    Tipologia: Clinico-epidemiologica sperimentale - Area di interesse - Descrizione: si tratta di uno studio multicentrico attivato in collaborazione con Dr. D. Letson (Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, Florida), Dr. F. Hornicek (MFH, Harvard, US), Dr. T. Temple (University of Miami), Dr. R. Kotz (Dipartimento di Ortopedia di Vienna) per validare una nuova classificazione proposta dal Dr. Letson del Moffitt Cancer Center e modificata dal Prof. Mercuri e Prof. Ruggieri. Sono già stati arruolati i dati di oltre 200 protesi dell Istituto Rizzoli e Moffitt Cancer Center. Lo studio proseguirà con l inclusione degli altri centri. Risultati e prodotti conseguiti -Attività previste: Gli obiettivi di ricerca sono connessi ai possibili miglioramenti dei sistemi protesici modulari esistenti ed alla miglior definizione delle indicazioni differenziali ricostruttive nelle situazioni standard ed in situazioni e pazienti peculiari per età o richiesta funzionale. Gli obiettivi corrispondono allo studio di una nuova classificazione delle revisioni con protesi modulari sempre più adeguata

    “Sehnsucht” (nostalgia): anatomia di un concetto nella Teoria critica di Max Horkheimer

    No full text
    The aim of this contribution is to analyze the theme of nostalgia (“Sehnsucht”) in the work of Max Horkheimer (1895-1973). This theme refers not only to a personal emotional state (“Stimmung”) but also serves as a lens for understanding both our era and the course of the world from a sociocultural perspective. In a broad analysis, nostalgia emerges as a defining feature of Horkheimer’s contributions to Critical Theory. It transcends mere occurrence and acts as an underlying sentiment that permeates all his analyses, from his early writings to his later works. Through a careful examination of Horkheimer’s texts (both published and unpublished) as well as secondary scholarly literature on the author, this essay aims to offer a particular interpretation of Critical Theory. In addressing thinkers like Paul Tillich and through a renewed engagement with Arthur Schopenhauer - referred to as Horkheimer’s Schopenhauer-Marxismus (Wiggershaus) - the Frankfurt School emphasizes the necessity for sociologists to adopt a “disenchanted” and “disillusioned” perspective. This viewpoint emerges against the backdrop of a dialogue among the sociological, theological, and ethical-political spheres, which has gained considerable interest in the latest generation of Critical Theory

    Complex malformation (Ruggieri-Happle) phenotype with "cutis tricolor" in a 10-year-old girl

    No full text
    The term cut is tricolor describes the combination of congenital hyper- and hypo-pigmented skin lesions in close proximity to each other in a background of normal complexion. It is currently regarded as a twin-spotting phenomenon and today is clear that not all cases of cutis tricolor represent one single entity. This phenomenon has been reported so far: (a) as an isolated skin manifestation; (b) as a part of a complex malformation syndrome (Ruggieri-Happle syndrome - RHS); (c) as a distinct phenotype [cut is tricolor parvimaculata]; (d) in association with other (e.g., vascular) skin disturbances. We report a novel case of cutis tricolor in a 10-year-old girl who had dysmorphic facial features [alike those seen in cases with syndromic (RHS) cutis tricolor], overall overgrowth [weight, length, and head circumference were >90th percentile; there was increased bone age], mild cognitive delay (current IQ = 55), behavioural disturbances, febrile seizures and (later) partial complex epilepsy (currently under good control), and skeletal defects [i.e., posterior scalloping of the lumbar vertebrae]. We discuss the main similarities and differences between the various phenotypes in the spectrum of cutis tricolor and with other conditions sharing features with the present case.

    Die Umdrehung der Werte: The Ambivalent Intellectual Relationship between Georg Simmel and Max Scheler

    No full text
    This paper explores the intellectual and the biographical relationship between Georg Simmel (1858-1918) and Max Scheler (1874-1928). This topic has been examined through correspondences, direct and indirect references, as well as investigations in the Munich Archive (Bayersiche Staatsbibliothek – BSB). Simmel and Scheler lived in Berlin in the early twentieth century, so they shared the German Jahrhundertwende “Zeitgeist” and many fascinations, anxieties, hopes, and feelings. Scheler was Simmel’s pupil (Berliner Humboldt Universität) in 1895, but they were destined to meet again and again. Simmel attended some of Scheler’s lectures as he searched for his theoretical path. Their roots of reciprocal influence also spanned many indirect interests and they developed personal acquaintance. There are many similarities and affinities in Simmel’s and Scheler’s work, that behind the reciprocal effect of their respective intellectual work hide an undeniable and unavoidable ambivalence. They converge on many topics (the cultural and moral analysis of values, the rediscovery of “emotional” issues in the foundation of social and cultural theory, the historical and anthropological interests, etc.), even though their respective philosophical and sociological findings were quite different. Scheler’s “essentialist” position, in opposition to some Simmelian “functionalism” (i.e. relationalism), does not detract from the mighty importance of Simmel’s unique approach, which brought a breath of novelty to both philosophical and sociological fields through its eclectic and innovative inquiry into modernity and from Scheler’s new phenomenological approach. The interaction between Simmel and Scheler was certainly significant for both of them, surely for defining and clarifying their own philosophy of culture as well as their anthropological and sociological achievements
