Preserving the electroacoustic music legacy: a case study of the SalMar Construction at the University of Illinois
No full textIn the summer of 2008 the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign acquired the papers of Salvatore Martirano (1927-1995), avant-garde composer, faculty member, and performer. This case study examines how the new electroacoustic compositional techniques present in Martirano's papers and his ground-breaking electronic music instrument, the Sal-Mar Construction, dramatically challenged the archivists to explore access and preservation practices for this unique cultural record. Context plays a key role in the preservation of electroacoustic compositions and instruments, considering that these tend to become ephemeral works of art once the composer ceases to maintain them in working order.This is the author's accepted manuscript of an article published in Notes, the Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association.

Not Just Sheet Music: Describing Print and Manuscript Music in Archives and Special Collections
No full textThe professional literature on archives and music librarianship in theUnited States only tangentially addresses the management of music archival records.Archives and special collections libraries often find print and manuscript music amongsttheir holdings, even if they are not music-specific repositories. Because printed musicmaterial is a proxy for the work and not the work itself, adequate description of thesematerials may require more granularity than archivists customarily provide. Existingstandards for archival description require more work before they will describe musicas easily as they describe text. The article offers descriptive examples for typicalmanifestations of musical works.Peer reviewe

No full textSeveral forms of primary and secondary hematological malignancies were rarely observed during the clinical course of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Patients needing a prolonged treatment with immunosuppressants, such as azathioprine or methotrexate, with familiarity and genetic predisposition seem to be at a higher risk of leukemia. On the other hand, asthenia, thickness, and fever may be the symptoms of the onset of each kind of hematological malignancy. The finding of anemia, alteration of leukocyte count and large undetermined cells may suggest increased probability of abnormal proliferation of a single white blood cell line. In this report, the occurrence of hematological malignancies is described in five patients affected by IBD (three with ulcerative colitis and two with Crohn's disease) attending our Gastroenterology Unit. © Springer-Verlag 2006
The Things We Keep: Considerations for Appraisal of Archival Materials in Music Libraries
No full textThis article discusses archival appraisal in relationship the documentary evidence of music-making and the principles behind acquisition decisions in an archival setting. It also explores the concept of enduring value as it applies to music materials and formulates clear definitions of the distinct facets of archival appraisal. This is a crucial component to any archival management program that can contribute to the healthy growth of the institution and its collections. The author formulates foundational elements for archival practices that actively expand the scope of the documented musical heritage preserved in archives throughout the world and outlines strategies for collecting a well-rounded and inclusive view of history.Peer reviewe
Comparison of two different daily dosages (2.4 vs. 1.2 g) of oral mesalazine in maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis patients: 1-year follow-up study
No full textBackground: Mesalazine as maintenance therapy in ulcerative colitis is used worldwide and has been proven to be effective. However, the optimal dosage remains to be defined. Aim: To establish whether daily treatment with 2.4 g of oral mesalazine is more effective than 1.2 g in preventing disease relapse. Methods: A total of 156 patients with ulcerative colitis in remission were randomly treated for 1 year with 2.4 (n = 80) or 1.2 (n = 76) g/day of mesalazine. Activity of disease was assessed by periodical clinical, endoscopic and histological examinations. Results: After 12 months, 24 of 80 patients (30%) on 2.4 g and 20 of 76 patients (26%) on 1.2 g were still in remission (P = N.S.). Patients in 2.4 g group remained in remission for a longer time than those in 1.2 g group (P 3 relapses/year) was found to influence response to therapy. Conclusions: A daily dosage of 2.4 g of oral mesalazine seems to better at preventing and delaying relapses of ulcerative colitis than 1.2 g. The course of disease seems to be crucial in choosing the optimal dosage of mesalazine in a maintenance regimen
Oral mesalazine (5-ASA) treatment may protect against proximal extension of mucosal inflammation in ulcerative proctitis
No full textObjectives: Studies aimed at establishing which characteristics of patients with ulcerative proctitis could be predictive of the extension of inflammation have failed to provide conclusive results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic role of clinical and therapeutic parameters in patients with proctitis. Patients and Methods: Case records of 138 patients with ulcerative proctitis were retrospectively evaluated. The following parameters were considered: gender; age at onset of disease; smoking habits; histologic severity of disease at onset; mean number of clinical relapses of disease per year; mean duration of oral and topical mesalazine treatment; and number of topical corticosteroid treatments per year. Results: Twenty-eight patients were excluded from the analysis for different reasons. During follow-up, inflammation spread proximally in 33 of 110 patients (30%). Patients with extended proctitis showed a significantly higher number of relapses and a shorter duration of oral mesalazine treatment than patients with nonprogressive proctitis (P < 0.001 for both). The multivariate analysis also found that the mean duration of topical mesalazine treatment was longer in patients with extended proctitis. Conclusions: Ulcerative proctitis patients with more frequent relapses who need a longer duration of topical therapy are at higher risk of extension of the disease, while a more prolonged oral mesalazine treatment period protects against the proximal spread of rectal inflammation.
