ADVANCEMENT CHEEK FLAP FOR A SINGLE STAGE RECONSTRUCTION OF POST-ONCOLOGICAL NASAL SIDEWALL LARGE DEFECTS 
2013
Objective: Reconstruction of soft tissue nasal sidewall loss has an important influence on the appearance of the nose. Numerous techniques are described in the literature but a primary reconstruction with a final good result is not often possible. The authors present an advancement cheek flap for a single-stage reconstruction of post-oncological nasal sidewall large defects. Methods: Between January 2009 and July 2012, sixteen patients with age ranged between 54 and 74 years underwent excision of skin tumors of the nasal sidewall and immediate reconstruction with an advancement cheek flap nourished by perforators from the facial branch of the superficial temporal artery. The defects size ra…
PEDICLED PERFORATOR FLAPS IN NASAL RECONSTRUCTION: A REVIEW
2014
The use of perforator flaps in face reconstruction is becoming increasingly common. They are particularly useful in nose reconstruction, where they can be tailored to match the complex three-dimensional structure of the nasal concave and convex subunits. In this paper, we present a review of the literature on the use of pedicled perforator flaps in nose reconstruction, discussing current indications and outcomes. Literature on this topic is still limited, with only 12 studies reporting data on 129 reconstructions. Reconstruction of nasal defects with pedicled perforator flaps is a novel and expanding field. It allows for the achievement of good aesthetic results, with a single operation and…

The 1947 Meat Shortage and Modigliani’s Meat Plan: The Shaping of Public Economic Discourse in Postwar America
2010
This paper aims to assess Modigliani’s contribution to the American post war debate over price controls and economic stabilization. We will focus on his unpublished “Plan for meeting the domestic meat shortage without price control and rationing”. Elaborated by Modigliani in the Summer of 1947 the plan was designed to cope with meat shortage arising from crop failures aggravated by the implementation of the European Recovery Program. It was based on a system of taxes and subsidies aiming to realize a proper distribution of disposable income and to warrant a minimum meat consumption without encroaching market mechanisms and consumers’ freedom. In the paper we will describe the contents of th…

Economic Logic with Internal Consistency (and Not Only Formal Rigour)
2022
As is well known, during his life Sraffa never published a work explicitly devoted to epistemological issues. This fact should not be interpreted to indicate Sraffa’s lack of interest in such concerns. From Sraffa’s unpublished manuscripts – kept at the Wren Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, and from the books of his personal library – we see that Sraffa had a strong interest in questions of philosophy of 8science (Kurz and Salvadori, 2005). Therefore, a reconstruction of Sraffa’s epistemological theory can only be conjectural and must not leave out of consideration his unpublished manuscripts. In a previous work (Salvadori and Signorino, 2007), we analysed a specific aspect of Sraffa’…
The postwar economic order. National reconstruction and international cooperation
2022
Albert O. Hirschman wrote the reports collected in this book while in the employ of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Almost all of them appeared in the Review of Foreign Developments, which ran from 1945 to 1975. The reports, which were usually marked “Confidential” or “Restricted,” are now in the public domain but remain the intellectual creations of Hirschman.*
ALBERT O. HIRSCHMAN AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE, 1946–1952
2022
This essay introduces the work conducted by Albert O. Hirschman at the Federal Reserva Bank. His main areas of interest, on which he produce original research, were European postwar reconstruction and integration; country studies (Italy and France, particularly), alternative modes of economic development; the role of the US in assisting reconstruction and development.
