Hirsutism: investigation and management.
2019
In all hirsute women, a careful diagnostic evaluation should be performed, and the findings will largely influence the therapeutic decisions and the follow-up of the patients. An assay of serum 17-OH progesterone is needed, while the measurement of total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin, with the calculation of free androgen index, are useful to assess androgen secretion. Other tests should be suggested only according to responses of specific clinical questions. Owing to their high cardiovascular and metabolic risk, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome should have an oral glucose-tolerance test and a complete lipid profile. No ideal treatment for hirsutism exists but, with c…
Relationships Between Biochemical Markers of Hyperandrogenism and Metabolic Parameters in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review a…
2019
AbstractWhile several studies have documented an increased risk of metabolic disorders in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), associations between androgenic and metabolic parameters in these patients are unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationships between biochemical markers of hyperandrogenism (HA) and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a literature search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science from 2000 to 2018 for assessing androgenic and metabolic parameters in PCOS patients. To assess the relationships between androgenic and metabolic parameters, meta-regression analys…
Androgen metabolism in the skin of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
1993
Pieces of skin of male and female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were incubated with testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone as substrates. In immature fish the conversion rate was low. In non-spawning adult males 11-ketotestosterone was reduced to 5α-11KDHT (up to 5.2%). In the fish in spawning condition the 5α-reduction rate was only about 1 to 2%. In the same specimens incubated with testosterone a high 11β-hydroxylase activity (23.8-25% in the male and 13% in the female skin) was found. Similar sex specific differences were observed for the occurence of 5α-reduced metabolites (about 20% in the male and 13% in the female tissue).

“Il Chisciotte in Spanglish tra riscrittura metatestuale e meticciamento metalinguistico: la sfida di Ilan Stavans".
2007
In un placete de La Mancha of which nombre no quiero remembrearme, vivía, not so long ago, uno de esos gentlemen… Così recita l’incipit del primo ed unico capitolo del Don Chisciotte, tradotto in Spanglish da Ilan Stavans con il titolo di Don Quixote de La Mancha. Lo Spanglish è un portmanteau dei termini Spanish (spagnolo) e English (Inglese), apparso per la prima volta tra il 1965 e il 1970 ed usato per riferirsi ad un fenomeno di contatto linguistico tipico, principalmente, della popolazione ispana in USA, la quale è esposta, parimenti, allo spagnolo e all’inglese. Lo Spanglish è il prodotto dell’interazione linguistica di comunità bilingue, si pensi a quelle stanziate presso il confine …
Migrazioni ed insediamenti informali: riflessioni sul caso siciliano
2022
Over the last fifty years, many European regions in the Mediterranean area, historically considered as areas of origin of international migration flows, have been transformed into places of reception. At the basis of this mobility is, among many factors, the demand, by a variable and globalised economy, for 'easy' labour, mostly made up of new immigrants, instrumental to that particular local economic system. Analysing the spatial dimension of the phenomenon, it highlights how the inadequacy and insufficiency of reception places and the increase in eviction phenomena contribute to the significant increase in the phenomenon of informal settlements in peripheral urban contexts, making it diff…

Il reciprocal teaching nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti di sostegno della scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado
2022
Attraverso il presente contributo si vuole verificare se nell’ambito del percorso di Specializzazione per le attività di sostegno per la Scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, un approccio sistematico basato sul Reciprocal Teaching, con 1203 futuri insegnanti di sostegno di scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado e materiali didattici appositamente predisposti, possa favorire il miglioramento della comprensione attraverso la capacità di sintesi e lo sviluppo di abilità metacognitive. Il Reciprocal Teaching, tra le varie strategie metacognitive è stata riconosciuta come la più solida dal punto di visto teorico e quella supportata da maggiori evi…
Effects of Upper Body Eccentric versus Concentric Strength Training and Detraining on Maximal Force, Muscle Activation, Hypertrophy and Serum Hormone…
2022
Effects of eccentric (ECC) versus concentric (CON) strength training of the upper body performed twice a week for 10 weeks followed by detraining for five weeks on maximal force, muscle activation, muscle mass and serum hormone concentrations were investigated in young women (n = 11 and n = 12). One-repetition bench press (1RM), maximal isometric force and surface electromyography (EMG) of triceps brachii (TB), anterior deltoid (AD) and pectoralis major (PM), cross-sectional area (CSA) of TB (Long (LoH) and Lateral Head (LaH)) and thickness of PM, as well as serum concentrations of free testosterone, cortisol, follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin were mea…
