The general class of Wasserstein Sobolev spaces: density of cylinder functions, reflexivity, uniform convexity and Clarkson's inequalities.

We show that the algebra of cylinder functions in the Wasserstein Sobolev space generated by a finite and positive Borel measure on the -Wasserstein space on a complete and separable metric space is dense in energy. As an application, we prove that, in case the underlying metric space is a separable Banach space , then the Wasserstein Sobolev space is reflexive (resp. uniformly convex) if is reflexive (resp.

[Hypotonic cerebral palsy. Which treatment?].

Background: Aim of this study is to verify whether tonus neurophysiological and communicative-relational aspects in hypotonic subjects can be recovered by psychomotor therapy.

Methods: This case series includes two randomized groups of children with central hypotonia observed at the Department of Child Neuropsychiatry of the Gaslini Institute of Genova from February 1992 to December 1996. The 1st group includes 6 subjects treated in a local rehabilitation service only by kinesitherapy.

[Psychomotor treatment of cranial injuries in childhood. Two cases of apallic syndrome].

In this paper the authors aim to assess the results of psychomotor treatment of 5 patients with cranial injuries admitted to the Division of Infantile Neuropsychiatry at Gaslini Hospital from 1983 to 1985 and to evaluate the role of this treatment in a pathology with multiple, complex functional disorders. Evolution was excellent in 3 out of 5 patients who presented level 1-3 coma with limited post-traumatic sequelae (epilepsy and dysfunction of the left side in A.D.

Antinuclear antibody profile in Italian patients with connective tissue diseases.

In the present work we report data on the specificity of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in a large series of Italian patients suffering from a broad spectrum of connective tissue diseases (CTD), by using a series of homogeneous and validated techniques. The present study confirms, on the one hand, generally accepted concepts, i.e.

[Rehabilitative treatment of severe sensory disorders. Description of 2 cases].

Unlabelled: The aim of the work has been to verify the efficacy of a psychomotor rehabilitative treatment undertaken at a late age in two children with multiple handicaps: sensorial (visual and hearing impairment), motor (apostural-akinetic stage) and relational (autistic behavior).

Methods: Salvatore C, and Ivan S., admitted to the "G.

[Effects of early rehabilitative treatment on neurological development and cognitive and perceptual-motor functions of preterm infants at risk].

Longterm effects of early rehabilitative treatment are evaluated in 37 premature infants at neurological risk. The late neurological and psychomotor development of this group of children (experimental group) is compared with that of another 35 at risk premature infants (control group), who received only conventional follow-up care. The two groups do not differ in birth-weight, gestational age, sex and neonatal disorders.

[Influence of technological processes on the extractability of phenols and carbohydrates from sunflower meal and related protein solubility].

A chemical method for the removal of chromogenic phenolic constituents and carbohydrates of the sunflower meal has been investigated. This method uses a nondenaturing polar solvent formed by n-butanol saturated by diluite HCl and allows the preparation of protein isolate off-colour free. Evaluations on the extractibility of phenols, carbohydrates and proteins of sunflower meals from different technological processes have been carried out.

The reaction of horse-liver alcohol dehydrogenase with glyoxal.

Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase was reacted with glyoxal at different pH values ranging from 6.0 to 9.0.
