GASTRIC METASTASES ORIGINATING FROM OCCULT BREAST LOBULAR CARCINOMA: DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROBLEMS
Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant tumour to metastasize into the gastrointestinal tract in female and is second only to malignant melanoma. Nevertheless gastrointestinal metastases arising from breast cancer are quite rare. The upper gastrointestinal tract is more frequently involved and lobular infiltrating carcinoma has a greater predilection compared to the ductal type. Case presentation The authors describe the case of a 70 years old woman with a preoperative diagnosis of gastric undifferentiated medullary – type carcinoma, which was the first manifestation of an occult breast carcinoma. The primary site of carcinoma was identified with the use of a panel …

Antitumoral activity of curcumin: an adjuvant therapeutic strategy
Curcumin, an active substance contained in an Indian spice called turmeric or curcuma, is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In recent times, it was taken into account and studied as an antitumoral molecule, by relying on its interference on several biological mechanisms, such as the inhibition of inflammatory mediators, the enhancement of detoxifying enzymes’ action and processes of cell growth and proliferation. Studies show how the high dosage of curcumin in vitro inhibits colorectal tumor cells, pancreatic tumor cells, lung cancer cells and glioblastoma’s cells, interfering in signaling pathways as Wnt/β-catenin, NF-kB and PI3K/Akt and leading to cell cycle…
Maternal representations and risk factors for depression in the migration process.
During pregnancy and after childbirth women develop specific representations, expectations and fantasies about themselves and their children. Pregnancy involves both physical changes and relational and affective ones. The mother’s role is a culturally transmitted element that conveys values, myths and rules; birth can be considered as a cultural event with unique characteristics. A multi-factorial model is useful for tackling motherhood and depressive symptoms in migrant women, before and after delivery. The aim of this study is to analyse the motherhood experience in migrant women; data were collected during pregnancy and after delivery in order to evaluate maternal representation (IRMAG, …

L'IMMAGINE FILMICA NELLA FORMAZIONE: LE NARRAZIONI SULLA VIOLENZA ALL'INFANZIA
Il presente contributo rivolge l’attenzione alle risonanze emotive, alla soggettività di chi affronta il tema della violenza all’infanzia. Lo studio si propone di esplorare i processi attraverso i quali i soggetti, posti all’interno di un gruppo impegnato in attività formativa, organizzano informazioni e costruiscono rappresentazioni sull’abuso sui minori. Il gruppo dei partecipanti all’indagine è composto da 163 soggetti (122 studenti universitari, e 41 professionisti tra cui N = 12 agenti delle Forze dell’ordine e N = 29 operatori sociosanitari) ai quali è stata proposta la visione del film documentario Una storia americana (Capturing the Friedmans, USA 2003). I contenuti delle riflession…
A rare case of perforated ileal diverticulitis in a young man: A case report and literature review
Jejunoileal diverticulosis is a rare, often asymptomatic condition, consisting of acquired false diverticula. Diagnosis of ileal perforation is usually made incidentally or after complications, including obstruction, haemorrhage and diverticulitis. A previously healthy 17-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with diffuse abdominal pain and fever. CT scan showed air-fluid level in the RLQ and free intraperitoneal air and fluid. The patient underwent an urgent exploratory laparotomy with an intestinal resection and primary anastomosis. We report a rare case of ileal perforation, due to diverticular disease in a healthy young man, treated an urgent surgery. Such an event requires…

PROTAGONISTI DELLE RAPPRESENTAZIONI DELL'ABUSO ALL'INFANZIA: ATTORI E CONTESTI
RIASSUNTO. Il modello di ricerca-intervento presentato si riferisce ad un’indagine esplorativa sulle rappresentazioni sociali dell’abuso all’infanzia degli operatori delle forze dell’ordine e socio-assistenziali. L’obiettivo è stato, nello specifico, quello di riconoscere eventuali influenze del sistema di credenze, espresse attraverso stereotipi e pregiudizi, nelle valutazioni delle situazioni di abuso. Le variabili sono rappresentate dall’appartenenza ad una specifica professione ( Forze armate, psicologi, pedagogisti, assistenti sociali) e dalla città presso la quale si svolge tale attività lavorativa (Palermo e Trapani). L’analisi svolta è di tipo qualitativo e si basa sulle risposte li…
