The role of educative thought in the life and work of Antonio Gramsci
No full textMany philosophers have propounded a vision of an improved society, what distinguishes Antonio Gramsci is his continuous effort to make it happen by understanding the process in order to put into practice. Gramsci's conviction about the importance of educative development came from both theory and experience. While there has been considerable examination of Gramsci's work in relation to the Prison Notebooks, this study will seek to address a lacuna in Gramsci scholarship. Using Gramsci's philological method, I analyse Gramsci's pre-prison activity; his pre-prison articles and letters, which, together with his letters from prison, formed part of his educative mission. This educative process was necessary, in order to construct a new party which would develop a collective will, collaboratively, with the masses.In this study therefore, I explore the contexts and formative experiences of the first part of his life together with the intellectual sources from which Gramsci developed his later theories, making central hitherto underemphasised connections between them which informed his writing and ideas. I intend to illustrate that Gramsci's underlying purpose in his writing, and political activity, was not only practical, on how to create a new socialist ruling class, but also educative in forming the mindset and values of his comrades. So that in addition to outlining his vision of a new order, he implicitly guided or explicitly explained the processes by which the necessary changes in social relations and moral climate could be made in order to achieve it. Each person had to engage with the values of the new order so that each could contribute to the construction of a new robust state. It was essential to build a hegemony at the most profound level, one which was dependent on collective understandings and a collective will
Collegium of the Head Anesthesiologists and Intensivists of the Campania Region (CPARC): Proceeding of the 28th Conference ‘Sicurezza in Anestesia' [Safety in Anesthesia], November 29-December 1, 2018; Naples, Italy
No full textWe are very proud to present the proceeding of the 28th Italian Conference ‘Sicurezza in Anestesia’ (Safety in Anesthesia), held from 29 November to 1 December in Naples, Italy. A total of 250 clinicians (anesthesiologists, general internists, intensivists) and nurses attended the meeting and discussed a variety of issues related to safety in anesthesia. The conference was only possible with the zealous and ardent efforts of Prof Arturo Cuomo and the members of the ‘Collegio dei Primari di Anestesia e Rianimazione della Regione Campania’ (CPARC) which is the collegium of the directors of the anesthesia divisions and intensive care units of Campania region, southern Italy.
Eight special comprehensive lectures, focused on the topic of clinical practice to be performed safely in anesthesia, were provided: 1) minimum standards for safety in anesthesia (Prof Flavia Petrini); 2) preoperative anesthesia evaluation (Prof Eugenio Agrò); 3) pediatric regional anesthesia guidelines (Prof Giorgio Ivani); 4) anesthesia awareness, postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (Dr Marco Cascella); 5) intraoperative hemodynamic ultrasound monitoring (Dr. Raffaele Di Minno); 6) roles of anesthesiologists in different clinical settings (Prof Alberto Zangrillo); 7) end-of-life management in the intensive care unit (Prof Antonino Giarratano); 8)intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (Prof Luigi Tritapepe).
Several scholars presented the results of their recent research, touching upon many important aspects of anesthesia practice: a) intraoperative brain monitoring (Dr. Giuseppe Lubrano); b) perioperative nutritional support (Dr. Italia Odierna); c) postoperative pain management by sublingual approach (Dr. Marco Rispoli); d) intraoperative non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring (Dr Clelia Esposito); e) management in emergency of patient with vascular diseases (Dr Rosanna De Rosa).
Other oral presentations on intraoperative fluid management, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, Italian Society of Anesthesia Analgesia Reanimation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) airways management guidelines, protective ventilation strategies in obese patients and obstetric analgesia were respectively given by Prof Nicola Brienza, Prof Astrid Ursula Behr, Prof Massimiliano Sorbello, Prof Pasquale Sansone and Prof Eduardo De Robertis.
Prof Elvio De Blasio, who is an opinion leader in sepsis and septic shock introduced the lecture of Prof Luca Lorini. Prof Maria Beatrice Passavanti, Prof Gennaro Savoia, and Prof Arturo Cuomo discussed multimodal approaches for postoperative pain management with special regard to cognitively impaired patients and those on opioid addiction treatment.
In a dedicated session of the congress, Professors Anna Maria Cerbone, Lucio Bucci and Fabio Gori debated on coagulation abnormalities and new treatment strategies in anesthesia and intensive care unit. The last day of the Conference Dr. Pasquale Aprea focused on the vascular access procedures and Dr Giovanni Petrillo discussed on safety procedures and roles of nurses in the theatre.
The guest editor Dr Marco Cascella, the President Prof Arturo Cuomo, and the CPARC members would like to thank all speakers and participants for their contributions. First of all, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Professors Caterina Aurilio, Maria Caterina Pace, Pasquale Sansone, and Maria Beatrice Passavanti of the University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’ for their active collaboration.
Furthermore, we are sincerely grateful to Dr Dario Galante, Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Clinical Anesthesia for accepting the proceedings of the Conference and their precious cooperation in publishing this paper. Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Dr Francesca Cavaliere and the staff of CapriMed for organizing this event. It is our sincere belief that this significant collaboration and partnership will be further strengthened in the years to come. A selection of thirteen interesting abstracts has been included in this manuscript

Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Perspectives for Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy
No full textChemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) develops as a challenging nerve-damaging adverse effect of anticancer drugs used in chemotherapy. The disorder may require a chemotherapy dose reduction and a cessation of administration of chemotherapeutic drugs. Its principal sensory symptoms include, tingling, and numbness in the hands and feet. Severe pain can be encompassed among clinical manifestations. CIPN affects dramatically the patient's quality of life (QoL). Pain and sensory symptoms may occur for months, or even years after the termination of chemotherapeutic drugs. Although many pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic approaches have been tested to overcome these symptoms, there is currently no standardized treatment for CIPN. According to current guidelines, Duloxetine is the only recommended agent for painful neuropathic symptoms. Therefore, finding effective therapies for CIPN is mandatory. The aim of this review was to dissect CIPN, the target and immunotherapy-based approaches to this disorder, as well as to offer new insights for new therapeutic perspectives

No full textCurrent shreds of evidence on the anticancer role of EGCG in triple negative breast cancer: an update of the current state of knowledge
No full textTriple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), represents a subtype of breast cancer in which the estrogens receptor (ER) negative, the progesterone receptor (PR) negative and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative, are not expressed. Thusly, TNBC does not respond to hormonal therapies or to those targeting the HER2 protein receptors. To overcome this flawed issue, new alternative therapies based on the use of natural substances, as the (-) - epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), has been proposed. It is largely documented that EGCG, the principal constituent of green tea, has suppressive effects on different types of cancer, including breast cancer, through the regulation of different signaling pathways. Thus, is reasonable to assume that EGCG could be viewed as a therapeutic option for the prevention and the treatment of TNBC. Here, we summarizing these promising results with the scope of turn a light on the potential roles of EGCG in the treatment of TNBC patients
