    New standards in hypertension and cardiovascular risk management: Focus on telmisartan

    No full text
    Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system is an important approach in managing high blood pressure, and has increasingly been shown to affect cardiovascular disease processes mediated by angiotensin II throughout the cardiovascular and renal continua. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) displaying unique pharmacologic properties, including a longer half life than any other ARB, that result in large and sustained reductions of blood pressure. In patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension, telmisartan has proved superior to other antihypertensive agents (valsartan, losartan, ramipril, perindopril, and atenolol) in controlling blood pressure particularly towards the end of the dosing interval. There is also clinical evidence that telmisartan reduces left ventricular hypertrophy, reduces arterial stiffness and the recurrence of atrial fibrillation, and confers renoprotection. The ONgoing Telmisartan Alone and in combination with Ramipril Global Endpoint Trial (ONTARGET®) study has demonstrated that telmisartan has similar cardiovascular protective effects to ramipril in a large, high-risk patient population but was better tolerated. The powerful and sustained blood pressure control apparent in clinical trials, together with cardiovascular protection and tolerability demonstrated in ONTARGET® means that telmisartan may be a preferred option for patients with hypertension. © 2010 Galzerano et al, publisher and licensee Dove Medical Press Ltd

    La ricerca mira ad analizzare il ruolo delle agenzie di stampa Reuters e AFP nell’evoluzione delle relazioni sino-europee durante il periodo maoista (1954-1979). Nel periodo preso in considerazione dallo studio, le due agenzie stipularono una serie di accordi con Xinhua, l’agenzia di stampa cinese, in un momento in cui le americane AP e UPI erano escluse da Pechino. Verrà dimostrato che l’attività delle due agenzie fu fondamentale nel riavvicinamento sino-europeo, non solo dal punto di vista dell’informazione, ma anche da quello delle relazioni politiche, economiche, culturali e tecnologico-scientifiche. In ultima analisi, l’attività di Reuters e AFP favorì il processo di adattamento della RPC al sistema politico, economico e mediatico internazionale.This study aims to examine the activity of Reuters and AFP in the People's Republic of China (PRC) during the Maoist era (1954-1979). The analysis seeks to formulate an answer to the following question: how did European news agencies and their Peking correspondents contribute to the development of Sino-European relations? The research supports the idea that Reuters and AFP had an influential role in the Sino-European rapprochement. Both news agencies not only played a part in shaping people’s perception of Chinese politics and society through international reporting, but also played a pivotal role in the evolution of cultural, economic and political relations between the PRC and their home countries. In addition, the research sheds light on the role of news agencies in shaping foreign policy and international relations, paving the way for later studies

    La fine del mondo nel ›De rerum natura‹ di Lucrezio

    No full text
    Lucretius’ De rerum natura can be considered as the first Latin “apocalyptic” poem and, at the same time, the most important source on Epicurean cosmic eschatology. This book examines Lucretius’ treatment of the mortality of the world, in order to identify the poet’s sources and polemical targets and to illustrate his eschatological imagery and rhetoric strategies
