    No full text
    This article faces the wide argument of communication, dissent and competing voices in today’s post-truth world, with an interdisciplinary analysis which blends different approaches coming from the fields of media sociology, political sociology and social philosophy, focusing on the theme of ‘public’, individuals and democ-racy. The work does that with the lecture of five different phenomena as trail sign – the ‘5 Ps’ quoted in the title, that is: post-truth, populism, polarization, political communication and post-modern era – which, both singularly considered and looking at their mutual interplays, could allow us to answer the main question of this research: it still makes sense to talk about ‘public’ and, if not, in which way it affects people’s relationships, society and democracy?

    Gli autori, attraverso una revisione della letteratura e mediante uno studio longitudinale effettuato nell'arco di 10 anni 81984-1993), confrontano i loro dati con quelli di altri autori. Discutono inoltre del danno potenziale e del danno futuro in tema di PTE postulando l'esigenza di ricorrere ad adeguati criteri statistici nella valutazione del rischio di evoluzione comiziale dei postumi del trauma cranio-encefalico

    The authors analyze a case of professional liability in the field of gastroenterology: a iatrogenic perforation of the sigmoid colon in a patient affected by intestinal diverticulitis and undergone in the same day colonoscopy with biopsy and double contrast barium enema. This perforation was not immediately recognized by doctors, although the patient complained of severe abdominal pain. Only after three days, a stercoraceous peritonitis was diagnosed and an intervention of anterior resection of the left colon was performed. The authors, after describing the case, present considerations about causality, both in terms of legal medicine and jurisprudence

    The data concerning a longitudinal search study on post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) together with a literature review on this topic are reported. The study, spanning from 1974 to 1993, includes 1,417 subjects with head injuries. An overall PTE incidence of 1.4% was found. The percentage incidence raised to 7.1% in the subgroup with moderate brain contusion and to 22% in the subgroup with severe brain contusion. These results showed a good concordance with the data reported in the literature. Furthermore, the future damage and the correct evaluation of the risk for PTE were discussed. The authors suggested a new statistic-mathematical formula to calculate the risk index for PTE, by which they evaluated the future damage in the studied population. According to this new criterion the overall PTE incidence shifted from 1.4 to 2%, from 7.1 to 9.8% in the moderate brain contusion subgroup and from 22 to 33% in the severe brain contusion subgroup
