No full textWhat does being canonic mean for a dramatic text? Why is a text such as "Six characters in Search of an Author, a text that broke radically with the traditional structure of drama, expressing the crisis within fundamental categories of Westernthought, considered canonic? The author analyses the problem in two joint-text essays that accompany Pirandello's work, from the perspectives of ideas and that of the history of the dramatic form and performance: "inside the text" and "staging".The book is the first of a series of volumes designed to put together the pieces of an open mosaic, which has contributed significantly to the building and expression of the European consciousness
Modelli urbani e conflitti sociali. l'architettura dell'ICP di Bari dalla fondazione dell'istituto al secondo conflitto mondiale
No full textHereditary Juvenile Haemochromatosis and Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
No full textHereditary hemochromatosis (HH), a common autosomal recessive disease, is characterized by excessive iron overload/toxicity in multiple organs (joints, liver, heart, pancreas, pituitary, adrenals and skin). Symptoms and signs depend upon the location of the excess iron deposition. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a typical complication of HH. Juvenile haemochromatosis is a rare disorder of iron metabolism with clinical manifestations before 30 years of age. Two common mutations of the haemochromatosis associated gene (HFE), cys282tyr (C282Y) and his63asp (H63D), have been implicated in the HH. These genes also appear to be modulators in cardiovascular disease. In fact the HFE gene defects are related to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) in some patients, even though the results of genotype analyses were conflicting. In this case report we investigate a 21 year-old male patient affected by juvenile haemochromatosis associated with heterozygosity for the H63D mutation with an idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
Un esempio di riqualificazione urbana partecipata: il laboratorio del quartiere San Paolo di Bari. Contributi, idee, proposte: lettura di casi
No full textL'articolo sintetizza l'esito dell'attività di un laboratorio di progettazione partecipata nel quartiere San Paolo di Bari durato circa due anni. In particolare propone riflessioni di carattere teorico scaturite da una ricerca-azione a) sulle stesse pratiche partecipative in campo urbano e nelle sue aree periferiche,b) sullo stigma negativo che caratterizza quartieri periferici ad alta presenza di edilizia residenziale pubblica, cioè su quelle immagini resistenti che ne nascondono gli aspetti dinamici e il reale ciclo di vita; c)sulla domanda complessa di città e di cittadinanza che in questi ambiti, grazie a processi 'lunghi' di partecipazione è possibile far emergere
Accuracy of Intravascular Ultrasound Evaluation for the Assessment of Native Valve Measures in Patients Undergoing TAVI: Preliminary Results
No full textTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) technique represents a real revolution in the field of interventional cardiology and medicine, in particular for the treatment of severe aortic valve stenosis in elderly patients or in patients when the periprocedural risk for the traditional surgical option is considered too high, as an alternative to the traditional aortic valve replacement. Although experience on the valves of the last generation is still limited in terms of time, the data currently available are definitely moving in the direction of a minimum hospital mortality (1%) as well as a drastic reduction in the incidence of complications when compared to the devices of the previous generation. Finally, the evolution of specified materials of the newest generation have greatly enhanced safety and efficacy of TAVI procedures in the last years. In order to ensure the selection of the most appropriate valve and the success of the procedure, the role of cardiac imaging (computed tomography scan evaluation and angiography) is crucial. These examinations require the use of contrast medium in patients suffering from renal dysfunction at the baseline. The need for fluoroscopy and angiography using contrast agents to aid positioning of the valve may lead to contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) as one form or one etiology of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study is to investigate the accuracy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS-a technique which does not need contrast) for the assessment of native valve measures in patients undergoing TAVI by comparing values obtained with IVUS to those ones previously obtained in the same patients with computed tomography (CT) scans

An Unusual Case of Acute Myopericarditis Possibly Due to Food Poisoning
No full textThe manuscript describes the case of a 23 year-old woman, with acute myopericarditis associated
with food poisoning without other cardiovascular disease. The patient had a history of
hypothyroidism, treated with levothyroxine 75 μg/d, however she was clinically and biochemically
euthyroid. We present a discussion of this rare association, followed by clinical presentation and
treatment. This case report underlines the importance of considering possible cardiac complications
when treating patients with food poisoning
Perspectives sur Focillon. Critique de: Annamaria Ducci, Henri Focillon en son temps. La liberté des formes, Presses universitaires de Strasbourg, collection “Historiographie de”, Strasbourg 2021
No full textInternational audienceThe author reviews the first monograph devoted to Henri Focillon (1881-1943), written by Annamaria Ducci. This intellectual biography, based on numerous archives and works, places the art historian in a wider historiographical context and gives an in-depth reading of several of his texts
Genetic evolution of canine coronavirus and recent advances in prophylaxis
No full textSince the first identification of the virus in 1971, the disease caused by canine
coronavirus (CCoV) has not been adequately investigated and the role that the virus plays in canine
enteric illness has still not been well established. In the last decade, as a consequence of the
relatively high mutation frequency of RNA positive stranded viruses, CCoV has evolved and a new
genotype has been identified in the faeces of infected dogs. The several studies carried out by
different researchers have focused upon the epidemiological relevance of these viruses and,
considering the wide diffusion of CCoV infections among dog populations, the author underlines
the need for further investigation on the biology of CCoV and on the pathogenetic role of their
infections
Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds: design, clinical trials, and current applications.
No full textIn recent years, bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) have been introduced into clinical practice. The main advantage of BVS is that they overcome the problem of the foreign body in the treated artery. BVS, once placed into narrowed coronary vessels, behave like a conventional drug-eluting stent, but a device that disappears over time can preserve the anatomy and physiology of the treated vessel. The progression of stenosis after stenting has been attributed, at least in part, to inflammation around metallic struts, that, however, disappears gradually when using BVS. BVS have proven to be effective and safe as drug-eluting stents; in fact, the rate of adverse cardiovascular events and scaffold thrombosis in patients is low. The aim of this review article is to provide a comprehensive and updated description of the status of the art on BVS, highlighting the current evidence and future perspectives of this technology
