Entrepreneurship in Biophilic Tourism: The Case of “Botel diffuso dei laghi”
Full text linkAs indicated in the work: "There is an expanding market consisting of people who are choosing to get closer to nature in order to rediscover a link with their true selves. Botel is a vehicle that provides a means to discuss this, considering ideas, trends, goals, possibilities and risks" (p.73)
The epidemiology and socioeconomic impact of chronic pancreatitis
No full textEpidemiological studies have been published worldwide in recent decades describing the incidence, mortality, aetiology and trends of chronic pancreatitis. Accumulated evidence suggests that chronic pancreatitis is increasing in incidence and hospital admission rates are rising accordingly. Alcoholic chronic pancreatitis was previously more common in the developed world than elsewhere, but is now increasing worldwide due to growing per capita alcohol consumption in each nation. Supporting alcohol and smoking cessation in individual patients is essential to slow disease progression and improve overall health, as most patients will die of cirrhosis, cardiovascular disease or smoking related cancers rather than chronic pancreatitis. The socioeconomic impact of chronic pancreatitis is difficult to quantify as little data exists, however given the rising incidence the costs to health care and society are likely to increase. This chapter will describe the epidemiology and aetiology of chronic pancreatitis worldwide and discusses the factors that influence its socioeconomic impact
The role of primary cilia in the development and disease of the retina
No full textThe normal development and function of photoreceptors is essential for eye health and visual acuity in vertebrates. Mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in photoreceptor development and function are associated with a suite of inherited retinal dystrophies, often as part of complex multi-organ syndromic conditions. In this review, we focus on the role of the photoreceptor outer segment, a highly modified and specialized primary cilium, in retinal health and disease. We discuss the many defects in the structure and function of the photoreceptor primary cilium that can cause a class of inherited conditions known as ciliopathies, often characterized by retinal dystrophy and degeneration, and highlight the recent insights into disease mechanisms
