Umiliati e obesi
No full textL’autore analizza come l’obesità, oggi al centro di un allarme planetario lanciato da agenzie internazionali come OMS e FAO, metta in gioco la categoria stessa di grasso e sovrappeso, nonché di corpo ideale. Attraverso una genealogia storico-antropologica del lessico e del campo semantico riferiti all’obesità, Niola mostra come si stia progressivamente sviluppando e rafforzando una sorta di obesofobia collettiva, che tende a sottovalutare le ragioni economico-sociali che sono alla base della malnutrizione per eccesso e dell’aumento dell’obesità in Occidente. Trasformando il sovrappeso in una colpa individuale, nell’esito di una intemperanza bulimica che viene sempre più spesso stigmatizzata eticamente e sanzionata pecuniariamente. Con il risultato che il sovrappeso sta diventando uno stigma etnico-sociale e il disprezzo degli obesi una nuova frontiera del razzismo contemporaneo.Obesity is at the center of planetary attention warned by international agencies such as OMS and FAO. The author analyzes how it compromises the categories of fat and overweight subjects, as well as the ideal body. Thanks to the historical-anthropological genealogy of the lexicon and the semantic field referring to obesity, Niola shows how a collective obesophobia is progressively developing and strengthening. This is going to underestimate the socio-economic reasons that cause excessive malnutrition and increase in obesity in the West. It transforms the fact of being overweight into guilt. “Being overweight” is looked as the result of a bulimic intemperance that is always more stigmatized by ethics and sanctioned by finance. The result is that to be overweight is becoming a socio-ethnic stigma and the contempt for the obese is becoming a new frontier of the contemporary racism

Cibo, corporeità e spiritualità in Sante Impossibili di Michèle Roberts: la visione sovversiva del sacro pasto
No full textThis paper takes into consideration the interconnections between, food, sexuality and spirituality which constitute the core of Michèle Roberts's novel Impossible Saints. We shall be focusing on the process of cannibalization of women's bodies, considering the term both in a metaphorical and in a literal sense with relation to the stories told in the novel.
We shall examine the relationship between Roberts's "new" saints and food and the desecratory, macabre representations that the author offers of the sacred meal
SIRT1, miR-132 and miR-212 link human longevity to Alzheimer\u27s Disease
No full text\ua9 2018 The Author(s). Alzheimer\u27s Disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. Centenarians - reaching the age of >100 years while maintaining good cognitive skills - seemingly have unique biological features allowing healthy aging and protection from dementia. Here, we studied the expression of SIRT1 along with miR-132 and miR-212, two microRNAs known to regulate SIRT1, in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from 45 healthy donors aged 21 to 105 years and 24 AD patients, and in postmortem olfactory bulb and hippocampus tissues from 14 AD patients and 20 age-matched non-demented individuals. We observed 4.0-fold (P = 0.001) lower expression of SIRT1, and correspondingly higher expression of miR-132 (1.7-fold; P = 0.014) and miR-212 (2.1-fold; P = 0.036), in LCLs from AD patients compared with age-matched healthy controls. Additionally, SIRT1 expression was 2.2-fold (P = 0.001) higher in centenarian LCLs compared with LCLs from individuals aged 56-82 years; while centenarian LCLs miR-132 and miR-212 indicated 7.6-fold and 4.1-fold lower expression, respectively. Correlations of SIRT1, miR-132 and miR-212 expression with cognitive scores were observed for AD patient-derived LCLs and postmortem AD olfactory bulb and hippocampus tissues, suggesting that higher SIRT1 expression, possibly mediated by lower miR-132 and miR-212, may protect aged individuals from dementia and is reflected in their peripheral tissues
Transcriptomic sex differences in early human fetal brain development
No full text\ua9 The Author(s) 2025.The influence of sex chromosomes and sex hormones on early human brain development is poorly understood. We therefore undertook transcriptomic analysis of 46,XY and 46,XX human brain cortex samples (n = 64) at four different time points between 7.5 and 17 weeks post conception (wpc), in two independent studies. This developmental period encompasses the onset of testicular testosterone secretion in the 46,XY fetus (8wpc). We show differences in sex chromosome gene expression including X-inactivation genes (XIST, TSIX) in 46,XX samples; core Y chromosome genes (n = 18) in 46,XY samples; and two Y chromosome brain specific genes, PCDH11Y and RP11-424G14.1. PCDH11Y (protocadherin11 Y-linked) regulates excitatory neurons; this gene is unique to humans and is implicated in language development. RP11-424G14.1 is a long non-coding RNA. Fewer differences in sex hormone pathway-related genes are seen. The androgen receptor (AR, NR3C4) shows cortex expression in both sexes, which decreases with age. Global cortical sex hormone effects are not seen, but more localized AR mechanisms may be important with time (e.g., hypothalamus). Taken together, our data suggest that limited but potentially important sex differences occur during early human fetal brain development. (Figure presented.
Percutaneous management of bone metastases: state of the art, interventional strategies and joint position statement of the Italian College of MSK Radiology (ICoMSKR) and the Italian College of Interventional Radiology (ICIR)
No full textInterventional radiology provides local management of bone metastases (BM) with a palliative intent in most cases, or with a curative intent in selected patients. Its role has rapidly expanded in the last decade, offering new treatment solutions often in combination with surgery, radiation therapy and medical treatments. The aim of the present paper is to increase awareness, acceptance and adoption of interventional radiology procedures for the treatment of BM; and to present the joint position of the Italian College of Musculoskeletal Radiology and the Italian College of Interventional Radiology
Translation of dialect and cultural transfer : an analysis of Eduardo De Filippo’s theatre
No full textThe thesis sets out to examine cultural transfer from Neapolitan dialect into English, in the
translations of plays by the contemporary Neapolitan playwright Eduardo De Filippo
(1900-1984). It involves a comparative textual analysis of English translations of a
selection of De Filippo’s plays in order to identify the translation strategies employed by
each translator to represent Neapolitan cultural identity. Eduardo De Filippo can be defined
as one of the most prominent contemporary Italian playwrights who employed dialect to
portray characters who trespassed the boundaries of both Neapolitan and Italian society and
to address social issues which were comprehensible to a vast public. In fact, his innovative
contribution resided in the ability to bring vernacular theatre to national and international
level. Thus the objective of the study is to bring to light the universality of De Filippo’s
message albeit the limited linguistic medium and to show how his theatre is represented in
the Anglo-Saxon milieu. The aim of previous critical studies on the matter has been to
focus on the stage representations of De Filippo’s oeuvres, without particular emphasis on
the analysis of the dialect. Drawing on a variety of theatre as well as translational
frameworks (critical work on translation and in particular on theatre translation, the
polysystem theory, the descriptive approach, anthropology, and sociolinguistics) I argue
that dialect theatre represents an autonomous genre, separate from standard Italian theatre,
which needs to be accounted for in translation, and in particular that the domestication of
the language reduces the cultural impact of the original plays. The thesis is the first study to
suggest that lexicological issues reflect the interpretation of the Neapolitan society in the
translated texts and to provide evidence of the appropriation of Neapolitan culture by the
receiving theatrical system through the linguistic choices made in translation
