Phobos, incantamento e catarsi. Alcune riflessioni su ascolto dell’aulos e tragedia.
2009
The power of the aulos and its therapeutic effects on the soul are so emblematic for the Greeks that, on the one hand, they made this instrument and its sounds into a metaphor of persuasion and, on the other, they emphasized its upsetting effects, as happens for instance in some tragedies. The aulos sometimes contributes to the development of a drama, and may play a role in the development of tragic catharsis by reminding the audience of the cathartic Dionysiac rites. In this way, tragedy seems to have performed a meaningful ‘therapeutic’ effect on the emotions of the theatre audience.
A novel device for intracolonoscopy cleansing of inadequately prepared colonoscopy patients: a feasibility study.
2019
Abstract Background The importance of high quality preprocedural bowel preparation is widely acknowledged, but suboptimal bowel cleansing still occurs in up to 20 % of all colonoscopy patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a novel intraprocedural cleaning device for cleaning poorly prepared colons. Methods This multicenter feasibility study included patients aged 18 – 75 years who were referred for colonoscopy. Intraprocedural cleaning was performed in patients after a limited preprocedural bowel preparation regimen (2 days of dietary restrictions and 2 × 10 mg bisacodyl). The primary outcome was the proportion of adequately prepared patients (Boston Bowel Prepar…
Einflu� eines diphenolischen Laxans (Bisacodyl) auf den Wasser- und Elektrolyttransport im menschlichen Colon
1974
Bei 5 Versuchspersonen wurde die Wirkung von Bisacodyl auf die Wasser- und Elektrolytbewegungen im menschlichen Colon untersucht. Das Colon wurde durch eine Sonde perfundiert, die in das Coecum plaziert wurde. Die Perfusionslosung enthielt NaCl (140 maq/l) als Chlorid und Bicarbonat und K (2,8 maq/l) als Chlorid sowie14C-Polyathylenglykol als Marker. Sie wurde mit einer Rate von 10 ml/min perfundiert und uber ein Darmrohr im Rectum wieder aufgefangen.
Entre la realidad y la ficción, la razón y la locura: el drama coral como terapia individual y social
2017
Desde la función política de la tragedia griega, las diferentes formas dramáticas occidentales han asumido de manera más o menos explícita unas funciones del espectáculo dramático que integran bajo distintas acepciones la pretendida kátharsis aristotélica, en ocasiones para rechazarla y evitarla, que incluso van más allá del prodesse et delectare horaciano, tendiendo hacia una función terapéutica individual y social en unas formas dramáticas de elevado trasfondo coral en las que los límites entre realidad y ficción, entre cordura y locura se difuminan hasta llegar a confundirse, en las que la llamada “cuarta pared” deja de existir. El objeto de este trabajo es realizar un breve recorrido po…
Per una buona psicoanalisi dell’arte: Vygostskij e il Mosè di Freud
2012
The aim of this article is to show that Vygotskijan and Freudian positions on the psychological analysis of art move from a similar conception of art and of human mind. To demonstrate our thesis we have substantially used two works: Vygostkij’s Psychology of art and Freud’s Moses of Michelangelo. We consider that, in spite of the critic that Vygostkij makes against the psychoanalytic approach to the products of art, probably for historic reasons, the importance that he gives to the notion of form, of social context and of conscious factors in artistic creations is the same that Freud gives in his applied psychoanalysis, and this is clear in the essay on Moses. In particular, if we concentra…
Il fondamento epistemologico della psicoanalisi freudiana nei casi clinici del 1895
2019
Nel rivolgere lo sguardo all’intera produzione di Sigmund Freud, in primo luogo la memoria storica suggerisce di prestare attenzione al contenuto de L’interpretazione dei sogni (del 1899) e di Al di là del principio di piacere (del 1920). Il testo di queste due opere denota l’evoluzione epistemologica della ricerca svolta dal padre della psicoanalisi, sino a giungere alle opere della maturità. I concetti di «isteria», «ipnosi» e «metodo catartico » consentono di riscontrare l’assunzione definitiva del metodo maieutico, esposto negli scritti della maturità e degli ultimi anni. Mi riferisco in particolare, oltre a La negazione (del 1925), soprattutto a Analisi terminabile e interminabile e Co…

Heterologous expression of aRauvolfiacDNA encoding strictosidine glucosidase, a biosynthetic key to over 2000 monoterpenoid indole alkaloids
2002
Strictosidine glucosidase (SG) is an enzyme that catalyses the second step in the biosynthesis of various classes of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids. Based on the comparison of cDNA sequences of SG from Catharanthus roseus and raucaffricine glucosidase (RG) from Rauvolfia serpentina, primers for RT-PCR were designed and the cDNA encoding SG was cloned from R. serpentina cell suspension cultures. The active enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Analysis of its deduced amino-acid sequence assigned the SG from R. serpentina to family 1 of glycosyl hydrolases. In contrast to the SG from C. roseus, the enzyme from R. serpentina is predicted to lack an uncleavable N…
Association of mechanical bowel preparation with oral antibiotics and anastomotic leak following left sided colorectal resection: an international, m…
2018
INTRODUCTION: The optimal bowel preparation strategy to minimise the risk of anastomotic leak is yet to be determined. This study aimed to determine whether oral antibiotics combined with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP+Abx) was associated with a reduced risk of anastomotic leak when compared to mechanical bowel preparation alone (MBP) or no bowel preparation (NBP).METHODS: A pre-planned analysis of the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) 2017 Left Sided Colorectal Resection audit was performed. Patients undergoing elective left sided colonic or rectal resection with primary anastomosis between 1 January 2017 and 15 March 2017 by any operative approach were included. The primary out…
Music and Medicine
2020
The relationship between music and medicine involves the notions of affinity between the human body and musical structures, relief, catharsis and therapy. The Homeric poems attest to the use of healing songs (paeans) and spells (epaoidai). The early Pythagoreans used musical catharsis for both the soul and the body. The doctrine of musical ēthos (whose main source is Plato) presupposes a relationship between music and character based on mimēsis, also establishing a link between therapy and ēthos. According to Aristotle, melodies performed in the rites are able to arou-se the emotions and purify from their excesses (the same dynamics appear in Theophrastus). The musical notions first detecta…
