labial mucosa and combined labial/bladder mucosa free graft for urethral reconstruction
No full textOne-stage urethral reconstruction was performed using a free graft of labial mucosa and combined labial/bladder mucosa. We present the results of this technique in 12 cases that had a minimum follow-up period of 3 years. Eleven patients had medium penile or posterior hypospadias and one had chordee penis without hypospadias, Urethroplasty with labial mucosa was performed by two techniques: labial mucosa used alone or combined with bladder mucosa. The labial mucosa was harvested from the inner surface of the upper and/or lower lip, depending on which method was used. Seven patients, six with medium penile or posterior hypospadias and 1 with chordee without hypospadias, were given a labial mucosa graft alone; the urethral gap was 3.5 to 6 cm. The other five cases, all with posterior hypospadias, were treated by combined labial/bladder mucosa graft urethroplasty: the urethral gap was 6 to 13 cm. Follow-up (at 3 to 41/2 years) showed no complications apart from a urethral fistula in one patient and mild stenosis on the anastomosis in four cases, which required urethral dilatations in the first month after surgery.

No full textDal 27 al 29 novembre, a Bolzano, negli spazi del Four Points By Sheraton Hotel, si è svolta la XXII Conferenza della Federazione delle Associazioni Scientifiche per le Informazioni Territoriali e Ambientali (ASITA). ASITA raggruppa quattro associazioni scientifico-culturali italiane accumunate dall’esigenza di raccordare, sotto un’unica regìa, la conoscenza, l’analisi e la gestione dei dati geografici e delle informazioni ambientali che ognuna porta avanti sotto uno specifico profilo corrispondente alla propria mission: dal rilevamento, da terra e dallo spazio, al processamento e alla rappresentazione dei dati utilizzando tecniche GIS. Sorta nel 2009, dopo due conferenze “preparatorie” (la prima nel 2007 alla fiera di Parma e a Napoli l’anno successivo) durante le quali si è registrato il comune interesse per l’interscambio tra modalità di approccio all’analisi e al trattamento differenziato delle informazioni territoriali e ambientali, la federazione ha sancito la possibilità di un confronto culturale e scientifico inerente appunto il rilievo topografico (per tradizione della SIFET, la Società Italiana di Fotogrammetria e Topografia), l’acquisizione dei dati tramite telerilevamento (campo di ricerca dell’AIT, l’Associazione Italiana per il Telerilevamento), la loro rappresentazione (di storico interesse dell’AIC, l’Associazione Italiana di Cartografia) e il processamento e divulgazione delle tecniche GIS (curato da AM-FM GIS/Italia che si occupa di sistemi informativi geografici e sue applicazioni e diffusione), colmando così dei vuoti tra saperi e consentendo lo sviluppo di nuove forme di conoscenza integrate, pure non rinunciando alla specifica cultura settoriale

Occurrence of Phytophthora cinnamomi in cork oak forests in Italy
No full textAn increasing decline and mortality of cork oak trees have been recently observed in central Italy and Sardinia Island. Following surveys conducted in three declining cork oak forests, a Phytophthora species was consistently isolated from soil samples collected from trees displaying different level of decline. Based on morphological features, growth rates at different temperatures and analysis of DNA sequences of the ITS region, all isolates were identified as Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. This pathogen caused large brownish lesions on inoculated freshly cut branches of cork oak. It was re-isolated from all infected tissues. These findings represent the first report of P.cinnamomi on cork oak trees in Italy
Three cases of cardiac hydatidosis: diagnosis, surgical treatment, and complications
No full textThree cases of cardiac hydatid disease from among the many cases of hydatidosis (>300) in various organs observed by the authors are reported. The sites of the cysts and the complications that arose are described. The first case developed hydatid pulmonary embolism caused by rupture into the right ventricular cavity, the second suffered peripheral hydatid embolism caused by rupture into the left ventricular cavity, and the third, whose diagnosis was fortuitous, had no complications. The first patient died shortly after admission. The other two underwent radical pericystectomy and partial pericystectomy with cardiopulmonary bypass. The best result was obtained in the third case where rupture had not occurred. The second patient recovered but developed hemiparesis. The various diagnostic tools available are discussed, as well as some technical aspects of pericystectomy, which has a high mortality rate. The importance of early diagnosis and treatment of this rare localization of Echinococcus granulosus is emphasized, and echocardiography is recommended even for nonspecific cardiac symptoms in areas where the parasite is endemic
