Qualifying & attacking expert witnesses.
No full textQualifying & attacking expert witnesses by David J. Galluzzo and Robert C. Clifford can show you how to dig deep for unreliable testimony, no matter how sterling the expert's credentials. Disqualifying, cross-examining, and impeaching your opponent's expert. Controlling expert witness costs. Effectively presenting your expert. It's all here. Includes pattern questions by expert type

A glance into the future of myositis therapy
No full textThe idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are chronic diseases of the skeletal muscle that comprise various conditions, including dermatomyositis, polymyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, and the antisynthetase syndrome. Although there are a number of distinguishing features, all these disorders are characterized by an immune and inflammatory response mainly directed against the muscle. Hence, therapy is geared toward curbing the autoimmune and inflammatory response. A quite wide range of medications are currently available to treat these disorders, but despite all therapeutic progress still a number of patients are unable to maintain a sustained remission. In this review article, we have marshaled a variety of potential therapeutic agents that may hold promise for the future treatment of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. It is to be expected that by increasing the therapeutic armamentarium with agents that have different mechanisms of action even challenging cases could be successfully managed, thus reducing disease burden and disability
Sviluppo di un sistema di supporto decisionale tipo Fuzzy per il controllo della glicemia post-prandiale nel diabete mellito tipo 1

No full textDevelopment of a fuzzy expert system for the control of glycemia in type 1 diabetic patients
No full textThe paper describes the structure and the characteristics of an expert system that allows
the optimization of postprandial glycemia in type 1 diabetic patients. The expert system
is able to provide patients with the number of rapid insulin units that must be taken in
order to keep the blood glucose level close to the omeostatic condition in the hours

Maxillo-facial fractures: diagnostic role of multiplanar and 3D TC imaging with multislice technique
No full textThe purpose of our research was to verify, in a selected series of 37 patients, not only the real validity of multislice CT employment with 2D and 3D reformatted images in pre-surgical evaluation, but also the real necessity to use this technique as elective methodological procedure for maxillo-facial fractures in emergency. Material and methods. 37 selected patients (24 males, 13 females), with age ranging from 17 to 63 years (mean age 33 years), underwent multislice CT examination at the casualty department of the hospital San Camillo of Rome, from October 2004 to March 2005. In all the patients the computed tomography was carried out with spiral technique (General Electric Light Speed - 8 crowns), using thin acquisition of 2.5 mm, with configuration of the eight detectors 8 x 1,25 or 8 x 2,25, with values of pitch equal to 1 (in some cases 1, according to thickness of the anatomical volume to appraise), with interval and thickness of retro-reconstruction respectively of 1 mm and of 1,25 mm. The parameters of exposure were: 280 mAs, 120 Kv and a time for total scanning of 10-15 sec. (for only maxillofacial structures). Results. The results of the study were: 7 out of 37 patients reproduced a facial smash, 26 out of 37 patients showed a complex fracture: 8 patients with a nasal-ethmoidalorbital fractures, 7 patients with a zygomatico-maxillary fracture, 5 patients with a nasal-maxillary fracture; 4 patients with a condylar or subcondylar fracture, 1 patient with multiple fracture of jaw, 1 patient with fracture of the orbital floor (blow out); and 4 patients showed a picture of malar fracture. On the total of the examined patients, 26 (70 %) showed solitary or multiple fractures of the orbital walls. In particular in 9 cases were found fractures of the orbital floor, of which 6 with sinking of bony fragments in the underlying maxillary sinus (blow out). The medial walls of the orbit were involved in the complex fractures in 7 cases. In 11 cases presented fractures of the orbital lateral walls. Discussion. The most important aspect emerged by this experience was the absence of patients in which the classical pattern of fracture, in accordance with the historical Le Fort classification, was reproduced faithfully, and the clean prevalence of complex fractures, that come out from the normal canons of classification. We wanted to underline the role of CT in the diagnosis in this type of fractures, and in particular of the spiral multislice technique, with axial volumetric thin acquisitions supplied with coronal/sagittal and 3D with volumetric rendering reconstructions. Conclusion. In comparison with the traditional CT examination that, in prevision of MPR and 3D reconstructions, results incompatible with the necessary time and accuracy request for emergency conditions, the spiral technique reduces drastically both the times and the radiant dose, allows to work in the phase of post-elaboration on the raw data of volumetric scanning, obtaining from the axial scans multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions of superior quality. Emphasis was placed also on the fact that the possibility to appraise the entity of the skeletal damages, the concomitant muscular lesions, of cerebral parenchyma and of the cervical rachis made this techniqueelective in this field. The MPR reconstructions hold particular importance because undoubtedly better underline the presence of suspected or badly definable lesions compared with axial scans and complete the diagnostic supply
