LESIONI REVERSIBILI DELL’IPPOCAMPO IN UN CASO DI AMNESIA GLOBALE TRANSITORIA

2013

SCOPO DEL LAVORO: Lo scopo di questo lavoro è documentare un caso di Amnesia Globale Transitoria (Transient Global Amnesia, TGA) in un paziente emicranico di sesso maschile di 52 anni con anamnesi negativa per epilessia, disturbi psichiatrici, traumi ed abusi di sostanze. Saranno inoltre effettuati dei cenni sull’epidemiologia e i meccanismi fisiopatologici oggi più accreditati nella letteratura scientifica più recente di questa controversa sindrome neurologica. MATERIALI E METODI: Poco dopo un forte stress emotivo il paziente non ricordava cosa avesse fatto durante il giorno e ripeteva incessantemente le stesse domande a cui erano comunque state date più volte delle risposte dai colleg…

DESCRIZIONE DI UN CASO DI LESIONE REVERSIBILE DELLO SPLENIO DEL CORPO CALLOSO IN PAZIENTE CON MONONUCLEOSI INFETTIVA DA COINFEZIONE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRU…

2013

SCOPO Presentiamo un caso di encefalite virale con lesione reversibile dello splenio del corpo calloso (SCC) in un ragazzo di 16 anni con mononucleosi infettiva da coinfezione Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) e Citomegalovirus (CMV). MATERIALI E METODI Il paziente, a causa della comparsa improvvisa di stato confusionale, irrigidimento e movimenti involontari alternati a tremori in corso di mononucleosi infettiva, giungeva in PS, dove eseguiva una TC encefalo (Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS+ - 128 strati) in condizioni di base ed in tecnica sequenziale, che non evidenziava reperti significativi. Veniva quindi ricoverato con il sospetto di encefalite virale e, il giorno successivo, veniva sottoposto a…

An Instrument-Assisted coracoid pain test: an exploratory diagnostic accuracy study

2022

The coracoid pain test (CPT) could contribute to the diagnosis of frozen shoulder (FS) with palpation. However, due to assessor performance these values might be unreliable. Therefore, the aim was to explore the diagnostic accuracy of an instrument-assisted CPT and two alternative approaches (pain severity and side comparison) for assistance in the diagnosis of FS. Patients with FS and healthy age-matched controls were recruited. All participants underwent the instrument-assisted CPT on both shoulders with a pressure algometer. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios were determined for the three approaches. In total, 35 patients with FS and 35 healthy participants were included. Th…

Case report of necrotizing sialometaplasia

2010

Introduction: Necrotizing sialometaplasia is a rare inflammatory necrotizing reactive process that can involve minor and major salivary glands. Gland tissue ischaemia has been proposed as the aetiology. Case Report: A 21-year-old woman was referred with a 1-week history of bilateral painful swelling of the palate, with the development of two deep ulcers after the first 3 days. Ulcer edges were elevated but not indurated, and the bases had a necrotic appearance. An incisional biopsy of the margin of one ulcer confirmed the diagnosis of necrotizing sialometaplasia. The ulcers spontaneously healed within 8 weeks without treatment. Discussion: The clinical and histological similarity between th…

Un lessico settoriale estinto: la lingua solfaresca nelle scritture

2019

Le voci di questo lessico di fine Ottocento, ormai spento negli usi concreti e persino dei ricordi degli ultimi zolfarai, è rinvenibile – relativamente ai testi scritti – nelle raccolte folkloriche di canti di miniera, nelle testimonianze diaristiche di tre donne straniere (Chapman, Hamilton-Caico; White Mario), in testi socio-economici, nei registri e verbali tecnici, in qualche testo letterario (Pier Maria Rosso di San Secondo, Luigi Pirandello, Alessio Di Giovanni, Giuseppe Giusti Sinopoli, Andrea Camilleri, Angelo Petix). Nell'articolo ci si concentra sul trattamento fonetico e morfologico di alcune voci, a partire dalle diverse tipologie di testo. In particolare sulle voci carusu (tras…

«Jusqu’à nos désirs, jusqu’aux formes de notre plaisir»: feminism’s development in Les Temps modernes

2017

Les Temps Modernes has been a basic ground for the growth both of the second-wave feminism and of the third-wave one, and has skaken old roles also by questioning traditional longings, as some writings we can (re)read here show: several remarks by Simone de Beauvoir, an article by Colette Audry, an issue of the column Le Sexisme ordinaire.

An attention-based weakly supervised framework for spitzoid melanocytic lesion diagnosis in whole slide images

2021

[EN] Melanoma is an aggressive neoplasm responsible for the majority of deaths from skin cancer. Specifically, spitzoid melanocytic tumors are one of the most challenging melanocytic lesions due to their ambiguous morphological features. The gold standard for its diagnosis and prognosis is the analysis of skin biopsies. In this process, dermatopathologists visualize skin histology slides under a microscope, in a highly time-consuming and subjective task. In the last years, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have emerged as a promising tool that could support pathologists in daily clinical practice. Nevertheless, no automatic CAD systems have yet been proposed for the analysis of spitzoi…

Biological tolerance of different materials in bulk and nanoparticulate form in a rat model: sarcoma development by nanoparticles

2006

In order to study the pathobiological impact of the nanometre-scale of materials, we evaluated the effects of five different materials as nanoparticulate biomaterials in comparison with bulk samples in contact with living tissues. Five groups out of 10 rats were implanted bilaterally for up to 12 months with materials of the same type, namely TiO 2 , SiO 2 , Ni, Co and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), subcutaneously with bulk material on one side of the vertebral column and intramuscularly with nanoparticulate material on the contralateral side. At the end of each implantation time, the site was macroscopically examined, followed by histological processing according to standard techniques. Malign…

Accuracy of an Affordable Smartphone-Based Teledermoscopy System for Color Measurements in Canine Skin

2020

Quality smartphone cameras and affordable dermatoscopes have enabled teledermoscopy to become a popular medical and veterinary tool for analyzing skin lesions such as melanoma and erythema. However, smartphones acquire images in an unknown RGB color space, which prevents a standardized colorimetric skin analysis. In this work, we supplemented a typical veterinary teledermoscopy system with a conventional color calibration procedure, and we studied two mid-priced smartphones in evaluating native and erythematous canine skin color. In a laboratory setting with the ColorChecker, the teledermoscopy system reached CIELAB-based color differences &Delta
