Vietnam-western e detective-cowboy. Note su due casi di ibridazione nel cinema americano degli anni Sessanta e Settanta
No full textUno dei segnali di crisi ideologica che accompagnò l'escalation della guerra del Vietnam fu la revisione radicale dei tre più importanti generi cinematografici hollywoodiani del secondo dopoguerra: il western, il crime movie e, soprattutto, il combat movie.
Durante la Seconda guerra mondiale gli studios hollywoodiani, al loro picco di efficienza produttiva, furono mobilitati per sostenere con i propri film lo sforzo bellico del governo. Di conseguenza, l'industria cinematografica sviluppò uno dei generi cinematografici più distintivi, il combat movie. La risposta di Hollywood alla guerra in Vietnam, invece, fu assai diversa: con l'eccezione di The Green Berets, non furono prodotti combat movie hollywoodiani sul Vietnam mentre la guerra era in corso. La scelta di Hollywood di evitare il soggetto rifletteva la paura di affrontare un tema sul quale il pubblico americano era così intensamente diviso. In realtà, l’industria cinematografica affrontò la crisi di valori sollevata dalla guerra del Vietnam ma indirettamente, proiettando personaggi e storie della guerra indocinese nello spazio mitico del western. Il mucchio selvaggio di Peckinpah, ad esempio, rappresenta una chiara metafora del conflitto indocinese.
John Carpenter, con Distretto 13: le brigate della morte, ha compiuto un processo simile ma attraverso modalità differenti: inserendo la struttura narrativa di un film western classico all’interno di un crime movie, il regista è riuscito a parlare di temi sgraditi riguardanti la società americana degli anni Settanta
Post-Covid-19 Airway Stenosis: Tracheal Resection-Anastomosis Using The Tritube® Ventilation
No full text: We present a video of a tracheal resection and anastomosis performed on a patient affected by A-shaped tracheal stenosis. The condition was a consequence of a percutaneous tracheostomy following a Sars-Cov2 infection. Airways management during the surgery was obtained with the Tritube®, an innovative device with a very small lumen that combines stable lung parameters and good visualization of surgical field.

«Strange affinities». McCarthy e il cinema: un’influenza reciproca?
No full textFranco Lonati, partendo dalle analogie fra il giudice Holden e il colonnello Kurtz di Apocalypse Now, riflette sulla mutua influenza fra la narrativa di McCarthy e il cinema, suggerendo possibili analogie fra i personaggi dei suoi romanzi e i protagonisti di alcuni western revisionisti di cineasti come Terrence Malick, Michael Cimino e Sam Peckinpah

Growth performance, behaviour, forestomach development and meat quality of veal calves provided with barley grain or ground wheat straw for welfare purpose
No full textTwo different feeding plans for veal calves were compared in the study: a traditional liquid diet supplemented with 250 g/calf/d of barley grain or with 250 g/calf/d of ground wheat straw. The two solid feeds had different chemical composi- tion but a similar particle size obtained by grinding the straw in a mill with an 8-mm mesh screen. Twenty-four Polish Friesian male calves were used in the study and they were housed in individual wooden stalls (0.83 x 1.80 m). The health status of all the calves was satisfactory for the entire fattening period and no specific medical treatment was required during the trial. Calves fed wheat straw showed a greater intake of solid feed (196 vs. 139 g/d; P average daily gain (1288 vs. 1203 g/d; P not affected by the type of solid feed and no milk refusal episodes were detected. The haemoglobin concentration was similar in calves receiving the two feeding treatments despite the higher iron intake provided by the wheat straw through- out the fattening period (2.12 vs. 1.15 g; P calves’ metabolism. Feeding behaviour was affected by the provision of solid feeds. Eating and chewing were prolonged in calves receiving ground wheat straw and the same solid feed reduced the frequency of oral stereotypies at the end of the fattening period. At the slaughterhouse, no differences were observed between the feeding treatments as regards carcass weight and dressing percentage. The calves fed ground wheat straw had a heavier weight of the empty omasum (518 vs. 341 g; P fed barley grain. The incidence of abomasal erosions, ulcers and scars was similar in both treatments; however the index of abomasal damage, which considers the number and the seriousness of different type of lesions, was higher in calves receiving barley grain. Therefore, the grinding of straw particles, as opposed to barley grain, can reduce the abrasive- ness of roughage at the abomasum level. Visual evaluation of the carcass colour and instrumental measurement of meat colour did not show significant differences between diets. The study confirmed that in the veal calf, carcass and meat colour are not strictly correlated with the iron intake from solid feeds. </div
