COVID-19 IN ITALY. CLINICAL EMERGENCY AND BIOETHICAL PERSPECTIVES
2020
Italy is the European country with the second highest number of novel Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) deaths. Several factors interfered with the spread of this phenomenon, both clinical, political, and bioethical. In this scenario, where the need for care goes far beyond the capacity of a health system able to cope with it, what should be the criteria for an equitable distribution of the available resources? The mass quarantine required physical distancing in order to limit the spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, and contextually created additional problems for the organization Italian National Health Service. The delicate ethical questions p…

Further spread of West Nile virus in Italy.
2010
Following two consecutive years of West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in Italy, new foci of infection were observed in August 2010 in Sicily and Molise in southern and central Italy, respectively. These incidents were far from the previous infected area in northern Italy, thereby confirming the ability of WNV to spread to new areas and affect new host populations. © Istituto G. Caporale 2010.

Adoption of digital innovations in rural enterprises during COVID-19
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly affected the operating conditions of enterprises. Traditional customers and operational models are changing radically in the short term. Digitalisation and digital methods provide an opportunity to re-organise working methods and create a new kind of business to replace old methods and business models. Compared to urban enterprises, rural enterprises have less experience with digital tools and are less likely to adopt digital innovations. This makes rural enterprises especially vulnerable. The purpose of this study is to provide insights into how micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas have addressed the COVID-19 pandemic, th…
Regulation of raft-derived endocytic pathways : studies on echovirus 1 and baculovirus
2009
Elina Kakkonen tutki väitöskirjassaan kahden erilaisen viruksen, echovirus 1:n ja bakuloviruksen soluun sisäänmenon reittejä ja säätelijöitä. Echovirus 1 (EV1) on ihmisiä infektoiva pikornavirus, joka voi aiheuttaa esimerkiksi aivokalvontulehdusta, sydänlihastulehdusta sekä lievempiä hengitystieinfektioita. Bakulovirus puolestaan on ihmisille vaaraton, hyönteisiä infektoiva virus, joka on osoittautunut lupaavaksi geeninsiirtokuljettajaksi geeniterapiassa.Virukset voivat käyttää soluun tunkeutumisessaan hyväkseen soluissa valmiina olevia erilaisia reittejä, joita solut itse tarvitsevat esimerkiksi ravintoaineiden sisäänottoon. Näin virukset pääsevät solun sisälle solun oman koneiston kuljett…
Prevalence and morphometric analysis of the retromolar canal in a Spanish population sample: a helical CT scan study.
2021
BACKGROUND: The retromolar canal (RMC) is an anatomical variation of the mandibular canal (MC) whose identification and study should be considered given its implication in the surgical procedures of the retromolar area. The prevalence of the RMC widely varies according to previous studies and may be influenced by the followed study method. This work aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the RMC in a Spanish population sample. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For this purpose, 225 CT scan images (with a higher resolution than the cone beam CT used in other previous studies) from the Hospital Clinico Universitario de Valencia were analyzed. The Osirix MD radiological image analysis system was applied to a…

Wpływ epidemii koronawirusa na medialne transmisje Eucharystii
2021
The coronavirus epidemic has become a completely unexpected challenge for the pastoral activity of the Church. The introduced restrictions on the number of the faithful who can participate in the parish liturgy and in some countries even the complete closure of places of worship, resulted in a new perception of the role of media broadcasts of the Eucharist. The article presents the history of introducing television broadcasts of the Holy Mass and the related and variously solved problem of the place where such a liturgy is celebrated. Issues related to the specific phenomenon of broadcasting the Holy Mass from parish churches via the Internet with the use of one webcam are also discussed. A…
