    Effects of urea on olfaction in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

    No full text
    Introduction Urea treatment in Danio rerio affects the expression or degradation of the G protein alpha subunit olfactory type (Gαolf), involved in olfactory transduction, causing an increased presence of this protein in the olfactory cilia (Ferrando et al, 2014; Bettini et al 2015). The effects of uremia on human olfactory functions have been evaluated in some clinical studies (Landis et al 2011). We here attempt to determine a specific action of urea, among all the uremic toxins, on the olfactory capability of a vertebrate.The OAT on CTRL showed a sudden burst of swimming. The U5m fishes showed a reaction to the stimuli similar to the CTRL. The U20m did not show an appreciable response to the stimuli. The unresponsiveness lasted during the 5 days of treatment. A recovery of 15 min. in clean water did not restore the responsiveness, while 1h was enough to show an appreciable response to the stimuli, still not equal to the CTRL. Although HIC is not quantitative, it was possible to observe that the Gαolf immunoreactivity (ir) was similar in the CTRL and in the U20m fishes, while it was more intense in the U5d and the U5dR1h adults.Urea altered the response to the OAT of D. rerio with a quite rapid and reversible effect. This effect is probably independent from a mere interference of urea on the receptor-ligand binding (Ferrando et al 2014). The Gαolf ir level after 5 days was higher than control and 5-20 min. This suggests that two different mechanisms would be involved in effect of urea on olfaction capability in the long and short term. Since in the rat striatum the activation of Gαolf cause its degradation (Hervé et al 2001) we speculate that in our experimental setting the Gαolf ir increase could depend by the lack of Gαolf activation after the receptor binding with odorant molecules or by an alteration of further post signal transduction cascade

    La censura imperfetta. La satira di Richard Aldington nell’Italia fascista

    No full text
    Through the epistolary dialogue between the British author Richard Aldington and his translator Alessandra Scalero, this article sheds some light on the editorial events that led to the publication of Women must work and All men are enemies, and to the rejection of Death of a Hero and The colonel’s daughter. Considered by Luigi Rusca – Mondadori’s codirector – “particularly important”, these books, as well as their author, are now largely forgotten, even if during the Thirties Italian readers were fascinated by Aldington’s biting satire. Exponent of British Imagism, Richard Aldington was closed to the Fabian Society’s vision of the world which pervaded all his works, built around the themes of women’s emancipation and social consequences of the First World War. The “heterodoxy” of such contents made the translation activity particularly complex; the author himself was not always available to soften the tone, accepting cuts and changes

    The ‘Rest Cure’ Revisited: Resisting the Neoliberal Myths of Individualism and Self-Betterment in Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018)

    No full text
    The aim of this presentation is to explore how My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018)––American author Ottessa Moshfegh’s most acclaimed novel––exposes and opposes, by thematically engaging with the outdated medical practice of the ‘rest cure’, the hyper-individualistic myths of self-betterment and wellness inherent to the US neoliberal context. A customary medical treatment during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the rest cure was primarily prescribed to women who were diagnosed with typically ‘female’ mental disorders, such as hysteria or neurasthenia; however, as American author Perkins Gilman already revealed in her semi-autobiographical short story The Yellow Wallpaper (1892), this cure was frequently detrimental to the patients who, instead of healing, generally manifested ulterior negative physical and psychological side-effects. Nowadays, the rest cure is considered an outdated medical treatment that (fortunately) no longer holds any value nor is prescribed. Yet, it is my intention to argue that, by revisiting the theme of the rest cure, Moshfegh’s novel not only questions quintessentially American myths of individualism, personal empowerment, and wellness, but it also engages with a specific American literary tradition of representation of female madness (thus, entering into dialogue with Perkins Gilman’s short story). Set in New York City in 2000 and 2001, My Year of Rest and Relaxation depicts the emotional spiral of an unnamed female narrator in her twenties who, hoping for recovery and physical/psychological rebirth, attempts to sleep for an entire year. Past feminist readings of fictional female madness (or, mental illness), typically rooted in psychoanalytical discourses, were usually oriented towards the criticism of patriarchalism (Gilbert & Gubar 1979). This presentation, however, whilst drawing from Foucault’s (1961) correlation between madness and power, intends to adopt a posthuman feminist perspective––a philosophical approach that, being materially grounded, insists on the embodied and embedded nature of subjectivities, as theorized by Braidotti (2022)––to shed light on the criticism to and the practices of resistance to these dominant American neoliberal myths as represented by the novel
