Characterization of the first extended-spectrum b-lactamase–producing nontyphoidal Salmonella strains Isolated in Tehran, Iran
2010
The infections caused by Salmonella remain a significant public health problem throughout the world. b-Lactams and fluoroquinolones are generally used to treat invasive Salmonella infections, but emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant strains are being increasingly notified in many countries. In particular, detection of extended spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) in Salmonella spp. is a newly emerging threat worldwide. This study was carried out to characterize b-lactamase–producing Salmonella strains identified in Tehran, Iran. Over the 2-year period from 2007 to 2008, 6 of 136 Salmonella isolates recovered from pediatrics patients, including three Salmonella enterica serotypes Enteritidi…

Il ruolo delle elezioni nei regimi non democratici iraniano e russo. Osservazioni a margine delle elezioni politiche iraniane del 2020
2020
La ricerca si propone l’obiettivo di verificare le caratteristiche dell’esperienza iraniana e russa all’interno della cornice dell’electoral authoritarianism, al fine di analizzare il ruolo delle elezioni e delle opposizioni, reali e apparenti, all’interno di questi due ordinamenti. Si metterà in evidenza come, seppure con strumenti diversi, si operi un controllo sulle opposizioni, piuttosto che escluderne del tutto l’esistenza, in modo da garantire un pluralismo di facciata. Within the framework of the electoral authoritarianism, the aim of the paper is to analyze the role of elections and opposition parties, systemic and non systemic, in Iran and Russia, exposing how both countries, albei…

Low-altitude outbreaks of human fascioliasis related with summer rainfall in Gilan province, Iran
2011
Following human fascioliasis outbreaks in 1988 and 1999 in Gilan province, northern Iran, efforts are now made to shed light on the seasonal pattern of fascioliasis transmission in this endemic area, taking into account snail host populations, climatic conditions and human cases. Populations of the intermediate host snail (Lymnaea spp.) peak in May and November, while there is a fourfold increase in the rate of human fascioliasis in February compared to that of September. Transmission is likely to occur mainly in late autumn and sporadically in late spring. Rainfall, seasonally analysed in periods of 3 years, indicates that accumulated summer rainfall may be related with the 1988 and 1999 h…
Antibiotic resistance among Shigella serogroups isolated in Tehran, Iran (2002-2004)
2009
Shigellosis, one of the most common bacterial diarrhoeal diseases, is endemic throughout the world. It is one of the major causes of morbidity in children with diarrhoea in Iran [1-4]. Antibiotic therapy is useful and effective for shigellosis. Treatment is critical for persons with severe disease, particularly children and immunosuppressed patients. Use of an appropriate antibiotic therapy can shorten the duration of symptoms, significantly reduce the risk of transmission, and also prevent potentially lethal complications [5-7]. However, high frequencies of resistance in
Vite precarie. Attesa e speranza in Iran
2022
Il volume esamina il senso di precarietà della vita sperimentato dagli iraniani e dalle iraniane nel primo decennio del ventunesimo secolo. La dissoluzione dei legami familiari, la precarietà lavorativa, le disuguaglianze di genere e di classe, un intenso individualismo, un senso di homelessness (mancanza di terra natia): tutti questi fenomeni contribuiscono alla determinazione delle vite precarie. Descritti dalla società come improduttivi e come un peso per la società, le giovani e i giovani iraniani sono sottoposti a una perenne incertezza determinata dal dispositivo dell’attesa, continua e senza fine, che li costringe in una pietrificante immobilità sociale e spaziale. Nelle vite precari…
