Convinzione naturale e convinzione speculativa, fede e sapere, vita e filosofia: l'intervento di Reinhold nell'Atheismusstreit
No full text1799 is the year of the “atheism dispute” on Fichte’s philosophy. In this dispute Karl Leonhard Reinhold took part with his open letter Sendschreiben an J. C. Lavater und J. G. Fichte über den Glauben an Gott, a text that has to be read with the other of the same
year Ueber die Paradoxien der neuesten Philosophie. The main topic of these works is the relation between life and philosophy, and consequently between faith and knowledge, which represents a question that has led Reinhold’s thought through his entire production. In this essay I will discuss Reinhold’s solution of a ‘middle point of view’ (Zwischenstandpunkt) between Fichte’s speculation and the philosophy of Jacobi by means of the concepts of Überzeugung (conviction) and freedom, to show whether and how Reinhold found an “harmonic agreement” between the moral convictions of the common sense and the philosophical theories. Meanwhile, I will draw attention to the continuity of Reinhold’s thought by demonstrating that the conceptual cornerstone of the works about Fichte’s atheism are intimately related to Reinhold’s conversion to Bardili’s realis
Treating Alcohol Use Disorder in Patients with Alcohol Associated Liver Disease
No full textAlcohol use disorder (AUD) is one of the main causes of global death and disability. The liver represents the main target of alcohol damage and alcohol associated liver disease (ALD) represents the first cause of liver cirrhosis in Western Countries. Alcohol abstinence is the main goal of treatment in AUD patients with ALD, because treatments for ALD are less effective when drinking continues. Moreover, the persistence of alcohol consumption is associated with higher mortality, increased need for liver transplantation and graft loss. The most effective treatment for AUD is the combination of psychosocial interventions, pharmacological therapy and medical management. However, the effectiveness of these treatments in patients with ALD are doubtful even because AUD patients with ALD are usually excluded from pharmacological trials due to concerns on liver safety. This narrative review will discuss the treatment options for AUD-ALD patients focusing on controversies in pharmacological therapy

Alcohol-related Liver Disease and sepsis
No full textSepsis is one of the most common complications and causes of death in patients with Alcohol-related Liver Disease. This narrative review will focus on several aspects of sepsis in the context of Alcohol-related Liver Disease. The pathophysiology of the increased susceptibility to infections consists mainly of impaired innate and adaptive immunity, changes in gut microbiota with consequent gut translocation of bacteria due to both alcohol abuse and the underlying liver disease. The diagnosis of sepsis in the context of Alcohol-related Liver Disease is challenging. Moreover, the use of classical acute-phase serum proteins (e.g., C-reactive protein and procalcitonin) has several limitations in this setting. The early administration of an adequate antibiotic treatment is pivotal. Finally, measures of infection control and prevention are needed because the prognosis of sepsis in patients affected by Alcohol-related Liver Disease is poor
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
