Ad infantes terrendos. Sortilegi e disordine metamorfico nell'immaginario mitico greco sull'infanzia
2008
Le Lamie, le Empuse, e altre figure meno note come Ephialtes, Mormò, Gello appartengono a quello spazio rappresentativo centrato sulla maschera, veicolo di una potenza radicalmente altra che rimanda a se stessa: non sono precisamente né mito né fiaba, tuttavia esprimono una potente energia normativa rivolta a integrare nell'ordine sociale costituito. Nella loro qualità di horridae mulieres sono figure dell'instabilità e dei rischi occultati in ogni norma condivisa, figure della quotidianità esposta all'incertezza, al cedimento indotto dalla seduzione, ad un interminabile apprendimento di norme sempre in equilibrio tra memoria del passato e cambiamenti legati al futuro. Alimentando uno spazi…
Extramammary Paget's disease of the penis.
1997
This case report describes a penile location of Paget's disease with delayed diagnosis due to initial outside treatment for several suspected benign dermatological disorders until surgery was eventually performed with confirmation of a Paget lesion of the penis. Diagnosis and therapy of this rare urologic disease are discussed and the literature is reviewed.
Das Kiefergelenk bei entzündlichen, degenerativen und weichteilrheumatischen Erkrankungen
1991
Temporomandibular joint affections in rheumatic disease are described. They were seen in inflamed joint diseases, mostly in rheumatoid arthritis, and less so in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Reiter’s syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, and collagen vascular disease.
A controlled trial of intra-articular corticosteroids with or without methotrexate in oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis
2014
In contrast with the numerous controlled trials conducted in polyarticular or systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), little evidence-based information is available for oligoarticular JIA. As a result, the management of children with this subtype, which is the most prevalent in Western countries, is largely empiric. Intra-articular corticosteroid (IAC) injection is the therapy of first choice for oligoarthritis in many pediatric rheumatology centers. However, although IAC injections are usually highly efficacious, relapses of synovitis are common and sometimes occur only a few months after the procedure. It is still unclear whether concomitant administration of methotrexate (MTX) may …
Intra-articular corticosteroids versus intra-articular corticosteroids plus methotrexate in oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a multicent…
2017
Summary Background Little evidence-based information is available to guide the treatment of oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. We aimed to investigate whether oral methotrexate increases the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid therapy. Methods We did this prospective, open-label, randomised trial at ten hospitals in Italy. Using a concealed computer-generated list, children younger than 18 years with oligoarticular-onset disease were randomly assigned (1:1) to intra-articular corticosteroids alone or in combination with oral methotrexate (15 mg/m 2 ; maximum 20 mg). Corticosteroids used were triamcinolone hexacetonide (shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and tibiotalar joints) o…
Politiikkaa savikiekoilla : poliittinen musiikki suomalaisilla äänilevyillä 1899– 1939
2023
1900-luvun alussa Suomeen alkoi ilmestyä musiikkia savikiekoille, jotka yleistyivät etenkin 1930-luvulla. Tätä ilmiötä on nimitetty gramofonikuumeeksi, jonka aikana äänilevyjen myynti Suomessa kasvoi aivan uudelle tasolle. Samaan aikaan, kun gramofonille julkaistiin musiikkia, kävi Suomi monen merkittävän poliittisen historian tapahtuman läpi, kuten suuriruhtinaskunnan sortovuodet, sisällissodan, poliittiset vastakkaisuudet 1920- ja 1930-luvuilla ja kieltolain. Politiikka ja musiikki eivät jääneet toisistaan erillisiksi asioiksi, vaan erilaiset ryhmät olivat hyödyntäneet musiikkia poliittisten tavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi. Tutkielmassa osoitan, että poliittinen musiikki oli sidonnainen aika…
Early Treatment of Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis with Canakinumab and Complete Remission After 2 Years of Treatment Suspension: Case Report …
2019
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is an autoinflammatory disease characterised by fever and arthritis. We describe the case of a 14-year-old girl hospitalised with fever associated with rash, myalgia, arthralgia and polyarticular involvement. Examinations revealed increased levels of C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ferritin, triglycerides, leukocytes, neutrophils, lactate dehydrogenase, fibrinogen, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Bone marrow biopsy showed polyclonal leukocyte activation. A genetic study revealed a heterozygous mutation of the MEFV gene, c.442G>C (E148Q), which is typical of…
Plasma markers of platelet and polymorphonuclear leukocyte activation in young adults with acute myocardial infarction
2005
Our goal was to evaluate some plasma markers of platelet and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) activation in a group of young adults with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at the initial stage and after three months. We enrolled 49 AMI subjects aged<45 years and examined plasmatic levels of platelet factor 4 (PF4), β-thromboglobulin (β-TG), elastase and myeloperoxidase (MPO) using ELISA methods. PF4 and β-TG were increased, compared to control subjects, both at the initial stage and after 3 months. In control subjects and in AMI patients, at both times of observation, there was a significant and positive correlation between the two platelet parameters, while no correlation was present betwe…
