Evolution of Pediatric Migraine Patients Admitted at an Emergency Department after a 10-Year Follow-Up

Background: Despite its high prevalence, the clinical course of pediatric migraine has not been fully understood, and previous studies present conflicting results.

Our aim was to evaluate a population of migraine children admitted to an emergency department because of increased severity or frequency of pain or even because of very anxious parents concerning their child’s headache in order to describe their long-term outcomes, whether it differed from that of o…

Ethical Problems Related to the Management of Young Immigrant detainees with Psychiatric disorders in Italian Prisons.

2010

The number of foreigners in Italian minor prisons is quite large and it varies in relation to the geographical position. First of all, we must clarify a few points: a minor prison is a judicial system of detention for people between 14 and 21. Before the age of 14, teenagers cannot be put on trial in Italy. In the minor prison of Palermo the 40-50% of the detainees are people coming from Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, but young people from Southern America, Albania and Romany are present too. Albanians and Romanians move to eastern Italy, usually. The immigrant detainees are often illegal refugees or children of a first generation of immigrants who easily deviate from law in order to sur…
