The Politics of the Dead in Zimbabwe, 2000-2020
Innovative and challenging study that provides fresh insights on the anthropology of death and postcolonial politics.In 1898, just before she was hanged for rebelling against colonial rule, Charwe Nyakasikana, spirit medium of the legendary ancestor Ambuya Nehanda, famously prophesised that "my bones will rise again". A century later bones, bodies and human remains have come to occupy an increasingly complex place in Zimbabwe''s postcolonial milieu. From ancestral "bones" rising again in the struggle for independence, and later land, to resurfacing bones of unsettled wardead; and from the troubling decaying remains of post-independence gukurahundi massacres to the leaky, tortured bodies of r...
Nutritional Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a combination of medical disorders that, when occurring together, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The prevalence of MS is rising in developing countries and developed countries, now considered a pandemic disease. This book presents information on how to treat MS through lifestyle change and nutritional intervention. Chapters cover prevalence of MS; pathophysiology; MS in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis; gene-nutrient interactions; MS in adolescents and children; lifestyle change and physical activity; and various effects of dietary components in MS.

Francesca
«Mi tratti come una ricca, stupida borghese. Adesso sei tu che costruisci barriere. Pensi forse che io me ne freghi di tutto e tutti? Sono nata in un mondo diverso dal tuo, e allora? Se fosse successo a te, cosa avresti fatto? Come puoi giudicare chi ha qualcosa che tu non hai, ma che vorresti avere? Hai forse il coraggio di affermare che a te questo mondo non piace?» Anni ‘80. Maurizio è un poliziotto, un bravo ragazzo dall’animo romantico, con una vita ordinaria. Francesca una studentessa universitaria, ricca, bellissima e misteriosa. Provengono da mondi completamente diversi, ma ciò non impedirà loro di vivere l’avventura più bella della loro vita. Un’attrazione magnetica, u...
VEGF Dose Controls the Coupling of Angiogenesis and Osteogenesis in Engineered Bone
Abstract: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) physiologically regulates both angiogenesis and osteogenesis, but its application in bone tissue engineering led to contradictory outcomes. A poorly understood aspect is how VEGF dose impacts the coordination between these two processes. Taking advantage of a unique and highly tunable platform, here we dissected the effects of VEGF dose over a 1,000-fold range in the context of tissue-engineered osteogenic grafts. We found that osteo-angiogenic coupling is exquisitely dependent on VEGF dose and that only a tightly defined dose range could stimulate both vascular invasion and osteogenic commitment of progenitors, with significant improvement in bone formation. Further, VEGF dose regulated Notch1 activation and the induction of a specific pro-osteogenic endothelial phenotype, independently of the promotion of vascular invasion. Therefore, in a therapeutic perspective, fine-tuning of VEGF dose in the signaling microenvironment is key to ensure physiological coupling of accelerated vascular invasion and improved bone formation
