Stroke patients maintain benefits of robot therapy. (Reuters Health) - Stroke patients who have the most trouble walking may see lasting benefits from using machines that move their legs to simulate walking, say Italian researchers
No full textTheir study, although small, is one of the first to observe a benefit lasting at least two years in a group of stroke patients who used the machines, which are sometimes employed in conjunction with traditional physical therapy.
The new findings should help doctors target which stroke patients will benefit the most from the machines according to lead author Dr. Giovanni Morone, of the Santa Lucia Foundation in Rome.
"Robotic and electromechanical devices might play an important role, not for all patients, but for a selected kind of patients," said Morone in an email.
The new findings, published in the journal Stroke, are based on the same group of 48 patients the researchers reported on in September, in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, where they suggested stroke patients who were most severely affected by a stroke also gained the most from the machines after three months of therapy.
At the beginning of the study, each patient whose mobility was seriously compromised by a stroke started in the zero functional ambulation category (FAC). The FAC is a zero-to-five scale that ranks how much help a patient needs to walk. Patients with a zero score need the most help.
After the three months of therapy the patients who used the machine significantly improved and moved up the scale to four, which meant they were able to walk with some assistance.
Those who did not use the machine moved up the scale to two, which meant they still needed help with balance and coordination.
Two years later, the patients who used the machine continued to improve to a near perfect score. The patients who did not use the machine also improved, but only to a level that still needed supervision.
As for the group least affected by the stroke, they improved at about the same pace whether they used the machine or not.
Therapeutic walking machines, like the one used in the study, have been around for a few decades and were originally developed for patients with spinal cord injuries, according to Dr. Bruce Dobkin, director of the Neurologic Rehabilitation and Research Program at UCLA in California.
Typically, the machines support a patient's weight by placing them in a harness and a device similar to an elliptical trainer moves their legs.
According to Dobkin, who was not involved in the new study, the goal was to "instill the movement in the nerve," but after years of studies the patients using the machines did just as well as those who went through traditional physical therapy.
"It turned out they were equivalent and the strategy to ingrain more activity just wasn't working," said Dobkin.
Dobkin said there are only a few hundred of these machines in use around the world and that they're still seen as inefficient. These results are likely not going to change that.
The new findings are from a small group, Dobkin added, and it would be hard to apply the results to a larger population.
However, he said the machines may be more useful someday if other medical advances that stimulate nerves are developed.
"They may be part of a future solution," said Dobkin. "But they are only part of it.

Morone e Pio IV
No full textIl saggio mette in luce i rapporti tra il cardinale Giovanni Morone e il papa Pio IV (1560-1565), entrambi milanesi, per ricostruire una breve stagione nella storia della Chiesa di disponibilità alla mediazione vissuta agli inizi degli anni ’60. Il saggio si sofferma sulla politica europea di Pio IV (nella quale Morone fu coinvolto come grande diplomatico e presidente del concilio di Trento) che prevedeva la concessione del calice ai laici e del matrimonio dei preti alla Germania. Le concessioni di Pio IV, oggetto di una vera e propria rimozione storiografica da parte degli storici successivi (tra i quali Hubert Jedin), dovevano porre le premesse per un’alleanza con la corte imperiale in funzione antispagnola ma si scontrarono con la durissima opposizione di Filippo II e della sua diplomazia, dei gesuiti e del Sant’Ufficio pronti a equiparare la violazione dei riti e della disciplina ecclesiastica all’eresia. In questo modo le concessioni rischiavano di ritorcersi non solo contro il Morone incaricato dal papa di condurre le trattative con l’imperatore, ma contro lo stesso pontefice, delegittimandolo.
The article is focused on the relationship between cardinal Giovanni Morone and pope Pio IV (1560-1565) and on a short period in the history of the church in the early sixties of the Sixteenth century when a compromising politics was promoted by the pope and a small group of cardinals. Pius IV was inclined to determine or to modify the rites (i.e. the concession of the communion sub utraque specie and the marriage of priests) according to the requests of secular rulers. Nevertheless, the catholic party was far from being united: the compromising politics of the pope was in fact strongly fought by the Roman Inquisition as well as by the king of Spain. The intolerant party inside the catholic Church participated in the debate on the ecclesiastical discipline and rites and challenged the right of the pope to intervene. Pius IV’s death and the strengthening of the confessionalization process of the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation definitively put an end to the issue. Proposing to examine a neglected European debate regarding the ecclesiastical discipline and rites, the article aims to suggest a new approach to the historiographical discussion on religious (in)tolerance

The Effect of Rating Agencies on Herd Behaviour
Full text linkThis paper purports to provide some evidence on the effect of rating agencies on herding in financial markets. By means of a laboratory experiment, we investigate the effect and interaction between private and public information. Previous experiments showed that lemmings behaviour can survive in a market context where information is private (Hey and Morone, 2004), and that an experimental market can be very volatile and not efficient in transmitting information (Alfarano et al., 2006). We study experimentally, if socially undesirable behaviour – that survives in a market contest – may be eliminated owing to the presence of rating agencies
Il controllo dello straniero. I "campi" dall'Ottocento ad oggi
No full textI fatti del nostro tempo ci hanno assuefatto all’emergenza e i campi di detenzione ne sono la prova. Predisposti in un contesto di necessità e di urgenza, presentati come dispositivi temporanei, nell’assenza di politiche virtuose di controllo degli stranieri, hanno finito col trasformarsi in luoghi/non-luoghi di margine e dis-integrazione morale, deformazioni permanenti dell’equilibrio politico, giuridico e sociale di un ordinamento.
Il volume raccoglie contributi di diversi profili disciplinari, dalla storia del diritto e dell’Africa alla filosofia, all’antropologia, nello scopo condiviso di tracciare una storia del campo, individuarne peculiarità e limiti, e immaginarne un futuro, mantenendo il focus sull’Europa, sull’Italia, sul Mediterraneo e l’area maghrebina, e sulla Libia, in particolare
Courtship and Tank Spawning Behavior of Temperate Basses ( Genus Morone ).
Full text linkSpecial arenas were used to observe and describe courtship and spawning behavior of captive striped bass Morone saxatilis, white bass Morone chrysops, and white perch Morone americana. To induce final gonadal maturation and spawning, fish were either implanted with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog, injected with human chorionic gonadotropin, or both. Behaviors were videotaped and systematically quantified. Broodfish displayed courtship behavior for at least 5 h before spawning, characterized by one female and from one to five males releasing gametes at the water surface. Spawning lasted about 10 s for striped bass, 5 s for white bass, and less than 1 s for white perch. The best predictor of imminent spawning was a significant increase in male attending behavior, defined as extremely close and continuous following of the female, sometimes contacting her abdominal or vent area with the snout. Around the time of spawning, male striped bass attended females less intensely than did white bass or white perch. Just before and during spawning, male white perch and white bass displayed a stereotypical circling behavior whereas male striped bass did not. In volitional hybridization trials, white perch and white bass hybridized with one another, but striped bass and white bass did not. Electro-olfactogram recordings from juveniles of all three Morone species did not reveal sensitivity to any known teleost steroid or prostaglandin pheromone
Knowledge Diffusion and Innovation: Modelling Complex Entrepreneurial Behaviours by Piergiuseppe Morone and Richard Taylor: A Response to the Review
No full textIn this brief note we reply to César García-Díaz and Diemo Urbig who reviewed our book on Knowledge Diffusion and Innovation (Edward Elgar Publishing: Cheltenham, 2010). We take this opportunity to reaffirm our personal view on several relevant issues, such as the need for a holistic view in economics, the adoption of a pragmatic heuristic approach when dealing with complex socio-economic systems, the relevance of a 'prototype model' to setting a rigorous conceptual framework and the proposition of a novel way of looking at knowledge and innovation
