De la recension à l’identification de l’autographe du Ragionamento di Domenico Sauli a Francesco suo figliuolo nel quale si narrano alcuni particolari avenimenti della vita sua

In 1541, Domenico Sauli, a member of an important family of Genoese merchants and bankers which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries, is accused of financial embezzlement. To defend himself, Sauli writes his memoirs traditionally entitled Ragionamento di Domenico Sauli a Francesco suo figliuolo nel quale si narrano alcuni particolari avenimenti della vita sua. The article aims to identify the autograph of Domenico Sauli by the study of his handwriting. The identification is based on all the available manuscripts which encompass two versions of the text.

Conservative-surgical treatment of the external-internal endometriosis

Endometriosis as a gynecological disease is becoming a problem of the century, occupying the third place in the structure of gynecological pathology after inflammatory diseases and uterine fibroids. Insufficient effectiveness of treatment, disability and neurotization of women suffering from genital endometriosis, infertility as an important family and state problem. - a short list of troubles. caused by this disease.

Wedding Customs in Amdo, Eastern Tibet

A wedding in Tibetan society is the most important family celebration. The quality of the wedding shows the role that a family plays in the tribe, tshowa. The structure and rules may vary in different regions, but the main elements are more or less the same. Preparation and the ceremony itself can take a few days or more, and traditionally it is preceded by a consultation with an astrologer. Only if the parties are well matched according to their horoscopes are they allowed to marry. In my study, I will focus on the marriage customs of Amdo – nowadays most of Qinghai Province, and some parts of Gansu and Sichuan Provinces of China; in particular the structure and the songs and toasts that feature at each stage of the wedding. During the feast the role of certain relatives such as the maternal uncles is extremely important: their repertoire contains a large numberof songs. We can say that the whole wedding is a mapping of hierarchy and filial piety in a traditional Tibetan family.

Advances toward structure-based drug discovery for inflammasome targets

Inflammasome proteins play an important role in many diseases of high unmet need, making them attractive drug targets. However, drug discovery for inflammasome proteins has been challenging in part due to the difficulty in solving high-resolution structures using cryo-EM or crystallography. Recent advances in the structural biology of NLRP3 and NLRP1 have provided the first set of data that proves a promise for structure-based drug design for this important family of targets.

Golovinomyces longipes (Noordel. & Loer.) L. Kiss on Matricaria chamomilla L.: another host range expansion

Golovinomyces longipes is a widespread powdery mildew on Solanaceae (Nicotiana, Petunia and Solanum spp.). In the past, it has been reported only once on Verbena (Verbenaceae), a non-solanaceaous host. Recently, this powdery mildew has been found on the composite Matricaria chamomilla. The identification of the powdery mildew species on this unusual host has been proved by morphological studies and DNA sequence analysis. Both datasets coincide with the characteristic data for G. longipes on Solanaceae. First inoculation experiments with further composites resulted in an infection of Brachyscome hybrid ‘Surdaisy’. To our knowledge, this is the first report of G. lonigpes on hosts belonging to the important family of Asteraceae and an additional proof of the broader host range of G. longipes beyond the Solanaceae.

2-quinolone-based derivatives as antibacterial agents: A review

: The chemistry of 2-quinolones derivatives has received more attention in the field of both organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. As several advances in the application of this important family of compounds seem too significant utility. In recent years, a variety of new, effective, and novel synthetic approaches (including green chemistry, catalyzed and microwave-assisted synthesis) have been discovered and developed for the designer of various 2-quinolone-based scaffolds, representing an area of increased interest to universities and industry, as well as, to explore their antibacterial activities and reduced toxicity than the existing ones. This review summarizes the results of the literature on the synthesis strategies of 2-quinolones derivatives and their reactivity, as well as their antibacterial evaluations against different bacteria strains.

Revision of some trematodes (Plagiorchiida: Microphallidae) from different birds in Iraq

The adult worms of the Microphallidae family are mainly found as intestinal parasites of birds and mammals, while metacercariae is most commonly found in decapodal crustaceans. The Microphallidaeare family is spread throughout the world. It includes approximately 47 genera. Mature worms usually enter the digestive system of vertebrates, especially birds and mammals. Microphallidae contain eight subfamilies: Androcotylinae - Basantisiinae - Endocotylinae - Gynaecotylinae - Levinseniellinae - MaritrematinaeMicrophallinae - Sphairiotrematinae. Therefore, due to the lack of studies on the Microphallidae family in Iraq, we began to develop a database on this important family.

Chironomidae: Biology, Ecology and Systematics

The family of Chironomidae is a group of Diptera insects belonging to the suborder of Nematocera, commonly called “non-biting midges” in the adult stage and “bloodworms” in the larval stage. The Chironomidae are often the most abundant group of macroinvertebrates, in number of species and individuals, encountered in all aquatic environments of freshwater, brackish, terrestrial and even the sea. Likewise, Chironomidae occur in all the continents. The Chironomidae family is divided into 11 sub-families that have diffrent ecological statues. Despite the wealth of data on Chironomidae in the Holarctic region, other parts of the world are poorly studied and few guides to identifying Chironomidae have been produced. This chapter includes a theoretical synthesis on the Chironomidae, it deals with the Biology (life cycle and description of different stages), description of all subfamilies and the ecology of this important family of Diptera.

Assisted feeding techniques in hospitalised felines

Both dogs and cats continue to be important family and household members. However, because felines are obligate carnivores, they have complicated, and unique nutritional requirements compared with their canine counterparts. These nutritional demands can become even more of a challenge when they are placed in a stressful or hospital environment.
