Conclusions. | (Abstract) The Foglia saga remains key to understanding the relationship between the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and domestic courts in art. 267 TFEU proceedings. By discussing the dossier de procédure of case 244/80 (Foglia v Novello II ECLI:EU:C:1981:302), this Article adds to the existing debates on the case. In doing so, it gives insights into the legal arguments of the different actors as found in the dossier, as well as into the way in which these were handled by the Court. Whereas their overall legal stance on the issue was clear from the outset, the most remarkable findings concern the arguments that were left unsaid in the final version of the judgment. These illustrate that, contrary to what the judgment seems to suggest, the case was as much about demonstrating the existence of a genuine dispute between the two parties in this specific case, as it was about the Court's appraisal powers. The material found is also in line with existing academic commentary which pointed to the influence of France in the judgment. Though these findings are not conclusive and do not purport to reveal the motives behind this enigmatic ruling, they nonetheless give fresh insight into this extensively discussed issue

    Dexmedetomidine for perioperative management of five dogs submitted to a pheochromocytoma ablation Lambertini C., Joechler M, Foglia A., Romagnoli N. Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna,. Via Tolara di Sopra 50 - 40064 Ozzano dell’Emilia (BO), Italy. Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) ablation produces severe cardiovascular complications. In humans dexmedetomidine minimizes hemodynamic alterations during surgical PHEO manipulation (Singh and Singh 2014). Five mixed breed dogs undergoing adrenalectomy for PHEO were premedicated with dexmedetomidine (1g kg-1) and methadone (0.2 mg kg-1) IM. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol IV and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Dexmedetomidine (0.5 g kg-1 h-1) and remifentanil (3 g kg-1 min-1) or fentanyl (5-10 g kg-1 h-1) were administered IV. Cardiorespiratory parameters were monitored throughout the procedure. After extubation, dexmedetomidine was discontinued and post-operative analgesia was provided by methadone (0.1 mg kg-1) IM. Episode of hypotension, hypertension and arrhythmias were recorded and quantified. Data were analyzed with a descriptive statistic and are shown as mean SD. In all dogs, sedation and induction were smooth without hemodynamic alterations. The mean HR intraopearively was 77.9 15.9 beats min-1 and the mean MAP was 75.1 4.7 mmHg. One dog experienced atrioventricular blocks and a transient increase in blood pressure up to a MAP of 125 mmHg. Two dogs experienced transient hypotension (MAP 50 mmHg):one dog was treated with crystalloid administration; but in the other one dobutamine was administered IV. All dogs were discharged within 10 days. Perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine along with remifentanil or fentanyl in dogs with PHEO provided satisfactory sedation and analgesia. In addition dexmedetomidine, by means of its effect of inhibition of catecholamines’ outflow (Moura et al. 2006; Jung et al. 2012), prevented significant alteration in HR and blood pressure during mass manipulation.

    Device for controlled assistance of the grip

    No full text
    The present invention relates to a device (1) for the controlled assistance of the grip, comprising a first element (3), which can be worn on one hand, and which comprises a pair of ferromagnetic plates (30, 31). The device then comprises a second element (4) which comprises a ferromagnetic core (40) whose opposite poles are each connected to one of the two ferromagnetic plates (30, 31). The device further (1) comprises a power supply unit (5) connected to an excitation coil (42) wound around the ferromagnetic core (40). A control unit (6) controls the voltage supplied by the power supply unit to the ends of the coil (42), so as to adjust the magnetic field generated to the ferromagnetic plates (30, 31)

    His early years, his family. The parents of Bernardo Alberto, Alberto Houssay and Clara Laffont, were born in the South of France, the former in Bayonne and the latter in Aussanes- Angles (Hautes Pyrenees). They married in Argentina and a daughter was born. Soon after, they returned to France as Alberto Houssay's baccalaureate obtained in France was not recognized in Argentina. In Bordeaux, Alberto Houssay graduated as a lawyer and Doctor in Law. There two sons were born.OriginalFil: Foglia, Virgilio G.. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

    A Test Bed for the Experimental Study of a Cylindrical Shaped Robot on rough-Terrain

    A testbed for the characterization of the dynamic behavior of a cylindrical robot in motion on deformable soil is described. The mobile robot consists of a cylindrical rigid shell which can roll on rough terrain thanks to an internal device. The test-bench was designed and optimized to experimentally test the interaction between the external shell and the soil with different mechanical characteristics. A LabView based software to lead and acquire the necessary data for the experiments was developed. Pc-based boards with general purposes A/D I/O ports were used for the rotative and linear encoders and the internal device d.c. motor. The goal is to build a big sensor to estimate the forces system arising from the interaction between a rigid cylindrical shell and rough terrain. Experimental results show the testbed can give a good measure of the travelling resistance that the mini-vehicle meets on rough terrain
