Libri e reciprocità. Aspetti simbolici della circolazione libraria tra Cicerone e Tacito
2015
In this ‘late age of printing’, while we still feel part of a book culture, other media have taken the place of books in important respects. The change has affected not only the objects used for writing or reading or communicating, but also the frames of meaning hitherto associated with these practices. This paper sets out to discuss some types of meaning attaching to books in Latin literature from Cicero to Tacitus. Reconstructing the cultural meanings of books in literary representations from the Latin world could prove helpful by raising questions about our ability to orient ourselves in the present period of change.
Stem Cell Therapy
2019
The necessity of improving the health and quality of life of subjects affected by diverse injuries and chronic diseases, has led to develop a new branch of translational medicine, called Regenerative Medicine (RegMed). RegMed has the principal objects of restoring, maintaining or enhancing structures and functions of tissues and organs. In order to achieve these goals, the RegMed researchers have proposed and tested diverse approaches. The Stem Cell Therapy represents the central focus of RegMed, even if its applications may imply the onset of adverse conditions. Here, an overview of this topic will be reported, by pointing advantages and disadvantages.
European guidelines on chronic mesenteric ischaemia - joint United European Gastroenterology, European Association for Gastroenterology, Endoscopy an…
2020
Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is a severe and incapacitating disease, causing complaints of post-prandial pain, fear of eating and weight loss. Even though chronic mesenteric ischaemia may progress to acute mesenteric ischaemia, chronic mesenteric ischaemia remains an underappreciated and undertreated disease entity. Probable explanations are the lack of knowledge and awareness among physicians and the lack of a gold standard diagnostic test. The underappreciation of this disease results in diagnostic delays, underdiagnosis and undertreating of patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia, potentially resulting in fatal acute mesenteric ischaemia. This guideline provides a comprehensive overvi…
Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Intima Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2022
Background: Obesity, and in particular extreme obesity, as a global health problem is an important risk factor for many diseases, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). Bariatric surgery might stop or slow atherogenesis by decreasing excessive weight in the early stages of atherogenesis, by suppressing low-grade systemic inflammation as well as by inhibiting oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this meta-analysis was to provide an answer to whether bariatric surgery has a significant effect on intima-media thickness (IMT) which is a surrogate marker of early atherosclerosis and has a good correlation with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease. Methods:…

Amplicon-based high-throughput pooled sequencing identifies mutations in CYP7B1 and SPG7 in sporadic spastic paraplegia patients
2011
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder defined clinically by progressive lower limb spasticity and weakness. HSP is a genetically highly heterogeneous condition with at least 46 gene loci identified so far, involving X-linked, autosomal recessive (AR) and autosomal dominant inheritance. For correct diagnosis, molecular testing is essential because clinical parameters by themselves are not reliable to differentiate HSP forms. The purpose of this study was to establish amplicon-based high-throughput genotyping for AR-HSP. A sample of 187 index cases with apparently sporadic or recessive spastic paraplegia were analyzed by applying an array-based amplification stra…
The Italian Society of Gastroenterology (SIGE) and the Italian Group for the study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IG-IBD) Clinical Practice Guideline…
2010
Biological therapies are an important step in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. In consideration of high cost and safety issues there is the need to have clear recommendations for their use. Despite the American Gastroenterological Association and the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation have published exhaustive Inflammatory Bowel Disease guidelines, national guidelines may be necessary as cultural values, economical and legal issues may differ between countries. For these reasons the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Group for the study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease have decided to elaborate the Italian guidelines on the use of biologics in Inflammatory…
Atherosclerosis: risk assessment and the role of aiming for optimal glycaemic control in young patients with type 1 diabetes
2023
Wprowadzenie: Dzieci z cukrzycą typu 1 (type 1 diabetes mellitus – DM1) mają w porównaniu ze zdrowymi rówieśnikami podwyższone ryzyko rozwoju zaawansowanej miażdżycy oraz choroby sercowo-naczyniowej (cardiovascular disease – CVD), a niedostateczna kontrola glikemii jest najważniejszym modyfikowalnym czynnikiem ryzyka CVD w DM1. Aktualne metody oceny kontroli glikemii to ocena hemoglobiny glikowanej (HbA1c), samokontrola glikemii za pomocą glukometru (SMBG), a także stosowanie systemów ciągłego monitorowania glukozy (CGM). Do pośredniej oceny ryzyka rozwoju CVD mogą służyć badania rozszerzenia tętnicy w odpowiedzi na niedokrwienie (flow-mediated dilatation – FMD) i prędkości fali tętna (PWV)…
Czy należy rutynowo wykonywać endoskopię górnego odcinka przewodu pokarmowego przed naczyniowymi zabiegami rekonstrukcyjnymi?
2001
Badaniu poddano dwie grupy chorych z niedokrwieniem kończyn kwalifikowanych do leczenia rekonstrukcyjnego. W grupie pierwszej (300 chorych) u wszystkich pacjentów wykonano rutynową przedoperacyjną endoskopię górnego odcinka przewodu pokarmowego. W grupie drugiej (300 chorych) badanie endoskopowe wykonywano u chorych objawowych. Nadżerki lub też owrzodzenia w żołądku lub dwunastnicy stwierdzono u 81 chorych (27%) z grupy pierwszej — w 56 przypadkach bez jakichkolwiek klinicznych objawów choroby. U chorych niepoddanych badaniu endoskopowemu w okresie pooperacyjnym u 8 wystąpiło krwawienie z przewodu pokarmowego powodowane czynnym owrzodzeniem trawiennym. Dodatkowo u 4 chorych zmarłych z innyc…
Consequences of analgesics use in early pregnancy: Results of tests on mice.
2019
International audience; Self-medication during pregnancy continues to be an issue in developing countries due topoor medical education. The most commonly used drugs are analgesics, mainlyacetaminophen (paracetamol, APAP) and, to a lesser extent, ketoprofen (KPF). The aim of thestudy was to establish whether there are consequences of accidental use of these two drugsduring early embryogenesis. The experimental study was performed on 30 pregnant whitemice, divided into three groups: a first group to which APAP was administered, a secondgroup to which KPF was administered, and group 3 as a control group. At delivery, the babymice were examined, and after their first parturition, they were take…
