To characterize the therapeutic variables correlated to outcome in 370 patients with primary CNS lymphoma.Planned treatment was radiotherapy (RT) 98 patients, chemotherapy (CHT) 32, RT followed by CHT 36, and 197 patients. High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX; 1 8 g/m2) used 169 intrathecal 109.One hundred sixteen are alive (median follow-up 24 months), a 2-year overall survival of 37%. Patients treated had improved respect alone. receiving HD-MTX-based survived longer than those other drugs....
Although high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is the most effective drug against primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSL), outcome-determining variables related to its administration schedule have not been defined. The impact on toxicity and outcome of area under curve (AUCMTX), dose intensity (DIMTX) infusion rate (IRMTX) MTX plasmatic creatinine clearance (CLcrea) was investigated in a retrospective series 45 PCNSL patients treated with three different HD-MTX-based combinations. Anticonvulsants were...
The western Amazon is one of the world's last high-biodiversity wilderness areas, characterized by extraordinary species richness and large tracts roadless humid tropical forest. It also home to an active hydrocarbon (oil gas) sector, operations in extremely remote areas that require new access routes. Here, we present first integrated analysis sector its associated road-building Amazon. Specifically, document (a) current panorama, including location development status all oil gas...
Abstract Geophysical prospection on 14 ha integrates the processing and interpretation of vertical multispectral oblique aerial images for uncovering archaeology Roman city Altinum. This Iron Age harbour was completely abandoned in early Middle Ages, when people moved to nearby lagoon islands, so site is particularly fit application non‐invasive techniques. Primary aims research were test archaeological structures centre, estimate their degree preservation subsoil, update previous knowledge...
Processing and interpretation of July 2007 digital visible near-infrared aerial photographs, coupled by a terrain model, has allowed for detailed reconstruction the topography paleoenvironmental setting Roman city Altinum, shedding new light on far origins Venice. Images were taken during severe dry conditions, which stressed maize soy crops. The walls doors, street network, dwellings, theaters, amphitheater, forum, emporia, basilica, complex network rivers canals have been mapped.
The Tagaeri Taromenane People are two indigenous groups belonging to the Waorani first nation living in voluntary isolation within Napo region of western Amazon rainforest. To protect their territory Ecuadorean State has declared and geographically defined, by Decrees, Zona Intangible (ZITT). This zone is located UNESCO Yasuní Biosphere Reserve (1989), one most biodiverse areas world. Due several hydrocarbon reserve exploitation projects running area advancing a large-scale deforestation...
Agricultural lands are the widest Human-modified ecosystems, making crop production most extensive form of land use on Earth. However, in conventional agricultural management, soil erosion may be boosted up to 1–2 orders magnitude higher than natural rates production, unproductive about 30% world’s arable. Nowadays Europe, vineyards represent erosion-prone lands, especially Mediterranean countries, showing highest comparison other type uses. Prosecco wine is produced NE Italy by a rate 400 M...
The sedimentary fills of two dolines in the Faverghera plateau Venetian Pre-Alps, south Belluno, have been investigated. This small is a sub-horizontal surface about 0.5 km2 wide, located on northeastern slope Mt. (1640 m a.s.l.) hosting nearly 40 karst partially filled by periglacial deposits. Topographic survey, electric resistivity tomography (ERT), soil and pollen analyses carried on. structure characters filling deposits indicate that evolution these forms has controlled alternation...
Abstract Multistratified archaeological sites are important archives of past human activities, recording the superposition anthropogenic deposits over centuries and millennia. We attempted reconstruction buried geomorphic surfaces in 1.55 km 2 , 7 m thick, multistratified urban site Padua northern Italy, through spatial interpolation 117 elevation points relative to unique features. Key data were elevations above sea level ancient features, such as presettlement alluvial plain, roads,...

Lahko ga štejemo za klasični kras konglomeratu, primerljivim s klasičnim krasom na apnencu, Tržaškim Krasom. tlorisu ovalen, dolg približno 13 km ZJZ – VSV smeri ter širok okoli 5 km. Razvit »montelskem konglomeratu« poznomiocenske starosti (mesinij), ki gradijo največ karbonatni prodniki zlepljeni kalcitnim vezivom, debeline do 2000 m. oblikovan cel sistem oblik, nastalih zaradi rečnega...
Environmental pollution is a persistent problem in terrestrial ecosystems, including remote mountain areas. This study investigates the extent and patterns of littering on three popular hiking trails among mountaineers tourists Dolomites range located northeastern Italy. The data was collected adopting citizen science approach with participation university students surveying recording macroscopic waste items through GPS-based offline platform. were categorized according to their material...
Abstract Prosecco, one of the most widespread sparkling wine in world, is produced Northeast Italy by a rate 400 M bottles per year, with fastest growing demand global market at present. A production 90 year −1 currently running historical Prosecco sector (215 km 2 ), defined as Controlled and Guaranteed Designation Origin (DOCG) area, steep hilly landscape Veneto Region (Conegliano-Valdobbiadene) registered 2017 for UNESCO World Heritage tentative list. To sustain agricultural...
In the autumn of 1914, Austria-Hungary began to prepare for possibility an Italian offensive by building field fortifications, which formed Tyrol Defense Line (TDL). Mountainous areas, such as area TDL, present obstacles trafficability in large part caused terrain slope. On eastern front, steep slope obstructed when Italians attacked TDL and represented, turn, advantage Austro-Hungarian defense. This paper focuses on assessment conditions determined using a GIS cost distance analysis. Key...
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are the most vulnerable environments worldwide and biodiverse, providing essential ecosystem services. The role of land management in agriculture is paramount with dramatic increase pesticides: two million tonnes used (47.5% herbicides, 29.5% insecticides, 17.5% fungicides) jeopardising freshwater ecosystems. Concerns about risk pesticide contamination from viticulture have led to implementing nature-based mitigation measures (buffer strips hedgerows) technical...
Studying historical rural landscapes beyond their archaeological and cultural significance, as has typically been addressed in previous research, is important the context of current environmental challenges. Some landscapes, such Roman land divisions, have persisted for more than 2000 years may still contribute to sustainability goals. To assess this topic, hydraulic vegetation network centuriation northeast Padua were studied, emphasising multiple benefits. Their length, distribution,...
La promozione del turismo fluviale come nuova forma di lento sta ricevendo notevole interesse. Ai fini della redazione Piano Portualità Turistica Regione Veneto, sono stati avviati alcuni studi utili alla costruzione un'offerta turistica legata ai corsi d'acqua. Si presentano qui i risultati una mappatura delle risorse locali e si discute un "indice potenziale turistico" costruito su dati georeferenziati, analizzandone l'efficacia limiti.
