Liver Stiffness Values to Predict Occurrence and Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
No full textGlobally, liver cancer is the third most frequent etiology of cancer death, with the rates of occurrence of both new cases and mortality estimated to increase. Given the availability of multiple treatments, interdisciplinary management of the patient is crucial. Moreover, the diagnostic assessment of patients with severe liver fibrosis is essential for the staging of HCC and liver cirrhosis and early diagnosis of HCC. In this context, non-invasive evaluation plays a critical role in identifying prognostic factors of clinical application for the surveillance of the occurrence or recurrence of HCC. The new frontiers of transient elastography have become a useful tool to assess the risk of HCC occurrence and recurrence. There has been a major increase in studies investigating the cutoff liver stiffness value that best predicts the need for monitoring for the onset of HCC. Therefore, this review discusses the new advances that have occurred in the last four years on HCC, highlighting the new frontiers of non-invasive evaluation of HCC subjects, with particular attention regarding the clinical application of liver stiffness assessment for de novo HCC and predicting recurrence in patients with chronic HCV achieving sustained virological response after treatment with direct antiviral agents

JUSTIÇA DE TRANSIÇÃO NA ALEMANHA: OS MECANISMOS ADOTADOS PELO ESTADO PÓS 1989
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Sócio-Econômico. Relações Internacionais.Este estudo situa-se no campo da justiça de transição, um tema que ganhou destaque no cenário internacional devido à onda de democratizações ocorrida no final do século XX. Ancorada pelo do método de estudo de caso, a pesquisa tem como objetivo observar a contribuição do papel educacional e de fortificação da confiança no Estado dos mecanismos de justiça de transição adotados pela Alemanha pós 1989 para a unificação e consolidação do novo Estado Democrático de Direito. Como objetivos específicos esta monografia procura: a) discorrer sobre o campo teórico da justiça de transição e seus mecanismos, bem como relatar a situação alemã no período de tempo em que viveu sob dois regimes político-ideológicos distintos; b) apresentar modelo de Justiça de Transição aplicado pelo Estado alemão pós comunismo a fim de reparar as violações de direitos humanos cometidas sob o regime do Partido Comunista Unificado; c) avaliar as consequências do modelo de justiça de transição elaborado pela Alemanha e verificar se seu papel educacional e de restauração da confiança foi cumprido de maneira satisfatória. Este trabalho tem por característica um pioneirismo e pretende contribuir teoricamente para as investigações dentro da temática da justiça de transição a partir da ótica das Relações Internacionais, ao lançar luz sobre a discussão a respeito dos mecanismos transicionais aplicados pela Alemanha no período pós-comunista

"A Stony Language: Zukofsky's Zadkine", in The Idea and The Thing in Modernist American Poetry (editor Cristina Giorcelli) - "Preface" to The Idea and The Thing in Modernist American Poetry (ed. Cristina Giorcelli).
No full textIn the "Preface" -- the editor and author of an essay-- Cristina Giorcelli explains how, thanks to Heidegger's, Schopenhauer's and Wittgenstein's categories, Modernist American poets gave visual, phonetic, and iconic relevance and, thus, "concreteness" to language in order, on the one hand, to avoid Romantic sentimentalism and Symbolic conventionalism, and, on the other, to enhance the word's semantics and polyhedrical value. The volume is eminently interdisciplinary in that poetry is studied in relation to: philosophy, the visual arts, history, and the world of classic myth. In her essay (pp.109-139) on "A Stony Language: Zukofsky's Zadkine," Cristina Giorcelli examines a long composition by the "objectivist" poet, Louis Zukofsky who -- at a crucial time in his highly innovative career -- wrote an ekphrasis centered on a sculpture by the Russian expatriate and political refugee in the United States, Ossip Zadkine, entitled "La Prisonniere." The poem has never been examined before. The essay is a close, learned analysis of the way in which Zadkine's sculpture -- with its distortions and reversals, its cleavages, and its spatial-dynamic relationship between mass and volume -- is rendered by Zukofsky's words, rhymes, rhythm, etymological and cross-linguistic puns, metonymies, anagrams, echoes, and mythological references. Furthermore, while this analysis traces Zadkine's tie to Vladimir Tatlin's aesthetics, it illustrates Zukofsky's bond to Apollinaire, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein, while also showing Zukofsky's extraordinary and long lasting originality and impact on contemporary poets (paramount among them, the so called L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Poets)

Altered neuro-endocrine-immune pathways in the irritable bowel syndrome: The top-down and the bottom-up model
No full textThe interaction between the brain and the gut as a pathological mechanism of functional gastrointestinal disorders has been recently recognized in the pathophysiology of the irritable bowel syndrome. Communication between central nervous system and enteric nervous system is two-directional: the brain can influence the function of the enteric nervous system and the gut can influence the brain via vagal and sympathetic afferents. In patients with irritable bowel syndrome, symptoms may be caused by alterations either primarily in the central nervous system (top-down model), or in the gut (bottom-up model), or in a combination of both. The brain-gut axis may be stimulated by various stressors either directed to the central nervous system (exteroreceptive stress) or to the gut (interoceptive stress). Particularly, clinical evidence suggest that in complex and multifactorial diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, psychological disorders represent significant factors in the pathogenesis and course of the syndrome. Neuroimaging techniques have shown functional differences between central process in healthy subjects and patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Moreover, a high prevalence of psychological/ psychiatric disorders have been reported in IBS patients compared to controls. Several data also suggest an alteration of neuro-endocrine and autonomic output to the periphery in these patients. This review will examine and discuss the complex interplay of neuro-endocrine-immune pathways, closely associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. © Springer 2012
