Robotic Treatment of Inflammatory Diseases
No full textInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of immune-mediated bowel conditions, predominantly Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), significantly affecting patients’ quality of life. This chapter explores the evolving landscape of IBD management. With the emergence of novel therapeutic agents and a multidisciplinary approach, surgeons have become pivotal early in the disease course. At the same time, the advances in disease understanding, diagnostics, and surgical technology have enhanced treatment outcomes.
Surgical candidates with IBD present unique risk factors, regardless of age, often accompanied by malnutrition and related comorbidities. Addressing fertility, sexual function, and continence preservation is paramount, particularly given the young age at diagnosis.
Despite declining surgery rates in recent decades, the global demand for IBD surgery is rising, reflecting the increasing prevalence of diagnoses. Traditional open surgery, long considered the gold standard, offers tactile benefits in distinguishing healthy and affected tissues. Nevertheless, the expanding adoption of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in IBD cases has shown promise in reducing adhesion formation, pain, and length of hospitalization. In the context of MIS, robotic surgery is gaining prominence for its potential to improve surgical outcomes. Two main concepts of robotic surgery exist. The first is based on a monolithic system including all the robotic arms and tools, the second is centered on flexibility and scalability, with independent robotic wheeled units that can be deployed independently and possibly moved freely into the operative room. More recent surgical platforms have adopted this second concept. These novel robotic platforms have the potential to provide surgeons with more flexibility and dexterity in complex and challenging cases, such as those of a typical IBD patient. However, further studies are needed to assess their full potential and to identify the best settings for their use.The nursing profession over the years has undergone a series of changes that have resulted in a modernization of the nursing figure in Italy and in the world. The modern nurse is a professional with university education, professional autonomy and professional responsibility. The foundation of modern nursing is the ‘code of ethics’, which represents the document that dictates the rules of conduct and ethics of the nurse in his/her professional activity. Today the nurse is the health professional who, with his own field of activity, assists, treats and takes care of the patient in a global way. He/She is a graduate professional who, enrolled in the professional order, carries out prevention functions, assistance, therapeutic education, management, training and research. The modern role of the active team nurse is to be considered a change achieved gradually and deservedly. Finally, the legislative and professional evolution has led to the transformation of the colleges into orders and the equalization of responsibilities for all health roles

Genga e il cantiere decorativo dell’Imperiale: protagonisti e comparse
No full textViene esaminata la decorazione della Villa Imperiale di Pesaro, voluta dal duca Francesco Maria della Rovere. Alla luce dei pochi documenti e delle scarse testimonianze delle fonti, vengono ripercorsi gli interventi dei numerosi pittori coinvolti sotto la guida di Girolamo Genga. Accanto a Francesco Menzocchi e a Raffaeillino del Colle, l'Autore propone per la prima volta di riconoscere il giovane Nicolò dell'Abate, all'opera nella sala con il Giuramento di Sermide. Altre precisazioni riguardano i paesaggi eseguiti da Camillo Mantovano.The decoration of the Imperial Villa of Pesaro is examined, requested by Duke Francesco Maria della Rovere. In light of the few documents and the scarce evidence of the sources, the interventions of the numerous painters involved under the guidance of Girolamo Genga are traced. Next to Francesco Menzocchi and Raffaeillino del Colle, the author proposes for the first time to recognize the young Nicolò dell'Abate, at work in the room with the Oath of Sermide. Other clarifications concern the landscapes painted by Camillo Mantovano

Due ipotesti per un testo. La settima novella di Francesco Maria Molza
No full textThis article aims to analyse Francesco Maria Molza’s not certainly attributed novella VII. Even though the text was inspired by one of Franco Sacchetti’s short stories, in the final section the author inserted a quotation-translation of Poggio Bracciolini’s facezia 143. The quotations, translations and reworkings of Bracciolini’s text demonstrate the Renaissance writer’s narrative and stylistic abilities
Due ipotesti per un testo. La settima novella di Francesco Maria Molza
No full textIn questo intervento viene proposta l’analisi della novella VII di Francesco Maria Molza, di dubbia attribuzione. Essa trae spunto da una novella di Franco Sacchetti ma, nella sezione conclusiva, l’autore ha inserito una citazione-traduzione della facezia 143 di Poggio Bracciolini. I modi della citazione, traduzione e rielaborazione del testo poggiano mostrano le capacità narrative e stilistiche dello scrittore rinascimentale.This article aims to analyse Francesco Maria Molza’s not certainly attributed novella VII.
