Violenza contro le persone anziane

Abuse against elderly persons is extremely frequent, although very often is not declared, and entails high human and financial costs. There are on the whole three types of abuse including domestic, institutional, and auto inflicted. It is difficult to get enough information to define the real dimension of the problem, but data from the National Elder Abuse Incidence Study (NEAIS) describe an increasing and expanding phenomenon. The large proportions of this type of violence has lead the World Health Organization to propose strategies primarily focused on three points: Awareness, Education en Defence. An important role in the prevention and diagnosis of elderly abuse is in the hands of the p…

Evaluation of Dysphagia and Inhalation Risk in Neurologically Impaired Children Using Esophageal High-Resolution Manometry with Swallowing Analysis

Background: Dysphagia in neurologically impaired children is associated with feeding difficulties, malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia. Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) has been used in the diagnosis of motility disorders affecting the swallowing process. The aim of this study was to analyze swallowing functions in NI children by using HRM in order to establish swallow parameters identifying inhalation risk. Methods: Twenty-five NI children with cerebral palsy were submitted to esophageal HRM with UES analysis, comparing the results with non-NI children. The following parameters were evaluated: maximum pressure and duration of contraction of the velopharynx (VP) and tongue base …

Bronchiectasis In Metaphyseal Acroscyphodysplasia With Cone-Shaped Epiphyses (Bellini Disease): A Five Years Follow Up

We present an adolescent with Metaphyseal acroscyphodysplasia (Bellini disease), characterized by severe short stature with accelerated bone maturation, micromelia predominating in the lower limbs, knee flexion, severe brachydactyly, very short hands and feet, metaphyseal changes and specific radiologic features, cup-shaped distal femoral metaphysis with cone-shaped epiphyses, short hands and feet, dental malocclusion. She presented chronic respiratory infections, with secondary bronchiectasis in the course of the follow up. This is the first case reported in literature of a patient with this extremely rare metaphyseal dysplasia, the Bellini disease, associated with bronchiectasis.

855 Double Blind Placebo Controlled Food Challenge Useful to Disconfirm Over Estimated Diagnosis of Cmpa in Children

Background and aims: The incidence of CMPA in infancy seems to be approximately 3%. In Italy diagnosis of CMPA is often over estimated. The double-blind, placebo controlled food challenge(DBPCFC) is widely considered as the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of food allergy. Methods: 14 patients, (12 months-12 yrs) previously diagnosed as having CMPA, underwent our diagnostic algorithm in order to confirm or to exclude diagnosis. Diagnostic algorithm includes: total blood cell count, serum IgE assay, RAST, betalactotest, Prick by prick with fresh milk, chemical examination and eosinophilic cell count of the stools. DBPCFC was performed with extensively hydrolyzed formula (as placebo) VS a la…
