Little is known about the neural correlates of lower limbs position sense, despite impact that proprioceptive deficits have on everyday life activities, such as posture and gait control. We used fMRI to investigate in 30 healthy right-handed right-footed subjects regional distribution brain activity during matching tasks performed with right dominant left nondominant foot. Along activation, we assessed performance both ipsilateral contralateral tasks. Subjects had errors when was by The...
We recently reported the potential of Hough transform in delineating spinal cord metabolism by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT scanning amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The present study aimed to verify relationship between and brain 44 prospectively recruited patients affected sclerosis submitted whole-body PET/CT. Patients were studied highlight presence hypo- or hypermetabolism with respect healthy controls, multiple regression analysis was performed evaluate correlation metabolism. Our...
Spermine oxidase (SMO) is a flavoenzyme involved in polyamine homeostasis animal cells. The mouse spermine gene (mSMO) codes for splice variants, including the previously reported major active isoform, herein named alfa (alpha). In present work, eight additional splicing variants were characterized. heterologous expression and biochemical characterization of three recombinant isoforms (namely mSMOmu, -gamma -delta) revealed that only protein mSMO micro displays characteristics similar to...
Defect detection methods have greatly assisted human operators in various fields, from textiles to surfaces and mechanical components, by facilitating decision-making processes reducing visual fatigue. This area of research is widely recognized as a cross-industry concern, particularly the manufacturing sector. Nevertheless, each specific application brings unique challenges that require tailored solutions. paper presents novel framework for leveraging latent space representations defect...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a remarkable data producer and these may be used to prevent or detect security vulnerabilities increase productivity by the adoption statistical Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. However, desirable benefits are gained if from IoT networks dependable—this where blockchain comes into play. In fact, through blockchain, critical trusted, i.e., considered valid for any subsequent processing. A simple formal model named “the Mirror Model” proposed connect...
Skeletal erosion has been found to represent an independent prognostic indicator in patients with advanced stages of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Whether this phenomenon also occurs early CLL phases and its underlying mechanisms have yet be fully elucidated. In study, we prospectively enrolled 36 consecutive treatment-naïve analyse skeletal structure bone marrow distribution using a computational approach PET/CT images. This evaluation was combined the analysis RANK/RANKL loop...
Background: The use of composite magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures has been suggested to better explain disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, little is known about the utility scores at earliest stages disease. Objective: To investigate whether, clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), a MRI measure, rather than single metrics, would conversion MS and correlate baseline 1 year follow-up. Methods: Corticospinal tract (CST), corpus callosum (CC) optic radiation (OR)...
A novel and efficient tagArray technology was developed that allows rapid identification of antibodies which bind to receptors with a specific expression profile, in the absence biological information. This method is based on cloning specific, short nucleotide sequence (tag) phagemid coding for each phage-displayed antibody fragment (phage-Ab) present library. In order set up validate we identified about 10,000 different phage-Abs binding expressed their native form cell surface (10 k...
Facility management deals with all activities that are not core business for a company and consequently outsourced to specialized companies. Maintenance is fundamental activity in facility it often handled by Global Services (GMS) where some maintenance delegated the service providers remunerated according measurable results expressed as Key Performance Indicators. In this context, would be desirable have information systems trustable involved actors. paper, we discuss design of blockchain...
In this paper, we propose an innovative mobile application to discover and valorize city heritage its identity considering the as a outdoors virtual museum. The application, namely "Once upon Time" Magic GLASS, aims exploit digital images of glimpse preserved at National Central Library Florence provide immersive experience users, that through smart devices can look it was. This project paves way for new class applications able exploiting long term objects.
This ongoing study investigates the neural correlates of ankle dorsi-plantar flexion in active, passive, and proprioceptive tasks. Specifically, we investigated two matching tasks that required a simple combination active passive movements: (1) memory-based ipsilateral task (2) contralateral concurrent task. As expected, during tasks, subjects recruited same brain areas involved correspondent movements (primary motor cortex (M1), premotor (PM) supplementary (SMA) primary somatosensory (S1)),...
