Ellagic acid (EA) is a polyphenolic compound that can be found as naturally occurring hydrolysis product of ellagitannins in pomegranates, berries, grapes, green tea and nuts. Previous studies have reported the antitumor properties EA mainly using vitro models. No data are available about influence on bladder cancer cell invasion extracellular matrix triggered by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an angiogenic factor associated with disease progression recurrence, tumor vivo. In...
Background: Plastic surgery aims to enhance patients’ positive features and improve perceived flaws without seeking complete transformation. The body is a living organism, not sculptural object be reshaped at will. Aesthetic standards are influenced by subjective factors, including technology social media’s effect on self-perception beauty ideals. Understanding perception requires consideration of personal views, mirror reflections, external perspectives. Methods: We analyzed data from more...
The present research addresses the issue of whether orthographic-phonological information about gender provided by Italian affixes affects processing single nouns. In six experiments, transparent nouns (Italian feminine ending in "-a") were compared with irregular masculine "a"). We tested assumption that when displayed suffix a noun is inconsistent syntactic gender, lexical slower and less accurate. tasks employed (reading aloud, on-line inflection, decision) require different degrees...
Abstract In some languages the grammatical gender of nouns can be probabilistically detected using formal cues; for instance, in Italian, majority feminine end ‘-a’(e.g., casa , ‘home’) and masculine ‘-o’ (e.g., albero ‘tree’). It has been hypothesized that match/mismatch between information suffix abstract on affects lexical processing nouns. An alternative account is a default option available poses constraints to mechanisms access words exhibiting markers surface form. present study, with...
Probabilistic language models are increasingly used to provide neural representations of linguistic features under naturalistic settings. Word surprisal can be applied continuous fMRI recordings during task-free listening narratives, detect regions linked prediction and comprehension. Here, this purpose, a novel semantics-weighted lexical is data. FMRI was performed at 3 Tesla in 31 subjects 12-minute audiobook played both original word-reversed (control) version. Lexical-only were estimated...
Abstract Purpose Predicting infection risk in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) colonized patients may help improving timely appropriate antibiotic therapy. This study aims to explore factors for developing infections hospitalized with previous CRAB colonization. Methods We performed an observational retrospective cohort at ASST Sette Laghi-Varese Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022. All consecutive adult (> 18 years old) documented colonization by any...
Abstract Background Liposuction is a safe, simple, and effective method of body contouring. Pain, ecchymosis, edema are often local complications at the removal site, especially in first weeks after surgery. Several studies have shown that kinesiology (kinesio) taping improves blood lymphatic flow, removing congestions fluid alleviating hemorrhage. However, there limited data on effect kinesio mitigating fat grafting donor sites. Objectives The aim this pilot study was to evaluate impact...
Medical thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive and safe procedure mostly performed for unexplained exudative pleural effusions but may be considered pneumothorax (PNX).
The generation of regular and irregular inflected verb-forms has been taken as a crucial test between models inflection in the mental lexicon, namely approaches which invoke different mechanisms for forms (rule-based procedures vs. recovery whole stored an associative network) accounts postulate single procedure all forms. An alternative hypothesis suggests that inflectional processes are explained by membership words to clusters, instance, Italian classes (conjugations). In behavioural rapid...
