Cinceles en la Edad del Bronce italiana: aspectos tecnológicos y tipológicos

Los cinceles de bronce son herramientas que se utilizan en percusión apoyada (à percussion posée), por consiguiente, necesitan una longitud mínima y algunas partes funcionales (empuñadura, cuerpo, hoja); podrían tener un mango de material perecedero. Se utilizan con un martillo en el labrado de la madera, del bronce y de otros materiales. Los cinceles se pueden clasificar de acuerdo con los siguientes elementos funcionales: el primero es la forma (cincel de varilla o de cubo); el segundo es la sección del cuerpo; el tercero es la sección de la empuñadura. La cronología y la distribución de cada tipo se identificaron para obtener una visión general de esta clase de instrumentos durante la Edad del Bronce en Italia

Warped Wigner-Hough Transform for Defect Reflection Enhancement in Ultrasonic Guided Wave Monitoring

To improve the defect detectability of Lamb wave inspection systems, the application of nonlinear signal processing was investigated. The approach is based on a Warped Frequency Transform (WFT) to compensate the dispersive behavior of ultrasonic guided waves, followed by a Wigner-Ville time-frequency analysis and the Hough Transform to further improve localization accuracy. As a result, an automatic detection procedure to locate defect-induced reflections was demonstrated and successfully tested by analyzing numerically simulated Lamb waves propagating in an aluminum plate. The proposed method is suitable for defect detection and can be easily implemented for real-world structural health monitoring applications

Morphometric evaluation of the pedicles of the lumbar spine according to L5 lateral tilt classification

A classification of the lumbar spine according to the pedicle lateral tilt (PLT) of L5 pedicle was recently proposed [1]. In this work the sample was divided into three categories, the first or Wing Type (WT) includes people with a PLT >36° (41,8%), the second or V Type (VT) includes people with a PLT between 30° and 36° (48%) and the third or U Type (UT) includes people with a PL

Painting a global picture of basal ganglia network: from past to present!

Since the 70s it has been thought that basal ganglia integrated sensorimotor, associative and limbic inputs and then projected this information through the thalamus to the motor cortex, supplementary motor area and frontal cortex, thus playing a relevant role in planning movement. Recent literature on basal ganglia networks is going beyond the classical “dogma” of dorsal striatum as the main station for cortical inputs in basal ganglia loops and several neurophysiological studies have suggested a more segregated organization of these neural circuits. In the classical view, various tract-tracing methods combined with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization demonstrated that the cortical information flows through the basal ganglia via a dual-network model, based on the “direct” and “indirect” routes. However, in addition to these two major projection systems, a glutamatergic hyper-direct pathway between cerebral cortex and subthalamic nucleus has been demonstrated first in monkeys and then in humans. Furthermore, we have recently shown a i) cortico-pallidal connection; ii) a cerebello-pallidal connection; iii) a cerebello nigral connection [1, 2]. Herein, we extensively examined basal ganglia network of fifteen healthy subjects by using probabilistic constrained spherical deconvolution tractography on magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging data and we also performed weighted connectivity analysis for each of the subcortical nuclei. In addition, we demonstrated for the first time tractographic evidences of the existence of a direct cortico-nigral pathway in humans. We found that substantia nigra is connected with cerebral cortex as a whole, with the most representative connections involving prefrontal cortex, precentral and postcentral gyri and superior parietal lobule. These findings would strength the hypothesis that the cortico-basal ganglia network consists of several, parallel, segregated, and functionally distinct, but homologous loop, and may be relevant for the comprehension of the pathophysiology of several basal ganglia disorders

Interplay between COVID-19, pollution, and weather features on changes in the incidence of acute coronary syndromes in early 2020

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused an unprecedented change in the apparent epidemiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, the interplay between this disease, changes in pollution, climate, and aversion to activation of emergency medical services represents a challenging conundrum. We aimed at appraising the impact of COVID-19, weather, and environment features on the occurrence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in a large Italian region and metropolitan area

Clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) early findings from a teaching hospital in Pavia, North Italy, 21 to 28 February 2020

We describe clinical characteristics, treatments and outcomes of 44 Caucasian patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at a single hospital in Pavia, Italy, from 21\u201328 February 2020, at the beginning of the outbreak in Europe. Seventeen patients developed severe disease, two died. After a median of 6 days, 14 patients were discharged from hospital. Predictors of lower odds of discharge were age>65 years, antiviral treatment and for severe disease, lactate dehydrogenase >300 mg/dL
