Forensic Microbiology: A Case Series Analysis
2019
The importance of microbial colonization of human organs in a living body has long been assessed. What still remains unclear are the microbial changes occurring after death, thus leading to the advent of a relatively novel field of research called “Postmortem microbiology”. It is applied to several forensic fields such as post-mortem interval assessment and cause of death determination. In this contest, a major limit is thus represented by the correct interpretation of the microbial data and by the actual lack of standard procedures. Here we propose a standard operative protocol in order to avoid false positives given by contamination (the main problem), post-mortem translocation and agonal…
Scritti in onore di Pellegrino Capaldo
2014
La qualità dei servizi è stata riconosciuta come un rilevante aspetto caratterizzante la performance dell’azienda pubblica, analogamente alla capacità di operare secondo criteri di efficienza e nel rispetto dei vincoli di bilancio. Sebbene sia possibile riscontrare alcuni significativi casi di adozione di politiche di customer satisfaction nelle amministrazioni pubbliche italiane, a tutt’oggi il tema presenta significative criticità, specialmente in ordine agli aspetti metodologici e agli strumenti operativi che consentano di integrare dette politiche nel sistema di programmazione e controllo delle aziende che erogano tali servizi. Il presente lavoro adotta una diversa prospettiva di analis…
Effects of sewage sludge addition to Norway spruce seedlings on nitrogen availability and soil fauna in clear-cut areas
2012
Anaerobically digested and composted sewage sludge (CSS) has been suggested to be a slow-release fertilizer in forestry and an alternative to quick-release inorganic fertilizers. The effects of CSS with or without added carbohydrate on inorganic nitrogen availability and on soil animals were tested in two Norway spruce plantations. Half of the seedlings were individually fertilized with CSS, and the rest were left as controls. Solid sucrose was added to half of the fertilized and untreated seedlings. Soil samples were taken in the autumn in the first and the second year after the treatments. CSS increased soil NH4-N (2100%), the proportion of soil NO3-N, and the N concentration of spruce ne…
Italian survey on the residents' surgical level in gynecology and obstetrics
2020
Purpose: The present study aims to investigate the number of surgical procedures performed by Italian residents and their confidence to carry out different surgeries in obstetrics and gynecology. Methods: The present study is a national survey including all Italian gynecology and obstetrics senior residents. A questionnaire including 25 questions was provided. The free Google Forms site was used to create the survey. The study was conducted from April to October 2019. The survey started from the University Hospital of Parma, a tertiary hospital, and was sent to all the Italian post-graduation medical school in gynecology and obstetrics. An e-mail was sent to all representative residents in …
Laparoscopic Epigastric Hernia Repair
2016
Epigastric hernias are midline abdominal wall defects located between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process that do not resolve spontaneously. Symptomatic hernias require surgical repair.

The role of MR imaging in the assessment of renal allograft vasculature.
2018
Renal allograft dysfunction after transplantation is a relatively common occurrence with various potential etiologies. Vascular etiologies are of particular importance as early surgical or minimally invasive intervention can, in some cases, salvage the graft. Diagnosis of vascular pathology resulting in allograft dysfunction requires a thorough workup, of which imaging is a key component. Generally, ultrasound is the first-line imaging modality. More recently, MRI has been shown to be an effective and safe modality for diagnosis of vascular pathology after renal transplantation, particularly for diagnosis of transplant renal artery stenosis. This review will summarize imaging modalities tha…

Long-term outcome after drug-eluting stents implantation: Target lesion versus nontarget lesion repeated intervention
2010
Abstract We sought to investigate the relative clinical significance of target and nontarget lesions repeated percutaneous coronary intervention (re-PCI) in patients implanted with drug-eluting stents (DES). Out of 2626 consecutive DES patients, we retrospectively selected 166 (6.3%; 123 males, aged 65±10years) who had a clinically-driven re-PCI over a mean follow-up of 15months. Seventy-five patients (45%) underwent the second procedure for disease progression in nontarget lesions (nontarget lesion re-PCI group) while 91 (55%) showed target lesion in-stent restenosis or thrombosis (target lesion re-PCI group), with no significant intergroup difference in the temporal trends of re-PCI. The …
Integrazione di celle fotovoltaiche ibride nel vetromattone
2012
L’invenzione riguarda l’integrazione del vetromattone con celle solari ibride (organiche/inorganiche), conosciute come Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSC). La combinazione del vetromattone con le DSC consente di migliorare le prestazioni del prodotto originario rendendolo in grado di produrre energia pulita. Le caratteristiche di trasparenza e isolamento termo-acustico del prodotto possono essere regolate agendo sulla configurazione delle DSC. Il prodotto può essere assemblato a formare pannelli fotovoltaici per la realizzazione di facciate traslucide energeticamente “attive” in varie condizioni luminose (condizioni di luce diffusa o artificiale) e indipendentemente dall’angolo di radiazione so…
