The Jews in Sicily, Volume 16 Notaries of Trapani (end), Erice (Monte San Giuliano), Mazara, Termini Imerese, Corleone and Sciacca
This volume of the Documentary History of the Jews in Italy is the eighth of the second series, illustrating the history of the Jews in Sicily based on notarial and court records. It is the sequel to the eight volumes of the first series. Notarial deeds drawn up by public notaries in Palermo and elsewhere and cases brought before the Pretorian Court in Palermo present a kaleidoscopic picture of the private lives of the Jews of Sicily during the last three centuries of their presence on the island. They illustrate the economic, social and religious history of the Jewish minority and the relations with the Christian majority. Much information is provided on trade and commerce, crafts and profe...
Ocular Pharmacology: Recent Breakthroughs and Unmet Needs
The research on ocular pharmacology has increased significantly, over the past decade. More recently, the discovery and approval of eye disease modifying treatments is considered an unbelievable scientific breakthrough. Anti-VEGF molecules, cell therapy and gene therapy for age-related retinal degeneration, autologous corneal cells replacement, and Leber’s congenital amaurosis to name a few as some impressive examples. New drugs have been recently introduced for the treatment of glaucoma focusing on new pharmacological targets, such as Rho kinase inhibitors. For example, such novel treatments have been approved for optic neuromyelitis spectrum disorders. Regarding diseases of the front of ...
Psychobiology of Stress
From a historical point of view the first studies on the response of the organism to stressful situations in general, and on the psychobiology of stress in particular, are probably those of Cannon and de la Paz, the physiologists who showed in 1911 that the adrenal medulla and the sympathetic system are involved in emergency situations. Cannon noted that the venous blood of cats frightened by barking dogs contained adrenaline, a response of the organism which was prevented by adrenalectomy or by section of the splanchnic nerve innervating the adrenal medulla. Cannon suggested that the adrenal medulla was acting in concert with the sympathetic nervous system, so that both systems were activat...
Medicinal Cannabis: Evolution of Therapeutic Use, Future Approaches and Other Implications, Volume II
This Research Topic is the second volume of its kind. Please see the publications of the first collection here. Cannabis has been used in even the oldest traditional medicines available. In the last century, somewhat negative attention has prevailed when it comes to the psychotropic and addictive effects and abuse potential; for this reason Cannabis has been banned and is illegal in many countries. In recent years, however, there has been a more in-depth evaluation of the legalization of cannabinoids for medical use in several countries following heightened media attention and reports of effectiveness, although not always thoroughly backed up by scientific evidence. In fact, up to now the re...

From Natural Polyphenols to Synthetic Bioactive Analogues
This Special Issue is focused on natural polyphenols and their synthetic bioactive analogues. It is composed of one review on aza- and azo-stilbenes as bioisosteric analogs of the stilbenoid resveratrol and four original articles, including studies on synthetic (bisphenol neolignans inspired by honokiol, multicomponent synthesis of polyphenols), and natural polyphenols (polyphenols from Tamarix ramosissima and Melanoleuca styphelioides) as antiproliferative, anti-Alzheimer’s, antioxidant, antimicrobial, or anti-inflammatory agents.
