Up to date on the use of triptans for child and adolescent migraine: “the state of the art”
No full textThe introduction of triptans, in the early 1990s, has improved the therapy for acute migraine attack, offering a new quality of life for those patients who suffer from this disabling neurological disorder. Epidemiological data point out that about 10% of school–age children suffer from migraine, with a progressive increase in incidence and prevalence up to the threshold of adulthood. The increase in extent and prevalence of migraine from the years of growth stresses the importance of the application and adjustment of ad hoc therapeutic (either pharmacological or not) and diagnostic measures. Indeed, the peculiar neurobiological and psychological aspects which are typical of an “evolving” organism preclude the use, by simple “transposition” or “proportion”, of the knowledge acquired from adult–targeted studies. That requires the implementation of studies to analyze the specific responses of children and adolescents to the triptans. To date, the studies on such issues are absolutely insufficient to draw definitive conclusions and indications for the use of triptans for child and adolescent migraineurs
Seismic Retrofit of Existing Masonry Buildings through Inter-story Isolation System: A Case Study and General Design Criteria
No full textThis paper investigates the potentials of inter-story isolation systems (IIS) for retrofitting irregular masonry buildings by means of an isolated vertical addition realised on the roof of the existing structure. By assuming a case study, a wide parametric analysis is firstly carried out on lumped-masses model for identifying the dynamic properties of the isolated superstructure that minimizes the global seismic response. Hence, a 3D FE model is adopted for the detailed design and analysis of the IIS structure, with different solutions, in order to regularize the global seismic response of the IIS complex. Finally, some general design criteria are suggested
