Peritonite meconiale in una rara associazione di atresia ileale apple-peel con difetto di parete addominale

2014

L’atresia intestinale tipo III B (apple peel) e la gastroschisi sono entrambe malformazioni congenite che necessitano di correzione chirurgica precoce in epoca neonatale. La loro associazione è un evento molto raro. Presentiamo il caso di un neonato a termine con l’associazione di atresia ileale apple-peel parziale e piccolo difetto della parete addominale anteriore, complicate con perforazione intestinale in utero e conseguente peritonite meconiale. Abbiamo riscontrato un’atresia parziale delle anse intestinali, coninteressamento dell’ileo terminale e risparmio del digiuno e di buona parte dell’ileo prossimale, difetto della parete addominale di piccole dimensioni e con poche anse erniate,…

Evaluation of Daylight Availability for Energy Savings.

2015

Dynamic daylight simulations are very useful instruments in daylighting design process. They allow an in depth analysis of indoor daylight availability levels and define if they are adequate to perform a particular visual task. Their results can be used to design shading devices or lighting control systems and compare different technical solutions. The use of these simulations is likely to spread in the common design practice since some regulations and green building rating systems suggest their use. This paper presents dynamic daylight simulation results related to an open-plan office, performed with Autodesk 3ds Max Design ® , which is a calculation software validated by recent researches…

Shake-table testing of a stone masonry building aggregate: overview of blind prediction study

2023

Bulletin of earthquake engineering (2023). doi:10.1007/s10518-022-01582-x special issue: "Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures"

1999

Two retrograde, amphibolite facies shear zones were studied to explore the relationship between retrograde mineral reactions, volume strain, fluid flow, mylonitization, and coaxial versus noncoaxial deformation. The two shear zones are the contractional Mafwewu Hills shear zone and the transcurrently displacing Mkamasa River shear zone of northern Malawi. In general, shear-zone formation is characterized by the breakdown of feldspar and biotite and the formation of sillimanite, quartz, and water. Silica, alkali, and alkali earth elements were mobile. Mass-balance calculations, based on major- and trace-element geochemistry, indicate as much as 50%–60% volume loss in mylonite. Fluid to rock …

Botulinum Toxin Is Effective in the Management of Neurogenic Dysphagia. Clinical-Electrophysiological Findings and Tips on Safety in Different Neurol…

2017

Background and Aims: Neurogenic dysphagia linked to failed relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) can be treated by injecting botulinum toxin (BTX) into the cricopharyngeal (CP) muscle. We compared the effects of this treatment in different neurological disorders with dysphagia, to evaluate its efficacy over time including the response to a second injection. Materials and Methods: Sixty-seven patients with neurogenic dysphagia associated with incomplete or absent opening of the UES (24 with brainstem or hemispheric stroke, 21 with parkinsonian syndromes, 12 with multiple sclerosis, and 10 with spastic-dystonic syndromes secondary to post-traumatic encephalopathy) were treated wi…

A novel cell wall protein specific to the mycelial form of Yarrowia lipolytica.

1996

A cDNA clone specifying a cell wall protein was isolated from a Yarrowia lipolytica cDNA library. The cDNA library was constructed in the expression vector lambda gt 11, with the RNA isolated from actively growing mycelial cells. The deduced amino acid sequence shows that the encoded protein contains an N-terminal hydrophobic signal peptide. We have designated this protein YWP1 for Yarrowia lipolytica cell Wall Protein. Northern hybridization identified YWP1 transcript only when Y. lipolytica was growing in the mycelial form. The encoded protein seems to be covalently bound to the glucan cell wall since it is not released from the cell walls by sodium dodecyl sulphate extraction, but it is …

A study of the Candida albicans cell wall proteome

2008

Considering the importance of proteins in the structure and function of the cell wall of Candida albicans, we analyzed the cell wall subproteome of this important human pathogen by LC coupled to MS (LC-MS) using different protein extraction procedures. The analyzed samples included material extracted by hydrogen fluoride-pyridine (HF-pyridine), and whole SDS-extracted cell walls. The use of this latter innovative procedure gave similar data as compared to the analysis of HF-pyridine extracted proteins. A total of 21 cell wall proteins predicted to contain a signal peptide were identified, together with a high content of potentially glycosylated Ser/Thr residues, and the presence of a GPI mo…
