Contra la patologización intensiva en términos de derechos humanos: Activismo gordo en Argentina
2020
This work addresses the way in which Argentine Fat Activism has developed, in recent years, the demand for depathologization of fatness, taking elements from critical discourses on the health of fat people to frame them in a perspective typical of the Human Rights. First, the contemporary fat body is described in terms of stigma and discrimination, especially in the health field. Then, they refer to a series of critical positions on the pathologization and medicalization of fatness from the biomedical perspective, Fat Studies and Fat Activism. Lastly, a series of interventions that the Argentine activist collective Taller Hacer la Vista Gorda produced between 2017 and 2020 were considered, …
Hashimoto Thyroiditis Coexistent with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
2005
Several studies report a higher rate of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), indicating a possible correlation between the two diseases. We studied a group of 89 subjects undergoing surgery for thyroid carcinomas compared with a control group of 89 subjects operated on for normofunctioning goiter, and a second group of 47 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for HT. Association with HT was found in 19 of the 71 PTC subjects (26.7%) and in 8 goiter patients (8.9%), which was a significant difference ( P < 0.02). Thirteen of the HT patients, mostly with the nodular form, showed coexistent PTC (27.6%). HT and PTC coexisted in several morphologi…
Validity of the study of sentinel lymph nodes in the treatment of breast carcinoma.
2004
Since it was introduced in the 1990s, axillary sentinel lymph-node biopsy has been rapidly and widely adopted to avoid complete axillary dissection (though this is still the standard procedure). The aims of the study were two-fold: (i) to determine the value of different techniques of sentinel lymph-node identification and (ii) to verify the predictive value of such procedures through histological examination of the sentinel lymph node and axillary dissection in the same patients. Both sentinel lymph-node biopsy and axillary dissection were performed in 230 patients with T1 and T2 (< 3 cm) carcinoma of the breast. Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy was able to identify the sentinel lymph node …
Nonlinear nonhomogeneous Neumann eigenvalue problems
2015
We consider a nonlinear parametric Neumann problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator with a reaction which is $(p-1)$-superlinear near $\pm\infty$ and exhibits concave terms near zero. We show that for all small values of the parameter, the problem has at least five solutions, four of constant sign and the fifth nodal. We also show the existence of extremal constant sign solutions.

Ischemic stroke increases heart vulnerability to ischemia-reperfusion and alters myocardial cardioprotective pathways
2018
Background and Purpose— For years, the relationship between cardiac and neurological ischemic events has been limited to overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms and common risk factors. However, acute stroke may induce dramatic changes in cardiovascular function. The aim of this study was to evaluate how prior cerebrovascular lesions affect myocardial function and signaling in vivo and ex vivo and how they influence cardiac vulnerability to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods— Cerebral embolization was performed in adult Wistar male rats through the injection of microspheres into the left or right internal carotid artery. Stroke lesions were evaluated by microsphere counting, tissue sta…
Naturaleza de los plazos en los procedimientos de gestión e inspección tributaria en relación al procedimiento administrativo común
2018
El presente trabajo tiene como objeto principal analizar los distintos tipos de plazos de los que dispone la Administración Tributaria para el ejercicio de sus derechos, ya sean éstos para iniciar el procedimiento como durante su instrucción y terminación. Junto a ello, se pone de manifiesto la diferencia que existe entre los plazos para el procedimiento inspector y el procedimiento administrativo común. Finalmente, se expone el problema de los plazos en la ejecución de las resoluciones de los tribunales económicos-administrativos. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the different types of terms available to the Tax Administration for the exercise of their rights, whether these are…
A global perspective on effectiveness of aid for trade
2013
Recent global initiatives on debt relief and development assistance call for increasing aid for trade to the poorest countries. The paper applies a multi-country computable general equilibrium model to measure the effectiveness of alternative aid for trade categories. The findings show that aid for trade policies expand trade and alleviate international income inequalities in the recipient countries, that will benefit mainly from aid for trade adjustment and technical assistance.
Andróginos y ciborgs: monstruos de deconstrucción
2015
Resumen En nuestro corpus, conformado por obras literarias y cinematograficas, los cuerpos monstruosos del ciborg y del androgino devienen seres fronterizos que cuestionan los parametros de sexo, genero y deseo. Lo humano es puesto en duda y lo invisible se vuelve visible, abriendo un amplio espectro en la naturaleza. En el presente estudio se examinan las figuras del androgino y del ciborg a la luz de las teorias de genero: por un lado, se estudia el lugar de ambos monstruos en el feminismo deconstructivista; por otro, desde la perspectiva queer , ambos puntos de vista vinculados. Para nuestro analisis se tendran en cuenta conceptos como genero/sexo , dualidad sexual , intersexualidad o (h…
Architettura in alzato. Questioni di territorio, paesaggio, ambiente
2021
Negata alla tipologia l’architettura del Sud nel saggio riconosce una specifica identità e perfetta eccezionalità nell’essenza del luogo. Se la facciata istituisce un rapporto con l’estetica del paesaggio, i temi che essa sottende definiscono altre significative relazioni. L’ordinamento logico delle membrature, la chiarezza geometrica e il rigore dei rapporti rimandano ad una architettura che si misura, ed è misura stessa, del territorio e della sua morfologia. A sua volta, lo spessore della facciata esprime la relazione con l’ambiente e interpreta in maniera poetica i condizionamenti climatici, intervenendo sul controllo della luce, sui vuoti nei paramenti murari, sulla determinazione dell…
