    The contribution analyses the autobiographical narration of Eugenio Borgna, the world-renowned phenomenological psychiatrist, in the light of his education which from early childhood and adolescence has been forged by German poetry and literature. The article intends to be a tribute to the interpretations with which Eugenio Borgna was and is still able to enrich the panorama of German studies by greatly contributing to the spread of German literature and culture in Italy and all over the world, thanks to the enormous success of its publications and translations in several languages

    The Trapeza cemetery near Aigion: its western connection in a diachronic perspective

    In this contribution some results from the recent fieldwork at the Mycenaean chamber tombs cemetery of the Trapeza of Aigion are presented; in particular the occupation of Tomb 1 is contextualised within a period ranging from the 15th to the 11th century BC. The re-use of the tomb in the Post-palatial period, after the critical date of 1200 BC, seems to have coincided with a time of expansion and cultural vitality of the small community of the Trapeza, most probably as a consequence of the increasing importance of the Corinthian Sea in the east–west-oriented relationships on a Mediterranean scale. The diachronic perspective adopted in this study permits us to focus on an intense Aegean–Adriatic interaction during the last phase of burial occupation in LH IIIC Late/SM or advanced Italian Final Bronze Age. The study of the pottery in its context reveals a phenomenon of convergence in the field of ritual practices and symbolic behaviours, implying social exchange and mobility of both ideas and people along the Adriatic and Ionian seas

    Complications of thalassemia major and their treatment

    The life of patients with thalassemia has improved both in duration and in quality in industrialized countries. Complications are still common and include heart disease (heart failure and arrhythmias), chronic liver hepatitis, which can evolve in cirrhosis and, rarely, in hepatocellular carcinoma, endocrine problems (hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, diabetes, hypoparathyroidism), stunted growth, osteoporosis, thrombophilia and pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The incidence of complications is decreasing in younger cohorts of patients who have been transfused with blood that has been screened for viruses and thanks to the introduction of new oral iron chelators and imaging methods. The accurate measurement of iron deposits allows better management of iron overload. In addition, therapy for several complications is available. Specialized competence in treating patients with thalassemia is of great importance. © 2011 Expert Reviews Ltd
