Musei inclusivi. L'audiodescrizione come esperienza partecipata
No full textIl contributo illustra i risultati di un esperimento di progettazione partecipata finalizzato alla creazione di servizi museali specifici per i disabili della vista. L’analisi del comparto museale italiano e della letteratura di settore hanno messo in evidenza la necessità di avviare sul territorio processi creativi che, seguendo i principi del community engagement, consentano di restituire il patrimonio culturale ai cittadini, arginando fenomeni di esclusione sociale. Nello specifico, la collaborazione fra specialisti del settore museale e utenti finali ha portato alla realizzazione di cinque audio descrizioni pilota per il Museo Storico Archeologico dell’Università del Salento

Canine prostatic serum esterase and strain and 2D‐shear wave sonoelastography for evaluation of normal prostate in dogs: Preliminary results
No full text: Canine prostatic serum esterase (CPSE) is considered a useful tool to identify prostate disorders in dogs, with increasing interest in ultrasound (US)-based sonoelastography to non-invasively detect prostate disorders. Since no report is available about a possible correlation between these diagnostic tools, we aimed to investigate a possible correlation between strain elastography (SE) and 2D-shear wave elastography (SWE) and CPSE. Twenty-one dogs were included and, on each animal, CPSE was evaluated followed by a complete US examination and SE and 2D-SWE application. Healthy dogs were identified based on the CPSE results. All the dogs included were characterized by normal CPSE values (<52.3 ng/mL) and normal US prostate appearance. The prostate was characterized by intermediate stiffness with SE (pattern III - 84.7% for the left lobe and 79.27% for the right lobe) and softer than the abdominal wall (SR 0.6 for the left lobe and 0.56 for the right lobe), with low values for both m/s and kilopascals (kPa) for 2D-SWE, pointing that the healthy tissue is not hard. 2D-SWE results were, respectively, 13.51 ± 5.55 kPa and 2.31 ± 0.42 m/s for the left lobe and 18.05 ± 6.47 kPa and 2.39 ± 0.43 m/s for the right lobe. The significant difference between the right and left measurements expressed with kPa, not evidenced with m/s, can be considered indicative of m/s as the most reliable measurement to be considered regarding the prostate parenchyma. Even though no linear correlation was detected between CPSE and elastography values, these preliminary results evidence that the healthy prostates were characterized by a similar elastographic pattern, thus pointing that these techniques can be potentially useful to be applied in case of prostatic disorders to improve the accuracy of the final diagnosis in a non-invasive way

No full textEvaluation of the Spirotome Device for Nasal Tumors Biopsy in Eleven Dogs
No full textThis study evaluated the accuracy and diagnostic quality of histological samples obtained with the Spirotome device on biopsies from dogs affected by canine nasal tumors. Eleven dogs were included in this study. The mean age was 10 years. All biopsies were successfully performed within 15 minutes. All dogs showed nasal bleeding after the biopsies, which was quickly managed by applying intranasal compression with sterile cotton swabs. Bleeding stopped within 10 minutes after sampling. All biopsy samples were considered satisfactory by the pathologist, allowing a proper histological assessment
Un libro de horas iluminado para Alfonso de Borja : influencia de los grabados alemanes en la miniaturade la Corona de Aragon a mediados del siglo 14. / Francesca Manzari.
No full textIl saggio ricostruisce il contesto di produzione di un raro esempio di libro d’ore valenziano della metà del Quattrocento, indagando a fondo i diversi aspetti del raffinato manufatto. Il repertorio decorativo secondario viene ricondotto alla produzione valenziana, mentre le carte incipitarie maggiori, dotate di straordinarie ma inusuali bordure miniate, vengono spiegate identificandone i modelli nella carte da gioco prodotte da un proto-incisore tedesco, spesso utilizzato come repertorio di modelli anche in ambito fiammingo. L’identificazione di un ritratto del destinatario e del suo nome, Alfonso, insieme all’indagine “archeologica” sulle tracce di fogli perduti hanno permesso di proporre Alfonso Borgia, quale committente, alla metà del secolo, prima della sua elezione come papa Callisto IIIThe essay reconstructs the context of production of a rare example of Valencian Book of Hours from the mid-15th century, investigating in-depth the different features of the elegant artefact. The secondary decorative repertory is linked with the illuminated production at Valencia, while the major incipit pages, with extraordinary but unusual illuminated borders, are explained identifying their models in the printed playing cards produced by a German engraver; these were used as model books especially in Flanders. The identification of the owner’s portrait and name, Alfonso, together with the “archeological” analysis of the traces of lost leaves, have enabled the author to propose Alfonso Borgia as the patron, dating the book to the middle of the century, before his election as pope Callixtus II

REGIONALLY BASED LUNG ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION IN DOGS NATURALLY INFECTED WITH ANGIOSTRONGYLUS VASORUM: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
No full textAngiostrongylus vasorum (Nematoda, Metastrongyloidea) is a molluscan-borne parasitic nematode that has been recognized as a cause of cardiopulmonary disease and coagulopathies in dogs. Early and accurate diagnosis is fundamental but difficult because clinical, laboratory and diagnostic imaging findings are not specific [1]. Lung ultrasound (LUS) has shown potential as an important screening test and monitoring tool for the diagnosis and management of respiratory distress or with respiratory disease [2]. The purpose of this study was to establish the usefulness of regionally based LUS examination to describe the artifacts representing different states of pulmonary interstitial-alveolar infiltration or consolidation in dogs infected by A. vasorum. Between January and March 2018 four dogs with the diagnosis of A. vasorum infection (Baermann’s test) were evaluated. For each dog clinical signs (i.e. coughing, tachypnea, and dyspnea), hematology, biochemistry and coagulation profiles, radiographic, and echocardiographic findings were recorded. LUS was performed before (T0), and 30 days after (T30) the treatment with imidacloprid 10%/moxidectin 2.5% (Advocate®, Bayer Animal Health), based on the Veterinary bedside lung ultrasound examination (VetBlue) protocol described by Lisciandro et al. (2014). LUS severity score: normal (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3), was assigned by the evaluation of LUS artifacts (B-lines, Nodules [Nds], consolidation with aeration [Shs], consolidation with no aeration [Ts]) and their prevalence in VetBlue regions. One author-sonographer (GA) performed LUS examinations in all dogs using the same 10 C microconvex 4-10 MHZ ultrasound probe (Logiq S8 Vet GE). At T0 1/4 dogs showed severe clinical signs (coughing, and dyspnea) associated with severe radiologic changes (peripheral alveolar pattern, nodular pattern and lung consolidation affecting areas in all lung lobes). LUS score value was 3, with the prevalence of Shs and Nds findings in all regions of VetBlue examination. Three of 4 dogs showed coughing, and radiologic changes including nodular interstitial and peripheral alveolar patterns (3/3 dogs), and single areas of lung consolidation (2/3 dogs). LUS score values were 2 (2/3 dogs), and 1 (1/ 3 dogs). B-lines, Nds, and Shs were the prevalent LUS findings, with multiple regional distributions. No clinical signs were observed in all 4 dogs at T30, and Baermann test resulted negative. Radiographic features were substantially improved in all dogs. LUS score values were 0 (2/4 dogs), and 1 (2/4 dogs). B- lines, Nds, were the main LUS findings observed in a single location of the Vetblue examination. Based on the results of this study, regionally based Lung Ultrasound examination could represent a noninvasive diagnostic tool complementary to thoracic radiography for the evaluation, and monitoring of lung interstitial-alveolar infiltration and lung consolidation in dogs with A. vasorum infection
Diagnostic Imaging of Gastrointestinal Tumours in Dogs and Cats: A Review
No full textGastrointestinal tract tumours in dogs and cats are characterized by non-specific clinical presentation and laboratory abnormalities, but require fast identification, characterization and staging. Imaging techniques play a key role in the diagnostic process of these diseases in routine veterinary practice. Survey and contrast radiography may indicate primary or secondary signs of gastric or intestinal neoplasia such as a wall mass, functional alterations and stenosis points, but they have low sensibility and limited diagnostic value. Ultrasound allows to perform a detailed study of gastrointestinal wall's layers and thickness and adjacent organs but requires adequate acoustic windows and expert operators. Computed tomography is a reference technique both in human and veterinary oncology for the identification of primary neoplasms and for metastases searching thanks to the possibility to scan the whole body and the use of intravenous iodinated contrast medium for vascular assessment. Specific intraluminal distension techniques such as Helical-Hydro Computed Tomography and Computed Tomography Colonography can improve respectively stomach and colon associated masses. To date, Endoscopic Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance, despite their proven value in human medicine, lack of literatures that support their usefulness in the diagnosis and staging of gastrointestinal neoplasms in veterinary medicine and are not widely used in these pathologies. The purpose of this work is to review the literature on imaging modalities applied in gastrointestinal tumours diagnosis in dogs and cats, highlighting advantages and limitations of each technique in order to choose the proper imaging procedure in everyday clinical practice
