Surgical outcomes of diaphragmatic resection during cytoreductive surgery for advanced gynecological ovarian neoplasia: A randomized single center cl…
2022
Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OC) represent nearly 4% of gynecologic malignancies and it is often diagnosed at advanced stage. Diaphragmatic surgery, a fundamental step of advanced stage ovarian cancer (ASOC) debulking surgery, is associated with a high post-operative complication incidence, which is supposedly reduced with thoracostomy tube placement. We assessed the role of intra-operative thoracostomy tube placement, as a prevention measure for post-operative complications, after diaphragmatic resection. Methods: This was a single center prospective randomized trial. Ovarian cancer patients, who underwent mono-lateral diaphragmatic resection, were randomized 1:1 into two arms. Arm A incl…
Fonti, suggestioni e intersezioni classiche, tardoantiche e medievali nell’«Alda» di Guglielmo di Blois
2019
In questo saggio vengono studiate le fonti classiche, tardoantiche e medievali dell’«Alda», commedia elegiaca latina di Guglielmo di Blois (scritta verso il 1169-1170). In particolare, dopo una presentazione generale dell’opera e una rassegna critica degli studi e delle edizioni, ci si sofferma sulle suggestioni attinte a Terenzio, Virgilio, Orazio, Ovidio, Stazio, all’«Aegritudo Perdicae», Massimiano, Boezio, Ildeberto di Lavardin, ad alcune commedie elegiache del sec. XII (il «Geta» e l’«Aulularia» di Vitale di Blois, il «Pamphilus», la «Lidia» di Arnolfo d’Orléans) e alla tradizione novellistica “orientale” («Mischle Sendebar»). This essay is founded on the classical, late and medieval s…

Orazio, la Fortuna, l’unicorno: lettura di CB 93a
2017
Questa nota presenta l’analisi di CB 93a (Cum Fortuna voluit me vivere beatum), un breve componimento poetico che risulta fondato su una tematica ben presente in molte liriche classiche e medievali: il lamento per l’arrivo della vecchiaia che, di conseguenza, esclude l’attività amorosa. Il componimento, quanto a immagini e motivi, risulta affine a Orazio, carm. III 26 (Vixi puellis nuper idoneus). Il poeta medievale aggiunge, di suo, alcuni temi simbolici e cristiani, quali la figura dell’unicorno e la separazione del grano dalla paglia (Mt. 3, 12), particolarmente appropriati per il sec. XIII e nella prospettiva della salvezza. This paper offers the analysis of Carmina Burana (CB) 93a (Cum…
INTERPRETARE ORAZIO CON ORAZIO? A PROPOSITO DI CARMINA, LIBRO IV
2011
In the work “Mutat terra vices. Identità, cambiamento e memoria culturale nell’ultimo Orazio” (Palermo 2010), I focused my attention on interpretative and methodological questions concerning the last Horatian book of carmina. In this paper the aim is to demonstrate how the topic of change and discontinuity points out, on the surface of these poems, the presence of conspicuous interferences between the execution of a role by authorial "persona", and the expression, at the same time, of role distance. I mean here especially to describe how gift, reciprocity and exchange in patronage frames contributed to the definition of Horace’s self and of his official duties as interpreter of common memor…
Video-thoracoscopic surgical pleurodesis in the management of malignant pleural effusion: the importance of an early intervention.
2005
Thoracentesis plays an important role in cancer patients with symptomatic effusions, although its effect is short-lived and symptoms recur in almost all patients. Early video-thoracoscopic surgical pleurodesis may provide added benefit to a group of patients with advanced cancer presenting with symptomatic malignant pleural effusion. Seventy-six patients with advanced cancer and pleural effusion due to pulmonary-pleural metastases were recruited. In 51 cases (67.1%), at least one thoracentesis was performed before admission for surgery. Preoperative staging consisted of chest radiograph, CT scan, and blood gas analysis. The mean Karnofsky performance status was about 50. Pleurodesis with ta…
A severe case of Israeli spotted fever with pleural effusion in Italy
2021
Abstract Background The most common Italian rickettsiosis is Mediterranean Spotted Fever (MSF). MSF is commonly associated with a symptom triad consisting of fever, cutaneous rash, and inoculation eschar. The rash is usually maculopapular but, especially in severe presentations, may be petechial. Other typical findings are arthromyalgia and headache. Herein, we describe for the first time an unusual case of Israeli spotted fever (ISF) associated with interstitial pneumonia and pleural effusion in which R. conorii subsp. israelensis was identified by molecular methods in the blood, as well as in the pleural fluid. Case presentation A 72-year-old male presented with a 10-day history of remitt…

COX-2 and sPLA2 inhibitory activity of aqueous extract and polyphenols of Rhizophora mangle (red mangrove)
2006
The aqueous extract of Rhizophora mangle bark and its polyphenolic fractions showed remarkable in vitro antiinflammatory activity in a preliminary study. The low molecular weight fraction exhibited cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitory activity while the total aqueous extract and the low molecular weight fraction showed secretory phospholipase A(2) inhibitory activity.
