Nietzsche e i Greci. Tra mito e disincanto
No full textI sei saggi che compongono il presente volume sono dedicati al complesso rapporto che lega Friedrich Nietzsche alla grecità, lungo tutto l’arco della sua ricerca filologica e filosofica, e ne intendono chiarire alcuni fondamentali snodi tematici: il problema della catarsi e dell’estasi, il dionisiaco come simbolo dell’unitarietà del reale, il concetto di “spirito libero” e la sua genealogia, la nascita e l’evoluzione della teoria del “carattere misto” di Platone. Il rapporto sinergico tra filosofia e filologia risulta filo rosso degli interventi e unanime criterio metodologico. Ludovica Boi (1992) è assegnista di ricerca presso l’Università di Verona, dove svolge un progetto su salute e malattia in Nietzsche. Dopo essersi formata alla Sapienza di Roma, aver ottenuto una borsa di studio DAAD e diverse borse di formazione IISF, nel 2020 è stata borsista di ricerca IISF, con un progetto sul misticismo filosofico in Giorgio Colli.

Cosa testimonia la "mistica"?
No full textIl mio obbiettivo in questo testo non è di addentrarmi nei dettagli delle analisi e delle letture condotte da Ludovica Boi nell'"Aurora apparente", quanto piuttosto di indicare qualche coordinata complessiva della sua trattazione. Da questo punto di vista vorrei far notare quanto l’insistenza sulla testimonianza mistica possa costituire al giorno d’oggi un’occasione per la filosofia, uno sprone a rammemorare la sua disposizione fondamentale di sguardo unitario rivolto al tutto a partire dall’appartenenza al tutto. Nel testo viene tratteggiato sommariamente il senso della testimonianza mistica attraverso riferimenti a Giorgio Colli e Giorgio Agamben
Thyroid Autoimmunity and Thyroid Cancer: Review Focused on Cytological Studies
No full textThe association between Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has been originally suggested
by retrospective pathological studies and has recently
been re-evaluated and proposed on the basis of several
fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) studies. In FNAC
studies, the association between HT and PTC is based on the
comparison of anti-thyroid autoantibodies (ATA) (anti-thyroperoxidase
[TPOAb] and anti-thyroglobulin [TgAb]), thyroid
function (TSH), and cytology with histology of thyroid
nodules and lymphocytic thyroid infiltration (LTI) of operated
thyroid glands. Most of the pathological studies found a
high prevalence rate of PTC in HT. In most FNAC studies, the
risk ratio of PTC in HT patients was evaluated using multivariate
statistical analysis: increased TSH levels represented
the main and common independent risk factor of malignancy,
although it resulted not consistently related to HT. On the
other hand, several studies provided a positive relationship
between ATA and PTC, particularly with TgAb. Two recent FNAC studies from the same referral center clearly demonstrated
an independent risk for thyroid malignancy conferred
by both TPOAb and TgAb, confirming the role of
increased TSH levels, and found a significant association
between PTC and ATA and diffuse LTI at histology. These
studies are consistent with the hypothesis that autoimmune
thyroid inflammation and increased serum TSH concentration
may be involved in thyroid tumor growth. The complex
relationship between HT and PTC, which involves immunological/
hormonal pathogenic links, needs to be further investigated
with prospective studies
Usefulness of thyroglobulin and calcitonin measurement in wash-out fluid from fine needle aspiration for early diagnosis of lymphnode metastases and local recurrences of thyroid tumors
No full textUndermining the Current Concept of Health. Untimely Meditations between Physiology and Aesthetics
No full textThe article deals with the problem of health in Nietzsche’s philosophy. While secondary literature on this topic has been usually confined to his works posterior to 1878, this text especially focusses on an earlier work, i.e., the Untimely Meditations. It is shown how that work is relevant to the topic, for there the author denounces for the first time the inadequacy of general formulas of health. Upon this criticism, he will eventually build his own conception of health and illness. This analysis starts with what Nietzsche called a cultural and historical illness in the early 1870s: an illness that, paradoxically, generated an inadequate notion of ‘health’. Secondly, this investigation deals with the Nietzschean reaction to that generalised illness, dwelling on the concept of health as an individual process, in the form of a connection between the aesthetic and the physiological fields. Finally, this article elucidates the problems within the concept of the innumerable healths of the body, hinting at some contemporary challenges
Utilità del dosaggio della tireoglobulina e della calcitonina nel liquido di lavaggio degli agoaspirati per la diagnosi precoce delle metastasi linfonodali cervicali e delle recidive postoperatorie dei tumori della tiroide
No full textNeck is an early location of lymphnode metastases and/or local recurrences from differentiated (DTC) and medullary (MTC) thyroid carcinonas. Diagnosis is mainly based on neck ultrasound and on cytological examination of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) from the suspect lesion, although this procedure accounts for 5-10% false negative results. Since thyroglobulin (Tg) is a sensitive and specific marker of DTC after total thyroidectomy, Tg assay in FNAB needle washout fluid (Tg-FNAB) has been proposed since early ‘90s to obtain diagnostic sensitivities and specificities near to 100%. Moreover, studies carried out by our group have shown that Tg-FNAB displays the same diagnostic values in patients with circulating anti-Tg antibodies (TgAb), who were previously excluded for the potential interference exerted by TgAb on Tg assay. Serum calcitonin (CT) is an exquisitely sensitive and specific marker of MTC even before thyroidectomy, but no data were until now available on the diagnostic usefulness of CT assay in the needle washout fluid of FNAB (CT-FNAB) in patients with MTC and suspect cervical masses. We have recently shown that, similarly to Tg-FNAB, CT-FNAB represents a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic procedure for the identification of lymphnode metastases and local recurrences in MTC.
Taken together, assay of Tg and CT in FNAB fluid washout represents a simple and valuable diagnostic tool to be associated to ultrasound and cytology in the early diagnosis of lymph-node metastases and/or local recurrences in patients with thyroid tumors
