L'abuso di alcol può causare diverse patologie ed elevata mortalità, essendo associato a episodi depressivi, ansia grave, insonnia, suicidio ed abuso di sostanze. Il consumo cronico di alcol può causare l'insorgenza precoce di patologie cardiache, ictus, tumori e cirrosi epatica, e procurare amnesia anterograda lieve, deficit cognitivi...

EtG is a minor non-oxidative ethanol metabolite, resulting from the enzymatic glucuronidation of ethanol in the liver. This small molecule can be detected in several body fluids and tissues for variable intervals of time after ethanol ingestion. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in its use in epidemiological studies in order to...

It is widely recognized that bloodstains dating may represent a crucial evidence in resolving many cases of forensic interest. Since the non-destructive techniques are most desirable, spectroscopies appear to be particularly attractive. Even though this topic has been investigated with limited success since the 1960s, most scientific strain...

In a forensic context, non-destructive techniques are most desirable, due to the importance of preserving the specimens and to enable repeated analysis by all parts involved. For this reason, spectroscopies appear to be particularly attractive. By the way, the complex signals produced by those analytical techniques make it necessary to use...

Il problema della datazione delle macchie di sangue è molto studiato in ambito forense, in quanto definire quando una traccia è stata depositata ha un ruolo fondamentale nello stabilirne la correlazione con un evento criminoso. Finora questo tema è stato investigato principalmente per mezzo della spettroscopia UV-visibile e Raman, mentre gli...

The work aims at developing water maps for understanding water management of microclimates composed by nonvascular epiphytic communities (lichens and bryophytes) and how they prolong water availability depending on the composition of the community. An aquaphotomic approach, focusing on water absorption bands, is used to understand water...

The present work is aimed at developing water maps for understanding how a micro-ecosystem composed by nonvascular epiphytic communities (mainly, lichens and bryophytes), manages water and, consequently, how the thalli can prolong water availability depending on the morphology of the species and the composition of the community itself. To...

Nitrite/nitrate poisoning is an emerging problem, with an ongoing escalation of reported self-administration with suicidal intent in several countries. Nitrites toxicity mainly consists of their interaction with hemoglobin (Hb), causing its oxidization to methemoglobin (MetHb). In order to give support to the correct procedures for the analysis...

Alcohol consumption is associated with oxidative stress and an increased risk of carcinoma of the upper aero-digestive tract (UADT). Recently, it has been found that some microorganisms in the human oral cavity may locally metabolize ethanol, forming acetaldehyde, a carcinogenic metabolite of alcohol. In a cohort of patients first visited for...
