La Vestale 'incesta'
No full textMarcello Salvadore: La Vestale incesta.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Pliny the Younger and Plutarch are the sources
of a detailed account of Vestalis incesta’s punishment: they say that she was
sentenced to death. Dionysius adds that there was no after death ritual.
Modern scholars generally accept what the three authors assert. In this article
the author surmises that the Vestalis incesta, together with the parricida, was
not condemned to death: both of them were sentenced to a particular kind
of banishment from the Society
De Lope a Celano: la adaptación italiana de "Los tres diamantes"
No full textAbstract
This paper explores an Italian adaptation of Lope de Vega’s play Los tres diamantes, written in the
second part of the seventeenth century. Its author, Carlo Celano, was a famous writer of opere regie,
i.e., adaptations of Spanish comedies of situation. The analysis focuses on the way in which the
adaptation of the Aristotelian units of space and time leads to a reduction of the characters and a
simplification of the situation, although this is compensated by enriching its ludic component. This
last trait can be also observed in a previous re-elaboration of Lope’s comedy, the scenario of the
Commedia dell’arte titled Il cavaliere dai tre gigli d’oro

No full textBoth soluble and nuclear oestrogen receptors have been measured in at least two separate sections from 72 endometrial. cancers and 12 normal endometria. Concentration of oestrogen receptor is shown to be, in our hands, more meaningful when expressed per unit DNA than per unit protein, whether for soluble or nuclear receptor. Endometrial cancer cells from the central part of the tumour are shown to be receptor negative more frequently than those from peripheral tumour. Thus, in large cancers, biopsies from different areas are required before a tumour can be correctly designated as receptor positive, heterogeneous or receptor negative. The intratumoral variation of receptor status may relate to poor prognosis, since patients with homogeneous receptor-positive disease survive significantly longer than those with tumours showing either heterogeneous distribution of receptor or homogeneous absence of receptor. Intratumoral variation in receptor status is found to be more common in the group of patients who are within 7 years of their menopause, than in older patient
Liver Transplantation in a Monolung Patient: A Strategy of Sequential Treatments of Multiple Lung Tuberculosis Ca-vitations and Hepatocellular Carcinoma on Hepatitis B Related Virus Cirrhosis
No full textThe presence of extrahepatic infection is a contraindication for liver transplantation, even more if supported by an advanced pulmonary tuberculosis with persistent cavitation not curable with medical treatment. We report a case of a young patient with hepatocellular carcinoma on hepatitis B virus related liver cirrhosis and multiple lung tuberculosis cavitations. The patient was referred to our centre for liver transplantation. We adopted a strategy with sequential treatments. First a left extra-pericardial pneumonectomy was performed without opening the infected cavern, followed by a therapy with rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol for a period of nine months. After the cure of tuberculosis, the monolung patient eventually was listed for liver transplantation. An accurate planning of a multistep therapeutical strategy, an appropriate anesthetic man- agement and a meticulous surgical technique allowed to successfully transplant a young patient suffering from three life-threatening diseases: cavitary tuberculosis, hepatitis B virus cirrhosis and hepatocellular car- cinoma. Thirty months after liver transplantation the patient is in good health, with normal liver function, forced expiratory volume in one second of 42% (1.53 liters) and without any tuberculosis disease reactiva- tion
