La responsabilità di sistema e le “mele” di Abu Ghraib
2010
Philip Zimbardo, ideatore del celebre esperimento carcerario di Stanford e perito della difesa nel processo sugli abusi di Abu Grahib, approfondisce il concetto di responsabilità di sistema. Egli accusa il diritto penale di anacronismo rispetto alle scoperte delle scienze sociali, trascurando la conclamata e poderosa influenza dell’ambiente sull’individuo. La responsabilità di sistema sembrerebbe sollevare gli individui dalla responsabilità personale, configurandosi come alibi per la coscienza, scusante per atti atroci, negazione della stessa libertà umana, decretando un determinismo assolutorio e rassegnato ai mali del mondo. Tale concetto, smascherando il paradigma delle “mele marce”, ser…
Penn classification in acute aortic dissection patients
2016
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Penn classification in predicting in-hospital mortality after surgery in acute type A aortic dissection patients. Methods We evaluated 58 patients (42 men and 16 women; mean age 62.17 ± 10.6 years) who underwent emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection between September 2003 and June 2010 in our department. We investigated the correlation between the pre-operative malperfusion and in-hospital outcome after surgery. Results Twenty-eight patients (48%) were Penn class Aa (absence of branch vessel malperfusion or circulatory collapse), 11 (19%) were Penn class Ab (branch vessel malperfusion with ischaemi…
Long Term Results of Stanford V Regimen and Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) In 59 Patients (pts) with HD and HIV Infection (HD-HIV)
2010
Abstract Abstract 4827 Background: The introduction of HAART has significantly improved the outcome of pts with HD-HIV. However there are no data on the long term follow-up of HD-HIV pts treated with conventional chemotherapy (CT) regimens. In 2002, we reported the results of a prospective phase II study with the intensive 12-week CT with adjuvant radiotherapy (Stanford V) and concomitant HAART in 59 pts (Spina et al. Blood 2002;100:1984-1988). Methods: To analyze the long term outcome of patients included in the Stanford V and HAART protocol. Results: The median follow-up is 67months (range 3–156 months The 5-yr overall survival (OS), freedom from progression (FFP), disease free survival a…
A low threshold to ECG-gated repeat CTA reduces the risk of false-positive diagnosis of type A dissection in interhospital referrals: a case series s…

Given that electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CTA provides greater diagnostic safety, it may be assumed that interhospital referral…
