«Quod anima sit in horizonte duorum mundorum». Psicologia e antropologia in Guglielmo d’Alvernia
No full textThis essay focuses on a particular set of anthropological ideas in circulation in Paris during the first half of the thirteenth–century, followed by a diachronic analysis which takes into account the Teaching as a whole. The two main questions to be explored are: a) what is the soul? b) what is the relationship between the soul and the body? We will see how William of Auvergne not only developed a negative concept of the body, in an Orphic–Platonic mold (i.e. the prison of the soul), but, further, that his speculation points toward a parallelism between the inner and external worlds. He presents an anthropology based upon a psychology of the divine image as imprinted on the soul, which states that man’s being is an image in the likeness of God (homo divinae similitudinis formae)
La duplice natura dell’uomo, tra ermetismo antico ed ermetismo rinascimentale. Note in margine al volgarizzamento fiorentino di «Corpus Hermeticum» I
No full textThe aim of this essay is to analyze, in the Greek text, the modalities of human participation in the divine being; compare them with those described in the Latin and vernacular translations. Then it will demonstrate the theoretical transformations between Ancient Hermetism and Renaissance Hermetism

Full text linkSevere aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR) frequently coexist. Although some observational studies have reported that moderate or severe MR is associated with higher mortality, the optimal management of such patients is still unclear. Simultaneous replacement of both aortic and mitral valves is linked to significantly higher morbidity and mortality. Recent advances in minimally invasive surgical or transcatheter therapies for MR allow for staged procedures in which surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (SAVR/TAVR) is done first and MR severity re-evaluated afterwards. Current evidence suggests MR severity improves in some patients after SAVR or TAVR, depending on several factors (MR aetiology, type of valve used for TAVR, presence/absence of atrial fibrillation, residual aortic regurgitation, etc). However, as of today, the absence of randomised clinical trials does not allow for evidence-based recommendations about whether or not MR should be addressed at the time of SAVR or TAVR. A careful patient evaluation and clinical judgement are recommended to distinguish patients who might benefit from a double valve intervention from those in which MR should be left alone. The aim of this review is to report and critique the available data on this subject in order to help guide the clinical decision making in this challenging subset of patients
