Laparoscopic mesogastrium excision for gastric cancer. Only the beginning
No full textBackground: Surgery, with the aid of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is the only curative chance for gastric cancer. Unfortunately, gastric cancer had an elevated recurrence rate, primarily locally. Mesogastrium excision (MGE) during D2 lymphadenectomy has the aim to remove all possible contaminated tissue around the stomach. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and the Web of Science (WOS) were systematically searched for MGE reports in gastric cancer up to March 2020. The outcome reported were the number of lymph nodes retrieved, operative time (OT), overall morbidity, intra- and postoperative complications, conversion rate, and length of hospital stay. Results: A total of six studies, including 518 patients, were considered eligible for this analysis. All the studies reported laparoscopic cases. The mean number of lymph nodes retrieved was 36.7 ± 10.1. Mean OT was 240.7 ± 10.1 minutes. One case of conversion is reported. Overall morbidity was 6%. Medium estimated blood loss was 50.2 ± 39.6 mL. Overall length of stay was 10.7 ± 0.7 days. Mean follow-up was 11 ± 1.4 months. Conclusions: Only few studies evaluated this item, and according to the available evidence, MGE is a feasible technique that could be performed, also laparoscopically, in all surgical resections for gastric cancer with curative intent. Further studies are essential to establish the clear indication of this invasive procedure
Evidence on postoperative abdominal binding. A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
No full textBackground: Midline laparotomy is an unavoidable approach to many surgical procedures. Many surgeons prescript the use of postoperative abdominal binder during the first mobilization after surgery. The use and the cost effective of this device is still debated by many surgeons.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and the CENTRAL were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing patients who wore abdominal binder ("binder") and patient who did not wear any abdominal binder ("non-binder") up to March 2020. The primary outcomes measured in the comparison were postoperative pain, pulmonary functions, the entity of physical activity, the comfort. A meta-analysis of relevant studies was performed using RevMan 5.3.
Results: wearing an abdominal binder after midline laparotomy seems to reduce postoperative pain on first and third postoperative day, to improve the physical activity on third postoperative day, and not affect pulmonary functions. Generally, an elastic abdominal binder is well tolerated during postoperative.
Conclusions: the use of elastic abdominal binder permits a comfortable early postoperative mobilization reducing pain, increases physical activity and seems to not affect pulmonary functions
Minilaparoscopic cholecystectomy versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An endless debate
No full textBackground: Our systematic review and meta-analysis examine the impact of minilaparoscopic cholecystectomy (MLC) versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC). Some authors previously compared these surgical approaches without reaching any clear conclusion, since then, further trials have been performed, but an update was needed. Materials and Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and the CENTRAL were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials comparing MLC versus CLC up to August 2019. The outcome measures used for comparison were operative time (OT), overall morbidity, intra- and postoperative complications, conversion and reintervention rate, length of hospital stay (LOS), postoperative pain (POP), and cosmetic results. A meta-analysis of relevant studies was performed using RevMan 5.3. Results: Fifteen studies, including 863 patients, were considered eligible to collect data and entered the meta-analysis. A total of 415 patients in the MLC group versus 448 in the CLC group were compared. No statistical difference as for overall morbidity, intra- and postoperative complications, conversion and reintervention rate, LOS, and cosmetic results were retrieved among the groups. CLC results faster and MLC shows to be the least painful. Conclusions: According to the available high-level evidence, both surgical approaches resulted substantially equivalent to perform LC, with some advantages of CLC as for OT and of MLC concerning POP. As a consequence, we can conclude that either procedure is superior or inferior to the other one; actually, we are not able to suggest the adoption of any of the two on a routine basis
»It contained harbours that pleased me like sonnets«. Kleine Poetik der diegetischen Karte
No full textIn this article, Federico Italiano explores the relationship between literature and cartography. Beginning with Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the author frames the topic through a general theoretical lens on the spatial dimension of literary texts. He then focuses on a specific phenomenon of literary "carticity"—the diegetic presence of the map, that is, the map as an integral element of the narrative structure. Among others, Italiano examines the works of Houellebecq and Cormac McCarthy
Adenocarcinoma in the intrathoracic transposed colon
No full textSi analizzano le possibilità di insorgenza di un tumore nel colon interposto nel torace dopo esofagectomia.Patients who had esophagectomy with colon interposition for benign disease have long survivals. Adenocarcinoma arising in the interposed colon is a possible event. We describe a 65 year old female in whom we performed 37 years ago esophagectomy with left colon interposition for lye-induced strictures. At endoscopy an obstructing adenocarcinoma in the interposed colon was detected. She underwent complete endoscopic removal of the tumor. The lady is in good general conditions, having a regular diet, and without evidence of recurrent disease, 5 years later

Aneddoti e ricette a corte di Federico II nel XXI secolo : il buon cibo e il buon bere nel più antico Ateneo pubblico al mondo
No full text[Italiano]: Questo volume rappresenta la finalizzazione di una iniziativa nata, condivisa ed interamente realizzata all'interno del gruppo social dei "Prof in cucina e in Cantina", che ha inteso raccogliere ricette e descrizioni aneddotiche di singoli Autori, appartenenti ai ruoli del personale docente e tecnico-amministrativo-bibliotecario dell'Ateneo federiciano, il più antico Ateneo pubblico al mondo. Aneddoti e ricette forniscono spaccati di vita quotidiana e ricostruzioni di eventi che hanno accompagnato gli Autori nei diversi percorsi formativi, sociali e lavorativi, e che non escludono riferimenti al recente periodo emergenziale della pandemia COVID-19. Ad introdurre il Volume è un menù federiciano, con una proposta di 3 pietanze che attualizzano ricette ed abitubini alimentari dell'epoca, e che hanno come riferimento il Liber de coquina, edito a corte di Federico II. Gli 8 Capitoli del volume raggruppano ricette e aneddoti per categorie, e ciascuno di essi è poi preceduto da un breve inserto con ulteriori riferimenti storici all'alimentazione a Corte di Federico II. Così, atmosfere vecchie e nuove, accompagnate dal sentore di aromi e da suggestioni ispirate al vissuto di ciascun Autore, si fondono per offrire a Lettrici e Lettori frammenti di quotidianità vissuti oggi a corte di Federico II, nel XXI secolo./[English]: The Volume represents the endpoint of a recent initiative, which was conceived, shared and fully realized within the social group of the "Prof in Cucina e in Cantina". Here, the several Authors, represented by the teaching and the technical/administrative/librarian staff of the Federico II University in Naples, the oldest public University in the world, propose recipes and anecdotal descriptions of their educational, social and work-related paths, including some episodes from the recent COVID-19 pandemic. A menu inspired to Frederick II introduces the book, with 3 recipes inspired to the Liber de coquina, a cooking manual compiled at the Emperor's court. Each of the following 8 thematic chapters of the book is also anticipated by a brief insert reporting historical reconstructions of the alimentary habits at the court of Frederick II. Thus, old and new atmospheres, accompanied by the scent of aromas and suggestions inspired by the experience of each Author, come together to offer Readers fragments of everyday life at the court of Frederick II, in the 21st century
Federico De Roberto, «L’imperio»
No full textIl breve saggio analizza l'incipit dell'Imperio di Federico De Roberto mettendo a fuoco come l'Autore riesca a dare una rappresentazione teatrale del parlamento e, con ciò, a desacralizzarne la funzione politica e a ridicolizzarne i principali attori: i parlamentari.
