Gianfrancesco Maineri, Paolo da San Leocadio i la gènesi d?un model de Crist portacreu
No full textThis paper focuses on the link between the various copies of Christ carrying the Cross by Gianfrancesco Maineri and the homonyms of Paolo da San Leocadio. Through various comparisons, it will try to explain the genesis of said model, also providing data that will allow a better classification of Leocadian specimens. Finally, a series of reflections are made around the hypothetical return of San Leocadio to Italy (1485-1489) and his possible connection with Maineri
Therapeutic efficacy of a nutritional combination of N-3 PUFAS and Arctium lappa in canine atopic dermatitis
No full textThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a diet containing Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (n-3 PUFAs) supplemented with the Arctium lappa (AL) plant (Fito Progres® ADULT Sensitive, Blaufelden Wiesenbach, Germany) on Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD). Twenty atopic dogs were fed a specifically prepared diet for 90 days and were then returned to their usual diet for another 90 days. A physiological and complete dermatological examination was conducted every 30 days. The examination of the dogs’ skin included an assessment of the Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index (CADESI) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pruritus based on owner-derived data. The results show a significant reduction (p<0.01) in the total CADESI score for the 1st 90 days of the trial (V90) compared to day 0 (V0; selection visit) and the same trend is also evident during the following 90 days. Therefore, the positive effect of the feed persisted for 90 days after the studied diet was suspended. Furthermore, the research shows a highly significant reduction (p<0.01) in pruritus during the period the dogs received the studied diet compared to V0 while the pruritus increased significantly in the second period of the trial (p<0.05) compared to V90. The number of dogs with pruritus decreased after 90 days of feeding with the formulated diet while it increased after the studied diet was suspended. The results of this study suggest that the studied diet could be a powerful tool in the management of CAD
A complex chromosome re arrangement with 10 breakpionts: tentative assignment of the locus for Williams syndrome to 4q33-q35.1
No full textAn unbalanced complex chromosome rearrangement with 10 breakpoints resulting in four derivative chromosomes (1, 2, 4, and 11) was found in a girl with severe phenotypic abnormalities, many of which are characteristic of Williams syndrome. The patient was monosomic for the region 4q33----q35.1 and thus the mapping of the syndrome could tentatively be restricted to this region
Immiscibility between carbonic fluids and granitic melts during crustal anatexis: A fluid and melt inclusion study in the enclaves of the Neogene Volcanic Province of SE Spain
No full textIn the restitic crustal enclaves in the Neogene volcanics of El Hoyazo and Mazarron (SE Spain), associations of fluid and silicate melt inclusions indicative of immiscibility are frequently observed in the Bt-poor, Crd-rich graphitic metapelites. These occurrences, extremely rare for anatectic crustal rocks, have been studied by microthermometry, micro-Raman spectroscopy and EMP analysis. Both at El Hoyazo and Mazarron the immiscible FI and MI are hosted in plagioclase and cordierite, with microstructures that suggest primary trapping. The FI hosted in cordierite are monophase, whereas they may contain crystals of calcite when hosted in plagioclase, indicating fluid-host reaction during cooling. Decrepitation microstructures have not been observed. The MI contain fresh glass of peraluminous, felsic rhyolitic composition, typical of anatectic S-type melts. In all samples the fluids are CO(2)-dominated (> 85 mol%), with minor amounts of N(2) and CH(4), and traces of CO and H(2). The nucleation of graphite, induced by the laser beam in some inclusions, demonstrates that the fluids are graphite-saturated. Large scatter in microthermometric behaviour of FI indicates significant density variations. Only in one sample from El Hoyazo are fluid densities compatible with the estimated P-T conditions of trapping (5-7 kbar, 850 +/- 50 degrees C), whereas in the remaining samples the extremely low densities, suggesting trapping pressures < 1 kbar, are in contrast with the microstructural indications of primary entrapment and little evidence of decrepitation. In addition, although some measured compositions are compatible with C-O-H-N fluid speciation at the estimated P-T conditions of anatexis, the lack of H(2)O in all FI is inconsistent with the slightly hydrated character of coexisting glasses. The possible mechanisms accounting for departure of densities and compositions of FI from expected values are discussed, and leakage of H(2)O suggested as the most plausible. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
