    The authors discuss obesity from the point of view of classification, presentation and etiology and describe their clinical approach in a case of hypergynous lipodistrophy in a female patient. A detailed history was taken and the patient underwent an accurate clinical examination. Preoperatively, blood samples were taken to assess endocrinological status, blood sugar and fats. Interesting information was obtained through -ray investigations, total body scintigraphy and magnetic resonance. Such investigations were performed to assess the amount, the aspect and the distribution of fat. The data obtained were analysed according to the different distribution of fat in the patient's body and to the type of fat, that we divide into 'essential' and 'storage' fat. The study of the patients metabolism does not make it possible, however, to find its relation to the anatomical and clinical situation, thus stressing the difficully of a classification of this disease

    This paper proposes a literature review concerning the processes of emotional socialization in the family context. The characteristics of the emotional socialization processes are described starting from the analysis of the main results of the empirical studies and of some theoretical models. Particular attention is dedicated to the studies that have analysed families at high psychosocial risk (maltreatment and psychopathological symptoms). In the last part of the review a validated training for parents is presented that aimed to promoting emotional coaching socialization. The efficacy of this training has been evaluated in several studies both through a normative and clinical population. Copyright © 2016 FrancoAngeli

    Vengono presentati i risultati di una ricerca sperimentale condotta in 76 topi albini, in cui sono state inserite opportune protesi in dimetilpolisilossano solido; gli animali sono stati successivamente trattati con teofillina o con adenosina per via sistemica: a distanza di 1,2,4 settimane dall’impianto della protesi sono state valutate le caratteristiche istopatologiche della capsula formatasi attorno all’impianto. I risultati ottenuti indicano la possibilità di interferire mediante la teofillina o l’adenosina sulla RCE. La ricaduta clinica, per quanto tuttora da verificare, potrebbe non limitarsi al controllo della reazione connettivale agli impianti sintetici ma estendersi alla regolazione del processo di guarigione delle ferit
