Background: Radon and its decay products are the main source of natural ionizing radiation they represent major contributor to internal dose human life. The aim this study was assess a potential relationship between indoor radon exposure incidence lung cancer worldwide.Methods: A systematic literature search carried out in PubMed, Web Science, Google Scholar identify relevant studies published English conducted last 15 years until January 2016. Summary relative risks (RR) corresponding 95%...
Candida parapsilosis is increasingly responsible for invasive candidiasis in neonates. This study investigates phenotypic and genotypic features of C. microbial isolates underlying clinical conditions associated with acquisition a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) Italy.Identification was performed by VITEK® 2 MALDI TOF confirmed analysis internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA sequences. Genotyping PCR fingerprinting. Antifungal susceptibility strains evaluated microdilution. A...
Background: The Caserta and Naples areas in Campania Region experience heavy environmental contamination due to illegal waste disposal burns, thus representing a valuable setting develop general model of human with dioxins (PCDDs-PCDFs) dioxin-like-PCBs (dl-PCBs). Methods: 94 breastfeeding women (aged 19–32 years; mean age 27.9 ± 3.0) were recruited determine concentrations PCDDs-PCDFs dl-PCBs their milk. Individual milk samples collected analyzed according standard international procedures....
A structural and theoretical analysis of some mesogenic bis(phenylene)azines containing a methyl group on the azine system strong electron donor–acceptor groups phenylene rings is reported. Starting from X-ray molecular structures with support semiempirical quantum mechanical calculations, conformational properties azines are analysed compared recent literature data similar acetophenone azines. Some geometrical electronic molecules also calculated discussed in paper, which may be useful for...
The aim of this study was to assess a potential relationship between indoor radon exposure and the incidence lung cancer worldwide. A systematic literature search carried out in PubMed, Web Science, Google Scholar identify relevant studies published English conducted last 15 years until January 2016. Summary relative risks (RR) corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects model influence moderators mixed-effects model. Heterogeneity assessed Q, I 2 H...
Abstract Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria ( PNH ) is a haematopoietic disorder characterized by expansion of phosphatidylinositol glycan‐A‐defective progenitor(s). Immune‐dependent mechanisms, likely involving deranged T cell‐dependent autoimmune response, have been consistently associated with the selection/dominance precursors. Natural killer NK lymphocytes might participate in pathogenesis, but their role still controversial. activity dependent on balance between activating and...
Background: The present study investigates immunological cross‐reactivity between Par o 1, the major pollen allergen of Parietaria , and VP4 protein rotavirus, a microorganism that is world‐wide main etiological agent gastroenteritis in children. Methods: IgG IgE was assessed by direct binding competitive inhibition assays (ELISA DARIA), using recombinant from rhesus infectious rotavirus (RR), synthetic peptides 1‐specific antibodies affinity purified pooled individual human sera. Results:...
Experimental NMR studies on methyl α-L-arabinopyranosides in CDCl3, pyridine and dioxane have shown that the equilibria between conformers are displaced favour of 4C1 conformer, except case 2-substituted derivatives CDCl3. The experimental data a theoretical analysis aimed at explaining them terms intramolecular stereoelectronic solvent effects presented. It appears certain electrostatic interactions anomeric effect, which 1C4 conformational particularly important provided no disruption...
This paper is aimed at examining the European medicine agency decisions in field of human medicines. Different classes medicines approved last five years have been classified. They analyzed considering: i) relation between non generic drugs and drugs, ii) time approval, iii) objectives clinical trials, iv) criteria efficiency, efficacy, safety. By using Summary Public Assessment Report for every period 2010-2015, a dataset has arranged. A Structural Equation Model analysis was carried out....
Human relations are mainly based upon the exchange of narratives. So, it seems reasonable to study effects cerebral injuries this essential function human thinking, and in particualr differences structure narratives patients affected by left right lesions. In paper transcripts audio-taped illness six enrolled (three with right-hemisphere lesions three ones, matched age sex) were analyzed means two different methods: Semantic Networks Analysis Latent Dirichlet Allocation. These methods...
