Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by poor efficacy and modest clinical impact of current therapies, in which apoptosis evasion is relevant.Intracellular calcium homeostasis dysregulation is associated with apoptosis escaping, and aberrant expression of calcium regulator genes could promote GC drug resistance.Since we previously found a prognosti
The paper presents the case study of the complete 3D survey of the area of the Fort of Pietole in Borgo Virgilio using the Leica Pegasus Backpack wearable Mobile Mapping System (MMS).Surveying the site is challenging because of its complex topology on the one hand (with notably narrow passages) and because of the presence of vegetation on the other
The advent of massive parallel sequencing (MPS) has revolutionized the field of human molecular genetics, including the diagnostic study of mitochondrial (mt) DNA dysfunction.The analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome using MPS platforms is now common and Beta Alanine will soon outrun conventional sequencing.However, the development of a rob
The assessment of forest productivity at early stages of stand development may help to define the most appropriate silviculture treatment to be applied for each stand.Site index (dominant height at a reference age) is a useful tool for forest productivity estimation.The aim of this study was to develop a model to predict site index for Scots pine (
Background: It has been shown that whole body vibration training has an effect on strength and balance in athletes of various sports.Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) training on static balance and explosive strength of the lower limbs, using two different training intensities vib
