Psicoterapia e Medicina
2016
In un’epoca di grandi trasformazioni tecnologiche è inevitabile che anche la medicina evolva il suo apparato tecnico scientifico verso forme e modalità ultraspecialistiche che se innegabili vantaggi possono offrire per la diagnosi e il trattamento di molte malattie anche gravi, rischiano di ribaltarsi negativamente sulla qualità umana della pratica clinica e sui modelli della relazione terapeutica. L’accento posto oggi di frequente sul recupero di una medicina umanistica e sulla più generale valorizzazione di una antropologia medica sembra proprio volto a compensare la preponderanza nella medicina contemporanea dell’agire tecnico sul sentire psicologico, a scapito di aspetti oggi ritenuti m…

Well-being of physicians: protective factors from work stress in a sample of Italian oncologists
2012
Background: Recently a great deal of attention has been focused on doctors' work related stress and the possibility of improving their quality of life.

Aims: Our research investigates the relationship between Work Stress, Work Engagement and Personal Well-being in a sample of …
Analysis of molecular mechanisms and anti-tumoral effects of zoledronic acid in breast cancer cells
2012
Background: Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is the most potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (N-BPs) that strongly binds to bone mineral and acts as a powerful inhibitor of bone resorption, already clinically available for the treatment of patients with osteolytic metastases. Recent data also suggest that ZOL, used in breast cancer, may provide more than just supportive care modifying the course of the disease, though the possible molecular mechanism of action is still unclear. Aims: Since breast cancer is one of the primary tumors with high propensity to metastasize to the bone, we investigated, for the first time, differential gene expression profile on MCF-7 breast cancer cells treated with l…
