No full textThe essay examines the Vita S. Rosaliae, a very rare collection of engravings taken from drawings by Antoon van Dyck, identified by the author and Maria Concetta Di Natale in the Sicily Foundation Library during preparatory research for the realisation of the exhibition 'The Ecstasies of Saint Rosalie - Antoon van Dyck, Pietro Novelli, Mattia Preti, Luca Giordano'
Il Lago di Porta e la sua avifauna
No full textIl Lago di Porta costituisce un residuo di zona umida appartenente all'antico complesso di laghi retrodunali e di paludi caratterizzanti un tempo la fascia costiera toscana. La presente tesi aggiorna le conoscenze sull'ornitofauna del Lago di Porta dandone un quadro della composizione specifica attraverso una check-list. Si ripropone inoltre di descrivere la distribuzione delle varie specie negli habitat presenti, la loro evoluzione temporale nonché il valore conservazionistico
La disponibilita` delle aspettative ereditarie
No full textIpotesi di validita` di atti ‘‘dispositivi’’ della futura eredita`.
L’interpretazione restrittiva del divieto di patti successori
dispositivi, porta a vedere con favore l’impegno del successibile
a trasferire «diritti che gli possono spettare su
una successione non ancora aperta», in quanto la promessa
di disporre non e` atto dispositivo in senso stretto.
In particolare, sara` valida la promessa di divisione, che e`
negozio distributivo col quale non si dispone, se non in
via mediata, su beni appartenenti al de cuius, ma solo si
prevedono le regole della futura divisione; analogamente
saranno valide le prelazioni e le opzioni pattuite fra
coeredi, prima dell’apertura della successione. In altri
termini, il divieto di patti successori dispositivi dovrebbe
riguardare esclusivamente le ipotesi di vendita obbligatoria,
oltreche` i negozi immediatamente traslativ
Natale ortodoso nelle note moderne di Ardalić
No full textU radu su (re)valorizirani zapisi o pravoslavnom Božiću u Bukovici, koje je Vladimir Ardalić objavio 1902. godine. Ti zapisi govore o Badnjaku, (sječi badnjaka, pripravi hrane za Božić, blagoslovu stoke, badnjoj večeri, modifi ciranim badnjacima, unošenju slame, badnjoj večeri); odlasku na jutrenju, Božiću; Mladencima; Malom Božiću; upotrebi svijeća; Krstovu danu; Bogojavljenju; vjerovanjima vezanim uz božićno razdoblje. Obredi i običaji koji su se odvijali od Badnjaka do Bogojavljenja navode se sukladno crkvenom kalendaru te redoslijedu kojim su se odvijali, a interpretiraju se u kontekstu
pravoslavnih božićnih običaja i obreda u drugim krajevima, a koji se nalaze u zapisima: Luke Ilića Oriovčanina, Vuka Stefanovića Karadžića, Milovana Gavazzia i suvremenim zapisima. Navodi se i biblijski kontekst tih obreda, običaja i vjerovanja, te uspoređuju
pravoslavni i katolički običaji. Velik je broj istovjetnih pravoslavnih i katoličkih obreda, običaja te narodnih vjerovanja. Zapisi Vladimira Ardalića o narodnom životu i običajima u Bukovici iznimno su i višestruko fi lološko, etnološko, antropološko i teološko bogatstvo. Zapisi o pravoslavnom Božiću Vladimira Ardalića i drugi starinski i suvremeni zapisi svjedoče o dubokoj ukorijenjenosti pravoslavnih vjernika u kršćansku slavensku i europsku civilizaciju. Zapisi
u monografiji „Bukovica, narodni život i običaji“ Vladimira Ardalića svjedoče trajne tradicijske vrednote.This paper (re)evaluates records of customs related to Orthodox Christmas in Bukovica, published by Vladimir Ardalić in 1902. These records describe Christmas Eve celebrations, (the Yule log harvesting, preparation of food for Christmas, the blessing of cattle Christmas Eve,, straw intake,) Chrismass morning, Christmas day, Newlyweds,;
Little Christmas; use of candles, cthe Day of Cross, Epiphany, and beliefs related to the Christmas period. The rites and customs that took place from Christmas Eve to Epiphany were recorded
followingthe church calendar, and in the order in which they took place. They were interpreted in the context of Orthodox Christmas traditions and rituals in other regions, which are found in the writings of Luka Oriovčanin Ilić, Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, Milovan
Gavazzi, and contemporary records. The author includes Biblical context of these rituals, traditions and beliefs, and compares the Orthodox and Catholic traditions. The number of identical Orthodox and Catholic rites, customs and folk beliefs is large. Vladimir Ardalić’s records of folk life and customs in Bukovica are exceptional and manyfold philological, ethnological, anthropological and theological tresure.. Ardalić’s account of customs related to the Orthodox Christmas , and other ancient and contemporary customs provide testimony to the deep rootednesst of the Orthodox Christians in the region the Christian Slavic and European civilization. The entries in the
monograph “Bukovica, folk life and customs” of Vladimir Ardalic also provide testimony to the permanent traditional values.Nel lavoro sono (ri)valorizzate le note di Natale ortodosso in Bukovica,
pubblicate da Vladimir Ardalić nel 1902. Queste note parlano della vigilia di Natale, preparazione del cibo per Natale, benedizione del bestiame, cena di Natale, la modifi ca di Natale, assunzione di paglia) preghiera del mattino, Natale; piccolo Natale, uso di candele, croci, Epifania; credenze relative al periodo natalizio. I riti e i costumi che si svolgavano dalla vigilia di Natale all’Epifania secondo il calendario della chiesa, e l’ordine in cui si sono svolte, sono interpretati nel contesto di ortodossi tradizioni di Natale e di riti in altre regioni, che si trovano nelle note: di Luca Ilić Oriovčanin, Vuk Stefanovic Karadžić, Milovan Gavazzi e nelle note contemporanee. Si afferma il contesto biblico di questi riti, rituali e credenze, e mette a confronto le
tradizioni ortodosse e le tradizioni cattoliche. C’è un numero enorme di identici riti ortodossi e cattolici, costumi e credenze popolari.
Le note di Vladimir Ardalić della vita popolare e dei costumi in Bukovica, in via eccezionale e in molti modi presentano: la ricchezza fi lologica, etnologica, antropologica e teologica. Le note di Natale ortodosso di Vladimir Ardalić, e di altri antichi e contemporanei
documenti testimoniano il profondo radicamento dei credenti ortodossi nella civiltà slavocristiana ed europea. Le note nella monografi a “Bukovica, vita e costumi popolari” di Vladimir Ardalić testimoniano dei valori permanente tradizionali

No full textThe attempt of spontaneous repair of rotator cuff tear: the role of periostin
No full textThe development of a periostin-rich microenvironment in areas associated with insult, orchestrating pathways of repair and rebuilding, is documented. Literature lacks information regarding the presence of periostin in the context of rotator cuff tear (RCT). 55 consecutive patients with RCT were enrolled. Immunohistochemical periostin detection was performed on tissue samples excised from tear margins. Our study documented the presence of periostin in the margins of RCT. It is plausible that, when a tear occurs, multiple stimuli, both mechanical and inflammatory, lead to the development of a periostin-rich microenvironment as an attempt to tendon healing
Nuclear lamin A in rotator cuff tear margin tenocytes: an antiapoptotic and cell mechanostat factor
No full textAbstract Background The network of intermediate filament proteins underlying the inner nuclear membrane forms the nuclear lamin. A- and B-type lamins are the major components of the nuclear lamina. Lamins function in many nuclear activities. The role of lamin A and transcription factors (NF-kB) as anti-apoptotic is well documented. Recently, lamin A has also been considered as a mechanosensor protein that is able to maintain nuclear integrity from mechanical insults. We aimed to verify how lamin A expression varies in healthy cuff cells and in those with different-sized tears where various mechanical stresses are present. Methods Forty-three patients with rotator cuff tear (RCT) [23M–20F, mean age (SD): 63.5 (6.1)] were enrolled. Tissue samples excised from the most medial point of tear margins were analyzed for lamin A expression by immunohistochemistry. Controls were represented by samples obtained by normal supraspinatus tendons excised from patients submitted to reverse shoulder prosthesis implant [8M–7F, mean age (SD): 67.9 (7.1)]. The intensity of staining was graded, and an H-score was assigned. Statistical analysis was performed. Results Our study revealed a moderate intensity of lamin A in the healthy cuff tendons, a higher expression of this protein in the small tears, and a significant decrease of lamin A with increasing tear size (p < 0.0001). Conclusions Our study emphasizes the importance of early repair of small RCTs since nuclear stability is maintained, and the cellular function is protected by lamin A overexpression. High re-tear of massive cuff repair could be due to cellular apoptosis and nuclear modifications induced by lamin A lack. Level of evidence II
A novel combination of triple metachronous malignancies of the kidney, oropharynx and prostate. A case report
No full textSynchronous or metachronous malignancies are a rare event, with an incidence rate that increases with age. The present study reports the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian male who was referred to the outpatient office of the Urology Unit, Sapienza University of Rome (Latina, Italy) due to lower urinary tract symptoms. An abdominal ultrasound investigation was performed that demonstrated the presence of a right renal mass. The patient underwent right radical nephrectomy, which resulted in the definitive diagnosis of clear cell type renal cell carcinoma. The patient was eventually diagnosed with triple primary metachronous cancer consisting of renal clear cell carcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (palatine tonsil). To the best of our knowledge, this combination of primary neoplasms has not previously been documented
Imaging, immunohistochemistry and ultrastructure of a primary vaginal leiomyosarcoma
No full textPrimary vaginal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are rare, recurrent tumours with an unknown etiology; the prognosis is poor and there is no consensus guideline on their management (1-2). Surgical resection is generally the gold standard. Due to their rarity there are few studies in the literature including immunohistochemistry and/or ultrastructure (2-4). Herein a primary vaginal LMS is analyzed. Magnetic Resonance Imaging identified a nodular mass in the anterior vaginal wall of a 58-year-old previously hysterectomized woman; it infiltrated the urethra but not the rectovaginal septum. Iliac lymph nodes were negative and a total body CT excluded the presence of distant metastasis. An anterior pelvic exenteration was performed with continent urostomy and creation of a neovagina. The biopsy showed a vaginal LMS that was positive for vimentin, α-smooth muscle actin, caldesmon, desmin, p16 and p53. The sample was fixed and prepared for light microscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The ultrastructural features showed hypercellularity, moderate mitotic index, nuclear pleomorphism, indented nuclear membrane, prominent nucleoli, absence of intercellular junction complexes, and a dense stroma. No dark, intermediate nor light cells could be recognized as reported (3), may be due to a highly undifferentiated and malignant tumor. After 2 years of surveillance follow-up, the patient is fine and without recurrence. According to the literature, there is still no consensus on the fact that this tumor arises de novo or as a malignant change from a leiomyoma (5-6). The patient had uterine leiomyomas and the vaginal hysterectomy might have seeded atypical cells in the vagina. However, routine uterine histology showed no atypical cells. In conclusion, best outcomes occur when the tumour is small, localized, and can be removed surgically with wide, clear margins, as in this case. As there are different kinds of malignant mesenchymal tumors, biopsy followed by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy still represents a good diagnostic choice. The question regarding the origin of vaginal LMS still remains open
