Phenotiki: an open software and hardware platform for affordable and easy image-based phenotyping of rosette-shaped plants
No full textPhenotyping is important to understand plant biology, but current solutions are costly, not versatile or are difficult to deploy. To solve this problem, we present Phenotiki, an affordable system for plant phenotyping that, relying on off-the-shelf parts, provides an easy to install and maintain platform, offering an out-of-box experience for a well-established phenotyping need: imaging rosette-shaped plants. The accompanying software (with available source code) processes data originating from our device seamlessly and automatically. Our software relies on machine learning to devise robust algorithms, and includes an automated leaf count obtained from 2D images without the need of depth (3D). Our affordable device (~€200) can be deployed in growth chambers or greenhouse to acquire optical 2D images of approximately up to 60 adult Arabidopsis rosettes concurrently. Data from the device are processed remotely on a workstation or via a cloud application (based on CyVerse). In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept validation experiment on top-view images of 24 Arabidopsis plants in a combination of genotypes that has not been compared previously. Phenotypic analysis with respect to morphology, growth, color and leaf count has not been performed comprehensively before now. We confirm the findings of others on some of the extracted traits, showing that we can phenotype at reduced cost. We also perform extensive validations with external measurements and with higher fidelity equipment, and find no loss in statistical accuracy when we use the affordable setting that we propose. Device set-up instructions and analysis software are publicly available (http://phenotiki.com)
Il diritto penale nel canone di Mario Romano
No full textThis paper deals with the extension and the extraordinary scientific value of the works written by a great Master in Criminal Law, such as Mario Romano. The Author briefly presents some of the most relevant contributions given by Professor Mario Romano to the Criminal Science, first of all his "Commentario sistematico del codice penale" (Systematic Commentary on the penal code), a unique work. Finally, the paper talks about some topics which have been developed inside the work "Studi in onore di Mario Romano" (Studies in Honour of Mario Romano)
Clinical and dermoscopic characterization of pediatric Spitz nevi of the ear
No full textSpitz nevi of special sites, such as the ear, appear rarely and pose a challenge with worrisome clinical, dermoscopic, or histopathological features. Our aim was to evaluate the morphological findings of a series of Spitz nevi of the ear in order to obtain more knowledge about their clinical-dermoscopic patterns. Of a total of six cases, three main dermoscopic structures were found: pseudonetwork, structureless areas, and cobblestone pattern. Our preliminary findings suggest that dermoscopy may be helpful in improving the diagnostic accuracy of Spitz nevus of the ear and minimize surgery in a sensitive location
Thoracic complications from retained abdominal gallstones after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: is it always mandatory a thoracic approach?
No full textBACKGROUND: Thoracic complications from retained abdominal
gallstones are quite rare and the incidence rate ranges between
0.08\% and 0.3\%. Diagnosis and treatment of these complications
are challenging due to the uncommon presentations and the
debated role of the thoracic approach. This review of all cases
reported in literature aims to discuss the best practice of this
rare condition. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was
performed for articles from January 1993 to May 2019 using
PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, ScienceDirect. The following mesh-words
were used: 'cholelithopthysis', 'thoracic', 'gallstones'
'retained', and 'spilled'. All cases of thoracic complications
from retained gallstones after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were
extrapolated. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were included in
this study. The most common symptoms were fever, hemoptysis and
lithoptysis. Symptoms after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were
presented after a mean time of 9.814.2 months (range from
one week to 60 months). Delayed diagnosis was found in fourteen
patients (58.4.\%). Only four subjects were treated successfully
with antibiotic therapy alone (16.7\%), whereas 20 patients
needed surgery or interventional radiology (83.3\%). Seven
patients (29.2\%) were successfully managed with an abdominal
approach. Three patients were managed using thoracentesis,
thoracoscopic-thoracotomic drainage (12.5\%). Right lung
decortication and pulmonary wedge resections were necessary for
ten patients (41.6\%). CONCLUSION: Clinicians always must
inquire about the previous cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis
related diseases in all patients suffering from recurrent
right-sided pleural/lung affections, to improve diagnostic
delay. The escalated approach must be performed: empirical
antimicrobial therapy followed by targeted therapy as soon as
microbiological data are available; afterwards, abdominal
surgery is effective in approximately 30\% of patients while the
remaining patients have to be submitted to a thoracic approach

L'uno e il molteplice: su Catull. 5
No full textIn Catull. 5, the author cleverly works out two ancient topoi (‘let’s love, because the night/death is coming’; ‘kisses are the joy of lovers’), gaining a well balanced structure of the poem. In comparison with contemporary Graeco-Roman poetry (erotic epigrams – such as Philod. AP 9, 570 –, the Epitaph of Bion), both themes are handled with a remarkable taste for originality, especially in their ‘numerical’ aspects, in order to put special emphasis on the basic contrast between nox una and basia mille
Complicated Diaphragmatic Hernia in Emergency Surgery: Systematic Review of the Literature
No full textIntroduction Complicated diaphragmatic hernia (DH) can be congenital or acquired. Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) are rare and often can be asymptomatic until adulthood. Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is a complication that occurs in about 1-5% of victims of road accidents and in 10-15% of penetrating traumas of the lower chest. CDH and TDH are potentially life-threatening conditions, and the management in emergency setting still debated. This study aims to evaluate the surgical treatment options in emergency setting. Methods A bibliographic research reporting the item "emergency surgery" linked with "traumatic diaphragmatic rupture" and "congenital diaphragmatic hernia" was performed. Several parameters were recorded including sex, age, etiology, diagnosis, treatment, site and herniated organs. Results The research included 146 articles, and 1542 patients were analyzed. Most of the complicated diaphragmatic hernias occurred for a diaphragmatic defect due to trauma, only 7.2% occurred for a congenital diaphragmatic defect. The main diagnostic method used was chest X-ray and CT scan. Laparotomic approach still remains predominant compared to the minimally invasive approach. Conclusion Surgery is the treatment of choice and is strongly influenced by the preoperative setting, performed mainly with X-ray and CT scan. Minimally invasive approach is safe and feasible but is highly dependent on the surgeon's expertise, especially in emergency setting
