Information domain approach to the investigation of cardio-vascular, cardio-pulmonary, and vasculo-pulmonary causal couplings
2011
The physiological mechanisms related to cardio-vascular (CV), cardio-pulmonary (CP), and vasculo-pulmonary (VP) regulation may be probed through multivariate time series analysis tools. This study applied an information domain approach for the evaluation of non-linear causality to the beat-to-beat variability series of heart period (t), systolic arterial pressure (s), and respiration (r) measured during tilt testing and paced breathing (PB) protocols. The approach quantifies the causal coupling from the series i to the series j (C(ij)) as the amount of information flowing from i to j. A measure of directionality is also obtained as the difference between two reciprocal causal couplings (D(i…

Telemedicine during Covid-19 pandemic: Advantage or critical issue?
2020
Telemedicine offers a support to traditional medicine, delivering clinical services when distance is a critical factor. Although this tool does not replace a medical examination, during Covid-19 pandemic, it reduces the spread of infection and avoids the need for a patient’s visit. It is useful in the management of chronic disorders or for patients undergoing palliative treatment. The University Hospital of Palermo has applied this in cases of chronic illness caring for patients who cannot stop their treatment, such as Department of Onco-Haematology, Internal Medicine, Dermatology, etc. The Department of Legal Medicine of Palermo, in particular, is also using telemedicine to manage medico-…

Legal liability in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw
2014
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is an adverse reaction that may occur in patients administered with bisphosphonates (BP). This condition can cause high morbidity and hinder quality of life. Its treatment is complex and often unsatisfactory, and prevention strategies may have limited effectiveness, if any. Thus, managing patients treated with BP may result in exposure of the practitioner to legal liability or malpractice claims: legal actions pursuant to BRONJ are reported to be underway on three continents. Nonetheless, the attribution of liability, if any, is a complex process requiring, on the basis of current knowledge, a robust and pragmatic approach to the facts…

Sonographische Darstellbarkeit und Größenbestimmung von Abdominalorganen bei gesunden Neugeborenen
1988
The determination of organ size is another important criterium in ultrasound examination. There are only few investigations in the neonatal group. Therefore in a prospective study the abdominal organs of 85 neonates were examined with a 7.5 MHz small part scanner. These organs were measured in standardized sections in order to establish normal values]
Extrakorporale Stoßwellenlithotripsie von Gallenblasensteinen: Wie viele Patienten sind geeignet?
2008
The proportion of patients with gallbladder stones suitable for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) was analysed prospectively in 200 patients aged 17-76 years (62 males, 138 females) with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. Criteria for inclusion were clinical symptoms, solitary stones (diameter 10-30 mm) or up to three stones with comparable total volume, contractile gallbladder, no calcification of stones, normal biliary tract anatomy. To check these criteria a step-by-step diagnostic procedure was instituted which consisted of history, ultrasonography with contractility test, abdominal X-ray film, computed tomography measurement of stone density, and endoscopic retrograde cholangio…
