I nuovi procedimenti legislativi
Il contributo contiene l'analisi dei diversi procedimenti legislativi contemplati dal disegno di legge di revisione costituzionale "Renzi-Boschi", cercando di mettere in luce le principali criticità delle scelte compiute dal legislatore costituzionale nel suo tentativo di superare per i procedimenti "ordinari" il sistema bicamerale paritario

Il problematico iter di approvazione del disegno di legge costituzionale "Renzi-Boschi"
Il contributo ricostruisce criticamente l'iter di esame parlamentare del disegno di legge costituzionale "Renzi-Boschi", che viene collocato nel più ampio clima di riformismo istituzionale che ha connaturato la XVII Legislatura, mettendo in evidenza le principali criticità procedurali emerse sul piano del rispetto della disciplina regolamentare, avanzando altresì alcuni rilievi relativi alle scelte di merito compite dal legislatore costituzional
I nuovi procedimenti legislativi
Il contributo analizza criticamente le modifiche al procedimento legislativo introdotte dall'articolata riforma costituzionale approvata a maggioranza assoluta dalle Camere nel 2016, la quale fra le altre cose prevede il superamento del bicameralismo paritario.Il contributo contiene l'analisi dei diversi procedimenti legislativi contemplati dal disegno di legge di revisione costituzionale "Renzi-Boschi", cercando di mettere in luce le principali criticità delle scelte compiute dal legislatore costituzionale nel suo tentativo di superare per i procedimenti "ordinari" il sistema bicamerale paritario
Low-grade fibromatosis-like spindle cell metaplastic carcinoma: a basal-like tumor with a favorable clinical outcome. Report of two cases
Low-grade fibromatosis-like spindle cell metaplastic carcinoma: a basal-like tumor with a favorable clinical outcome. Report of two cases
Fibromatosis-like spindle-cell metaplastic carcinoma (FLSpCC) is an atypical variant of spindle-cell carcinoma with a particular clinical behavior characterized by frequent local recurrence, very low potential for axillary lymph node metastasis, and uncommon distant metastases. Although it presents the typical immunoprofile of basal-like carcinomas, FLSpCC is associated with a favorable clinical outcome and conservative treatment is generally indicated. Because of the lack of specific clinical and radiological characteristics, the criteria for the differential diagnosis from other benign and malignant tumors are based only on histological findings and immunostaining. We report on two FLSpCC patients treated with wide local excision and mastectomy associated with axillary lymph node dissection. Although the biological behavior of this subtype of breast cancer has not been adequately evaluated, wide local excision or mastectomy with clear resection margins but no axillary dissection appears to be an adequate treatment approac
Epidural spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain: a neurosurgical multicentric Italian data collection and analysis
Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a technique used worldwide to treat several types of chronic neuropathic pain refractory to any conservative treatment. The aim of this data collection is to enforce evidence of SCS effectiveness on neuropathic chronic pain reported in the literature and to speculate on the usefulness of the trial period in determining the long–term efficacy. Moreover, the very low percentage of undesired side effects and complications reported in our case series suggests that all implants should be performed by similarly well-trained and experienced professionals. Method: A multicentric data collection on a common database from 11 Italian neurosurgical departments started 3 years ago. Two different types of electrodes (paddle or percutaneous leads) were used. Of 122 patients, 73 % (N = 89) were submitted to a trial period, while the remaining patients underwent the immediate permanent implant (N = 33). Statistical comparisons of continuous variables between groups were performed. Results: Most of the patients (80 %) had predominant pain to their lower limbs, while only 17 % of patients had prevalent axial pain. Significant reduction in pain, as measured by variation in visual analogue scale (VAS) score, was observed at least 1 year after implantation in 63.8 % of the cases, 59.5 % of patients who underwent a test trial and 71.4 % of patients who underwent permanent implant at once. No statistical differences were found between the lower-limb pain group and the axial pain group. Conclusions: No relevant differences in long-term outcomes were observed in previously tested patients compared with patients implanted at once. Through this analysis we hope to recruit new centres, to give more scientific value to our results
