Antonio Gramsci: anti-spontaneismo e natura umana

2015

Il discorso pedagogico gramsciano è contrassegnato da una critica, talora piuttosto abrasiva, verso quelle proposte educative incentrate sul libero dispiegarsi delle (supposte) attitudini naturali dei singoli, la cui portata (politicamente) emancipativa è messa in dubbio. Per limitarsi alla fase della reclusione, è possibile ritracciare passi dei Quaderni e delle Lettere nei quali è espresso un disappunto rispetto ad alcune esperienze in senso lato ascrivibili a quella corrente pedagogica assai eterogenea – e non conosciuta nella sua integrità dal sardo – racchiudibile sotto il nome di attivismo, una corrente in netta contrapposizione con i modelli di scuola e di educazione magistrocentrici…

Psicologia Evoluzionistica e cognizione umana

2012

Come scienza del comportamento la psicologia si è interessata, sin dalla sua nascita, dei modi attraverso cui ambiente e comportamento entrano in relazione. Nonostante il diffuso riconoscimento dello stretto legame esistente tra organismo e ambiente, soltanto negli ultimi anni i concetti della teoria darwiniana e della biologia sono entrati a pieno titolo nella ricerca e riflessione psicologica. Questo volume presenta un’ampia e articolata panoramica della «psicologia evoluzionistica», disciplina ormai alla base dei nuovi modelli teorici di interpretazione del comportamento umano e dei processi cognitivi, dalla percezione alle emozioni, al linguaggio, alle motivazioni, fino al pensiero e ra…

Role of Th cytokines in thyroid autoimmunity

2007

Thyroid autoimmunity occurs when the immune system reacts against thyroid cells after targeting them like any other “not-self” antigen. To define a thyroid autoimmune disorder is often difficult even if the presence of auto-antibodies and/or autoreactive lymphocytes is a common feature. Although the pathogenetic mechanism is poorly understood, increasing evidences indicate that apoptosis is one of the key process that leads to thyroid auto-immunity. Afterward, Th cytokines have been considered the regulator factors of the cell survival in thyroid autoimmunity. Understanding the cell response from the perspective of type 1 or type 2 cytokines could clarify the pathogenetic mechanism controll…

A MIXTURE OF VEGETABLE EXTRACTS (CHAMOMILLE, PASSIONFLOWER, CARAWAY, FENNEL), AND ENZYMES (BETA-GALACTOSIDASE) FOR IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (ibs): AN…

2018

Summary. Aims: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional intestinal disorder. This syndrome may creates psychological disorders in patients who are affected and severely limits daily activities and lifestyle. Methods: We investigated the effect of the natural product consisting of chamomile, fennel, caraway, passionflower and melissa (Spasmicol®), on IBS patients. For the study, 187 patients with IBS, enrolled by primary care doctors, were treated with Spasmicol® (Aristeia Farmaceutici s.r.l.), two tablets/daily, for 30 days. At the end of the study, patients were re-evaluated to analyse the effects of therapy. Results: After 30 days, patients showed a marked reduction of symptoms (abd…

HSP-MOLECULAR CHAPERONES IN CANCER BIOGENESIS AND TUMOR THERAPY: AN OVERVIEW

2012

Molecular chaperones, many of which are heat-shock proteins (HSPs), are an important class of molecules with various functions. Pathological conditions in which chaperones become etiological and/or pathogenic factors are called chaperonopathies, and are classified into by defect, by excess, and by "mistake". In the latter case, the chaperone is structurally and functionally normal but paqrtecipates in pathwais that favor diseases, aòlthough in some cases the chaperone may have post-translational modifications that may lead it to change its location and function and, thus, to become pathogenic. For example, HSP-chaperones are involved in acrcinogenesis in various ways, so that some forms of …

Experiences that “reach the heart”. Taking part in a whole body dissection course at the University of Malta

2017

This article summarizes the activities of the four-week whole body dissection course the main authors participated in in August 2016 at the dissection hall of the University of Malta (UoM). Our team comprised 10 second-year medicine students from University of Palermo chosen among who had passed the Human Anatomy exam brilliantly. The need to move to the UoM to take part in such activity derives from the lack of practice approach in Italian schools of medicine, focused mostly on the theoretical studies, neglecting practical experience. The heart dissection reveal itself as a huge opportunity to finally apply our anatomical knowledge, improving it and enabling us to compare images took from …

A BRIEF DISSECTION'S GUIDE TO NORMAL MEDIASTINAL ANATOMY

2019

The purpose of this article is to show the mediastinal dissection method used during the stage performed by a group of students from the Univrersity of palermo that, during the sumer of 2017, had the opportunity to spend a period of 4 weeks at the Department of Anatomy of The University of malta. The students were guided to practice dissection of some corpes to study various mediastinal organs. This experience permitted to the students to verify practically what they lernt in the books, and reperesented a unique opportunity for them to perform practice with cadavers, that is actually very difficult to do in italian universities.

ANATOMICAL DISSECTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURES OF THE UPPER LIMB

2017

In 2015, a whole body dissection course was proposed by the University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, thanks to the cooperation with the University of Malta, Msida, Malta. The purpose of this study was to show the the difference between the studyof anatomy on books and on corpses. The article focuses its attention on the dissection method of the upper limb. The astudy was performed on two corpses, a male and a female, by using a basic surgeon kit. Blunt dissection method was used for fasciae, innards and to isolate vascular-nervous structures from the fat; we used scalped for cutis, sub cutis, muscles, fasciae, veins, arteries and nerves of the upper limb from the shoulder to the hand. The upp…

Le complicanze della fibrobroncoscopia. Revisione della letteratura

2007

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is the gold standard to study and eventually treat tracheobronchial pathology. Performance of fiberoptic bronchoscopy enhances diagnostic precision and has not well documentated risks for the patients. This review examines the international literature of the last 30 yrs about the indication, complications and their prevention during bronchoscopy.
