Giovanni Manna e la storia del Foro Napoletano
No full textNell'età della Restaurazione, la scelta del governo borbonico di conservare i codici, introdotti nel decennio francese (fatte salve le modifiche imposte dal nuovo corso), ha sottratto alle magistrature e all'avvocatura la gestione del processo. Manna ricostruisce la storia della giurisprudenza napoletana, all'interno di una prospettiva, che intendeva restituire all'ordine forense, la centralità politica e istituzionale (e non solo il decoro sociale), che gli 'competeva'

No full textThe aim of the study was to evaluate flexible flatfoot (FFF) diagnostic and current therapeutic modalities, as well as treatment expectations, among members of the European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society (EPOS). A 59-questions survey on FFF diagnosis and treatment preferences was distributed to EPOS members. The survey consisted of six sections (1) general clinical parameters; (2) foot aspects; (3) X-ray angles (or lines); (4) expectations; (5) standard clinical assessment; and (6) management options. Descriptive statistics were performed. A total of 93 responses were analysed. In general, clinical parameters, age (91.4% of cases), laxity (81.7%), diffuse pain (84.9%), and pain at the ankle joint (81.7%) were rated as 'average' and 'crucial importance' by the vast majority of respondents. Meary's angle (47.3% of cases), talonavicular coverage (35.5%), and lateral talocalcaneal angle (35.5%) were assessed as main radiological tools in the FFF evaluation. Among respondents, 61.3% rated 'improved ability to walk longer without symptoms' as of 'crucial importance'. Eighty-two percent of the respondents felt less than 10% of patients with FFF are candidates for corrective surgery. Arthroereisis (29.3%) was the most common surgical procedure (16.4% for subtalar and 12.9% for extra-articular arthroereisis, respectively), followed by lateral column lengthening (17.9%) and medializing calcaneal osteotomy (12.3%). There is great variation among respondents in diagnostic and treatment preferences in the management of children with FFF. The results of the EPOS 2019 FFF survey clearly show that large-scale, multicentric, international studies are necessary to elucidate which diagnostic and treatment practices lead to the best outcomes.

Considerazioni sui risultati funzionali delle anastomosi colorettali e coloanali con e senza pouch
No full textIn the last two decades one of the main targets of anorectocolonic surgery has been to develop sphincter saving procedure able to achieve good results with acceptable five-years survivals, optimal local control of the diseases and low rate of local cancer recurrence. Partially the development of new operative techniques such as low colorectal and coloanal anastomoses with or without pouch, the TME operation and the nerve sparing procedure have reach this target. In fact, often after these operations we can observe a functional syndrome called "Post Anterior Resection Syndrome". The basis of this syndrome have to researched in anatomical and physiological alterations that followed a reconstructive operation. It is characterized by frequency and fragmentation of the stool, feeling of incomplete evacuation, tenesmus and urgency. Fecal continence may be compromised to different levels: usually with alteration limited to soiling and impaired control of flatus, occasionally with loss of liquid stool, rarely with loss of solid stools. The anorectal function will be altered for long time following the surgical procedure and the stabilization of functional results may require 1-3 years. On the basis of these considerations, the authors examine the etiopathogenesis and clinical presentation of the "Post Anterior Resection Syndrome", suggesting some expedients to prevent the functional problems. Analysing our experience and a wide specific bibliography, they also underline the indispensable point to achieve a good functional results after a reconstructive procedure. The author conclude asserting that the absence of these points have to be carefully valued because, in these situations, a simply colostomy is able to guarantee a better quality of life that a colorectal/coloanal anastomoses with or without pouch but associated to functional problems

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Study of efficacy of miltefosine and allopurinol in dogs with leishmaniosis.
No full textVisceral leishmaniosis is a life-threatening disease of medical, social and economic importance in endemic areas. It is an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients, including human immunodeficiency virus-positive subjects. Dogs are the main reservoir of Leishmania infantum. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of miltefosine and allopurinol for the control of human leishmaniosis using the dog as a model. The study included 28 sick dogs treated with miltefosine (2 mg/kg/day PO) administered concurrently with allopurinol (10 mg/kg/day, PO) for 30 days, and then with allopurinol alone, at the same dosage, for 1 year. Eight dogs (four of which relapsed) received a second cycle of miltefosine within 6 months of the first cycle. Efficacy was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction assay on whole blood samples and lymph node aspirates, collected at baseline and every 3 months for 12 months. Of the total number of animals (28), two showed renal insufficiency and died after the start of therapy with miltefosine. Two other dogs presented some side effects to treatment, such as nausea, vomiting and reduction in white and red blood cell counts, and these animals were excluded from the follow-up. The results showed that the first cycle of therapy with miltefosine and allopurinol induced a drastic and progressive reduction of L. infantum load in lymph node aspirates but the second cycle did not eliminate the parasite
