    For over one hundred years the Stefano manuscript was a private document in the possession of the Baccich family and descendants. It told a story of the 1875 Stefano shipwreck as narrated by the shipwreck survivor and the founding family patriarch Miho Baccich. In these circumstances the question of authorship of the manuscript was immaterial and did not arise as an issue. However, with the publication of the manuscript the author‟s name, or names, need to be formally attributed to it. It turns out that this is not such a clear-cut matter. As we shall see, all informed sources attributed the authorship, and the ownership, of the manuscript to Miho Baccich. But the manuscript itself was written by Canon Stjepan Skurla – a priest from Miho‟s hometown of Dubrovnik. The question then arises: should Skurla also be considered as an author of the manuscript, or, even as the sole author (as some would have it)

    Management of Lemierre Syndrome

    No full text
    Lemierre Syndrome is a rare form of septic thrombophlebitis of the head and neck veins, most typically of the internal jugular vein, which affects otherwise healthy adolescents and young adults after an oropharyngitis or other local infection. It is characterized by multiple septic embolization. Despite treatment, Lemierre Syndrome displays a high rate of in-hospital complications that include thrombus progression and a new peripheral septic embolization; moreover, it can be fatal or cause disabling sequelae. The mainstay of the treatment is antibiotic therapy; anticoagulation is often used, but its role is controversial. Surgical treatment is often necessary in case of peripheral septic lesions. In the absence of prospective studies, what little guidance exists on its management is based on case series or on analogy with similar conditions, such as other forms of septic thrombophlebitis or non-septic venous thrombosis. Over the last few years, new observational evidence has improved our knowledge of the clinical epidemiology of this condition and highlighted a number of promising management strategies. We provide an overview of the treatment patterns adopted in the contemporary era, and summarize the arguments proposed so far against or in favor of alternative treatments as well as possible decision rules on the use of anticoagulation. Moreover, we outline the priorities of ongoing and future observational and interventional research

    In this expert analysis, Professor Stefano Bastianon dissects the CJEU’s landmark Seraing ruling (Case C-600/23), which reshapes the contours of sports arbitration under EU law. With particular focus on judicial review and EU public policy, the author explores how the Court balances the autonomy of arbitral mechanisms like CAS with the imperative of effective judicial protection — a judgment that could have far-reaching implications for the future of dispute resolution in sport

    Cenozoic evolution of Muricidae (Mollusca, Neogastropoda) in the Southern Ocean, with the description of a new subfamily

    Gastropods are among the most studied group in Antarctica, and taxa with an advanced status of systematic knowledge can be used as a model to study how oceanographic and climatic patterns shaped Recent faunal assemblages. Within the ongoing study of the muricid phylogeny, we have analysed molecular and morphological data from species traditionally ascribed to the muricid subfamily Trophoninae. Particularly, the availability of specimens collected in the Southern Ocean and surrounding basins allowed to demonstrate as the genera Pagodula, Xymenopsis, Xymene and Trophonella, which are traditionally classified in the Trophoninae, actually belong to a distinct lineage, for which the new subfamily Pagodulinae is herein introduced. We propose and discuss a possible framework for the origin and radiation of Antarctic muricid
