Diagnosing cardiac syncope in older adults response. Response to Drs, Fackrell and Mac Mahon.
No full textWe agree with Drs. Fackrell and Mac Mahon
about the importance of a proper diagnosis of cardiac syncope.
Cardiac syncope is associated with greater mortality
than noncardiac syncope, and a detailed assessment of early
symptoms could improve the strategy for reaching diagnosis
as quickly as possible
Does preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio predict disease-free survival rate in colorectal cancer patients undergoing curative surgery?

No full textEACH OPERATION CARRIED OUT ON THE ACCESSORY OR MAIN BILIARY TRACT MUST BE COMPLETED BY ITS PRESSURY AND/OR FLUSSIMETRIC FUNCTIONAL STUDY. ALL THE METHODS USED TILL NOW HAVE A CONSTANT LIMIT: THEY STUDY THE INTRACHOLEDOCIC VARIATION, WHILE THE PAPILLARY SPHINCTER AND DUODENUM ARE STUDIED INDIRECTLY, ACCORDING TO THE VARIATION THEY DETERMINE ON THE CHOLEDOCIC PRESSURE. TREREFORE THE AUTHORS HAVE APPLIED A NEW METHODOLOGY BASED ON PRESSURE MEASUREMENT WITH A CONSTANT AND LATERAL FLUX (1CC/M) WITH RETROGRADE PILL-THROUGH. ALL THIS ENMBLES THE DIRECT STUDY OF THE DUODENAL-ODDIAN AND CHOLEDOCICAL PRESSURE AND THE INTERFERENCES UPON ODDI'S SPHINCTER EXERTED BY THE SEGMENT SITUATED ABOVE AND BELOW THE PAPILL
Geographical and ecological outline of metal(loid) accumulating plants in Italian vascular flora
Full text linkThe decontamination of heavy metal polluted soils is one of the major challenges that our industrialized world has to face. Remediation technologies are being developed and employed in order to reduce the potential hazards of metal and metalloid contamination. Plants capable of uptaking metals and metalloids in their tissues can be an effective tool to remove such pollutants from contaminated soils. The use of this plant-driven process (Phytoremediation) requires the knowledge of the right phytoextractors to use when facing different types of contamination. The aim of this paper is to provide an inventory of phytoextractors that can be used in Phytoremediation procedures in Italy. The checklist includes 172 native or non-invasive alien accumulating and hyperaccumulating plants. An ecological outline of the accumulating flora was done by using the Ellenberg indicator values (EIVs). The high ecological plasticity of these species in different environmental conditions offers a wide spectrum of phytoextractors to choose from for any phytoremediation procedure
