FGM: un problema da porre
No full textl'articoloL’articolo discute il problema delle mutilazioni genitali femminili.Che sono diventate un problema crescente per le istituzioni democratiche dell’Occidente. Le MGF non sono connesse con l’Islam perché non sono previste dal Corano, ma sono massicciamente praticate negli stati del Corno d’Africa. Le ragioni sono culturali e legate alla superstizione. L’Europa ha promulgato severe norme a tutela delle donne che hanno subito simili trattamenti e sta lavorando duramente sulla relativa prevenzione, specialmente l’Italia con la legge 7/2006 con la quale sopno stati stabiliti protocolli sanitari ed educativi

Operative and hardware complications of deep brain stimulation for movement disorders
No full textThe objective of this investigation was to present the operative and hardware complications encountered during follow-up of patients with in situ deep brain stimulators. The study took the form of a retrospective chart review on a series of consecutive patients who were treated successfully with insertion of deep brain stimulators at a single centre by a single surgeon between 1999 and 2005. During the study period, a total of 60 patients underwent 96 procedures for implantation of unilateral or bilateral DBS electrodes. The mean follow-up period was 43.7 months ( range 6 - 78 months) from the time of the first procedure. No patients were lost to follow-up or died. Eighteen patients (30%) developed 28 adverse events, requiring 28 electrodes to be replaced. Seven patients developed two adverse events and two patients developed three adverse events. The rate of adverse events per electrode-year was 8%. We observed a higher proportion of early complications ( 56 months postoperatively) in patients with Parkinson's disease, while dystonic patients had more late complications ( 46 months postoperatively) and no early complications. Thirty per cent of our patients developed an adverse event that could potentially lead to revision of the implanted hardware. In patients with Parkinson's disease most of the complications tend to occur during the first 6 months postoperatively, while in dystonic patients most occur between 12 and 24 months postoperatively
Development, Characterization, and Exploitation in Food Systems of Functional Ingredients Obtained from Artichoke By-Products Phenolic Extracts
No full textThe study aimed to assess the technological properties of six ethanolic phenolic-rich extracts derived from artichoke bracts, stems, and leaves using different extraction methods (maceration and ultrasonic-assisted extraction—UAE) for the formulation of oil-in-water emulsions in which pea protein concentrate served as an emulsifier. To this aim, the extracts were tested for their surface properties and their effect on the colloidal and antioxidant properties in emulsions. The extracts reduced the surface tension at the water/air interface in a dose-dependent manner, with the leaf extract obtained by UAE displaying the highest surface activity. In emulsions, the extracts increased oil droplet size and induced flocculation while being able to delay oxidation, as indicated by the induction period significantly higher compared to the control. In the last part of the work, encapsulation by spray-drying was explored on a selected leaf extract, and its release behavior in an enriched vegan mayonnaise was tested by in vitro digestion. The encapsulation influenced the release of phenolic compounds during simulated gastrointestinal digestion of the enriched vegan mayonnaise, demonstrating promising protective effects in the gastric environment and promoting a predominant release during the intestinal phase, potentially enhancing the absorption and bio-accessibility of the phenolic compounds
Measuring residential segregation of selected foreign groups with aspatial and spatial evenness indices. A case study
No full textOver the last decades there have been important methodological advances in measuring residential segregation, especially concerning spatial indices. After a discussion of the fundamental concepts and approaches some of the numerous indices are introduced. We focus in particular on the most known aspatial and spatial indices in the dimension of evenness namely segregation and dissimilarity indices. The contribution is based on data of the geographic distribution of selected foreign groups resident in the census enumeration areas that form the Local Labour Market Area (LLMA) of Rome. Data refer to the population censuses 2001 and 2011. Applying the indices to the LLMA of Rome serves as a test of the practical and potential usefulness of the proposed measures and their possible interpretation
18-FDG PET in the diagnosis of laterocervical metastases from occult carcinoma.
No full textThe management of patients with cervical node metastasis (CNM) from carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) often includes several radiographic studies and invasive procedures that are only successful in detecting an occult primary tumour in less than 25% of the cases. In this prospective study we have assessed the role of total body positron emission tomography (PET) using an 18-F-fluorodesoxyglucose (FDG) in the detection of primary tumours in patients with metastases from CUP. Thirteen patients with lymph node metastases from cytologically verified CUP have undergone total body FDG PET which confirmed the possibility of lymph nodal lesion; all patients have also undergone conventional imaging with CT and/or MRI. The data obtained with the FDG-PET method have subsequently been confirmed both by the histopathological examination and by the clinical course of the disease. The current work aims at assessing and defining the effectiveness of the FDG-PET method during the diagnostic work-up of laterocervical metastasis from CUP conventionally examined with CT and/or MRI; based on our results, we recommend a flow-chart for the clinical-diagnostic management of the patient affected by laterocervical metastasis in the absence of known primary
