La libertà tra determinismo naturale e determinismo teologico: Il De servo arbitrio di Lutero
L'articolo analizza il rapporto tra determinismo naturale e storico da un lato e determinismo teologico dall'altro, così come Lutero lo affronta nel De servo arbitrio, a partire dalla sua concreta esperienza di fede. L'articolo cerca di mostrare come l'idea di determinismo di Lutero sia escludente l’opposta idea d’indeterminazione, ragion per cui egli rifiuta la concezione della libertà come libertas indifferentiae, ma non la contingenza degli eventi e quindi neppure l'autodeterminazione dell'uomo. Nell'articolo si mostra come la posizione di Lutero al riguardo sia stata accolta da Leibniz e da Hegel. The article analyzes the relationship between natural and historical determinism on the on…
Approccio eutanasico e palliativo al fine vita
L'articolo intende mostrare le aporie che inficiano l'ultimo documento della commissione di bioetica delle Chiese italiane valdese, metodista e battista, nel legittimare l'eutanasia, e nel ritenere non sufficiente la via della sedazione terminale continua e profonda. L'articolo mostra che alla base di quella scelta opera il presupposto aporetico della bioetica di Engelhart, che traccia un’astratta linea di separazione tra comunità e società.
Italian cancer figures, report 2014: Prevalence and cure of cancer in Italy
This Report intends to estimate the total number of people still alive in 2010 after cancer diagnosis in Italy, regardless of the time since diagnosis, and to project these estimates to 2015. This study is also aimed to estimate the number of already cured cancer patients, whose mortality rates have become undistinguishable from that of the general population of the same age and sex.The study took advantage of the information from the AIRTUM database, which included 29 Cancer Registries (covering 21 million people, 35% of the Italian population). A total of 1,624,533 cancer cases diagnosed between 1976 and 2009 contributed to the study. For each registry, the observed prevalence was calcula…
Early outcomes and complications following cardiac surgery in patients testing positive for coronavirus disease 2019: An international cohort study
The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus-2, the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in December 2019 represented a global emergency accounting for more than 2.5 million deaths worldwide.1 It has had an unprecedented influence on cardiac surgery internationally, resulting in cautious delivery of surgery and restructuring of services.2 Understanding the influence of COVID-19 on patients after cardiac surgery is based on assumptions from other surgical specialties and single-center studies. The COVIDSurg Collaborative conducted a multicenter cohort study, including 1128 patients, across 235 hospitals, from 24 countries demonstrating perioperative COVID-19 infection…
Lo spessore metafisico dell'esperienza d'essenza
Il saggio si propone di evidenziare l’operatività, nella prospettiva di un’ontologia fenomenologica e dialettica, del nesso tra fenomeno ed essenza a partire dal reciproco implicarsi del visibile e dell’invisibile, e come alla luce della sua tematizzazione attuata da Merleau-Ponty sia possibile riprendere l’eredità vivente della metafisica.
Incidence trends of colorectal cancer in the early 2000s in Italy. Figures from the IMPATTO study on colorectal cancer screening
We utilised the IMPATTO study's archives to describe the 2000-2008 colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence rate trends in Italy, once screening programmes based on the faecal immunochemical test were implemented in different areas. Data on CRCs diagnosed in Italy from 2000 to 2008 in subjects aged 40-79 years were collected by 23 cancer registries. Incidence rate trends were evaluated as a whole and by macro-area (North-Centre and South-Islands), presence of a screening programme, sex, ten-year age class, anatomic site, stage at diagnosis, and pattern of diagnosis (screen-detected, non-screen-detected). The annual percent change (APC) of incidence rate trends, with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI…

Anastomotic leaks after anterior resection for mid and low rectal cancer: survey of the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery.
BACKGROUND: The aim of the survey was to assess the incidence of anastomotic leaks (AL) and to identify risk factors predicting incidence and gravity of AL after low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer performed by colorectal surgeons of the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR). METHODS: Information about patients with rectal cancers less than 12 cm from the anal verge who underwent LAR during 2005 was collected retrospectively. AL was classified as grade I to IV according to gravity. Fifteen clinical variables were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. Further analysis was conducted on patients with AL to identify factors correlated with gravity. RESULTS: There …
