Il primato della vista e quello dell’udito nella Grecia Antica

2021

Tra i cinque sensi, la vista e l’udito, secondo i Greci, hanno uno statuto particolare perché risultano i più adatti a produrre conoscenza. Per tutta una tradizione di pensiero, poi, tra i due, è la vista, in quanto senso attivo, a detenere il primato rispetto al passivo e ‘femmineo’ udito. Ma esiste anche una linea culturale che rileva l’elemento di superiorità dell’udito sulla vista: il fatto di permettere una conoscenza cumulativa all’interno di un orizzonte spaziale e temporale più ampio, e di vincolare gli individui socialmente. Infatti, nell’udito, ognuno (ogni orecchio) dipende da un altro (dalla bocca parlante di un altro, o dalla bocca propria che legge, ad alta voce, il testo scri…

Cocleo-labirintopatie nel bambino. Come non perdere l'equilibrio.

2021

Cochleo-labyrinthopathy (CL) is an affection that involves cochlea and vestibular system. It occurs with the association of auditory symptoms (sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus), vestibular symptoms (objective vertigo, unidirectional horizontal-rotary nystagmus and static or dynamic balance disorders) and neurovegetative signs (nausea, vomiting, pallor, sweating, etc.). The diagnosis may be difficult in paediatric age since the child is unable to clearly express their discomfort and symptoms. Multiple causes have been recognized but, in acute cases, infection is the most frequent etiological agent. The paper describes a case of CL due to Herpes Virus 1-2 infection responsive to acyclo…

Accumulation of sensory difficulties predicts fear of falling in older women

2013

Objectives: To explore whether the accumulation of sensory difficulties predicts fear of falling (FOF), and whether the traits correlate with each other regardless of familial factors. Methods: Self-reported hearing, vision and balance difficulties, and FOF were assessed using structured questionnaires at the baseline and after a 3-year follow-up in 63- to 76-year-old women (n = 434). Results: Among the women without FOF at baseline (n = 245), 41% reported FOF at follow-up. Increasing numbers of sensory difficulties at baseline predicted higher incidence of FOF. The relationship between accumulated sensory difficulties and FOF was not mediated by familial factors. Discussion: The accumulati…

Evaluation of lateral ankle instability with weight-bearing MRI. Preliminary Experience

2009

PURPOSE/INTRODUCTION: To assess the usefulness of weight-bearing examination of the ankle performed with a dedicated MRI scanner in the evaluation of patients with clinical evidence of lateral ankle instability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated ankle MR examinations of 18 patients, performed between September 2008 and January 2009. Spin echo T1W, Turbo Spine Echo T2W, 3D Steady-State (SSE) and Short Tau Inversion Recovery (STIR) images were acquired with a 0.2 T scanner (G-Scan, Esaote Spa, Genoa, Italy) in both weight-bearing position and normal conventional supine position. A dedicated extremities receiver coil was used. If present, signs of instability and ligament sig…

Samodzielność dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym

2017

Self-reliance is a feature which develops with age and whose scope expands alongside. It is, at the same time, a developmental need of each person, manifesting itself in a child’s steady effort to take action in an individual way that is independent of the environment. Meanwhile, adults often limit the child in its experiencing different situations, through relieving it of performing actions or taking it off completing them. Reasons for such behaviors vary: overprotection and excessive care, anxiety about the child, being in a hurry, which does not allow waiting for the child to bring the commenced action to the end. Wise rearing means resignation from relieving children, imposing requireme…

Rearing background and exposure environment together explain higher survival of aquaculture fish during a bacterial outbreak

2019

1.Parasitic diseases represent one of the greatest challenges for aquaculture worldwide and there is an increasing emphasis on ecological solutions to prevent infections. One proposed solution is enriched rearing, where traditional stimulus‐poor rearing tanks are equipped with different types of structures to increase habitat complexity. Such spatial enrichment is known to increase survival of fish during parasite epidemics, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. 2.We studied whether enriched rearing affected infection of an important fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare in young Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and sea‐migrating brown trout (Salmo trutta). First, we used natural b…
