Carrying the Red Man's Burden: Pavel Luknitskii, or Kipling in the Soviet Pamir
2018
Kipling’s work in the Soviet Union was heavily criticized as an expression of imperialism; yet, it was widely read and translated – it was clearly more acceptable than that of Nikolai Gumilev, “the Kipling from Tsarskoe Selo”, a purported counter-revolutionary whose name itself was forbidden. This explains the apparent contradictions in the image of Pavel Luknitskii – from one side, a scholar of Gumilev, from the other, an official Soviet writer. His novel Nisso (1946), based on his travels in the Pamir, is a classic of Soviet literature about the Asian republics. The novel’s plot is built around a classic Colonial triangle, mixed with a typical Soviet collectivization story. The setting pu…
L'Isola Imperiale : Intellettuali e fascismo (1936-1946)
2017
Fatto l’impero, con la conquista fascista dell’Etiopia nel 1936, bisognava fare gli imperialisti. Per trascinare il paese in questa palingenesi miracolosa, il fascismo rinsaldava l’alleanza con la Chiesa, si emancipava dalla diarchia con la corona, concentrava su di sé il comando militare, cercava una nuova formula costituzionale dello Stato che gli permettesse di «durare», metteva su il progetto di un nuovo stato delle regioni, dava inizio al sistema giuridico della diseguaglianza razzista e antisemita, abbandonava quel che restava della legalità dello Statuto sostituendolo con il principio della volontà del duce, cercava di ritornare alle origini radicale dando l’assalto al latifondo e in…

COLORECTAL CANCER AND INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES: EFFECTS ON DIET AND ANTIOXIDANTS
2017
It is well established that oxidative stress is common in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Accordingly, antioxidants are recommended for treatment. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of antioxidants contained in the various types of tea on symptoms and evolution of IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC). Analysis of the literature revealed that the theaflavin-3, 30-digallate (TFDG) contained in black tea, and epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) contained in green tea have protective effects against oxidative stress. Moreover, these substances are involved in many biochemical processes responsible for inflammation and proliferation of cancer cells. It is documented that both TFDG an…
DYSBIOSIS, INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE AND COLON CANCER: THERE IS A CORRELATION?
2017
Dysbiosis has been linked to IBD. The intestinal microbiota plays a fundamental role in health and the progression of diseases such as IBD and CRC. Many cancers arise from sites of infection and chronic inflammation. Patients with inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have an increased risk of 10%-15% developing colorectal cancer. Therefore, a complete understanding of the composition and function of the gut microbiota is critical.
L'impiego del linfonodo sentinella nel carcinoma del colon-retto. Considerazioni e proposta di tecnica
2013
La via linfatica è una delle principali vie di diffusione metastatica di molte neoplasie. I linfonodi sono gli "snodi" di questo intricato sistema e in alcuni distretti assumono il ruolo di veri e propri check point, meglio ancora di "sentinella", in quanto il loro mancato coinvolgimento nella diffusione metastatica sembrerebbe poter escludere l'interessamento di quelli posti a monte. L'applicazione della tecnica di ricerca e identificazione del linfonodo sentinella, comunemente impiegata nei casi di melanoma e cancro della mammella, anche al carcinoma del colon-retto ha suscitato molto interesse ma, nonostante i molti studi compiuti al riguardo, non sono stati ancora ottenuti risultati tal…
LA MALATTIA DIVERTICOLARE
2013
La malattia diverticolare è una patologia piuttosto frequente nella popolazione occidentale. E' stimato che il 30-40% dei pazienti sottoposti ad indagini strumentali sull'apparato digerente presentino diverticoli al colon. Questi, nel 75% dei casi sono del tutto asintomatici. la diverticolosi appare strettamente connessa allo stile di vita ed alle abitudini alimentari tipiche dei paesi occidentali. a seguito di questa preferenza geografica, gli autori anglosassoni definiscono questa condizione patologica "a disease of western civilization". La diverticolosi insorge solitamente nei soggetti adulti, il trend della malattia aumenta proporzionalmente con l'età; pur tuttavia, negli ultimi anni a…
Validity of shape memory NiTi colon ring BioDynamix ColonRingTM (or NiTi CAR 27TM) to prevent anastomotic colorectal strictures. Preliminary results
2012
PURPOSE: Anastomotic strictures occur in 3-30% of colorectal anastomosis and one of the main causes may be a reaction to the presence of the metal staples used for suturing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a compression anastomosis ring using the memory shaped device in initial, i.e. nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) for the prevention of colorectal anastomotic strictures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A compression anastomosis ring device (NiTi CAR 27) was used to perform compression anastomosis in 20 patients underwent left hemicolectomy and anterior resection of the rectum for carcinoma. An endoscopic check of the anastomosis was carried out at one month and at six months after …
Multiple Congenital Colonic Stenosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature
2015
Congenital malformations affecting the colon are rare pediatric conditions often presenting as obstruction. Colonic atresia accounts for 5-‐10% of atresia in newborns, stenosis is even more rare.Since 1968, only 16 cases of CCS have been reported in literature (Table 1). Because of the rarity of the disease, little is known about this uncommon condition and management is still controversial. We present a case of multiple congenital colonic stenosis and review the literature with a special focus on management of CCS. To the authors' knowledge, multiple congenital colonic stenosis has not been reported previously in the literature.
