SUBCLINICAL CONGESTION from physical examination to prognosis: translating a mechanical model into an ultrasound approach
No full textBackground: subclinical pulmonary and peripheral congestion is an emerging concept in heart failure, correlated with a worse prognosis. Very few studies have evaluated its prognostic impact in an outpatient setting and its relationship with right-ventricular dysfunction. The study aims to investigate subclinical congestion in chronic heart failure outpatients, exploring the close relationship between the right heart-pulmonary unit and peripheral congestion. Materials and methods: in this observational study, 104 chronic HF outpatients were enrolled. The degree of congestion and signs of elevated filling pressures of the right ventricle were evaluated by physical examination and a transthoracic ultrasound to define multiparametric right ventricular dysfunction, estimate the right atrial pressure and the pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Outcome data were obtained by scheduled visits and phone calls. Results: ultrasound signs of congestion were found in 26% of patients and, among this cohort, half of them presented as subclinical, affecting their prognosis, revealing a linear correlation between right ventricular/arterial coupling, the right-chambers size and ultrasound congestion. Right ventricular dysfunction, TAPSE/PAPS ratio, clinical and ultrasound signs of congestion have been confirmed to be useful predictors of outcome. Conclusions: subclinical congestion is widespread in the heart failure outpatient population, significantly affecting prognosis, especially when right ventricular dysfunction also occurs, suggesting a strict correlation between the heart-pulmonary unit and volume overload
Vital Spaces and Living Spaces in Contemporary Archival Practice
No full textThis paper explores the different meanings of ‘space’ that emerged in the context of the humanities’ ‘archival turn’. The changing nature of the archival spaces due to the advent of the digital age is analysed. This study also focused on how the different ‘spaces’ of the archives relate to ‘time’ and the power of control over information, and reflects on which spaces are ‘vital’ for an archive in the contemporary world. Eventually, the role of ‘outside/living’ spaces in critically questioning the archive as a knowledge production system will be traced through the case of the repatriation of sound recordings in ethnomusicology

Un cane a guardia delle Erbucce: le metamorfosi di un poeta
No full textNell'ambito delle fasi preparatorie di Myricae la poesia Il cane (1886 ca.) denota la forte attenzione di Pascoli rivolta ai significati simbolici di questa figura animale. Il saggio si propone, attraverso l'analisi delle carte autografe pascoliane, di documentare lo sviluppo nel tempo, sino alla destinazione finale nel libro di poesia, di questa immagine, che rappresenta la controfigura stessa del poeta e il suo rifiuto di una poesia alta e retorica
Multiplicity results for magnetic fractional problems
No full textThe paper deals with the existence of multiple solutions for a boundary value problem driven by the magnetic fractional Laplacian. We prove that the problem admits at least two nontrivial weak solutions under two different sets of conditions on the nonlinear term f which are dual in a suitable sense
Resonant diphoton phenomenology simplified
No full textA framework is proposed to describe resonant diphoton phenomenology at hadron colliders in full generality. It can be employed for a comprehensive model-independent interpretation of the experimental data. Within the general framework, few benchmark scenarios are defined as representative of the various phenomenological options and/or of motivated new physics scenarios. Their usage is illustrated by performing a characterization of the 750 GeV excess, based on a recast of available experimental results.
We also perform an assessment of which properties of the resonance could be inferred, after discovery, by a careful experimental study of the diphoton distributions. These include the spin J of the new particle and its dominant production mode. Partial information on its CP-parity can also be obtained, but only for J ≥ 2. The complete determination of the resonance CP properties requires studying the pattern of the initial state radiation that accompanies the resonant diphoton production
