CONGENITAL NEUROBLASTOMA: A RARE CASE OF PLURIVISCERAL METASTATIC DISSEMINATION
2021
Neuroblastoma is one of the most common neonatal tumors. It involves children in early infancy and originates from neural crest cells of the adrenal gland medulla or sympathetic glia. We report an unusual case of congenital poorly differentiated neuroblastoma with multiple metastases in the brain and cerebellum. The biophysical profile showed a prominent polyhydramnios at 25.3 weeks of gestation; meantime, the mother was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The mass was detected during the third ultrasonographic examination at 31.4 weeks of gestation. The fetus lived only one day after birth and the postmortem examinations were performed subsequently. An autopsy was performed both to unders…
WORK ACTIVITIES AT INCREASED RISK OF TRAUMATIC INJURIES: AN INTEGRATED PREVENTIVE APPROACH
2022
Included in the scope of workplace safety is that relating to potential accidents, i.e. the harmful consequences for human health crossed with the work environment factor. In the study of the determinism of these accidental events, it is important to achieve a biomechanical balance between two main elements: the human and the work environment (consisting of the physical, chemical and environmental factors, i.e. the equipment and what generates its use). Considering the most recent statistically recorded incidents, our analysis has focused on the accident sphere proper, where an imbalance in the above-mentioned binomial triggers the activation of multiple disciplines that actively and pro-ac…

Retrospective study on the comparison of out-of-hospital and in-hospital sudden cardiovascular death: An italian experience
2015
A retrospective study of forensic autopsies was carried out in the time interval January 2007 to December 2012 at the Forensic Pathology Service, Catania, south Italy, with a reference population of 3 000 000 inhabitants. During the study period, 1346 forensic autopsies were performed, including 223 (16.57%) sudden/unexpected deaths. Among the latter, 116 fulfilled the criteria of out-of-hospital (Group A) and 107 were in-hospital (Group B) sudden/unexpected deaths with suspected medical malpractice and/or a professional liability claim. In Group A, coronary artery disease was the most common cause of death (N=67; 57.65 %), followed by cardiomyopathies (N=19, 16.38%) and myocarditis (N= 6; …

L’etica dei percorsi diagnostico-riabilitativi della madre assassina
2013
L'infanticidio è un delitto che provoca come pochi altri riprovazione e allarme sociale, con forte eco mediatico; l'opinione pubblica è messa di fronte al fatto che l'istinto materno “non è innato” (Pannitteri, 2006)1 e che le funzioni materne non sono sempre protettive. Il caso della madre infanticida è anche uno spunto di riflessione sulla relazione medico-paziente. L’approccio psichiatrico-forense, come quello clinico, presuppone una relazione autentica e significativa, il più possibile scevra da errori di interpretazione e da dinamiche contro-transferali, quali reazioni emotive di diffidenza e stigmatizzazione nei confronti del reo, che ostacolano il comprendere psicologico e psicopatol…

Two cases of intra-pericardic dissection in Turner's syndrome women
2011
Turner's syndrome is a genetic partial or complete monosomy of sexual chromosome X; therefore women affected by Turner's syndrome have 45 (XO) caryotype. In 15% of the cases Trner's syndrome is associated with cardiac congenital malformations, the most frequent anomalies are the aortic coartaction and the defect of interventricular septum. The authors introduce two cases of deceased women affected by Turner's syndrome caused by intrapericardic dissection of the ascending aorta.
