Adrano, Efesto e i Palici. Culti, interazioni etniche e middle ground nella Sicilia antica
2015
Stranieri o nativi che fossero (εἴτε εἶεν ξένοι εἴτε ἐπιχώριοι), coloro che si accostavano ai santuari dei Palici, di Adrano e di Efesto assumevano un atteggiamento ricettivo e fiducioso, effetto di una strategia “macroretorica” che offriva forme di transazione e di mediazione in un quadro diffuso di conflittualità tra individui e tra gruppi. In questo volume, il ricorso al modello interpretativo del middle ground e al concetto di “porosità” culturale mostra che sia le comunità indigene sia quelle greche si ridefinivano in modi differenti nei diversi contesti spazio-temporali e adattavano la propria struttura identitaria alle più svariate circostanze: dal punto di vista di una “ecologia cul…

L’esilio al femminile. Neue Frauen oltreoceano
2020
The essay offers an overview of the experience of exile of a group of German and Austrian female writers (Adrienne Thomas, Irmgard Keun, Victoria Wolff, Gina Kaus and Vicki Baum), who had been a symbol of the so–called Neue Frau in the Twenties and emigrated after the rise of National Socialism. From an autobiographical point of view the reconstruction of their experience of exile, which sometimes include common stations (Vienna, Paris, the crossing of the Atlantic, Hollywood and, in some cases, the return to Europe), allows to compare their careers and to find out breaks and possible lines of continuity in the process of their literary affirmation and social emancipation which had begun in…
La Sicilia e la controversia dell'Adriatico
2014
Tra il 1616 e il 1618 la Monarchia spagnola e la Repubblica di Venezia si ritrovarono coinvolte, seppur indirettamente, in uno scontro nell’area adriatica. La disputa – le cui origini vanno rintracciate in un precedente conflitto fra la Serenissima e l’Arciduca Ferdinando di Stiria – coinvolse i territori italiani della Monarchia, che parteciparono attivamente al controllo dell’area mediterranea. Il saggio si propone sia di evidenziare il ruolo assunto dalla Sicilia nella difesa del Mare Nostrum e nella creazione di un blocco capace di impedire il passaggio delle imbarcazioni olandesi, sia di mettere in luce le contrapposizioni e i conflitti giurisdizionali che in tale frangente intercorser…

Adrenal incidentaloma: case report and synthesis of indication and thresholds of surgery therapy].
2010
With the term of incidental mass, any mass is identified, occasionally discovered with imaging techniques, in the absence of specific symptoms. In 1982, the term "incidentaloma" was introduced to indicate lesions detected on adrenal regions, found unexpectedly. The incidence percentages vary from 0.6%-3% in CT followed by other indications , to 10% and 25% in all patients who underwent an ultrasound, CT or MRI. An appropriate diagnostic protocol is mandatory to identify and to choose the proper treatment for the functioning lesions, as well as the malignant or potentially malignant lesions (1, 2). Incidentalomas with diameters under 1 cm seem to not have a pathologic significance, and are c…
Adrenal cavernous hemangioma: which correct decision making process?
2016
Introduction: Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare benign tumor characterized by the presence of blood-fil- led, dilated vascular spaces. These adrenal masses are usually non-functioning and the patients have no symptoms so the diagnosis is incidental. Methods: We performed a systematic literature review for all articles published until April 2015. The initial search identified 98 publications. We considered some characteristics: the mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 59 years (range 19 - 84); there were approximately 1.7 times more female patients than male patients; mean diameter of the lesions was 10.3 cm (range 2 - 25). Surgical treatment was more often open with m…
LAPAROSCOPIC ADRENALECTOMY: SINGLE CENTRE EXPERIENCE.
2013
Objective: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is today considered the gold standard treatment for all benign adrenal tumors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in a single centre. Methods: We reviewed clinical data on 32 adrenalectomies performed at our istitution from 2009 to 2012. The average age of patients was 47 years (range 38-68); 18 were men and 14 women. For the clinical analysis, patients were divided into the nonfunctioning tumor group (n = 20) and the functioning tumor group (n = 12). All operations were performed via transperitoneal lateral access. Results: All laparoscopic adrenalectomy were finished successfully and no open surgery was nece…
Laparoscopic management of adrenal tumors: A four-year experience in a single center
2014
AIM: Today laparoscopy is considered the first choice treatment of many adrenal tumors, although its use is still controversial for large adrenal masses and incidentally found adrenal cortical carcinoma. METHODS: From January 2009 to February 2014 we performed 42 lateral transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomies. The indications for surgery were non-functioning adenoma larger than 4 cm or rapid growth and hormone-secreting tumor. The diagnosis was confirmed in all cases with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and also metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy if pheochromocytoma was suspected. In all cases we realized a complete preoperative hormonal study. We describe and ana…
FAMILY LAW, RELIGIOUS MARRIAGE AND SHARIA COURTS IN WESTERN SOCIETIES. ONE COMPARATIVE INSIGHT ON THE ENGLISH MODEL
2017
Liberal versions of multiculturalism suggest the need to adopt legal solutions to the recognition and support of minority groups, thus the recognition of cultural or collective rights, which must meet though certain limitations and precautions to protect the freedom of individuals within groups. On the judicial level, this may mean that the courts, in applying the law, take into account foreign standards, as well as principles and rules of its domestic law to assemble a third concrete norm, new with respect to the rules and principles of the systems considered. In this study the issues outlined so far will be addressed by analysing, in short, the role and influence of the Sharia Courts and …
