Beginning and growth of a family in Vercelli between XII and XIV century: the Tizzoni
No full textLa presente ricerca si occupa dei Tizzoni, una delle famiglie più importanti della Vercelli medievale, mai studiata prima in modo approfondito se non in relazione ad alcuni particolari momenti della storia vercellese. Di assai oscure origini, i Tizzoni, che probabilmente devono la loro fortuna al commercio, o all'attività feneratizia, compaiono improvvisamente nella documentazione comunale alla fine del XII secolo in posizione nettamente preminente, ricoprendo fin dall'inizio magistrature e incarichi assai importanti per il tardo comune consolare. Il passaggio al comune podestarile porta a un ulteriore rafforzamento familiare, non interrotto dalla prima guerra civile vercellese, 1243-1254. Contrariamente a quanto affermato dalla storiografia erudita ottocentesca e del primo Novecento, i Tizzoni non diventano che gradualmente capi della parte ghibellina, venendo attestati con questa funzione solo a partire dagli ultimi trent'anni del Duecento. Imparentati con i Visconti di Milano, nel 1335 sarà proprio un Tizzoni, Riccardo, a far sì che Vercelli passi fra i possessi dell'importante casato milanese, perdendo così la propria indipendenza.
A differenza dei loro acerrimi nemici, gli Avogadro, i Tizzoni non esprimono mai un membro della loro famiglia fra i canonici del capitolo della cattedrale vercellese di S. Eusebio, e nessuno di loro ricopre la carica vescovile. Dotati di un patrimonio fondiario abbastanza vasto, sebbene concentrato nella zona a sud-ovest di Vercelli, i Tizzoni sono ben radicati anche nel tessuto urbano vercellese, dove risultano tra i principali proprietari di immobili
A case series analysing patients with dental anxiety : A patient-centered model based on psychological profiling
No full textAnxiety and distress can jeopardize dental care experience of patients and may affect the clinical result. Although a wide range of sedation and analgesia techniques are currently available to relieve distress and pain during dental procedures, operative models to choose the most effective sedation-analgesic strategies are still insufficient. This case series proposes a patient-centered model to optimize patients' cooperation during dental care delivery. We describe how to achieve correct anaesthesia by using the least sedative procedure, accounting for the dental procedure needed and patient's psychological profile. Five patients were considered as paradigmatic to show the balance between patients' subjective experiences and the clinical procedures: a patient with low stress, good compliance (case 1); a patient with moderate stress and reduction in compliance (case 2); anxious patient (case 3); a patient with acute anxiety and emotional distress (case 4); anguished patient (case 5). A multimodal treatment of emotional and behavioural condition and a patient-centered model approach contributed to achieve the best patient satisfaction in the five cases detailed here

Atypical odontalgia and trigeminal neuralgia: psychological, behavioral and psychopharmacological approach in a dental clinic – an overview of pathologies related to the challenging differential diagnosis in orofacial pain
No full textOrofacial pain represents a challenge for dentists, especially if it does not have an odontogenic origin. Orofacial neuropathic pain may be chronic, is arduous to localize and may develop without obvious pathology. Comorbid psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression, coexist and negatively affect this condition. This article presents one case of atypical odontalgia and one of trigeminal neuralgia treated with psychological and psychopharmacological tailored and adapted therapies, after conventional medications had failed. Additionally, an overview of the pathologies related to the challenging differential diagnosis in orofacial pain is given. A 68-year-old man complained of chronic throbbing and burning pain in a maxillary tooth, which worsened upon digital pressure. Symptoms did not abate after amitriptyline therapy; psychological intervention along with antianxiety drug were supplemented and antidepressant agent dosage were incremented. The patient reported improvement and satisfaction with the multidisciplinary approach to his pathology. A 72-year-old man complained of chronic stabbing, intermittent, sharp, shooting and electric shock-like pain in an upper tooth, radiating and following the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Pain did not recur after psychological intervention and a prescription of antidepressant and antianxiety agents, while carbamazepine therapy had not been sufficient to control pain. Due to concerns with comorbid psychiatric disorders, we adopted a patient-centered, tailored and balanced therapy, favorably changing clinical outcomes. Comorbid psychiatric disorders have a negative impact on orofacial pain, and dentists should consider adopting tailored therapies, such as psychological counselling and behavioral and psychopharmacologic strategies, besides conventional treatments. They also must be familiar with the signs and symptoms of orofacial pain, obtaining a comprehensive view of the pathologies concerning the differential diagnosis. A prompt diagnosis may prevent pain chronicity, avoiding an increase in complexity and a shift to orofacial neuropathic pain and legal claims

No full textDuring a survey in an area of the Othris Mountains between Lamia and Dhomokos (Greek mainland) some slag heaps and ancient mining sites were examined and relevant samples collected. In the mining areas the main ores are copper sulphides and carbonates. No underground mine exploration was undertaken, so it was not possible to ascertain if the traces of ancient mining have survived the recent ore mining activities. Slags were found with Hellenistic sherds on the surface of some of the mining areas and in some of the settlement sites.
We have analysed different typologies of silicate slags: heavy and glassy slags. Some samples of furnace fragments have also
been analysed as well as few metallic slags (heavy slags), interpreted as remains of the reduction of copper ores. Principal phases observed are orthopyroxene, minor amounts of olivine and metallic phases. Textural evidence and mineral composition account for a reconstruction of the Cu-reduction process, which can be considered as efficient and accurate. The furnace fragments testify of the strong interaction between the charge and the furnace itself. The firing structure is thus participating in the reduction process together with ore and fuel
Media coverage of large countries at the 2015 Milan EXPO
No full textAn inertial bias or status quo bias in media industries, as in other markets, means the perpetuation of a certain
behaviour or attitude. If mass media frequently address certain issues, an inertial bias means that such
issues will be treated again independently of their absolute or relative newsworthiness. This paper studies
the inertial media bias in relation to the Milan Expo 2015, an event where, in theory, all participant countries
ought to have been considered equal. The empirical analysis considers the articles and reports on the Expo
of the two most important online Italian newspapers, Repubblica and Corriere della Sera between May and
October 2015. The estimates show that the newspapers devoted more articles and words to the largest
countries, while the slant towards the richest countries was less evident. In addition, the tone of the media
reports regarding large and rich countries was more positive
A patient with meningeal melanomatosis treated for periodontal disease with a bone regeneration procedure and dental implants: clinical and behavioral management to support medical compliance
No full textDuring the last three decades dental implants have become increasingly used in partially edentulous periodontally
compromised patients. The type of bacteria in the
peri-implant sulcus is influenced by the periodontal bacteria present on the surfaces of the remaining teeth. Peri-implant sulci of partially edentulous individuals harbour more motile rods and spirochetes than those of fully edentulous individuals. If Peri-implantitis arises, it may lead to implant failure. This complication occurs more frequently in patients with poor oral hygiene. This is a site-specific bacterial infection similar to that caused by periodontal bacteria around teeth and it should be prevented. This study was conducted to radiographically evaluate hard tissue response around 6 implants, over a 2-year period, in a previously surgically treated patient affected by severe chronic periodontitis. Psychological considerations and behavioral management of the patient are described. A complex implant-perio-prosthodontic case of a 54-year-old man affected by meningeal melanomatosis with a history of generalized severe chronic periodontitis was recruited. A comprehensive periodontal examination around teeth was accomplished before periodontal and implant treatment. After diagnostic work-up, compromised teeth from 1.3 to 2.3 and from 3.2 to 4.2 were extracted. Tooth 1.7 was also extracted. Afterwards fixed provisional
restoration rehabilitated all the natural dentition and the missing teeth. Endodonthic therapies were conducted on all the teeth due to high dentinal sensitivity and
pre-prosthodontic crown reconstructions performed. Periodontal surgery with modified Widman flaps were then accomplished on all the teeth. Three months later four maxillary implants in position 1.3,1.1,2.1,2.3 and two mandibular implants in position 4.2,3.2 were inserted. During mandibular implants positioning, the mental mussels were isolated and detached to achieve proper guided bone regeneration. During implant surgery, due to systemic conditions concern, the patient underwent intravenous sedation. Five months later the implants and the teeth were rehabilitated with fixed metal-ceramic bridges. Regarding the upper prosthetic rehabilitation, the incisors marginal edges were kept vertical to the nasal spine, due to lack of previous reference points. According to the reference points previously determined, the difference in bone level between radiographs taken at implants insertion and at the maintenance appointments was calculated. The health of the periodontally treated teeth resulted greatly enhanced. The mean alveolar bore loss was 0,30 mm after a 2-year observation period. The control of the periodontal disease before implant insertion in patients with severe chronic periodontitis is of paramount importance, as well as a regular maintenance program is essential for the health of the periodontal and peri-implant tissues. The management of patients with complex needs requires a multidisciplinary team designed to meet all the patient’s needs on various levels
