Clinical Manifestations of gallstone disease: evidence from the Multicenter Italian study on Cholelithiasis (MICOL)
No full textAbstract: Despite the many efforts to delineate the clinical manifestations of gallbladder disease, the precise symptom complex associated with gallstones is still a matter of debate, and even the existence of gallstone-specific symptoms has been questioned. We carried out a large population-based cross-sectional study (MICOL) to identify symptoms significantly related to gallstones, Fourteen centers throughout Italy enrolled 29,504 subjects aged 30 to 69 years. All subjects were administered an ultrasonographic examination of the upper abdomen and a preceded questionnaire. All subjects were divided into 4 groups: 25,374 (86.0%) gallstone-free subjects (GF), 1,832 (6.2%) patients with gallstones not previously diagnosed (GNPD), 638 (2.2%) patients with gallstones previously diagnosed (GPD), 1,660 (5.6%) patients with a history of cholecystectomy for gallstones (CC). In logistic regression analysis, pain at epigastrium and, even more, pain at right hypocondrium were significantly associated with gallstones, For pain at right hypocondrium, this association progressively increased from GNPD (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 0.97-2.65) to GPD (OR = 8.77, 95% CI = 5.27-14.61) to CC (OR = 59.40, 95% CI = 43.87-80.42). Absence of heartburn combined with right hypocondrium or epigastrium pain and intolerance to fried or fatty food were also significantly related to gallstones. We also found some pain characteristics significantly associated with gallstones, i.e,, pain radiated to the right shoulder, forcing the patient to rest, occurring soon after meals or unrelated to meals, not relieved by bowel movements, and frequently accompanied by gallstone-related morbidities. We developed a probability tree reporting the cumulative probability of having gallstones for each combination of those symptoms and characteristics of pain significantly associated with gallstones, In conclusion, we have identified symptoms and signs significantly associated with gallstones. We have shown that there is an increase in frequency and severity of these symptoms and signs across the different stages of gallstone disease. We have proposed a complex of symptoms and signs significantly associated with gallstones that might help physicians in clinical decision making
Clinical manifestations of gallstone disease: evidence from the multicenter Italian study on cholelithiasis (MICOL)
No full textAIM: To evaluate gallstone incidence and risk factors in a large population-based study. METHODS: Gallstone incidence and risk factors, were evaluated by structured questionnaire and physical examination, respectively, in 9611 of 11 109 (86.5%) subjects who were gallstone-free at the cross-sectional study. RESULTS: Six centers throughout Italy enrolled 9611 subjects (5477 males, 4134 females, aged 30-79 years), 9517 of whom were included into analysis: 424 subjects (4.4%) had gallstones and 61 (0.6%) had been cholecystectomized yielding a cumulative incidence of 0.67% per year (0.66% in males, 0.81% in females). Increasing age, a high body mass index (BMI), a history of diabetes, peptic ulcer and angina, and low cholesterol and high triglyceride levels were identified as risk factors in men while, in females, the only risk factors were increasing age and a high BMI. Increasing age and pain in the right hypocondrium in men and increasing age in females were identified as predictors of gallstones. Pain in the epigastrium/right hypocondrium was the only symptom related to gallstones; furthermore, some characteristics of pain (forcing to rest, not relieved by bowel movements) were significantly associated with gallstones. No correlation was found between gallstone characteristics and clinical manifestations, while increasing age in men and increasing age and BMI in females were predictors of pain. CONCLUSION: Increasing age and BMI represent true risk factors for gallstone disease (GD); pain in the right hypocondrium and/or epigastrium is confirmed as the only symptom related to gallstones
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)
Deliberation and journalism
No full textThe first chapter in 'International Journalism and Democracy' re-examines current ideas about the role of journalism in promoting democracy, introducing the concept of "deliberative journalism". 'Deliberation and Journalism' lists the ways in which journalists can assist deliberation and politics in communities around the world. The chapter defines deliberation as a specific form of conversation that precedes and promotes decision-making and action by members of a community. The author recognises the difficulty of engaging in deliberation in communities that are divided by different interests, identities, backgrounds, resources and needs. She provides examples of strategies that journalists can use to encourage inclusive and productive deliberation in the face of community diversity.\ud

The chapter introduces examples of types of deliberative journalism that have emerged around the globe. These include strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public journalism, civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, environmental journalism, and social entrepreneurism. The chapter also includes models of journalism that have not yet been given any particular name. Although the book identifies problems surrounding the theory and practice of these forms of journalism, the author notes that this is to be expected. Most models of deliberative journalism are relatively new, with none being more than a few decades old. The author concludes that resolution of these problems will only occur incrementally
American public journalism versus other international media models
No full textChapter 2 of 'International Journalism and Democracy' provides examples of what the author dubs "deliberative journalism". Following a definition of deliberative journalism in Chapter 1, the book's second chapter examines major models of deliberative journalism that are in operation around the world. These models include public journalism, citizen journalism, community and alternative media, development journalism and peace journalism. \ud

The author argues that when these new forms of journalism are practiced well, they extend people's ability to identify, express, understand and respond to politics and issues affecting their communities. However, the main models of deliberative journalism all have contentious elements. Many deliberative journalism practioners have been subjected to criticism for lack of objectivity and poor professional standards. Many of their activities have clearly been ill-conceived. The author also finds that neither professional nor citizen journalists have a strong understanding of what constitutes "good practice" in deliberative journalism. Furthermore, there is much debate as to whether the type of "citizen journalism" that is posted intermittently on Facebook, Twitter, blogs and other social media can even be defined as "journalism". The practice of deliberative journalism can potentially contribute to public deliberation, but it does not always do so in any immediate or obvious way. The author finds that even so, deliberative journalism indirectly strengthens the environments that support fertile deliberation and decision making. (See the Extended Abstract for further details.

Marton, north Lincolnshire: a Romano-British settlement in its context
No full textThis thesis seeks to reconstruct and interpret the form and extent of the Romano- British settlement at Marton, North Lincolnshire. The site at Marton has previously been the subject of no formal programme of archaeological research. However it offers a rich potential for applying non-intrusive archaeological survey, and this study is based on the results obtained from a combination of different survey techniques. Although the site has received very little formal archaeological attention in the past, uncontrolled metal-detection has been intensive over recent years. The unrecorded leaching of material, coupled with the diverse range of artefacts known to have been retrieved in detection has been one of the principal catalysts behind the adoption of this survey. The data was collected both from previous aerial photographic surveys and metal detectorists with whom a working relationship had been established, and in geophysical survey and field walking undertaken by the author. Survey methodology and the results of the different components of the survey are presented in chapters 2 to 6. Initial interpretations of the features identified from the aerial photographic and geophysical survey are proposed and the main chronological and spatial trends m the distribution of pottery, coins and other small finds are summarised. Chapter 7 compares the results obtained from the different classes of evidence and refines the interpretations offered for the development of the site through time and space. Specific issues considered are the origins of the settlement, its internal organisation and extent and its relationship with nearby Littleborough. The final chapter compares Marton with other sites in the region and sites of a similar type in Roman Britain. A series of hypotheses are then proposed concerning the nature of the site and its function and evolution in its local landscape
