Experimental analysis of the potential validity of Lorenzini’s hypothesis to treat COVID-19 patients
2021
The present research was aimed at testing the potential validity of Lorenzini’s hypothesis against Covid-19, based on the use of far UV-C rays directly on the patient’s ill lungs, so to significantly reduce the virus presence and with it the interstitial pneumonia, the cause of most deaths. Not having had the chance to experiment directly on the SARS-CoV-2, we shifted to a plant virus called TSWV, which has some common characteristics with SARS-CoV-2, so making our tests significant. The virus was suitably utilized so to affect an opportune range of pepper plants, after a treatment with 2 UV-C lamps, of which just one spreading far UV-C rays. Results showed that the effect of a quick exposi…
Preoperative Considerations in Order to Resume Elective Surgery During COVID-19 Pandemic
2020
Abstract The alarming spread of the novel Coronavirus necessitated the cessation of elective therapeutic procedures in most health-care facilities. This strategy has limited the spread of the virus, but with a huge socio-economic impact. For this reason, the resumption of elective surgery in the context of the coronavirus pandemic is a difficult, but necessary process. Addressing this delicate situation requires interdisciplinary collaboration, so as to ensure high quality medical care for all patients, with consideration to protection of the staff involved in the care of the surgical patient.
Safety Protocols for Forensic Inspections in the Time of COVID-19: An Approach to Protect Practitioners
2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world in ways that were unimaginable in 2019. It has changed how professionals work and interact with one another. To ensure the safety of experts and attorneys, forensic inspection procedures must evolve while still providing a reliable foundation for expert testimony. Traditional field inspections require attendees to be physically present and in generally close proximity. Inspecting artifacts may also require that individual components be serially examined by multiple experts, which increases the risk of transmitting the disease. The authors propose a new approach to forensic inspections aimed at protecting consultants from the biological ris…

Systemische Immunsuppression in Zeiten von COVID‐19: Müssen wir umdenken?
2020
Zusammenfassung Die aktuelle SARS‐CoV‐2 Pandemie gefährdet vor allem ältere Menschen mit kardiopulmonalen und metabolischen Vorerkrankungen. In aktueller Diskussion ist jedoch auch, ob Patienten unter immunsuppressiver Therapie ebenfalls ein höheres Risiko haben, im Fall einer COVID‐19‐Erkrankung einen schweren Krankheitsverlauf zu erleiden. Grundsätzlich gibt es derzeit jedoch keine Datenlage für eine generelle Reduktion oder Pausierung einer Immunsuppression bei Patienten mit Autoimmunerkrankungen in Zeiten der SARS‐CoV‐2‐Pandemie. Da es jedoch derzeit weder eine wirksame Therapie, noch einen entsprechenden Impfschutz gibt, sollten wir uns gezielt mit der Problematik chronisch‐immunsuppri…
