    Congedandosi dalla paura: Alberto Castoldi sulla crisi dei valori nella modernità

    No full text
    Quando nel 2010 Alberto Castoldi scrive "Congedi", egli aveva raggiunto la serenità e l’esperienza per posare il pensiero sulla perdita traumatica dell’orizzonte di senso che segue all’affermazione della nuova civiltà borghese. “Congedo” è una parola che raccoglie in sé una ambiguità: ci si può congedare, allontanandosi, oppure si può congedare qualcuno, come il padrone che dà congedo al servitore. Forse è per questo che l’autore di Congedi, il cui interesse è catturato da La crisi dei valori nella modernità in cui consiste il sottotitolo dello scritto, sceglie di usare la parola al plurale. Castoldi si fa flâneur viaggiatore errante nel tempo, fra la modernità e la contemporaneità, alla ricerca di tracce che diano testimonianza della “perdita di senso”, che della paura è origine. Un viaggio in cui la vista si poggia con insistente curiosità sull’Europa e sul nichilismo che la tormenta

    Functional nutrients in infants born by vaginal delivery or Cesarean section

    The development of a proper neonatal microbiota is of great importance, especially for the effects that dysbiosis has in acute and chronic diseases’ onset. The microbiota, particularly the intestinal one, plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the host, preventing colonization by pathogenic bacteria and significantly influencing the development and maturation of a normal gastrointestinal mucosal immunity. Several factors may interfere with the physiological development of microbiota, such as diseases during pregnancy, type of delivery, maternal nutrition, type of neonatal feeding, use of antibiotics, exposition to hospital environment (e.g., neonatal intensive care unit) and genetic factors. Thanks to a proper maternal and neonatal supplementation with specific functional nutrients, it is now possible to correct dysbiosis, thus reducing the risks for the newborn’s health. In this review of the literature, we give an overview of the studies highlighting the composition of the maternal, fetal and neonatal microbiota, the factors potentially responsible for dysbiosis and the use of functional nutrients to prevent diseases’ onset

    Mothers and Fathers in NICU: The Impact of Preterm Birth on Parental Distress

    Preterm birth is a stressful event for families. In particular, the unexpectedly early delivery may cause negative feelings in mothers and fathers. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between preterm birth, parental stress and negative feelings, and the environmental setting of NICU. 21 mothers (age = 36.00 ± 6.85) and 19 fathers (age = 34.92 ± 4.58) of preterm infants (GA = 30.96 ± 2.97) and 20 mothers (age = 40.08 ± 4.76) and 20 fathers (age = 40.32 ± 6.77) of full-term infants (GA = 39.19 ± 1.42) were involved. All parents filled out the Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the Impact of Event Scale Revised, Profile of Mood States, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and the Post-Partum Bonding Questionnaire. Our data showed differences in emotional reactions between preterm and full-term parents. Results also revealed significant differences between mothers and fathers’ responses to preterm birth in terms of stress, negative feelings, and perceptions of social support. A correlation between negative conditions at birth (e.g., birth weight and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit stay) and higher scores in some scales of Impact of Event Scale Revised, Profile of Mood States and Post-Partum Bonding Questionnaire were found. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit may be a stressful place both for mothers and fathers. It might be useful to plan, as soon as possible, interventions to help parents through the experience of the premature birth of their child and to begin an immediately adaptive mode of care
