“Young Lords Party: attivisti del Barrio tra isolamento e contaminazione urbana,”

Between 1969 and 1972, the New York Puerto Rican activist group of the Young Lords Party organized several initiatives, “offensives,” in East Harlem, Manhattan. In this article, Bavaro provides an overview of this understudied social movement, its main actions and ideological directions, while highlighting the interplay between the social space of New York City and the party’s development. It describes a community-based, site-specific militant group that was nonetheless profoundly permeable to contemporary events and issues that were animating the city at large and the nation

Probiotic potential and safety assessment of type strains of Weissella and Periweissella species

Although numerous strains belonging to the Weissella genus have been described in the last decades for their probiotic and biotechnological potential, others are known to be opportunistic pathogens of humans and animals. Here, we investigated the probiotic potential of two Weissella and four Periweissella type strains belonging to the species Weissella diestrammenae, Weissella uvarum, Periweissella beninensis, Periweissella fabalis, Periweissella fabaria, and Periweissella ghanensis by genomic and phenotypic analyses, and performed a safety assessment of these strains. Based on the results of the survival to simulated gastrointestinal transit, autoaggregation and hydrophobicity characteristics, as well as adhesion to Caco-2 cells, we showed that the P. beninensis, P. fabalis, P. fabaria, P. ghanensis, and W. uvarum type strains exhibited a high probiotic potential. The safety assessment, based on the genomic analysis, performed by searching for virulence and antibiotic resistance genes, as well as on the phenotypic evaluation, by testing hemolytic activity and antibiotic susceptibility, allowed us to identify the P. beninensis type strain as a safe potential probiotic microorganism

Prácticas y modas poco saludables: los piercings

El proyecto de extensión Basta de Piercing tiene como propósito concientizar a la población adolescente, de distintos centros educativos de nuestra ciudad, sobre un problema social que los afecta: el uso de piercings bucales. Los adolescentes que deciden realizarse una perforación, normalmente desconocen las lesiones permanentes que pueden causar en los tejidos periodontales, las piezas dentarias y la mucosa.Categoría: Trabajos de extensión.Facultad de Odontologí

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation from unrelated donors in multiple myeloma: study from the italian bone marrow donor registry.

AbstractTo evaluate trends in allografting from unrelated donors, we conducted a study on 196 consecutive myeloma patients transplanted between 2000 and 2009 in Italy. Twenty-eight percent, 37%, and 35%, respectively, received myeloablative, reduced-intensity, and nonmyeloablative conditioning. In these 3 cohorts, 1-year and 5-year transplantation-related mortalities were 28.8% and 37.0%, 20.3% and 31.3%, and 25.0% and 30.3%, respectively (P = .745). Median overall survival (OS) and event-free survival from transplantation for the 3 cohorts were 29 and 10 months, 11 and 6 months, and 32 and 13 months, respectively (P = .039 and P = .049). Overall cumulative incidences of acute and chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) were 46.1% and 51.1%. By Cox multivariate analyses, chronic GVHD was significantly associated with longer OS (hazard ratio [HR], .51; P = .009), whereas the use of peripheral blood stem cells was borderline significant (HR, .55; P = .051). Better response posttransplantation was associated with longer event-free survival (HR, 2.13 to 4.25; P < .001). Acute GVHD was associated with poorer OS (HR, 2.53; P = .001). This analysis showed a strong association of acute and chronic GVHD and depth of response posttransplantation with clinical outcomes. Long-term disease control remains challenging regardless of the conditioning. In the light of these results, prospective trials may be designed to better define the role of allografting from unrelated donors in myeloma

Y si nos vacunamos 3

Introducción: La población de mayor riesgo de enfermedades como gripe, neumonia, Covid entre otras, son los adultos que superan los 65 años. Es sabido que este grupo etáreo no se vacuna adecuadamente contra algunas de estas enfermedades. A esto, se suma la desconfianza que en algunos sectores de la población mantienen sobre la efectividad y seguridad de las vacunas, a causa de profesionales y particulares que se expresan en contra de la inmunización en diferentes medios masivos de comunicación y redes sociales. Por estos dos puntos y la persistencia en la falta de conciencia sobre la importancia de la vacunación en la población mayor de 65 años, nuestra preocupación por este tema sigue intacta.Facultad de Odontologí

Postbellum: la drammaturgia afroamericana gay e l’incubo della storia

This essay’s premise is that there is currently a gay Black renaissance in the American theater. After a brief overview of some of the most acclaimed playwrights, the essay focuses on what seems to be a recurring theme in many dramatic works, both for the stage and for cinema and television: the return of the antebellum past in plays that are instead set in the present time—a return that is often framed as a nightmare the characters struggle to confront. The second half of the essay analyzes two plays, Insurrection: Holding History, by Robert O’Hara, and Slave Play, by Jeremy O. Harris, exploring the interplay between sexuality, slavery, and historiography
