"Durante" nel "Fiore": allusione all'autore o solo nome di personaggio?
No full text“Durante” in the Fiore: allusion to the author or only a character’s name? · In this article, it is observed that the author of the Fiore eliminates all the elements that allowed a clear identification of the names of the authors in the Roman de la Rose. It seems then more likely that the name “Durante” refers exclusively to the protagonist and narrator, and not to the author of the 232 sonnets
Divorce and well-being. Disentangling the role of stress and socio economic status
No full textWe investigate the happiness variations associated with divorce by drawing data
from a retrospective panel dataset based on the third wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and covering 14 European countries. This dataset proposes as a powerful tool to control for reporting style heterogeneity in happiness self-evaluations. Indeed, in addition to individual fixed-effects, we control for full migration trajectories in order to remove bias in well-being evaluations produced by cross-country heterogeneity in the cultural norms and societal values individuals have been exposed during their life-cycle. Happiness is found to increase
in the period after divorce for both men and women. We show that this pattern goes through a decrease in stress and financial hardship.We investigate the happiness variations associated with divorce by drawing data from a retrospective panel dataset based on the third wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and covering 14 European countries.

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury: Potential new strategies
No full textContrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is an impairment of renal function following contrast media administration in the absence of an alternative cause. It represents a powerful predictor of poor early and late outcomes. Here, we review the major strategies to prevent CI-AKI
Therapeutic strategies to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury
No full textPurpose of Review: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) accounts for approximately 10% of all causes of hospital-acquired renal failure, causes a prolonged in-hospital stay, and represents a powerful predictor of poor early and late outcome. Here, we highlight endpoints used to assess major strategies to prevent CI-AKI. Recent Findings: A general consensus exists on the beneficial prophylactic effect of hydration. This seems to act by increasing urine flow rate and, thereby, by limiting the time of contact between the contrast media and the epithelial tubular cells. On the contrary, both observational trials and randomized studies are often controversial in their conclusions on the efficacy of several drugs tested to prevent CI-AKI. Compounds evaluated include diuretics (furosemide), antioxidants (i.e., N-acetylcysteine and statins), and vasodilators (i.e., calcium antagonists, dopamine, and fenoldopam). Due to the negative and/or controversial clinical results, none of these drugs has been currently recommended to prevent CI-AKI. CONCLUSION: More reliable markers of acute kidney injury and new prophylactic strategies are warranted to prevent the incidence of CI-AKI
