    No full text
    Appendectomy is one of the most frequently performed operative procedures in general surgery departments of every size and category. Laparoscopic Appendectomy - LA - as compared to Open Appendectomy - OA - was very controversial at first but has found increasing acceptance all over the World, although the percentage of its acceptance is different in the various single National setting. Various meta-analyses and Cochrane reviews have compared LA with OA and different technical details. Furthermore, new surgical methods have recently emerged, namely, the single-port/incision laparoscopic appendectomy and NOTES technique. Their distribution among the hospitals, however, is unclear. Using laparoscopic mini-instruments with trocars of 2-3.5 mm diameter is proposed as a reliable alternative due to less postoperative pain and improved aesthetics. How to proceed in case of an inconspicuous appendix during a procedure planned as an appendectomy remains controversial despite existing study results. But the main question still is: operate or not operate an acute appendicitis, in the meaning of an attempt of a conservative antibiotic therapy. Therefore, we have done a literature survey on the performance of appendectomies and their technical details as well as the management of the intraoperative finding of an inconspicuous appendix in order to write down - under the light of the latest evidence - a position paper. © 2014 Agresta et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd

    In her thesis, Agresta analyses wills from Castello d’Empuries in 1286-1363, challenging the assumption that these wills represent the true, final concerns of the dying. Agresta argues that these documents blend the personal with the professional as a collaboration between a testator and their notary. She views the will not as purely spiritual or familial, but as the notary’s application of social norms and trends to the testator’s plan for salvation. This thesis looks at the repetitive nature of testaments as a contribution of the role of notaries in the will-making process uses this as a basis for reevaluating the meaning of wills and the importance of notaries, which increased over the time period

    Le "Fenomeno Zola" et le marché noir des traductions italiennes de l'oeuvre du maitre du naturalisme

    No full text
    Le fenomeno Zola éclate en Italie avec la publication de L’Assommoir (1877) qui, pour sa portée scandaleuse, suscite nombre de débats chez les critiques ainsi qu’un vif succès de public. À partir de ce moment, le marché éditorial italien assiste à une explosion de la demande d’œuvres du maître du Naturalisme et à une multiplication croissante des traductions des romans de Zola. Dans le climat de changements et d’effervescence culturelle, tel qu’il l’était celui de l’Italie post-unitaire, la réception de l’œuvre et de l’image zolienne a subi d’altérations importantes. Dans cet article, on essayera de retracer les facteurs qui ont contribué à la diffusion d’une perception erronée du Naturalisme dans le Beau Pays et de mettre en relief les « effets secondaires » du succès de l’écrivain qui ont affecté pendant décennies la juste réception de la doctrine naturaliste en Italie et qui, aujourd’hui encore, empêchent de porter un jugement vraiment objectif sur l’art de Zola
