A High-Throughput Mechanical Activator for Cartilage Engineering Enables Rapid Screening of in vitro Response of Tissue Models to Physiological and S…

2021

Articular cartilage is crucially influenced by loading during development, health, and disease. However, our knowledge of the mechanical conditions that promote engineered cartilage maturation or tissue repair is still incomplete. Current in vitro models that allow precise control of the local mechanical environment have been dramatically limited by very low throughput, usually just a few specimens per experiment. To overcome this constraint, we have developed a new device for the high throughput compressive loading of tissue constructs: the High Throughput Mechanical Activator for Cartilage Engineering (HiT-MACE), which allows the mechanoactivation of 6 times more samples than current tech…

La scelta del trauma. Eraldo Affinati negli anni '90

2017

The article reads the short stories and novels by the Italian writer Eraldo Affinati in the 1990s, with special regard to a twofold aspect: the cultural appropriation of a post-war traumatic experience by an author born in 1956, which lead to the strive to re-invent one's own past in an eventless present. Affinati's ethical approach to fiction is deeply questioned in the last part of the essay

In sordina a Auschwitz. Tra sensibilità e razionalità, ordinario e straordinario

2015

Sono tornato da Auschwitz e una strana sensazione mi è rimasta incollata addosso, sulla coscienza e sulla pelle, sui panni puliti e sul respiro pesante che riverso sul mondo indaffarato nel solito trantran di sempre. Routine? Ordinario e straordinario si richiamano e s’intrecciano: da qualche giorno, Auschwitz non è però più per me una parola, per quanto terribile, ma un riferimento concreto, materiale, ancorato a un mio pezzo di vissuto di ‘pellegrino’ attento a ciò che succede intorno al suo presente. Sono a casa mia e ripenso alle baracche dei sopravvissuti nei campi di concentramento: vivo una realtà ordinaria e ripenso a una straordinaria, quasi inconcepibile e inimmaginabile. Rifletto…

Memory function after resolution of post traumatic amnesia

2005

Primary objectives: The aims of this pilot study were (1) to examine neuropsychological, particularly memory functions immediately after post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) resolution according to the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT), and (2) to provide a preliminary exploration of pattern of performance on GOAT items across PTA duration. Methods and procedures: Thirty-seven head injured patients were administered the Recognition Memory Tests on the day that PTA resolved. Formal neuropsychological assessment was conducted on average 10 days after PTA resolution. Main outcomes and results: All the patients in the series showed memory impairment which varied in severity but was typicall…

Sibling relationship as a resource to cope a traumatic event.

2014

The study investigated the correlation between the perception of sibling relationship to cope an adverse occurrence – the partial collapse of a primary school – and the indicators related to the traumatic impact set off by the event, by soliciting the child’s reminiscence of the catastrophic experience. One hundred trauma-exposed children were recruited from a Sicilian primary school and were administered the following research instruments: the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC-A), to investigate the traumatized response that can be triggered in the children involved; the Brother as a Resource Questionnaire (BRQ), to delve into the perception of sibling relationship as a resource.…

Trasmissione intergenerazionale dell’attaccamento in casi di donne con partner violenti: Uno studio pilota.

2015

Early negative experiences could facilitate the formation of insecure internal working models and could deteriorate symbolic competence; in adulthood, attachment style could affect partner’s choice and parenting function. Current research on attachment intergenerational transmission shows that exposure to domestic violence is associated to maladaptive outcome in children. In order to give evidence to intergenerational con- tinuity of attachment we analyzed early traumatic experiences and attachment styles in a group of five family units, who were living in a Safe House for women and chil- dren escaped from domestic violence. The Adult Attachment Interview was adminis- tered to five mothers,…

Il disturbo da gioco d'azzardo: la dipendenza patologica come patologia della relazione

2020

Gambling disorder is placed in DSM-5 among addictive disorders in the subsection of “non-substance-related disorders”, defining it as «persistent and recurrent problematic gambling behavior leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, in a 12-month period» (APA, 2013). The aim of this paper, through a review of the literature and a description of a clinical case, is to highlight the relational aspect of the GAP disorder by describing different forms of “relationship pathology” among its main effects. National and international literature highlights how the gambling represents a traumatic family experience, that involves all the systems of the player life with both human and soc…

Corps et traumatisme

2013

il testo riporta una ricerca sulla trasmissione del trauma tra generazioni, con riferimento ai deportati nei campi di concentramento. La distruzione della memoria, attraverso la spoliazione totale di ogni oggetto, le condizioni di sopravvivenza assolutamente precarie, la distruzione sistematica del corpo, tendono alla completa depersonalizzazione e alla fine di ogni identità possibile. Nel lavoro si trovano riferimenti anche ai processi di guarigione possibile e alla possibilità del recupero della memoria
