Preoperative Radiochemotherapy and Radical Surgery of Advanced Head and Neck Cancers — Results of a Prospective, Multicenter DÖSAK Study
1994
Present research concerning the efficiacy of therapeutic strategies for squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity and the oropharynx profits from former observational studies. The so-called retrospective German, Austrian, and Swiss Association for Head and Neck Tumors (DOSAK) study (Platz et al. 1986) served to review existing proposals for classification (UICC 1973, 1978; AJC 1978) and to develop a statistical classification which enables the head and neck oncologist to define prognostically homogeneous patient collectives. The treatment-dependent prognostic index (TPI) was the corresponding result (Platz et al. 1982).
Is there any place for PD-1/CTLA-4 inhibitors combination in the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC?—A trial-level meta-analysis in PD-L1 selecte…
2021
BACKGROUND: The advent of immuno-oncology (IO) represented a breakthrough in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapy over the last few years. However, establishing the optimal therapeutic options among programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) selected subgroups still addresses an unmet need in the clinical setting. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and finally included eleven first-line randomized controlled trials to compare efficacy and safety outcomes among first-line IO treatment strategies versus standard platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) according to PD-L1 expression level (<1%, 1–49%, ≥50%). Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and risk ratios (RRs) for progression-free survival (PFS), over…
The Big Meaning of Small Messages: The Use of WhatsApp in Intergenerational Family Communication
2018
This study explores the use of WhatsApp instant messenger in extended families in two countries, Finland and Italy, that represent different family and communication cultures. Qualitative research material was collected in 2014/2015 from families consisting of three or more generations and living either in the same or different households. A directed approach to qualitative content analysis was applied in the analysis of the research data. The results of the study show that WhatsApp is considered to facilitate family interaction across generations. The success of WhatsApp in the family context accounts for two main factors: first, for the possibility to reach the whole family at once; and s…

Etiology, Modalities of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fracture, open reduction and fixation.
2020
Background Zygomatic complex fracture is second most common mid face fracture and frequent amongst the maxillofacial trauma. Fracture pattern ranges from simple to comminuted and from minimally displaced to severely displaced depending on various factors. Material and methods 98 patients with zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture reporting during December 2017 to January 2020 were included in the study. On the basis of radiographic evaluation and computerized tomography scan (CT scan) with 3D reconstruction severity of fracture was assessed and different treatment options were selected. Results Road traffic accident accounted as the leading cause of fracture (57.1%) followed by self-fall (16…
Lip repositioning technique. A simple surgical procedure to improve the smile harmony
2018
Excessive gingival display is an esthetic concern for patients. It is a condition in which an overexposure of the maxillary gingiva (>3mm) is present during smiling. There are different etiologies of a gummy smile, such as vertical maxillary excess, short and hyperactive upper lip, altered passive eruption, anterior dentoalveolar extrusion, or a combination of these causes. The correct diagnosis of all etiologic factors is imperative for its appropriate management. Many techniques have been used to restore the dentogingival relation for the management of gummy smile. Lip repositioning is a conservative surgical technique used to treat excess gingival display. It is a largely unknown treatme…

Vizi privati e pubbliche virtù dei Gerosolimitani di Corleone tra XIV e XV secolo
2018
Il contributo esamina il ruolo degli Ospedalieri a Corleone, grosso centro agricolo della Sicilia, tra l'inchiesta papale del 1373 e la morte del precettore Antonio Taberna (1419). Nel decennio 1378-1388 esponenti di ricche famiglie furono sepolti a S. Giovanni, lasciarono denaro, commissionarono oggetti sacri , dipinti e Bianca de Brancaccio costruì un nuovo ospedale. Il precettore Ruggero Vaccarella migliorò le finanze, ma nel 1399 fu sostituito con Antonio Traversa, esponente di una nota famiglia messinese. Il nuovo precettore si occupò dei beni dell'ordine e rimase in carica fino alla morte, nonostante lo stupro di una fanciulla. This work examines the role of the Hospitallers in Corleo…
