RECONSIDERING GENDER - BASED VIOLENCE AND OTHER FORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN COMPARATIVE RESEARCH/ANALYSIS IN THE LIGHT OF THE ISTANBUL CONVENTION
No full textViolence against women has become a sensitive topic only in the last few years. The national policies awareness-raising and the implementation of provisions in this direction have been lacking for long and the existing norms were featured by uncertainty and diversity.
The enactment of the Istanbul Convention, with its innovations and its capability to tackle the issue in the light of ongoing globalization, is one of the most successful tools in this regard.
This book presents with a variety of perspectives a comparative analysis among the different legal and cultural realities, highlighting the normative distances and the peculiarity of such a wide phenomenon anticipating also some of the issues still to be implemented by the legislatives themselves
Science signaling podcast: 30 april 2013
No full textThis Podcast features an interview with Elena M. Borroni and Raffaella Bonecchi, authors of a Research Article that appears in the 30 April 2013 issue of Science Signaling. Chemokines recruit leukocytes to sites of infection and inflammation by binding to chemokine receptors, which are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, present on the surface of leukocytes. Whereas activation of typical chemokine receptors leads to G protein-dependent signaling that promotes cell migration toward the chemokine source, activation of atypical chemokine receptors does not promote cell migration. Instead, signaling initiated by atypical chemokine receptors contributes to the immune response in other ways. The atypical chemokine receptor D6 is a scavenger that alters the chemokine gradient by binding to and degrading chemokines. Borroni and Bonecchi found that activation of a β-arrestin-dependent signaling pathway was necessary for D6 to act as a chemokine scavenger. © 2013 American Association for the Advancement of Science

[Erythema pernio of the face: clinical and histopathological aspects].
No full textA case of chilblains on the face of a man is described. An acute episode of chilblains occurred after a long period of exposure to cold. The unusual site and unusual clinical aspect raised problems of differential clinical diagnosis. Moreover histological diagnosis is easy to perform only after a correct clinical diagnosis has been carried out. For these reasons the literature on chilblains needs to be updated, even though, thanks to impaired living and working conditions, this disease is becoming uncommon
[Early and late histologic aspects of atrophodermia vermiculata. A case study].
No full textAtrophoderma Vermiculatum (AV) is a rare disease characterized by the occurrence on the face and the cheeks in particular, of fine, atrophic pits, with a bilateral distribution, producing a honeycomb, reticulate appearance. All the cases reported in the literature focus on the atrophic changes of the disease while no attention has been paid to the condition which causes atrophy. The early stages are not usually reported. MC is a girl aged 13. She had multiple, fine, pale-brown papules (1-2 mm in diameter) on her right cheek. The histopathological findings of these lesions predominantly showed lymphocytic perifolliculitis with perifollicular fibrosis. The epidermis was normal. No specific diagnosis other than perifolliculitis was possible. Eight months later the patient showed tiny, atrophic depressions and follicular plugs with reticulate teleangectases in the same area of the right cheek (with disappearance of the tiny papules). A clinical diagnosis of AV was done. The histological findings of a further biopsy showed atrophy of the epidermis, less severe perifollicular inflammation and decrease in number of the follicles. The hair follicles were widely dilated and were either empty or contained keratinous materials. Dermal atrophy and disappearance of elastic fibers was noticeable. In conclusion the late clinical features of the lesions, through unusual (asymmetry of the lesion, small and superficial atrophic scars), make the diagnosis of the early clinical and histological features of papules and perifolliculitis possible and suggest a specific name: early stages of AV
