Electronic Health Record in Italy and Personal Data Protection.
2016
The present article deals with the Italian Electronic Health Record (hereinafter ehr), recently introduced by Act 221/2012, with a specific focus on personal data protection. Privacy issues — e.g., informed consent, data processing, patients’ rights and minors’ will — are discussed within the framework of recent e-Health legislation, national Data Protection Code, the related Data Protection Authority pronouncements and eu law. The paper is aimed at discussing the problems arising from a complex, fragmentary and sometimes uncertain legal framework on e-Health.
La tutela della vulnerabilità in ambito giuridico. Rilevanza del concetto nel contesto della tratta e del traffico di persone migranti
2022
The legal system started to use the word “vulnerability” to provide protection in cases of abuse or need. Understanding the double face of vulnerability, as both universal and individual, may lead us to overcome the traditional liberal paradigm and its idea of indi-viduals independent and autonomous, and finally embrace an idea of legal subject based on his inherent vulnerability. The differences between these paradigms are evident in the fields of migration and human trafficking. This paper proposes to rethink the approach to migration starting from vulnerability.
L'esercizio del potere tra consenso e opposizione nella Sicilia del XIV secolo: il caso dei signori di Sciacca
2021
Il saggio delinea le strategie utilizzate dai Peralta, signori di Sciacca, nell’esercizio e nella gestione del potere, mettendo in luce le forme di consenso che questo generò. Ambito privilegiato di indagine è la corte dei Peralta e le famiglie che seguirono i conti nella ribellione e nella riconciliazione con la Corona, quelle che trassero vantaggi dalla familiarità con i vicari e quelle che, per la loro opposizione, furono ricompensate solo alla morte di Nicola. I riflessi del ruolo assunto dal conte di Caltabellotta sono evidenti anche nell’opera del ministro dei Minori in Sicilia Andrea de Pace di Sciacca che, alla fine del XIV secolo, dedicò il suo Viridarium principum proprio a Nicola…
VALUE OF INFORMED CONSENT IN AESTHETIC DENTAL PROCEDURES
2020
In the last decade there have been an exponential increase in both the supply and demand for non invasive aesthetic procedures involving the face and the lips to contrast age changes in the perioral area. We briefly report the main non invasive aesthetics treatments in which dentists are involved and the professional liability related to the issues of informed consent. To avoid deontological and judiciary consequences the informed consent has to be obtained by the patient before any clinical procedure and documented in medical record. Recently Italian law no. 219/2017 highlighted the principle of autonomy and self-determination of patient and maximizes an optimal relationship between patien…
La vasectomia a sostegno del piacere: analisi casistica e considerazioni medico legali
2012
In Italy, the resort to vasectomy, surgery adapted to determine an irreversible alteration of the physical state of an individual, resulting in the loss of the ability to procreate, is somewhat reduced compared to the others European countries, even though legitimate, it carries the disadvantage of the absence of a clear and univocal legislation concerning surgical sterilization. Despite, in recent years there has been a change in the assessment of such surgery. Nevertheless, is relevant that in the Italian legal system still lacks a regulatory of such medical-surgery activities, although several bills have been submitted to the competent parliamentary bodies. The attitude of indifference t…

Working with Traditional Knowledge: Information for Botanical Fieldwork
2012
Botanical research can often involve access to traditional knowledge, as well as to botanical material held or managed by Indigenous and Local Communities (ILCs). There is a large and growing body of local, national and international laws, declarations and codes of conduct to guide best practice in this area. Researchers and students must be aware of this changing framework before collecting material and information in areas inhabited by ILCs.
