Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the tonsil: A new management

2015

Introduction: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare tumor of all plasma cell neoplasms. The tumor is mainly localized in the head and neck region, but rarely involving the tonsil. Case presentation: The authors report the 5th case of EMP of the tonsil in the literature occurred in a 57-year-old Caucasian male. Conclusions: Through a review of the relevant literature, we consider adjuvant radiotherapy not necessary for EMP of tonsil because of an adequate resection achieved by surgery.

L’Aula Magna dell'Università di Palermo: cronistoria di un cantiere decorativo (1928-1938)

2020

Situata all'interno dell'odierno Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza, l'Aula Magna dell'Università di Palermo è stata progettata dall'architetto Antonio Zanca che firma nel 1929 il progetto esecutivo di un ambiente neo-settecentesco dotato di mobilio e decorazioni pittoriche sulle pareti. Nel 1934 è stato indetto un concorso nazionale per l'affidamento delle decorazioni pittoriche vinto da Arduino Angelucci e Manlio Giarrizzo cui spettano rispettivamente la volta e le pareti. Grazie alla stampa locale è possibile ricostruire - almeno in parte - le vicende di questo concorso che si colloca in un contesto nazionale fortemente attento, dopo la Triennale di Milano del 1933, al problema della decoraz…

Pharmacological treatment of sensorineural hearing loss

2019

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a common and alarming symptom of about 360 million people that suffer from hearing impairment worldwide. The sudden sensorineural hearing loss usually arises unilaterally and it is habitually described as greater than 30dB hearing reduction, attributable to lesions of the cochlea, cranial nerve VIII, brainstem and temporal lobe. There are many factor that promote the onset of this lesions such us infections, circulatory diseases, inner ear neoplasia and neurological disorders. This pathology is characterized by primary symptoms such as the impairment of the comprehension of spoken language and the struggling to listen to music. Subsequently, secondary sy…

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Larynx: Case report.

2007

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) of the larynx are uncommon lesions that easily may be misinterpreted as malignant epithelial or mesenchymal spindle cell neoplasms. When located in the upper airway, IMTs tend to be less aggressive, but have the potential for local invasion and recurrence. The authors describe a rare case of IMT in a 47 year old man, occurring in the vocal fold who underwent surgical treatment five times, because of its higher recurrence rate

Swallowing Outcomes in Open Partial Horizontal Laryngectomy Type I and Endoscopic Supraglottic Laryngectomy: A Comparative Study

2022

Background: Effective swallowing represents the main challenge in supraglottic laryngectomy. This study aimed to assess swallowing outcome comparing endoscopic supraglottic laryngectomy (ESL) and open partial horizontal laryngectomy type I (OPHL I). Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on 20 patients that underwent supraglottic laryngectomy from 2015 to 2021: 10 underwent ESL (group A) and 10 underwent OPHL I (Group B). Patients underwent fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) 3 months and 12 months after surgery and videofluoroscopy swallowing studies (VFSS) 12 months after surgery. A Swallowing Outcome After Laryngectomy (SOAL) questionnaire was administered to pa…

Hemangiopericytoma: A cause of recurrent epistaxis

2020

Hemangiopericytoma is a soft tissue tumor with histological variability and unpredictable clinical and biological behavior. this disease is uncommon in the head and neck and the growth pattern is unspecific; thus, diagnosis is often made by exclusion. A 43-year-old woman presented with a story of recurrent epistaxis associated to a growing mass in the paranasal sinus and a paraneoplastic syndrome. the imaging revealed an hypervascular tumor in the right nasal cavity and obliteration of all the ipsilateral sinus cavities. after biopsy the lesion was removed with resolution of epistaxis and paraneoplastic syndrome. There has been no evidence of disease recurrence in 3 years of follow-up. Our …

Infrastructure as interface. Thinking the urban and the high -speed station: italian case-studies.

2011

This presentation will document some results of an ongoing research focusing on the role of infrastructure in contemporary design practice. The methodology is based on critical design theory and combines theoretical aspects with a case-study approach, at the junction of infrastructure, urban design and architecture. It is already well documented that 19th and 20th century infrastructure have deeply affected their programs in order to face new challenges over the last 30 decades. Railway stations are leading examples in this fields: they have gradually implemented their design, that already integrated commercial spaces and facilities, until involving in public space transformation. Instead, …

Frequenza e fenotipo delle mutazioni GJB2 in pazienti con ipoacusia neurosensoriale non-sindromica congenita: analisi di una coorte della Sicilia Occ…

Circa il 60% delle ipoacusie congenite sono associate a cause genetiche nei paesi sviluppati. La sordità genetica è classificata in sindromica (30%) e non sindromica (70%), quest’ultima riconducibile in più del 50% dei casi a mutazioni del gene GJB2. Tale gene, espresso nella coclea, codifica per la proteina gap junction “Connessina 26”, la cui funzione è cruciale per la comunicazione intercellulare. L’obiettivo del nostro lavoro è stato quello di stimare la frequenza delle mutazioni GJB2 e la loro correlazione con il fenotipo audiologico in 102 pazienti siciliani affetti da sordità neurosensoriale congenita non sindromica (NSHL) bilaterale e portatori di almeno una mutazione del gene GJB2.…

CULTURA DELLA RAGIONEVOLEZZA DEI TEMPI PROCESSUALI, GARANZIE CEDU E RIMEDI INTERNI:IL CASO ITALIANO TRA ESPERIENZE E PROSPETTIVE DI RIFORMA

Mai come negli ultimi decenni il volto della Giustizia è apparso così contrassegnato da rugosità e increspature che ne hanno evidenziato il suo lento stato di senescenza e deterioramento. Agli occhi della collettività ha, ormai, assunto l’aspetto di intollerabile luogo d’inefficienza e sono tutti in grado di riconoscerne il suo male maggiore, radicato nell’estenuante lentezza dei suoi riti. Invero, il tempo è un elemento imprescindibile della qualità del processo sotto una duplice prospettiva: “occorre tempo per decidere, ma occorre altresì decidere in tempo”, e il tempo fissato per la decisione giudiziaria è un tempo dalla necessaria ragionevole durata. Il perseguimento di questa durata ra…
