    Un viaggiatore tra i viaggiatori. Ulisse Aldrovandi e altre testimonianze di viaggio in mostra alla Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna

    No full text
    Il contributo illustra e approfondisce la sezione dedicata a Ulisse Aldrovandi all’interno della mostra Il patrimonio culturale di Bologna allo specchio dei viaggiatori europei. Esplorazioni tra la prima modernità e l’era contemporanea (22 gennaio 2022 – 18 marzo 2022), tenutasi presso la Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna e consultabile online. La mostra, inserita all’interno di un progetto internazionale di valorizzazione di fondi di biblioteche europee, ha contribuito alla riflessione sul ruolo che la letteratura di viaggio ha avuto nella formazione scientifica e personale del naturalista. In seguito a una preliminare panoramica sulle opere di viaggio appartenute a Ulisse Aldrovandi e oggi conservate alla Biblioteca Universitaria, saranno presentati gli esemplari scelti per la mostra, mettendone in evidenza le peculiarità, gli aspetti significativi e la metodologia di studio utilizzata da Aldrovandi

    No full text
    Bianca Garavelli (Vigevano, 1958-2021) was a highly regarded figure in the literary world, both on the critical and creative side. Author of important critical studies on Dante and of a successful commentary on the Commediam (begun under the supervision of Maria Corti but then continued independently), as well as critic and reviewer for newspapers and periodicals, Garavelli also wrote and published poems, novels and short stories. This article offers an exhaustive bio-bibliographical profile of Bianca Garavelli, whose literary work in various fields is reconstructed and critically examined

    A combined intervention for executive deficits and anxiety in Parkinson's patients: a case study

    No full text
    Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder most commonly associated with motor symptomatology, yet often presenting with deficits in attention, executive functioning (EF; e.g., planning, mental flexibility, complex attention), anxiety, and depression, with debilitating effects on patients’ quality of life. Current interventions, including pharmacological and surgical methods show efficacy in motor symptom management, yet produce equivocal results in addressing non-motor dysfunction. The goal of this paper was to describe and investigate the efficacy and patient acceptance of a nonpharmacological intervention for treatment of executive dysfunction (ED) and anxiety in PD, in the context of a case study (the case of Mr. K). Brain and Mind Fitness Program (BMFP) is a short-term intervention, consisting of a combination of cognitive remediation and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). BMFP was demonstrated to be fully acceptable to Mr. K, based on ratings of 4 feasibility dimensions (fatigue, effort, progress, and enjoyment). The program also proved to be efficacious in alleviating Mr. K’s anxiety and depression symptoms, with benefits extending over the treatment period. BMFP, elsewhere shown to be an effective cognitive re-training of EF in PD patients, exhibited limited gains in the case of Mr. K., possibly due to his relatively intact cognitive abilities at baseline. Despite its limitations, the case of Mr. K presents a novel approach to treatment of PD non-motor symptoms and a learning opportunity for researchers and clinicians interested in expanding their knowledge across disciplines.Psy.

    BIANCA (Brain Intensity AbNormality Classification Algorithm): a new tool for automated segmentation of white matter hyperintensities

    Reliable quantification of white matter hyperintensities of presumed vascular origin (WMHs) is increasingly needed, given the presence of these MRI findings in patients with several neurological and vascular disorders, as well as in elderly healthy subjects. We present BIANCA (Brain Intensity AbNormality Classification Algorithm), a fully automated, supervised method for WMH detection, based on the k-nearest neighbour (k-NN) algorithm. Relative to previous k-NN based segmentation methods, BIANCA offers different options for weighting the spatial information, local spatial intensity averaging, and different options for the choice of the number and location of the training points. BIANCA is multimodal and highly flexible so that the user can adapt the tool to their protocol and specific needs. We optimised and validated BIANCA on two datasets with different MRI protocols and patient populations (a “predominantly neurodegenerative” and a “predominantly vascular” cohort). BIANCA was first optimised on a subset of images for each dataset in terms of overlap and volumetric agreement with a manually segmented WMH mask. The correlation between the volumes extracted with BIANCA (using the optimised set of options), the volumes extracted from the manual masks and visual ratings showed that BIANCA is a valid alternative to manual segmentation. The optimised set of options was then applied to the whole cohorts and the resulting WMH volume estimates showed good correlations with visual ratings and with age. Finally, we performed a reproducibility test, to evaluate the robustness of BIANCA, and compared BIANCA performance against existing methods. Our findings suggest that BIANCA, which will be freely available as part of the FSL package, is a reliable method for automated WMH segmentation in large cross-sectional cohort studies. © 2016 The Author
