Narrare la città: alla ricerca dell’identità novarese
No full textIl saggio che apre il volume "Narrare la città. Tratti identitari, linguistici e memoria della tradizione a Novara" offre uno sguardo sul tema dell’identità locale. Al di là del senso comune, la ricerca è un contributo scientifico volto a definire e a sostanziare il concetto di “novaresità”. Il quadro dei tratti identitari della gente di Novara è il risultato di una complessa indagine condotta dal Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università del Piemonte Orientale “Amedeo Avogadro” e dall'Università di Scienze Gastronomiche e promossa dalla Fondazione Banca Popolare di Novara per il Territorio e dalla Fondazione Comunità del Novarese.
L’indagine si è avvalsa di avanzate metodologie scientifiche qualitative e quantitative per investigare i tratti identitari, linguistici e la memoria della tradizione della città.
L’analisi dei dati raccolti offre un interessante quadro cognitivo che non imprigiona l’essenza dell’identità entro schemi, definizioni e classificazioni non sempre pertinenti all'intelligenza del presente; vuole invece evidenziare e rendere trasparente il complesso sistema affettivo che lega i novaresi alla loro terra, al loro dialetto, alle loro tradizioni. L’esito della ricerca è una ricchezza culturale che ricostruisce il passato di Novara, ne definisce il presente ed è strumento essenziale per pensare il futuro della città.

Micrographic surgery (Tubingen torte technique) for the treatment of an invasive dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with muscular involvement
No full textDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon skin tumour characterized by a slow, infiltrative growth and marked tendency towards local recurrences. Wide surgical excision of 3-5 cm from the margins including the fascia is the recommended treatment. Mohs Micrographic Surgery has been shown to afford lower rates of recurrence. The Mohs-Tubingen technique is a variant indicated for very large excisions that allows a complete eradication of the tumour, preserving healthy tissues. We report the case of a 45 year-old man affected by DFSP of the right shoulder deeply infiltrating the muscles, referred to us for a recurrence after a large excision. We submitted the patient to Mohs-Tubingen surgery in collaboration with an orthopaedic surgeon due to the presence of muscular involvement of DFSP. Two surgical operations were necessary to obtain negative histology as the tumor was deeply infiltrating the prescapular muscles. After three years of follow-up, the patient did not have any recurrence and the normal mobility of the shoulder was preserved. Precocious diagnosis and adequate therapy are necessary for DFSP as not only the margins, but also the deep invasion of the tumor have to be carefully controlled

Factors That Influence the Pain Response of Patients Admitted to an Emergency Department for Acute Musculoskeletal Trauma
No full textObjective: To monitor factors influencing pain intensity variations in patients admitted to an emergency department (ED). Method: A prospective observational study included 904 patients. Pain intensity was assessed at ED admission and discharge using a novel Visual Analog Scale interpretation. Patient data included trauma type, pain location, the injury environment, age, race, and the time elapse between assessments. Results: Distinct personal, temporal and contextual factors revealed characteristic pain improvement, and worsening patterns post-ED management. Conclusions: The ED’s pivotal role in pain relief, influenced by various factors, underscores the importance of optimizing patient care
