Abstract

Sleep is an essential function of human life, underlying both biological and cultural processes. Dramatic changes in sleep occur during infancy, in terms of night awakenings, which tend to diminish over time, and day/night sleep duration, with newborns sleeping up to 16-17 hours per day and gradually decreasing to 9-13 hours between 6-11 months of age. Remarkably, research indicates that changes in infant sleep are in interaction with important acquisitions in other domains of child development. In the present study, we aimed at investigating concurrent and longitudinal relations between sleep and cognitive maturation during infancy, by collecting data on 156 infants at 4 months of age and on a subsample of 103 infants at 8 months of age. Infants’ sleep was assessed through the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ; Sadeh, 2004), whereas cognitive maturation was evaluated using the Developmental ProfileTM 3 (Alpern 2007). We also examined infants’ language understanding through the Italian version of the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventory (MCDI): Words and Gestures (Caselli & Casadio, 1995; Fenson et al., 1994). Finally, information about infants’ temperament and maternal practices potentially relevant for sleep quality, such as the use of a pacifier at nighttime, co-sleeping and exclusive breastfeeding, was detected. Results showed that night and day sleep were differently related to infants’ development at 4 and 8 months of age, but there were no robust longitudinal relationships.

Bisazza Abstract: In polyandrous species, females may influence paternity by biasing sperm usage in favour of particular males. In the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, the number of sperm inseminated in a copulation depends on the female's perception of male attractiveness. We videorecorded copulations in the laboratory to test the hypothesis that there is a positive correlation between the number of sperm inseminated and the duration of the copulation. Duration was positively correlated with the number of sperm retrieved from the female's gonoduct. Once copulation duration was statistically controlled for, more sperm were retrieved from the gonoduct in courtship copulations than in coercive copulations, and in postpartum females than in virgin females. Copulation duration was positively correlated with the degree of carotenoid coloration of the male, suggesting that copulation duration might be the proximate mechanism of cryptic female choice in this species. The intensity of 'jerking', a postcopulatory behaviour of male guppies, was positively correlated with the number of sperm inseminated, suggesting a possible signalling function of this display.

Abstract

l cancro di intervallo (CI) è un’entità patologica che viene descritta solo nell’ambito dei programmi di screening organizzato. Si intende per CI un carcinoma successivo ad un processo di screening negativo e comparso prima del passaggio di screening successivo. Qualsiasi sia la motivazione della loro genesi, i CI rappresentano un insuccesso del programma di screening che, in teoria, mira a diagnosticare tutti i carcinomi in fase di screening, e a non consentire la comparsa di CI. L’analisi dei CI (loro frequenza di comparsa nel tempo, caratteristiche morfologiche e cliniche, revisione della precedente mammografia di screening) è un momento fondamentale della valutazione di performance dello screening.Per questo motivo a 10 anni dall’attivazione del programma di Screening a Trieste, si è voluto confrontare i fattori prognostici dei carcinomi screening-detected (CSD) e dei (CI), alla luce dell’ampio dibattito in letteratura riguardo la maggior aggressività di questi ultimi.

23. Possible glimpses into early speciation : the effect of ovarian fluid on sperm velocity accords with post-copulatory isolation between two guppy populations

Abstract

Identifying mechanisms of reproductive isolation is key to understanding speciation. Among the putative mechanisms underlying reproductive isolation, sperm-female interactions (post-mating-prezygotic barriers) are arguably the hardest to identify, not least because these are likely to operate at the cellular or molecular level. Yet sperm-female interactions offer great potential to prevent the transfer of genetic information between different populations at the initial stages of speciation. Here, we provide a preliminary test for the presence of a putative post-mating-prezygotic barrier operating between three populations of Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata), an internally fertilizing fish that inhabits streams with different levels of connectivity across Trinidad. We experimentally evaluate the effect of female ovarian fluid on sperm velocity (a predictor of competitive fertilization success) according to whether males and females were from the same (native) or different (foreign) populations. Our results reveal the potential for ovarian fluid to act as a post-mating-prezygotic barrier between two populations from different drainages, but also that the strength of this barrier is different among populations. This result may explain the previous finding that, in some populations, sperm from native males have precedence over foreign sperm, which could eventually lead to reproductive isolation between these populations.

Abstract

Friuli Venezia Giulia holds the higest row incidence rate for breast carcinoma in Italy (218%00) and Trieste, where live 125.000 women (105.000 women of age below 75) has the highest incidence rate among the other provinces of the region (220%00). The risk of developing breast carcinoma seems to be correlated with many different factors. The goal of this study is to focus on same specific breast carcinoma risk factors in the Trieste population.

Abstract

In Trieste, pathologists have been actively involved in breast diagnostics working alongside radiologists in the sampling time in order to set up together the most adequate approach in case-solving basing on the clinical/radiological and rapid stain cytological findings. Based on our own experience we prefer, whenever possible, to use the fine needle aspiration sampling method (FNA), almost always under ultrasound guidance, even for palpable lesions, reserving tru-cut biopsy only for a limited number of cases and vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) only in not ultrasound detectable lesions (id: isolated microcalcifications). The collaboration between radiologist and pathologist is essential to correctly evaluate identified lesions: the more coincident the results of radiological and cytological exams are, the more accurate the final diagnosis will be. Nevertheless there are some cases in which radiology and cytology do not agree. We decided to reassess the entire database, focusing on the management of discrepant cases in the light of the final histological diagnosis for surgical-treated cases or referring to the follow-up exams in the cases that did not undergo surgery.
