ABSTRACT This study examines the Early Medieval local population of Corte Romana (Cividale del Friuli, NE Italy) during period Langobard rule territory (6th–7th centuries ad ). We conducted anthropological and palaeopathological analyses 54 individuals from Romana, including 38 subadults 16 adults. Stable isotope (δ 13 C, δ 15 N, 34 S) were performed on 52 these to investigate their dietary patterns mobility. Palaeopathological data revealed presence various health stressors, particularly...
A close microanatomical relationship between serotonin-positive mast cells and nerve fibres positive for substance P, calcitonin gene related peptide, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, somatostatin has been observed in whole-mount preparations of rat mesentery by an immunofluorescent double-staining procedure. Peptidergic have shown either to run proximity or come direct contact with cells. This supports earlier morphological immunohistochemical results suggesting innervation provides a...
Low back pain (LBP) is common in athletes. LBP can be detrimental to athletic performance and health. Factors predisposing athletes remain elusive require further studies. We investigated whether carriage of a specific genotype and/or allele vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) FokI polymorphism (rs2228570) was risk factor for different sports disciplines. This genotype/phenotype association case-control study included 60 Italian (25 females 35 males; mean age 33.9 ± 13.3 years; body-mass-index...
Facial muscle activity is crucial to controlling musical performance in wind instrument playing. dysfunctions are common players, dramatically affecting their professional and potentially leading disabling symptoms.The aim of this pilot study on a cohort healthy clarinetists was use surface electromyography identify the facial patterns involved stabilizing mouthpiece, emission articulation during tasks physiological conditions, also comparing between less more experienced (students vs...
In developed countries, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women; one-third these deaths are directly or indirectly related to heart failure. Women already constitute majority failure patients and, given their longer life expectancy, proportion elderly women with likely increase further. These figures alone should make a medical research and public health priority. On contrary, they have received, continue receive, very little attention. Elderly been largely excluded...
According to current anatomical nomenclature, vascular anastomoses are direct connections between blood vessels. The Greek word ‘anastomōsis’ means ‘opening’ and conveys the idea of ‘patency’ rather than ‘connection’. Anastomōsis, related term sunanastomōsis, originally referred a mere approximation mouths adjacent vessels – especially arterioles venules facing each other at their terminal ends. These were not strictly connected did form units in proper sense. Over time, however, anastomōsis...
Abstract In the present investigation, we attempted to determine whether ultrastructural features indicative of a vesicle‐mediated mode cell secretion were detectable in chick chromaffin cells during embryo development. The adrenal anlagen domestic fowls examined at embryonic days (E) 12, 15, 19 and 21 by electron microscopy quantitative analysis. Morphometric evaluation revealed series granule cytoplasmic changes highly specific for piecemeal degranulation (PMD), secretory process based on...
