Stasi-Spitzel mit Deutscher Dogge - Erfahrungen eines Kulturjournalisten mit der DDR
No full textZur Geschichte der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR), in der
„Militarismus und Nazismus ausgerottet“ wurden, gibt es erschreckend viel Unkenntnis, Fehlurteile, Vorurteile und nostalgische Verklärungen. In einer Studium Generale Ringvorlesung an der Universität Tübingen haben deshalb Zeitzeugen aus ihren verschiedenen persönlichen Erfahrungen in und mit der DDR berichtet, unter anderem Karl Corino über seine Erfahrungen als Kulturjournalist beim Hessischen Rundfunk mit Künstlern aus der DDR
Influence of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and L-Lysine on heavy pigs performances and meat quality
No full textConjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of positional and geometric fatty acid isomers derived from linoleic acid. Dietary CLA supplementation has been shown to increase feed efficiency and may reduce body fat content in swine as recently reviewed by Corino et al., (2005). There was only one research conducted in heavy pig in which the authors did not observed any significant effect of dietary CLA on growth performances and lean tissue (Corino et al., 2003)
Dietary vitamin E and verbascoside mixture: effect on quality of longissimus dorsi muscle from 135 kg LW pigs
No full textMedium-heavy swine slaughter at 135 kg live weight represents an alternative for the Italian heavy pig farming in which animal were slaughter at 160 kg of live weight. Medium-weight pigs are suitable for fresh meat consumption. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of dietary verbascoside and vitamin E mixture on physical, chemical and sensory parameters of Longissimus Dorsi muscle in pigs slaughter at 135 kg of live weight (LW). One hundred and fifty pigs, half castrated males and half females, were assigned to two experimental groups: the first group were fed a commercial diet and the second one the same diet with the addition of antioxidant mixture (Vitamin E and verbascoside). Pigs were fed on the basis of 9% of metabolic weight (LW0.75). The antioxidant mixture was administered to pigs 38 days before slaughter in daily amounts of 150 mg of Vitamin E and 15 mg of verbascoside from Verbenacea extract. At 135 kg of LW pig were slaughter in a commercial slaughterhouse (Pro Sus, s.c.a., Vescovato, Cremona, Italy). Twenty pigs per treatments (10 castrated males and 10 females) were randomly selected and the left LD muscles were sampled. Physical, chemical and sensory parameters were evaluated. Oxidative stability was assessed by TBARS during 8 days of refrigerated storage at 4°C. Sex and dietary treatment did not affect physical and chemical parameters of LD muscle. The values of intramuscular fat is higher than those reported for light pig (Corino et al., 2009), probably due to the pig genetic type and higher slaughter weight. It is near to that expected for heavy pigs (Corino et al., 2002). Dietary treatment positively influenced oxidative stability in LD from pig fed antioxidant mixture than controls during refrigerated storage (P<0.01), according with Lahucky et al., (2010). Sensory characteristics were unaffected by sex and dietary treatment. The results of the present study suggested that dietary antioxidant mixture containing verbascoside is an effective antioxidant in LD muscle, enhancing oxidative status without affect other meat quality parameters
Corino Andrade (1906-2005), um médico progressista
Full text linkDele se diz que descobriu uma doença nova mas essa é uma visão distorcida da realidade. A doença dos pezinhos, como todos os médicos sabem ou sabiam, «sempre» existiu (pelo menos desde a mutação genética inicial). O que Corino Andrade fez foi, simplesmente, reconhecê-la e estudá-la

Assessing the Performance of MRI-Radiomic Prognostic Signatures in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Comparative Analysis
Full text linkInfluence of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on intramuscular fatty acid composition in rabbit
Full text linkThe impact of feeding CLA has been thoroughly investigated in pigs, and Thiel- Cooper et al. (2001), Ostrowska et al. (2003), Lo Fiego et al. (2004), found that CLA modifies lipid fatty acid profile, negatively affecting some nutritional lipid indexes. So far,much less attention has been paid to rabbits. Recently, Corino et al. (2003) have shown that supplementing rabbit diets with CLA has limited effect on the chemical composition of meat and at a high slaughter weight reduces intramuscular fat content. The present research has been carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary CLA supplementation on cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12- C18:2 isomers content, and on fatty acid composition of rabbit intramuscular lipids
MODELING THE LUKEWARM CORINO PHASE: IS L1527 UNIQUE?
Full text linkSakai et al. have observed long-chain unsaturated hydrocarbons and cyanopolyynes in the low-mass star-forming region L1527, and have attributed this result to a gas-phase ion-molecule chemistry, termed warm carbon-chain chemistry, which occurs during and after the evaporation of methane from warming grains. The source L1527 is an envelope surrounding a Class 0/I protostar with regions that possess a slightly elevated temperature of 30 K. The molecules detected by Sakai et al. are typically associated only with dark molecular clouds, and not with the more evolved hot corino phase. In order to determine whether L1527 is chemically distinct from a dark cloud, we compute models including various degrees of heating. The results indicate that the composition of L1527 is somewhat more likely to be due to warm carbon-chain chemistry than to be a remnant of a colder phase. If so, the molecular products provide a signature of a previously uncharacterized early phase of low-mass star formation, which can be charac-terized as a ‘‘lukewarm’ ’ corino. We also include predictions for other molecular species that might be observed toward candidate lukewarm corino sources. Although our calculations show that unsaturated hydrocarbons and cyanopolyynes can be produced in the gas phase as the grains warm up to 30 K, they also show that such species do not disappear rapidly from the gas as the temperature reaches 200 K, implying that such species might be detected in hot corinos and hot cores.

Integrating radiomic and 3D autoencoder-based features for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer survival analysis
Full text linkBackground and objectives: The aim of this study is to develop a radiomic and deep learning-based signature for survival analysis of patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Methods: Four-hundred twenty-two patients from “Lung1” dataset were included in the study. A 3D convolutional autoencoder (AE) was built and features from the latent space extracted for further analysis. Radiomic features were derived from the 3D volume of the tumor region using PyRadiomics. Both radiomic and AE-based features underwent feature selection, by removing: i) highly correlated and ii) constant features. The selected variables were then used to derive both mono-domain (radiomics, AE and clinic) and multi-domain signatures fitting a Cox Proportional Hazard model with LASSO penalization and evaluated considering the concordance (C)-index as performance metric. Results: Both mono-domain and multi-domain signatures could significantly differentiate high risk from low risk patients. Among the mono-domain signatures, the highest hazard ratio (HR) in the test set was obtained using radiomics (HR = 1.5428) followed by the AE-based signature (HR = 1.5012) and the clinical signature (HR = 1.4770). The best overall performance was achieved by combining all three signatures, resulting in the highest HR (HR = 1.7383), while the combination of AE-based and clinical signatures yielded the highest C-index (C-index = 0.6309). Conclusions: These preliminary results show that combining information carried by AE, radiomic and clinical domain shows potential for improving the prediction of overall survival in NSCLC patients
Influence of long-term nutrition with different dietary fats on fatty acid composition of heavy pigs backfat
Full text linkThe aim of this study was to assess the influence of long-term fat supplementation on the fatty acid profile of heavy pig adipose tissue. Fifty-four Large White barrows, averaging 25 kg LW, were randomized (matched weights) to one of three isoenergetic diets supplemented with either tallow (TA), maize oil (MO), or rapeseed oil (RO). The fats were supplemented at 3% as fed from 25 to 110 kg LW, and at 2.5% from 110 kg to slaughtering. Following slaughter at about 160 kg LW, backfat samples were collected from ten animals per treatment and analyzed. Fatty acid composition of backfat closely reflected the fatty acid composition of the supplemented fats. The backfat of pigs fed TA had the highest saturated fatty acid content (SFA) (P<0.01); those fed MO had the highest content in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and the lowest in monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) content; those fed RO had the highest content of linolenic acid (C18:3) and cis 11-ecosenoic acid (C20:1). Only MO treatment had an effect on linoleic acid levels and the iodine value (IV) of backfat, resulting in levels higher than those (IV = 70; C18:2 = 15%) accepted by the Parma Consortium for dry-cured ham. The IV and unsaturation index in both layers of subcutaneous backfat tissue differed significantly between treatments. These results show that long-term dietary supplementation with different fats changes the fatty acid profile of heavy pig adipose tissue. Supplementation with rapeseed oil increases the proportion of "healthy" fatty acids in pig fat, thereby improving the nutritional quality, however the effects on the technological quality of the fat must be carefully assessed
