    Previously we demonstrated the acaricidal properties of Lavandula angustifolia Miller essential oil and of linalool, one of its main components, against Psoroptes cuniculi detected following direct contact of the substances with the mites. In the present paper we report the acaricidal activity of volatile linalool and of the lavender essential oil without direct contact of the ectoparasites with these substances. Diethyl ether extracts of dead mites showed linalool was the only detectable substance using this method by gas chromatography, The study confirms the acaricidal properties of lavender essential oil and of linalool by inhalation, indicating an additional route for possible use of these substances both for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes

    The pharmacological activity of many essential oils on a large number of human and animal pathogens, as used in folk medicine, has been confirmed world-wide by several laboratory investigations. Unfortunately, the biological properties of essential oils can be extremely inconsistent because of the variability of their chemical composition. The acaricidal activities of some natural terpenoids, which are the main constitutents of several essential oils, were evaluated in vitro against the mange mite (Psoroptes cuniculi) of the rabbit, by direct contact and by inhalation. Because the test components represent different chemical classes (hydrocarbons, alcohols, and phenols, with free and esterified or etherified functional groups), it was also possible to discern in a preliminary fashion a correlation between chemical structure and acaricidal activity. The results obtained suggest that molecules possessing free alcoholic or phenolic groups showed the most potent acaricidal activity

    openIl presente lavoro si propone di indagare la questione della crisi del soggetto così come discussa dall'autore italiano Guido Morselli, nelle diverse sedi dei romanzi, della produzione saggistica e del diario personale. Da qui si analizzeranno temi quali il solipsismo e gli interrogativi esistenziali, fin dai loro primi riverberi nella filosofia centro-europea di fine Ottocento, inizio Novecento.The present work aims yo investigate the issue of the crisis of the subject, as it is discussed by the Italian author Guido Morselli, on his novels, essays and personal diary. We will also analyze topics such as solipsism and existential questions from their first reverberations on the late eighteen century and early nineteen century middle European philosophy

    Manifesto per una salute di prossimità Una ricalibratura dell’assistenza territoriale del Servizio Sanitario Nazionale a partire dalla centralità della persona

    La pandemia di Covid-19 ha evidenziato ulteriormente le criticità e le debolezze strutturali del nostro Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN) che hanno caratterizzato il suo sviluppo nel corso di ormai oltre quarant’anni di storia. Tra queste, una particolare rilevanza per la natura sindemica della malattia ha assunto la difficoltà del sistema di cure primarie e dei servizi territoriali a svolgere la sua fondamentale funzione di prevenzione, di cura e di contenimento della diffusione del contagio, indispensabile anche per non sovraccaricare il sistema ospedaliero e di emergenza-urgenza
