Locally finite p-groups with all subgroups either subnormal or nilpotent-by-Chernikov
No full textWe pursue further our investigation, begun in [H.~Smith, Groups with all subgroups subnormal or nilpotent-by-{C}hernikov, emph{Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova} 126 (2011), 245--253] and continued in [G.~Cutolo and H.~Smith, Locally finite groups with all subgroups subnormal or nilpotent-by-{C}hernikov. emph{Centr. Eur. J. Math.} (to appear)] of groups in which all subgroups are either subnormal or nilpotent-by-Chernikov. Denoting by the class of all such groups, our concern here is with locally finite p-groups in the class , where is a prime, while an earlier article provided a reasonable classification of locally finite nb-groups in which all of the p-sections are nilpotent-by-Chernikov. Our main result is that if is a Baer p-group in then is nilpotent-by-Chernikov

The Effects of Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation on Anatomical and Functional Parameters in Patients with Primary Angle Closure: A Prospective Study. (An American Ophthalmological Society Thesis)
No full textTo investigate the clinical, anatomical, and patient-reported outcomes of phacoemulsification (PE) with intraocular lens implantation performed to treat primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG)
Subgroups defyning automorphism in locally nilpotent groups
No full textWe investigate some situation in which automorphisms of a group G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to a proper subgroup H. Much of the paper is devoted to studying under which additional hypotheses this property forces G to be nilpotent if H is. As an application we prove that certain countably infinite locally nilpotent groups have uncountably many (outer) automorphisms
Verbal sets and cyclic coverings
No full textWe consider groups G such that the set of all values of a fixed word w in G is covered by a finite set of cyclic subgroups. Fernandez-Alcober and Shumyatsky studied such groups in the case when w is the word [x,y], and proved that in this case the corrisponding verbal subgroup G' is either cyclic or finite. Answering a question asked by them, we show that this is far from being the general rule. However, we prove a weaker form of their result in the case when w is either a lower commutator word or a non-commutator word, showing that in the given hypothesis the verbal subgroup w(G) must be finite-by-cyclic. Even this weaker conclusion is not universally valid:it fails for verbose words
A note on endomorphisms of hypercentral groups
No full textLet H be a subnormal subgroup of a hypercentral group G. We prove that endomorphisms of G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to H if and only if Hom(G/HG,G)=0, and draw some consequences from this fact
Recommendations for the use of biologic (TNF-alpha blocking) agents in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in Italy
No full textThe present report is devoted to drawing up and disseminating specific recommendations for the use of anti-TNF-alpha therapies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Italy. The document reports and discusses the published literature concerning the criteria for inclusion, assessment of response and for withdrawal of treatment with TNF blocking agents in RA. Several specific points concerning more sensitive warnings are discussed: tuberculosis, hepatitis, lymphoma, and cardiovascular risk and induction of autoimmunity. The recommendations are summarized in an 8-point table approved by the executive committee of the Italian Society for Rheumatology
Streetparliaments of Côte d’Ivoire. Oratory and apparatus among the jeunes patriotes in Abidjan”
No full textIl saggio descrive il dispositivo di mobilitazione messo in opera dai (jeunes patriotes) in Costa d'Avorio, e in particolare le cosiddette "agorà", assemblee pubbliche permanenti che tra il 2002 e il 2010 sono fiorite in ogni quartiere della città di Abidjan (arrivando a costituire una rete di un centinaio di unità). Vengono messi in evidenza i percorwsi di soggettivazione, le tecniche del corpo, e le tecniche oratorie adottare dai giovani oratori patriottici, mostrando come esse -attraverso il mecanismo della testualizzazione dell'oratoria, delle nuove gerarchie, dell'istituzionalizzzione- riescano a ricondurre a un discorso nazionalista unitario la molteplicità d'istanze espresse dai "giovani patrioti"
Abdominoplasty after bariatric surgery: Comparison of three different techniques
No full textBACKGROUND: Abdominoplasty after massive weight loss is not a cosmetic procedure. The aim of this study was to compare three different techniques for postbariatric abdominoplasty. METHODS: All postbariatric patients that have undergone abdominoplasty from January 2013 to December 2016 were included in the study. Patients were divided into 3 groups: Subjects who underwent standard procedure were allocated ingroup A; those cases performed using a synthetic glue were assigned to group B; cases performed with an energy device were inserted in group C. Operative time, length of stay and complications were recorded. RESULTS: Seventy-one abdominoplasties were performed in the selected period. Mean operative time was shorter (P<0.01) in group C (94.3±2.7 minutes) than in group A(112.1±16.8 minutes) and in group B (121±13.2 minutes). Mean length of stay was significantly reduced (P<0.01) in group C (2.4±0.7) when compared to group A (3.5±0.6 days) and group B (3.1±0.5 days). Bleeding occurred in 21 (29.5%) patients (15 in group A, 4 in groupB, 3 in group C; P<0.01). Seroma was detected in 22(30.9%) subjects (14 in group A, 2in group B, 6 in group C; P<0.01). Wound dehiscence and umbilical necrosis were recorded in 7 (9.9%) and 9 (12.6%) patients respectively, without statistical differences. CONCLUSIONS: Both synthetic glue and energy device improve outcomes of postbariatric abdominoplasties. The glue reduces rates of bleeding and seroma. The energy deviceimproves intraoperative hemostasis and shortens operative time. copy
