2018
Introduction. Healthcare workers are continuously exposed to the risk of being infected by influenza viruses during their work, thus representing a threat especially for fragile patients. Although the Italian Ministry of Health strongly recommends influenza vaccination for all HCWs, coverage levels in Italy are still far from the expected. Several studies report that one of the preferred strategies to improve vaccination coverage among Healthcare Workers is improving vaccination knowledge through specific multidisciplinary courses. To assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention on influenza vaccination coverage among Healthcare Workers a study was conducted at "Paolo Giaccone" U…

Objectives and methodology: Guidelines of the Italian Society for Haemostasis and Thrombosis (SISET).
2009
A current goal of the Italian Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis (SISET) is the production of guidelines for clinical conditions related to haemostasis and thrombosis.

Legal Texts and Juridical Practice in Byzantine Italy
2021
Italy was reannexed into the Byzantine empire precisely at the time when, in Constantinople, Justinian’s monumental corpus codified Roman juridical production and opened those regulations to a Byzantine interpretation, thereby paving the way for a legal system that would serve as the basis of Byzantine jurisprudence. While legal texts concerning Italy are limited in number, the manuscript tradition of legal books is copious. Furthermore, with respect to other areas of the empire, Italy, together with Egypt, is the best documented “peripheral” region, as far as juridical practice is concerned. This duality is due both to fortuitous archival circumstances and to the real feature of the Byzant…

The contribution of archaeological plant remains in tracing the cultural history of Mediterranean trees: The example of the Roman harbour ofNeapolis
2015
In this paper, we present a detailed record of the plant remains recovered on the palaeo-seafloors of Neapolis harbour, spanning ≈700 years, between the 2nd century BC and the 5th century AD, thus intersecting the entire Roman Imperial Age. The site preserved many cultivated or cultivable plant remains, especially from food related trees. This particular feature provided the opportunity to reconstruct the puzzling history of planting them and the Roman economy, especially with respect to food production, the market and to dietary habits. The evidence suggests that Prunus persica, Castanea sativa, Juglans regia and Pinus pinea were locally grown all along the investigated period, testifying …
