A Bicarbonate-Alkaline Mineral Water Protects from Ethanol-Induced Hemorrhagic Gastric Lesions in Mice

Biol Pharm Bull. 2010

Authors: Nassini Romina, De Siena Gaetano, Geppetti Pierangelo, Materazzi Serena, Andre Eunice, Gazzieri David, Zanasi Alessandro

Abstract

Ingestion of elevated amounts of ethanol in humans and rodents induces hemorrhagic gastric lesions, at least in part by increasing oxidative stress. The present study was undertaken in order to evaluate the influence of a bicarbonate-alkaline mineral water (Uliveto (R)) on ethanol-induced hemorrhagic gastric lesions in mice. Lesions were evaluated by both macroscopic and microscopic analysis.

Coughing. Pathognomic significance and therapeutic options

Recenti Prog Med. 2002

Author: Zanasi A, Giannuzzi A, Porrino L.

Abstract

A wide range of disease processes may present with cough and definitive treatment depends on making an accurate diagnosis of the cause. Acute or short-lived cough, which most commonly occurs in association with viral upper respiratory tract infection, is of a little consequence, usually resolving in a matter of days.

Authors: Fontana Giovanni A., Lavorini Federico, Geri Pietro, Zanasi Alessandro, Piumelli Raffaele

Abstract

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is defined as failure of the chemical (autonomic) control of breathing causing alveolar hypoventilation in the absence of pulmonary, cardiac, neuromuscular or patent brainstem lesions.

An open-label comparison of the immunogenicity and tolerability of intranasal and intramuscular formulations of virosomal influenza vaccine in healthy adults

Clin Ther. 2002

Authors: Mario de Bernardi, Zanasi Alessandro, Ragusa Salvatore, Glück Reinhard, Herzog Christian

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Many intramuscular inactivated influenza vaccines achieve suboptimal results in the prevention of respiratory disease and influenza complications. This has led to the current interest in developing effective oral or intranasal preparations.
