Right Restriction or Restricting Rights? The UK Acts to Address COVID-19
2020
The UK was initially slow to adopt measures to address the COVID-19 pandemic. However on 23 March 2020 and following escalating infection and mortality rates, the government introduced the most restrictive measures on movement in modern UK history. These lockdown measures which introduced sweeping limitation on movement outside the home were introduced through statutory legislation: regulations which were made by the government and not debated nor legislated by Parliament. This article considers the issues the UK?s legal responses to address the COVID-19 raises in terms of democracy, human rights and the rule of law
Emergenza epidemiologica e obblighi di rinegoziare nei contratti del calcio professionistico.
2020
L’emergenza epidemiologica da Covid-19 ha generato effetti devastanti sull’economia italiana, i quali sono particolarmente avvertiti nell’ambito del calcio professionistico. L’interruzione delle competizioni e l’incertezza sulla loro ripresa determina un blocco delle entrate, a fronte di costi che restano inalterati. Si profila perciò, per le società sportive, l’esigenza di rinegoziare i contratti con atleti e tesserati; esigenza che si traduce, per le parti del rapporto, in un vero e proprio obbligo basato sulla buona fede. Il lavoro prende in esame le soluzioni cui i Collegi arbitrali sportivi potrebbero pervenire nell’eventualità, piuttosto probabile, che sorgano contenziosi nel prossimo…

International BEAT-PCD Consensus Statement for Infection Prevention and Control for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in collaboration with ERN-LUNG PCD Cor…
2021
Introduction In primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) impaired mucociliary clearance leads to recurrent airway infections and progressive lung destruction, and concern over chronic airway infection and patient-to-patient transmission is considerable. So far, there has been no defined consensus on how to control infection across centres caring for patients with PCD. Within the BEAT-PCD network, COST Action and ERS CRC together with the ERN-Lung PCD core a first initiative has now been taken towards creating such a consensus statement. Methods A multidisciplinary international PCD expert panel was set up to create a consensus statement for infection prevention and control (IP&C) for PCD, covering …
Recomendaciones en el manejo de la pandemia por coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) en pacientes con trasplante renal
2020
The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is evolving very quickly and means a special risk for both immunosuppressed and comorbid patients. Knowledge about this growing infection is also increasing although many uncertainties remain, especially in the kidney transplant population. This manuscript presents a proposal for action with general and specific recommendations to protect and prevent infection in this vulnerable population such as kidney transplant recipients. Resumen: La pandemia por coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) está evolucionando de manera muy rápida y representa un riesgo especial en pacientes inmunodeprimidos y con comorbilidades añadidas.

Le valenze della Danza Movimento Terapia in presenza e a distanza. Corpo e relazioni durante la pandemia del COVID-19
2022
Elena Mignosi e Fernando Battista approfondiscono nella loro articolo le specificità della Danza Movimento Terapia (DMT) e i suoi numerosi ambiti applicativi (educativo, formativo clinico, terapeutico, sociale/inclusivo , riabilitativo). Conducono quindi una riflessione sulle modalità in presenza e da remoto, individuando quale efficacia possa avere partecipare ad un esperienza artisctico-creativa e corporea attraverso uno schermo. La pandemia da Covid 19 ha infatti reso necessario ripensare quelli che erano ritenuti i punti cardine del setting di DMT e di individuare nuove forme di interazione. Infine essi presentano brevemente i capitoli della rivista che costituiscono gli Atti del Conveg…
Contra la patologización intensiva en términos de derechos humanos: Activismo gordo en Argentina
2020
This work addresses the way in which Argentine Fat Activism has developed, in recent years, the demand for depathologization of fatness, taking elements from critical discourses on the health of fat people to frame them in a perspective typical of the Human Rights. First, the contemporary fat body is described in terms of stigma and discrimination, especially in the health field. Then, they refer to a series of critical positions on the pathologization and medicalization of fatness from the biomedical perspective, Fat Studies and Fat Activism. Lastly, a series of interventions that the Argentine activist collective Taller Hacer la Vista Gorda produced between 2017 and 2020 were considered, …
Acute cholecystitis during COVID-19 pandemic: a multisocietary position statement
2020
AbstractFollowing the spread of the infection from the new SARS-CoV2 coronavirus in March 2020, several surgical societies have released their recommendations to manage the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for the daily clinical practice. The recommendations on emergency surgery have fueled a debate among surgeons on an international level.We maintain that laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains the treatment of choice for acute cholecystitis, even in the COVID-19 era. Moreover, since laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not more likely to spread the COVID-19 infection than open cholecystectomy, it must be organized in such a way as to be carried out safely even in the present situation, to gu…
Viral exanthema as manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection
2020
Abstract Rationale: The clinical manifestations of the SARS-CoV-2 infection are mainly respiratory but the virus can cause a variety of symptoms. Dermatological findings are less well-characterized. Data is scarce on their timing, type and correlation with the immune response. Patient concerns: We present the case of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a previously healthy woman who presented with respiratory symptoms and developed anosmia, diarrhea, and an erythematous maculo-papular rash on day 15 from symptom onset. Diagnosis: The nasopharyngeal swab tested by real time PCR for COVID-19 was positive. We interpreted this as a viral exanthema likely caused by an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 nucleotid…
