recycling in the United States of America will be examined through interest, incentive and an infrastructure (iii) model. One of the American ways to recycle bottles, namely, the Dream Machine initiative, will be compared to the Finnish bottle recycling system. It will shed light through surveys done from Finnish high school students and randomly selected Americans about bottle recycling behaviour. In addition, two supportive surveys were administered to bring validity about the possible behavioral change through properly implemented recycling systems. The main conclusion is that through a proper implementation of a bottle recycling system, Amer…
