Sopravvivere all’omicidio di un familiare: i costi psichici della violenza mafiosa

2017

Le ricadute della presenza delle organizzazioni criminali di stampo mafioso sul territorio nazionale sono state esaminate da diverse discipline. Tuttavia, poca attenzione è stata ancora data ai danni psicologici che la mafia produce sui cittadini e su intere comunità. Alcune ricerche realizzate dal gruppo sulla psicologia del fenomeno mafioso dell’Università di Palermo hanno messo in luce come le continue pressioni psicologiche inferte dalla mafia alle vittime dirette ed indirette del crimine, producano significative e inevitabili ricadute sul loro sistema familiare e sociale con conseguenti intense ripercussioni sul benessere psico-fisico e sulla qualità della vita. In questo contributo ri…

Systemic hemostatic agents initiated in trauma patients in the pre-hospital setting: a systematic review

2022

Abstract Purpose The effect of systemic hemostatic agents initiated during pre-hospital care of severely injured patients with ongoing bleeding or traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains controversial. A systematic review and meta-analysis was therefore conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of systemic hemostatic agents as an adjunctive therapy in people with major trauma and hemorrhage or TBI in the context of developing the Italian National Institute of Health guidelines on major trauma integrated management. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to October 2021 for studies that investigated pre-hospital initiated treatment with systemic hemostati…
