Impasse in the management of recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the skull with sagittal sinus erosion1
2015
Abstract Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a non melanocytic skin cancer that arises from basal cells, affecting commonly fair-skinned human beings. Although the tumor is well known for local recurrences, extension into the intracranial space is reported. A case of a giant BCC of the scalp invading the middle and posterior third of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) is reported. A 70-year-old male with a basal cell carcinoma history presented with a massive bleeding from the SSS invaded by the tumor. Since the patient refused surgery the bleeding was managed through direct compression by applying a thrombin-based hemostatic agents and sterile dressings. This procedure was performed daily in orde…
Validity and reliability of measurements of the parameters of smile aesthetics: a comparison between digital and plaster models
2020
This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the TRIOS3 Color intraoral scanner (3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) and its associated Ortho Analyzer™ software in measuring parameters of smile aesthetics compared with measurements on plaster casts. The study sample comprised plaster casts and digital models obtained from 30 subjects. Height (H), mesiodistal diameter (MDD) and connecting space (CS) of the anterior teeth were measured with a digital calliper on the plaster models and with the orthodontic software on the digital models. Validity was assessed using a 2-tailed paired t-test; the reliability of measurements for intra-examiner was evaluated with the Intra-class Correl…

Upper respiratory tract infections in children: From case history to management
2015
Respiratory tract infections are the most common diseases in childhood. The respiratory tract, widely branched system of ducts, is particularly exposed to the action of microorganisms transmitted by air from here the high frequency of infections they face especially in the first years of life. It is usual distinguish: upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). In particular, in infections of the upper airways, the inflammatory process, result of the interaction between microbes and the immune response, can be localized to the mucosa of the nose or sinuses (common cold and sinusitis), or the pharynx or larynx (pharyngotonsillitis and laryngitis) …
MIASTENIA GRAVIS ED ESOFAGITE EOSINOFILA IN ADOLESCENTE CON LES
2019
Il Lupus Eritematoso Sistemico (LES) è una malattia autoimmune caratterizzata dalla presenza di autoanticorpi circolanti e flogosi sistemica. Il LES può insorgere a qualsiasi età, ma la più alta incidenza si ha nelle donne in età fertile. L’esordio può essere acuto, con coinvolgimento di più organi ed apparati come cute, articolazioni, reni, SNC e midollo osseo; o insidioso con sintomi aspecifici come febbre, astenia, esantemi, artrite e pleurite. Gli autoanticorpi associati sono gli anticorpi antinucleo e anti DNA doppio filamento. La diagnosi si basa sul riscontro di criteri clinici e laboratoristici secondo il sistema di classificazione dell’ACR. La presentazione, il decorso e gli esiti …
Testing for Asymmetric Information in Insurance Markets: A Multivariate Ordered Regression Approach
2018
The positive correlation (PC) test is the standard procedure used in the empirical literature to detect the existence of asymmetric information in insurance markets. This article describes a new tool to implement an extension of the PC test based on a new family of regression models, the multivariate ordered logit, designed to study how the joint distribution of two or more ordered response variables depends on exogenous covariates. We present an application of our proposed extension of the PC test to the Medigap health insurance market in the United States. Results reveal that the risk–coverage association is not homogeneous across coverage and risk categories, and depends on individual so…
Accounting for Interdependent Risks in Vulnerability Assessment of Refugees
2020
The United Nations’ Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF) of refugees encompasses a set of indicators of the living conditions in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan; it assumes the independence among its components. In this paper we maintain the importance to account for existing interdependencies, and provide a definition of vulnerability for high income countries. The proposed “vulnerability scale”, based on the estimated joint risk of social isolation, economic deprivation and bad health, is a useful tool to address interventions toward selected groups of more vulnerable refugees. Analyses are based upon the survey of refugees carried on in Germany in 2016. Germany is the first count…

L'effetto di Montalbano sui flussi turistici nei luoghi letterari e televisivi
2015
Da alcuni anni vari enti regionali erogano a fondo perduto a favore di produzioni cinematografiche o televisive nei loro territori, talvolta attraverso le c.d. Film Commission. Di solito cio viene giustificato dall’impatto occupazionale delle riprese e da quello indotto sul cine-turismo. Obiettivo di questo saggio e misurare l’impatto dei telefilm sui flussi turistici delle localita dove essi sono stati girati, al fine di valutare se tali erogazioni a fondo perduto siano opportune; cio attraverso un’indagine empirica (nel periodo 1982-2013) sull’incremento turistico indotto dalle serie TV con il commissario Montalbano. Confrontando gli arrivi nella provincia di Ragusa, sede delle riprese te…
