Surely, it is not a new movement or concept, first may be last to oppress, neglect, forget isolate others who do think like us. History humanity full these unpleasant samples. Nearly, ...

T-wave alternans (TWA), consisting in an alternation of the electrocardiographic (ECG) repolarization segment (T-wave), is a promising index of the risk of sudden cardiac death. By definition, it is characterized by a frequency component, termed fTWA, that matches half heart rate. The heartrate adaptive match filter (AMF) based method is a technique for automatic TWA identification from the dig...

We describe the case of an eight-year-old boy, who underwent a video-stereo EEG (SEEG) investigation for the presurgical assessment of drug-resistant epilepsy, related to a right fronto-lateral cortical dysplasia and who became seizure-free after epilepsy surgery. The unexpected finding of the investigations was that intracerebral, high frequency (50 Hz) electrical stimulation (HFS) triggered t...

Odoardo Beccari (1843–1920) is considered to be one of the more important Italian naturalists nineteenth century, in particular for his pioneering explorations Malaysian Archipelago. During this period, he collected many thousands botanical, zoological and ethno-anthropological specimens which are now conserved natural history museums. Based on material, hundreds species new science have been d...

ABSTRACT Apart from being chaotic, the inner planets in Solar system constitute an open system, as they are forced by regular long-term motion of outer ones. No integrals can bound a priori stochastic wanderings their high-dimensional phase space. Still, probability dynamical instability is remarkably low over next 5 billion years, time-scale 1000 times longer than Lyapunov time. The half-life ...

Nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) comprises a complex spectrum of distinct paroxysmal sleep-related attacks of variable intensity, including paroxysmal arousals, nocturnal paroxysmal dystonias and epileptic nocturnal wanderings. Scalp EEG and brain MRI are unable to reveal abnormalities in a considerable amount of patients. In those cases the epileptic nature of NFLE is supported by the st...

Nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) is a disorder characterised by clusters of brief motor seizures during sleep, often without surface EEG epileptiform abnormalities’“. For these reasons, the prevalence of this disorder has probably been underestimated. Moreover, in the past, many patients with clusters of nocturnal motor attacks have been diagnosed as having nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia5,...

The study of life and living organisms and the way in which these interact and organize to form social communities have been central to my career. I have been fascinated by biology, neurology, and neuropathology, but also by history, sociology, and art. Certain current historical, political, and social events, some occurring proximally but others affecting people in apparently distant places, h...
