Il testo ricostruisce le fasi storiche più salienti di Torraca, paese del Cilento, arroccato nell’entroterra del Golfo di Policastro. L’analisi percorre un arco temporale che va dai primi insediamenti umani, fino alla storia più recente. L’autore si sofferma in particolare: nella breve “Repubblica Partenopea”, nell’occupazione francese, nei moti del 1828 e del 1848, per concludere nella sfortunata impresa del Carlo Pisacane. Il testo, inoltre, pone uno sguardo ai giorni nostri ed ai progressi che Torraca ha raggiunto in campo sociale e tecnologico, grazie al coraggioso impegno del giovane sindaco Daniele Filizzola con la sua “prima led city al mondo”.
The endometrium has been the subject of intense research in a variety of clinical settings, because of its importance in the reproductive process and its role in women’s health. In the past 15 years, significant efforts have been invested in defining the molecular phenotype of the receptive phase endometrium as well as of various endometrial pathologies. Although this has generated a wealth of information on the molecular landscape of human endometrium, there is a need to complement this information in light of the novel methodologies and innovative technical approaches. The focus of this International Journal of Molecular Sciences Special Issue is on molecular and cellular mechanisms of endometrium and endometrium-related disorders. The progress made in the molecular actions of steroids, in the metabolism of steroids and intracrinology, in endometrial intracellular pathways, in stem cells biology, as well as in the molecular alterations underlying endometrium-related pathologies has been the focus of the reviews and papers included.]
How does the genome, interacting with the multi-faceted environment, translate into the development by which the human brain achieves its astonishing, adaptive array of cognitive and behavioral capacities? Why and how does this process sometimes lead to neurodevelopmental disorders with a major, lifelong personal and social impact? This volume of Progress in Brain Research links findings on the structural development of the human brain, the expression of genes in behavioral and cognitive phenotypes, environmental effects on brain development, and developmental processes in perception, action, attention, cognitive control, social cognition, and language, in an attempt to answer these questions. Leading authors review the state-of-the-art in their field of investigation and provide their views and perspectives for future research Chapters are extensively referenced to provide readers with a comprehensive list of resources on the topics covered All chapters include comprehensive background information and are written in a clear form that is also accessible to the non-specialist
Presentazione di Umberto Longo Introduzione di Francesco Sportelli Ben pochi santi possono vantare in Occidente una fama come quella raggiunta da san Rocco sul finire del Medioevo. Di Rocco da Montpellier si è privilegiata la dimensione taumaturgica, con una crescente attenzione alla fama dei miracoli, che in tempi di necessità è servita da collante cultuale tra i fedeli ed il Santo stesso: come nel caso delle pestilenze nel Regno di Napoli tra il XVI e il XVII secolo, alla base della straordinaria diffusione della devozione del Santo francese nel Mezzogiorno peninsulare italiano. Questa parte del suolo italico rappresenta l’ambito territoriale con la maggiore presenza di altari patrona...
In questo libro vengono riportati i principali rischi lavorativi a cui sono sottoposti i lavoratori negli ambienti di lavoro e come evitarli. Complessivamente sono stati investigati undici diversi fattori di rischio per la salute, otto dei quali riguardano rischi di natura fisica (polveri, gas, esalazioni, fumi, sostanze chimiche, rumori eccessivi o vibrazioni, posizioni dolorose o stancanti, movimenti ripetitivi della mano o del braccio, altri movimenti che si ripercuotono sulla salute, sollevamenti di carichi pesanti o movimentazione, attività che richiedono forte concentrazione visiva, rischio infortunio) e tre tipi di rischio psicologico (tempistiche di lavoro pressanti o carico di lavoro eccessivo, fenomeni di prepotenza o vessazioni, minacce o violenze fisiche)
Both thyroid dysfunction and heart failure show a high prevalence in the adult population. Frequently, in clinical practice, a multidisciplinary approach is useful to optimize the management of patients with these conditions. Although there is no doubt regarding the close link between cardiovascular pathophysiology and thyroid homeostasis, our understanding of this association is far from being exhaustive. Thyroid hormone regulates the expression of cardiac-specific functional contractile and structural proteins and plays a pivotal role in modulating both diastolic and systolic function as well as peripheral vascular resistance. The close relationship between thyroid and heart dysfunction is...
In recent years, several scientific papers have highlighted the role of the thyroid system in cardioprotection, and several clinical studies – including multicenter studies – have identified the role of thyroid hormones (TH) in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, making an update of TH and heart relationship both necessary and timely. This second edition of Thyroid and Heart failure provides a careful and updated review of the experimental, clinical and epidemiological results in the field of TH and heart failure, with a particular focus on the translational - bench to bedside - significance of the obtained results. It discusses topics such as the molecular, struct...
