<h3>Objectives</h3> The prevalence of Anderson–Fabry disease (AFD) in patients presenting with unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is controversial. aim this study was to determine the AFD a large, consecutive cohort hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using rapid mutation screening. <h3>Design, Setting and Patients</h3> A European multicentre cross-sectional involving 13 referral centres. Inclusion criteria for were: men aged at least 35 years women 40 LVH (maximum wall thickness...
Leiopathes glaberrima is a tall arborescent black coral species structuring important facies of the deep-sea rocky bottoms Mediterranean Sea that are severely stifled by fishing activities. At present, however, no morphological in vivo description, ecological characterization, age dating and evaluation possible conservation actions have ever been made for any population this basin. A dense was reported during two Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) surveys conducted on bank off SW coasts...
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is a material having an intrinsically high radiation hardness that can be deposited on flexible substrates such as polyimide (PI). For these properties, a-Si:H used for the production of sensors. sensors successfully utilized in dosimetry, beam monitoring particle physics (X-ray, electron, gamma ray, and proton detection) radiotherapy, flux measurement space applications (study solar energetic particles stellar events), neutron measurements. In this...
Abstract Background The increasing use of complex and high dose‐rate treatments in radiation therapy necessitates advanced detectors to provide accurate dosimetry. Rather than relying on pre‐treatment quality assurance (QA) measurements alone, many countries are now mandating the vivo dosimetry, whereby a dosimeter is placed surface patient during treatment. Ideally, should be flexible conform patient's irregular surfaces. Purpose This study aims characterize novel hydrogenated amorphous...
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) devices on flexible substrates are currently being studied for application in dosimetry and beam flux measurements. The necessity of vivo requires thin with maximal transparency flexibility. For this reason, a (<10 µm) a-Si:H device deposited polyimide sheet is very valid option application. Furthermore, material that has an intrinsically high radiation hardness. In order to develop these devices, the HASPIDE (Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Pixel...
Alpine Upper Palaeolithic contexts exhibit specialised subsistence strategies, heavily dependent on Capra ibex. Among them, the rock shelter Riparo Dalmeri stands out, with C. Ibex dominating faunal remains across all occupation phases, spanning Pleistocene/Holocene transition. This evidence positions as a key site for exploring interdependence between human groups and ibex during one of most critical climatic cultural shifts in evolution. Here, we present first multidisciplinary study Late...
Abstract Objective . Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an alternative emerging radiotherapy treatment modality which has demonstrated effective radioresistant tumour control while sparing surrounding healthy tissue in preclinical trials. This apparent selectivity achieved through MRT combining ultra-high dose rates with micron-scale spatial fractionation of the delivered x-ray field. Quality assurance dosimetry for must therefore overcome a significant challenge, as detectors require both...
Abstract The characteristics of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) detector are presented here for monitoring in space solar flares and the evolution strong to extreme energetic proton events. importance feasibility extend measurements up hundreds MeV is evaluated. a-Si:H presents an excellent radiation hardness finds application harsh environments medical purposes, particle beam characterization and, as we propose here, weather science applications. critical flux detection limits X...
In the Mediterranean basin, agriculture and other forms of human land use have shaped environment since ancient times. Intensive extensive agricultural systems managed with a few cultured plant populations improved varieties are widespread reality in many countries. Despite this, historical cultural landscapes still exist interior less intensively rural areas. There, fruit tree survived modern cultivation systems, preserving unique genetic heritage. this study, we mapped characterized 106...
In the sample preparation laboratory of CEDAD (CEnter for DAting and Diagnostics) University Lecce, a protocol quality control bone samples based on infrared spectroscopy has been set up. The recently developed as check-in test with aim to identify presence collagen in samples, assess its preservation status, determine whether submitted are suitable accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon measurements or not. We discuss this paper use infrared-based techniques “contaminants” such...
Various samples extracted from human tissues (with different radiocarbon turnover rates) of a post-bomb body were submitted to accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dating: hair; cortical fraction skull bone; trabecular pubic symphysis; and enamel permanent teeth with dates formation analyzed. The analyzed showed varying concentrations corresponding times or rates. implications the results in forensics studies are discussed.
