    Life expectancy in the districts of Taranto

    No full text
    The "Taranto case" has aroused the scientific interest of demographers, statisticians, epidemiologists and doctors, to understand what is happening today to the health of citizens, finding excesses of mortality and morbidity in certain pathologies strictly connected to pollution, in particular in the Ionian capital and in some neighboring municipalities. We have developed abbreviated mortality tables, using a methodology essentially different from that of Istat due to the fact that we do not rework the probabilities of death at all, which remain real. This solution is valid as Taranto is a large municipality, with almost 200,000 inhabitants

    Isolating the Role of Bone Lacunar Morphology on Static and Fatigue Fracture Progression through Numerical Simulations

    Currently, the onset of bone damage and the interaction of cracks with the surrounding micro-architecture are still black boxes. With the motivation to address this issue, our research targets isolating lacunar morphological and densitometric effects on crack advancement under both static and cyclic loading conditions by implementing static extended finite element models (XFEM) and fatigue analyses. The effect of lacunar pathological alterations on damage initiation and progression is evaluated; the results indicate that high lacunar density considerably reduces the mechanical strength of the specimens, resulting as the most influencing parameter among the studied ones. Lacunar size has a lower effect on mechanical strength, reducing it by 2%. Additionally, specific lacunar alignments play a key role in deviating the crack path, eventually slowing its progression. This could shed some light on evaluating the effects of lacunar alterations on fracture evolution in the presence of pathologies

    Didattica e ricerca. L’esperienza del Laboratorio aragonese e sforzesco

    In the workshop on Diplomatic correspondences in the Italian Renaissance, directed in January-May 2018 by Francesco Storti and Francesco Senatore in the Istituto italiano per gli studi filosofici of Naples, 12 undergraduate and graduate students learned to read and trascribe italian diplomatic dispatches of the 15th cent., producing a specimen of scientific edition. In the opinion of the author, such activities and similar ones are very useful for future school teachers and scholars and they could be introduced in the university and pHD courses of history. Students of humanistic sciences should have concrete contacts with the historical research on primary sources. On the other hand, editing of historical sources could become a marginal activity because it is not enough appreciated in the current research evaluation processes.

    LA MADONNA ESTERHÁZY DI RAFFAELLO A PALAZZO MARINO, di Francesco Murano, Fotografie di Sergio Oriani Il curatore della mostra, Stefano Zuffi, ha voluto inquadrare criticamente l’opera di Raffaello proveniente dal Museo di Budapest, ponendola tra la Vergine delle Rocce di Francesco Melzi, proveniente dall’Istituto delle Suore Orsoline di Milano e la Madonna della Rosa di Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, proveniente dal Museo Poldi Pezzoli della stessa città. L’architetto Corrado Anselmi ha progettato un affascinante allestimento, concependolo come un percorso che si sviluppa attraverso tre soste utili all’ammirazione delle opere. L’autore Francesco Murano, spiega con ricchezza di particolari i vincoli del progetto illuminotecnico e le scelte luministiche.Once again, for the Christmas season, the Municipally of Milan decided to display an important work in the frame of the Palazzo Marino’s Alessi Hall. For this year 2014, the choice has been to propose the Estheràzy Madonna by Raphael, from the Museum of Budapest. The exhibition curator, Stefano Zuffi, wanted to critically frame to work of Raphael by placing it between the Vegine delle Rocce (Virgin of the Rocks) by Francesco Melzi, coming from the Milan’s Istituto delle Suore Orsoline, and the Madonna della Rosa by Giovanni Boltraffio, from the Milanese Museo Poldi Pezzoli. The Architect Corrado Anselmi designed a fascinating display, convinced as a path that develops through three stops that are useful for the enjoyment of the works. The author Francesco Murano, explains with many details the lighting design project

    RIGHT SIDED DIVERTICULITIS IN EMERGENCY AND ELECTIVE SETTINGS: A SINGLE CENTRE EXPERIENCE

    Introduzione Right sided colonic diverticulitis is a rare condition in Western countries while is common in Asian ones. In most cases, right colonic diverticulitis mimicks an acute appendicitis and it is often diagnosed when explorative laparoscopy excludes the presence of appendicits. We report our experience in the treatment of right-side diverticulitis. Pazienti e metodi From September 2011 to May 2015 170 patients underwent surgical intervention for diverticular disease in our unit, both in emergency or elective setting. Pre- intra- and postoperative data of patients were prospectively registered. Uni and multivariate analysis was performed both for factors associated with postoperative morbidity and conversion to laparotomy. Statistical analysys was performed with SPSS v. 13.0. Significance was considered for p value < 0.05. Risultati 17 patients (10%) was affected by right colonic diverticulitis and only 3 of them (17.6%) came from Asian countries. Male/female ratio was 1:1 with mean age of 5115 years, statistically lower respect to our cohort of patients with left side diverticulitis (6714 years; P<0.001). In 16 cases (94,1%) a surgical exploration was performed due to clinical and laboratoristic diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Only one patient underwent elective surgery for recurrent episodes of acute diverticulitis that required two hospital admissions. In 9 cases (52.9%) the disease was localized in the ascending colon while in the other 8 patients there was a caecal diverticulitis. 12 patients (70.6%) had Hinchey 1-2, in one case there were a generalized purulent peritonitis and in one case we found hemoperitoneum from diverticular bleeding. 13 patients (76.5%) underwent colonic resection with anastomosis while in the other 4 cases a diverticulectomy was performed with no postoperative events. Surgical interventions were performed with mini-invasive approach in 13 patients (76.5%) with a conversion rate of 29.4% (5 patients). Mean postoperative stay was 9 11 days. Overall postoperative morbidity rate was 12.6% (3 patients) according Calvien Dindo Classification. There was no postoperative in-hospital mortality. We also performed multivariate analysis to identify factors predicting overall, surgical ad medical complications but we did not find any significant factor. Also the logistic regression to identify factor predicting conversion from laparoscopic to open approach failed to find an independent variable. Conclusioni In our experience, right side colonic diverticulitis is a rare but not irrelevant condition also in Caucasian young individuals. Clinical and laboratoristic features of right diverticulitis can mimick other pathological contidion as acute appendicitis and often is misdiagnosed. Patients with acute right colonic diverticulitis can be treated safely with colonic resection and anastomosis. In selected cases isolated diverticulectomy can be an adequate approach
