Correlations, integration and Hansen-Jagannathan Bounds

Recent studies have documented the growing economic and financial integration between countries. Among other things, this has led to the argument that greater integration results in higher bilateral correlations between returns on national stock markets. This study endeavours to link the two issues by utilizing the assumption that if countries are integrated, they would have to display a minimum level of correlation. This is achieved by constructing a bound on the level of the bilateral correlation, as originally developed by Kasa (1995). In contrast to Kasa, the present studies demonstrate that the correlation bound may not be downward sloping in all cases and careful interpretation of the results is required.

Hansen Neuropathy: Still a Possible Diagnosis in the Investigation of a Peripheral Neuropathy

INTRODUCTION: Leprosy is still one of the most frequent causes of peripheral neuropathy. Although regarded as eradicated in Portugal, is still documented in neuropathological study of patients with clinical peripheral neuropathy without proper diagnosis.

Antonio Canova e gli Inglesi: fonti, committenza ed interrelazioni culturali

Il rapporto di Antonio Canova con la società e la cultura inglese è da sempre considerato di fondamentale importanza, ma solo negli ultimi anni è stato oggetto di studi più approfonditi, tuttavia per lo più limitati alle vicende della committenza artistica: una riflessione che ambisse a tenere insieme le fila delle molteplici sfaccettature del tema ricostruendo ed interconnettendo tra loro gli aspetti alla base di questa relazione di mutuo arricchimento mancava ancora nella pur ricchissima bibliografia canoviana. Per poter intraprendere una simile indagine, si è preso le mosse dalla quanto mai corposa documentazione archivistica e dalle molte fonti a stampa dell'epoca, integralmente trascritte nelle quattro appendici a corredo di questo studio. Se ne sono tratti un piccolo dizionario biografico di tutte le personalità britanniche in rapporto con l'artista nell'arco della sua intera carriera ed un catalogo di oltre sessanta opere in vario modo legate alla committenza ed al collezionismo inglese. Nel saggio, invece, la disamina del tema in oggetto è stata condotta affrontandone in ciascun capitolo singoli aspetti distintivi: la committenza e la mutua influenza culturale; le relazioni politiche e diplomatiche intercorse tra Canova ed il Regno Unito attraverso la sua arte; lo straordinario favore goduto dallo scultore in terra inglese e le ragioni profonde della sua precoce sforuna critica; infine il suo rapporto con le arti figurative e letterarie britanniche, un ambito di ricerca complesso e relativamente originale per il quale si è avviata un'indagine introduttiva utile, si spera, ad impostare la ricerca per futuri approfondimenti. L'obiettivo perseguito, pertanto, è quello di gettare uno sguardo finalmente generale su di un fenomeno che, osservato nella sua interezza, può ancora spiegare moltissimo sulla figura e la carriera di Antonio Canova, personalità che appare, oggi più che mai, di statura europea.

[adherence To Statin Treatment And Associated Factors In Female Users From The Unified Health System (sus)].

To identify the adherence rate of a statin treatment and possible related factors in female users from the Unified Health System. Seventy-one women were evaluated (64.2 ± 11.0 years) regarding the socio-economic level, comorbidities, current medications, level of physical activity, self-report of muscular pain, adherence to the medical prescription, body composition and biochemical profile. The data were analyzed as frequencies, Chi-Squared test, and Mann Whitney test (p<0.05). 15.5% of women did not adhere to the medical prescription for the statin treatment, whose had less comorbidities (p=0.01), consumed less quantities of medications (p=0.00), and tended to be younger (p=0.06). Those patients also presented higher values of lipid profile (CT: p=0.01; LDL-c: p=0.02). Musculoskeletal complains were not associated to the adherence rate to the medication. The associated factors to adherence of dyslipidemic women to statin medical prescription were age, quantity of comorbidities and quantity of current medication.

Imatinib Restores Vasp Activity And Its Interaction With Zyxin In Bcr-abl Leukemic Cells.

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) and Zyxin are interacting proteins involved in cellular adhesion and motility. PKA phosphorylates VASP at serine 157, regulating VASP cellular functions. VASP interacts with ABL and is a substrate of the BCR-ABL oncoprotein. The presence of BCR-ABL protein drives oncogenesis in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) due to a constitutive activation of tyrosine kinase activity. However, the function of VASP and Zyxin in BCR-ABL pathway and the role of VASP in CML cells remain unknown. In vitro experiments using K562 cells showed the involvement of VASP in BCR-ABL signaling. VASP and Zyxin inhibition decreased the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, BCL2 and BCL-XL. Imatinib induced an increase in phosphorylation at Ser157 of VASP and decreased VASP and BCR-ABL interaction. VASP did not interact with Zyxin in K562 cells; however, after Imatinib treatment, this interaction was restored. Corroborating our data, we demonstrated the absence of phosphorylation at Ser157 in VASP in the bone marrow of CML patients, in contrast to healthy donors. Phosphorylation of VASP on Ser157 was restored in Imatinib responsive patients though not in the resistant patients. Therefore, we herein identified a possible role of VASP in CML pathogenesis, through the regulation of BCR-ABL effector proteins or the absence of phosphorylation at Ser157 in VASP.
