    Doping e salute

    Il prodotto muove dalla riflessione sul concetto di centralità e di unitarietà della persona, come principio pedagogico ispiratore della costruzione dei Piani di studio personalizzati. Evidenzia come l’educazione alla Convivenza civile, anche nella dimensione dell’educazione alla salute per la prevenzione del disagio sia espressiva della necessità, per essere concretizzata, della attuazione del principio di sussidiarietà verticale e orizzontale introdotto dalla modifica del Titolo V della Costituzione. Sottolinea le responsabilità di istituzioni scolastiche, famiglia ed extrascuola di fronte al disagio giovanile, di cui l’uso e abuso di sostanze anche in giovane età non è che un aspetto

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    The hot IVGTT two-compartment minimal model : indexes of glucose effectiveness and insulin sensitivity

    A two-compartment minimal model (2CMM) has been proposed [A. Caumo and C. Cobelli. Am. J. Physiol. 264 (Endocrinol. Metab. 27): E829-E841, 1993] to describe intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) labeled (hereafter hot) glucose kinetics. This model, at variance with the one-compartment minimal model (1CMM), allows the estimation of a plausible profile of glucose production. The aim of this study is to show that the 2CMM also allows the assessment of insulin sensitivity (SI2*), glucose effectiveness (SG2*), and plasma clearance rate (PCR). The 2CMM was identified on stable-isotope IVGTTs performed in normal subjects (n = 14). Results were (means +/- SE) SG2* = 0.85 +/- 0.14 ml.kg-1.min-1, PCR = 2.02 +/- 0.14 ml.kg-1.min-1, and SI2* = 13.83 +/- 2.54 x 10(-2) ml.kg-1.min-1.microU-1.ml. The 1CMM was also identified; glucose effectiveness and insulin sensitivity indexes were SG*V = 1.36 +/- 0.08 ml.kg-1.min-1 and SI*V = 12.98 +/- 2.21 x 10(-2) ml.kg-1.min-1.microU-1.ml, respectively, where V is the 1CMM glucose distribution volume. SG*V was lower than PCR and higher than SG2* and did not correlate with either [r = 0.45 (NS) and r = 0.50 (NS), respectively], whereas SI*V was not different from and was correlated with SI2* (r = 0.95; P < 0.001). SG* compares well (r = 0.78; P < 0.001) with PCR normalized by the 2CMM total glucose distribution volume. In conclusion, the 2CMM is a powerful tool to assess glucose metabolism in vivo
