The role of PMCT for the assessment of the cause of death in natural disaster (landslide and flood): a Sicilian experience
2021
AbstractIn this report, the authors provide a contribution of PMCT in assessing the cause of death due to natural disasters. Here, the PMCT findings of 43 subjects who died during both landslide and flood were described. The post-mortem imaging revealed, clearly, traumatic injuries and/or the presence of foreign material in airways allowing to assess the cause of death of each subject, together with external inspection and the collected circumstantial data. Particularly, the PMCT has been helpful for characterization and localization of the clogging substance in airways providing findings on bronchial branches involvement. Moreover, the investigation offered detailed data on skeletal injuri…
The effect of intracavernosal growth differentiation factor-5 therapy in a rat model of cavernosal nerve injury.
2006
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the intracavernosal application of growth differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) influences nerve regeneration and erectile function after cavernosal nerve injury in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four equal groups: eight had a sham operation (uninjured controls), while 24 had bilateral cavernosal nerve crush. The crush-injury groups were treated at the time of injury with an impregnated collagen sponge implanted into the right corpus cavernosum. The sponge contained no GDF-5 (injured controls), 2 µg (low concentration), or 20 µg GDF-5 (high concentration). Erectile function was assessed by cavernosa…
Neuroimaging for the anesthesiologist.
2007
Neuroimaging is essential in the treatment of cerebral nervous system disorders or in patients in the ICU with deterioration of their neurologic function. Leading clinical symptoms are acute neurologic deficits with different stages of hemisymptomatology, primary or progressing loss of consciousness or vigilance deficit, focal or generalized seizures, sometimes combined with an acute respiratory or circulatory insufficiency. The resulting questions can be summarized in those of intracranial space occupying hemorrhage; acute infarction; and signs for reduced cerebral blood flow, cerebrovascular vasospasm, or intracranial mass. Recent evolutions in imaging have contributed to an increase in d…
Modulation of hippocampal neurogenesis by Nano-Pulsed Laser Therapy
Neurogenesis is a physiological process through which new neurons are generated and it occurs throughout life, subverting the old dogma stating to the inability of the adult brain to replace neurons. Specifically, neurogenesis take place thanks to the presence of neuronal stem cells (NSCs) located in the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle and in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Data present in the literature demonstrate that neurogenesis in the hippocampus decreases during aging and it is impaired in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, and after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a chronic disease that oc…
Sueño, insomnio y trauma histórico en La desheredada de Galdós
2022
El artículo estudia la novela de Benito Pérez Galdós La desheredada (1881) y su protagonista Isidora Rufete como un caso emblemático de personaje atormentado por el desengaño individual, dentro de las coordenadas del discurso literario y del discurrir de la Historia. En este caso, se pone de relieve la narración de lo irracional como proceso observable, así como los complejos trastornos del insomnio determinado por traumas individuales y colectivos. El enfoque filosófico del pensamiento de María Zambrano acerca del ámbito del sueño y sus correlatos, así como su sensibilidad literaria y su profunda lectura de la obra de Galdós, han supuesto una clave de interpretación proficua. De hecho, se …
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Val66Met) polymorphism does not influence recovery from a post-traumatic vegetative state: a blinded retrospective…
2012
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that influences neuronal plasticity throughout life. Emergence from a vegetative state (VS) after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) implies that the brain undergoes plastic changes. A common polymorphism in the BDNF gene—BDNF Val66Met (referred to herein as BDNFMet)—impairs cognitive function in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to determine whether the BDNFMet polymorphism plays a role in the recovery of consciousness and cognitive functions in patients in a VS after a TBI. Fifty-three patients in a VS 1 month after a TBI were included in the study and genotyped for the BDNFMet polymorphism. Scores of levels of cognitive fun…
