    During the Carolingian period some important documentary archives of central-northern Italy were characterized by the presence of a meaningful number of documents that were related to the execution of the last dispositions of dead people. It is a documentary novelty that can be traced especially in some geographical areas within determined spans of time that can be circumscribed to the central decades of the 9th century. Into these contexts there are numerous cases in which wills where executed by a small or large number of executors; moreover, those who executed the wills sometimes fulfilled their duties many years after the death of people and the compiling of the same wills. This article underlines the novelties that are related this juridical instrument and analyses, within the different documentary contexts of central-northern Italy, the links between the executors - dispensatores – and the dead persons, as well as the reasons that can be traced in relation to the episodes of collaboration and also of competition in executing the last wills of the dead persons both within the group of the dispensatores, and between those and the family members of the testator. More in particular, through the close description of some case-studies chosen because of their particular meaningfulness and as samples of different geographical areas and different social contexts, this article intends to show how the introduction of the key-figure of the dispensator modified the rules of competition and encouraged collaborations within the processes of will-executions

    La caduta del regno longobardo non ha lasciato molte tracce, a causa della forte operazione di manipolazione delle fonti operata dal papato e dai Carolingi. L'articolo, analizzando fonti di diverso tipo, tenta di superare questa barriera documentaria e di riportare alla luce, al di là della propaganda dei vincitori, i modi con i quali le comunità del regno vissero gli eventi del 774

    Abstract BACKGROUND: In endometrial cancer (EMCA), indocyanine green (ICG) sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has been reported, mainly in conjunction with robotic surgery. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate detection rates, sensitivity, and false negative (FN) rate of laparoscopic ICG SLN mapping in EMCA, and to evaluate differences in surgical outcomes between patients subjected to SLN biopsy only versus lymphadenectomy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of EMCA patients undergoing ICG SLN mapping ± pelvic (PLND) and/or para-aortic lymphadenectomy (PALND) was performed. Detection rates were calculated for the entire cohort. Sensitivity and FN rates were calculated for patients undergoing lymphadenectomy after SLN mapping, and surgical outcome was compared among patients undergoing SLN mapping only versus lymphadenectomy. RESULTS: Of 75 patients, 33 underwent SLN mapping and 42 underwent SLN mapping followed by PLND/PALND. Overall and bilateral detection rates were 96 % (72/75) and 88 % (66/75), respectively, and the median number of removed SLNs, pelvic non-SLNs (NSLN) and para-aortic NSLNs was 3, 27, and 19, respectively. With a FN rate of 8.3 %, only one patient had bilateral FN SLNs and a metastatic para-aortal NSLN. Estimated blood loss (EBL) and operative (OR) time were significantly lower in patients undergoing SLN mapping only. No differences in complication rates between patients undergoing SLN mapping only and patients undergoing lymphadenectomy were recorded. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic ICG SLN mapping has excellent overall and bilateral detection rates and a low FN rate. Compared with lymphadenectomy, SLN biopsy is associated with significantly lower EBL and shorter OR time
