Post-herpetic neuralgia is the most challenging and debilitating complication of herpes zoster in immunocompetent host. Because effect treatment disappointing once syndrome has developed, it important to know which factors predict post-herpetic occurrence facilitate selection patients with a higher risk developing undertake preventative strategies. The present study aimed at identifying demographic, clinical psychosocial correlates sample 219 patients, who were examined by dermatologists...
Postprandial oxidative stress is characterized by an increased susceptibility of the organism towards damage after consumption a meal rich in lipids and/or carbohydrates. Micronutrients modulate immune system and exert protective action reducing low density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation via induction antioxidant enzymes. We evaluated gene expression (HOSp), inflammasome (HIp), human drug metabolism pathways (HDM) ox‐LDL level at baseline intake red wine naturally enriched with resveratrol...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the main cause of blindness in developed world. The etiology AMD multifactorial due to interaction between genetic and environmental factors. IL-8 has a role inflammation angiogenesis; we report characterization allele architecture evaluate SNPs or haplotypes susceptibility wet AMD, case-control study.Case-control study including 721 patients 660 controls becoming from Italian population. Genotyping was carried out by Real Time-PCR. Differences...
The important role of food and nutrition in public health is being increasingly recognized as crucial for its potential impact on health-related quality life the economy, both at societal individual levels. prevalence non-communicable diseases calls a reformulation our view food. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system, first implemented EU with Directive 43/93/CEE, later replaced by Regulation CE 178/2002 852/2004, internationally agreed approach safety control. Our aim to...
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) represents one of the most sight-threatening diseases in developed countries that substantially impacts patients' lifestyle by compromising everyday activities, such as reading and driving. In this context, understanding prevalence, burden, population-specific risk/protective factors AMD is essential for adequate health care planning provision. Our work aimed to characterize exudative Italian population identify susceptibility/protective (genetic...
Interest in medical errors has increased during the last few years owing to number of malpractice claims. Reasons for increasing claims may be related patients' higher expectations, iatrogenic injury, and growth legal services industry. Claims analysis provides helpful information specialties which a occur, highlighting areas where orthopaedic care might improved.
There is recent mounting evidence that nanoparticles may have enhanced toxicological potential in comparison to the same material bulk form. The aim of this study was develop a new method for unmask asbestos nanofibers from Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded tissue. an increasing amount enhance Formalin-Fixed (FFPE) For first time, we applied Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis through transmission electron microscopy demonstrate presence histological specimens patients with possible...
Objective . The aim of this study was to validate the role diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) at 3 Tesla in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant laterocervical lymph nodes patients with head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Materials Methods Before undergoing surgery, 80 patients, biopsy proven HNSCC, underwent a magnetic resonance exam. Sensitivity (Se) specificity (Spe) conventional criteria DWI detecting node metastases were calculated. Histological results from...
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms were found associated with body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity and lean mass. The aim of our study was to examine the role C677T MTHFR polymorphism in response diet management metabolic syndrome. We investigated composition factor changes after an hysocaloric balanced (HBD), Italian obese women affected by syndrome (MS). Forty four MS eligible for study. A HBD 12 weeks assigned. Study participation included a complete screening...
Abstract The tumour suppressor p53 plays an important role in somatic cell reprogramming. While wild-type reduces reprogramming efficiency, mutant exerts a gain of function activity that leads to increased efficiency. Furthermore, induced pluripotent stem cells expressing lose their pluripotency vivo and form malignant tumours when injected mice. It is therefore great interest identify targets (wild type mutant) are responsible for this phenotype during reprogramming, as these could be...
Cocaine use is increasing around the world and its purity frequently altered through dilution, substitution, contamination, adulteration. Sugars, talc, starch, carbonates represent principal diluents of cocaine, while phenacetin, levamisole, caffeine, lidocaine are major adulterants in Europe. Levamisole used because it an odorless powder, with physical properties similar to has reasonable cost availability, being widely veterinary medicine. For this study, we analyzed 88 cocaine samples....
Healthcare-associated infections are a major clinical and public health problem that involve, in variety of ways, healthcare professionals, hospital administrators and, above all, patients. In Italy, the incidence infectious complications generally varies from 5-10% (hospitalized patients) to 1% (home care patients); such manifest epidemically, caused by antibiotic-resistant microorganisms becoming more common, with mortality rate 20-30%. Moreover, any "preventable deaths or serious...

Worldwide tobacco smoking kills nearly 6 million people each year, including more than 600,000 non-smokers who die from smoke exposure. Environmental (ETS, also called secondhand smoke, involuntary or passive smoke) is the combination of sidestream given off by a burning product and mainstream exhaled smokers. People may be exposed to ETS in homes, cars, workplaces, public places, such as bars, restaurants, recreational settings. In addition, there another type which until now has not been...
The neurologic sequelae post-measles are less common than other complications measles-related and can lead to severe disability or death: primary measles encephalitis (PME), acute post-infectious encephalomyelitis (APME), inclusion body (MIBE), subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). SSPE syndrome affect people years from the virus infection, as result of persistence defective viral particles in brain cells. Clinical onset typically manifests with progressive intellectual deterioration,...
