The Italian Supreme Court Joint Sections set forth the interpretative underpinnings of the "Gelli-Bianco" law: varying degrees of guilt aimed at limiting medical liability, article 2236 C.C. makes a comeback
Full text linkThe article’s author has sought to summarize the regulatory and legal evolution of accidental criminal liability of doctors starting from earliest positions up until the enactment of the Gelli-Bianco law. An in-depth analysis is laid out based on the Italian Supreme Court Joint Sections ruling n. 8770/2018 (so-called Mariotti decision). The author has also elaborated upon the notion of varying degrees of guilt, which was taken out of the law’s wording, to be later reintroduced as a concept by judicial interpretation. It is worth noting that Article 3 of the Balduzzi decree, article 590 sexies of the Italian Criminal Code and the reference to article 2236 of the Civil Code reflect an awareness on the part of legislators that medical liability needs to be limited. Clearly, the approach based on lawfulness alone, which protects from liability physicians that have adhered to guidelines, has been dismissed, superseded by the notion of minor fault. Nonetheless, the new legislation, in the author’s estimation, constitutes a standard particularly ill-suited to modern medical practice, which has a high degree of complexity. The author concludes that it might be worth considering a more balanced alternative: getting back to the notion of fault, considering minor fault relevant, rather than major fault
Sars-CoV-2 infection after lung transplantation: is there professional liability?
No full text: For the first time in the literature, a case of Sars-Cov-2 infection after lung Transplantation has been described. This case, particularly rare, brought attention on the in-depth screening for Sars-CoV-2 on lung donor. In addition to infectious problems, it is important to focus attention on medico-legal issues related to this case. In fact, from the point of view of professional responsibility, in theory, there could be criteria for identifying professional responsibility. The author analyzes the possible presence of medical liability in this specific case
Letter to the editor in response to “Medically-assisted procreation and the rise of off-center, new types of “parenthood”: It is incumbent upon lawmakers to intervene”
Full text linkThe present letter is meant as a response to the commentary titled “Medically-assisted procreation and the rise of off-center, new types of “parenthood”: it is incumbent upon lawmakers to intervene”, which was published in issue 4, 2019, of the La Clinica Terapeutica journal. Newly available reproductive techniques have given rise to new opportunities to fulfill one's wishes for parenthood. Such developments have caused procreation to be perceived as a right, intended as the right to «artificial» procreation. Not only do such trends impact those couples who travel abroad in order to have children through heterologous fertilization and surrogacy: singles and same-sex couples pursue those avenues as well in order to become parents. In the article which we are commenting upon, the author has perused the evolving jurisprudence on that subject, pointing out how necessary it is for lawmakers to step in and clearly define the rights of all parties involved, minors in particular
Health in the 21st century: new rights come to the fore?
Full text linkBiotechnological advancements have engendered great expectations in patients, changing the very conception of health, which has come to be construed as psycho-physical well-being rather than a mere absence of diseases. The doctor-patient relationship is affected by the dearth of funds allocated for health care. Doctors, however, should make the most out of the meager resources available, while tackling any form of discrimination in access to health care
REALIZZAZIONE DI MEMBRANE BIOMIMETICHE E IMMOBILIZZAZIONE CHIMICA DI BIOMOLECOLE SU SUPERFICI SOLIDE - PRIN
No full textL’attività si focalizza sulla sintesi di nuovi materiali per la realizzazione di membrane biomimetiche e conseguente formazione di strutture ibride di strati organici su substrati inorganici (Oro e Ossidi di Indio e Stagno).
Le strutture ibride di strati organici su substrati inorganici mostrano alcune proprietà uniche che non possono essere riscontrate nei singoli materiali di partenza. Con la tecnica del microcontact printing è possibile ottenere regioni idrofile ed idrofobe alternate, i substrati così ottenuti possono essere usati come templati per produrre bilayer strutturati.
Si vogliono sintetizzare i derivati colestanici al fine di funzionalizzare le superfici di substrati di Au(111) e di ITO. Questi composti, infatti, hanno la capacità di interagire con i fosfolipidi che compongono la membrana cellulare permettendo la formazione di bilayers. Le membrane sono ottimali per l'immobilizzazione di biomolecole (enzimi, recettori di membrana, etc.)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
