Patologie rare dell'orecchio
2012
After fifty years of experience, mostly spent in ENT surgery at the University of Palermo, I have pleasure in presenting this Atlas of rare diseases of the ear, including clinical cases observed and documented during this long period from 1958 to 2006. We would prefer to divide all the case studies into three chapters: the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.

RARO CASO DI IPERPLASIA ANGIOLINFOIDE CON EOSINOFILIA DELLA REGIONE MASTOIDEA
2011
L’iperplasia angiolinfoide con eosinofilia (ALHE) è una rara malattia benigna ad eziologia poco chiara, anche se la malattia viene considerata dalla maggior parte degli autori un processo reattivo o di natura vascolare amartomatosa. Colpisce con leggera prevalenza il sesso femminile tra la III e la V decade ed è caratterizzata da lesioni papulose e nodulari con sede elettiva al capo, al collo e al condotto uditivo esterno, senza linfadenopatia e con lieve eosinofilia periferica. Dal punto di vista istologico è presente una proliferazione vascolare dermica e/o ipodermica accompagnata da un infiltrato in gran parte costituito da linfociti, istiociti ed eosinofili. Gli autori descrivono un cas…
Malformations of central nervous system: General issues
2013
Malformations of the central nervous system (CNS) encompass a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies that may be isolated or appear as part of a genetic syndrome. Advances in identifying the genetic etiology underlying many CNS malformation and syndromes have led to the current genetic-based classifications that allows us to better estimate prognosis and potential complications. Herein, we discuss the main genetic, clinical and radiological features and their implications for diagnostic testing and disease management
L'architettura del viaggio: le stazioni per l'alta velocità di Torino, Firenze e Roma
2012
The recent launching in Italy of a number of large scale urban operations centered around High Speed Railway (HSR) stations has added a wealth of examples and themes to the overall European picture; these go to make up a global point of reference for other countries that are, in this period, undertaking the construction of their own HSR networks. Above and beyond the territorial questions often linked to the issue, further research investigating the architectural aspect of these operations would be highly relevant, but is rather lacking. Instead, we shall be focusing on current HSR stations in Italy, such as Turin Porta Susa, Florence Belfiore and Rome Tiburtina, and comparing them briefly,…
Audiologic profile of OSAS and simple snoring patients: the effect of chronic nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function
2016
The objective of this work was to study the effect of nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function of simple snoring patients and subjects affected by OSAS; we compared the audiologic profile with the severity of OSAS to detect early signs of cochlear damage. One hundred-sixty patients underwent overnight polysomnography, micro-otoscopy, multi-frequency audiometry, acufenometry, TEOAE recording and d-ROMs test. All subjects were divided in four groups, based on presence/absence of AHI (simple snoring without OSAS, mild OSAS, moderate OSAS, severe OSAS). Sixty (37.5 %) patients were not affected by OSAS, 58 (36.25 %) presented a mild OSAS, 18 (11.25 %) a moderate OSAS and 24 (15 %) a …
Investigation of Tinnitus Patients in Italy: Clinical and Audiological Characteristics
2010
Objective. 312 tinnitus sufferers were studied in order to analyze: the clinical characteristics of tinnitus; the presence of tinnitus-age correlation and tinnitus-hearing loss correlation; the impact of tinnitus on subjects' life and where possible the etiological/predisposing factors of tinnitus.Results. There is a slight predominance of males. The highest percentage of tinnitus results in the decades 61–70. Of the tinnitus sufferers, 197 (63.14%) have a hearing deficit (light hearing loss in 37.18% of cases). The hearing impairment results of sensorineural type in 74.62% and limited to the high frequencies in 58.50%. The tinnitus is referred as unilateral in 59.93%, a pure tone in 66.99%…
Audiologic and psychological approach to patients with tinnitus: Preliminary findings
2006
Naso e dintorni
2009
Il termine di rinosinusite individua uno stato di flogosi della mucosa del naso e dei seni paranasali. Questa terminologia nasce dalla considerazione che la mucosa nasale e sinusale sono un’unica entità anatomo-funzionale, e supera così i vecchi concetti di “rinite” e “sinusite”. La rinosinusite è una patologia che colpisce un numero elevato di persone, sia adulti che bambini e ha mostrato un incremento d’incidenza progressivo negli ultimi anni parallelamente alla diffusione dell’allergopatia. Attualmente viene stimata una prevalenza di malattia del 14% circa nella popolazione generale. Di fatto il disturbo rinosinusale rappresenta uno dei principali motivi di consultazione del Medico di Me…
