The COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-19) is the most urgent health emergency worldwide and all professionals are called to give support in diagnosis treatment of patients affected by this disease. Scientific Society Hospital Legal Medicine National Health System (COMLAS) Italian Anatomical Pathology Cytology (SIAPEC) produced document with intent offering a technical professional involved autoptic activities during Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic infection.
Episodes of direct violence against healthcare workers and social represent a worrying widespread phenomenon in Western countries. These violent attacks, whether verbal or physical, occur various work environments, targeting professionals working private facilities, medical practices, those employed within the National Health System facilities. We conducted search using single engine (PubMed) terms "violence AND Western" for period 2003-2023, identifying 45 results to which we added...
Pulmonary hemorrhage is a pathological condition characterized by bleeding within the lung parenchyma, ranging from localized microbleeds to extensive hemorrhagic events that significantly compromise respiratory function. The etiology of pulmonary encompasses multiple clinical and forensic contexts. For pathologists, most significant hemorrhages occur in cases involving traumatic incidents, asphyxiation, narcotic substance use resuscitation procedures. This study aims analyze...
The first act of assisted suicide in Italy was recently carried out. This event is an absolute novelty for the country, affected by recent legislative changes aimed only at introducing right to interrupt health treatments and, therefore, carry out exclusively omissive end-of-life acts. These normative provisions lay their foundations a cultural context centered on protection life and health; however, cases that have occurred over time, including famous story DJ Fabo, led Constitutional Court...
The concept of damages for loss chance originated in France 1877 and was adapted to healthcare 1962. In Italy, it first introduced liability 2004, with Civil Court Cassation decision No. 4400. Italian jurisprudence recognizes the as an independent, legally economically assessable damage, distinct from actual outcome lost. landmark St. Martin Judgments 2019 further established that such can be claimed if they involve appreciable, serious, consistent values. This requires proving a causal link...
Background and Objectives: This study aims to contribute the definition of defensive medicine phenomenon between obstetricians gynecologists, as well possible effects on frequency deliveries performed by cesarean sections (CS). Materials Methods: a digital questionnaire was administered through mail-list including 600 gynecological specialists (of these 168 doctors completed test), both in public private settings. It made twenty multiple choice questions, concerning their awareness about...
To date, the genes associated with susceptibility to Atopic Eczema (AE) are mainly implicated in immunity, inflammation, and maintenance of skin barrier. Little is known about possible relationship between modulating Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM) AE etiopathogenesis. In this regard, primary objective present study has been investigation biomarkers localized within encoding collagen proteins. Several studies have shown that polymorphisms such proteins may generate abnormal connective tissues,...
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a neuromuscular disorder which typically transmitted by an autosomal dominant pattern, although reduced penetrance and sporadic cases caused de novo mutations, are often observed. FSHD may be contraction of repetitive element, located on chromosome 4 (4q35). This locus named D4Z4 consists 11 to more than 100 repeated units (RU). The normally hypermethylated the genes this silenced. In case FSHD, region characterized 1-10 repeats results in...
Abstract Rationale: Although the cancer incidence continues to rise, mortality has declined over past decade, in large part due more efficacious chemotherapeutic regimens thus, ability use first-line agents treatment of patients with is crucial. Antineoplastic can potentially cause toxic and/or hypersensitivity reactions, that have serious consequences. Anaphylaxis a big pitfall oncological patients; most important aspect diagnosing anaphylaxis precisely identify offending agent prevent...
The freedom-restraining measures used during Involuntary Health Treatment (IHT) are highly criticized in the medical community. Physical restraint techniques currently largely worldwide Psychiatry. use of restraints against patient's will can be considered a serious intrusion basic human rights and even an act violence patient. In all cases, should not lead to injuries or damage health implemented with respect dignity. Generally, as last resource, when other methods have failed. Since it...
Spinal Epidural Abscess (SEA) is a rare pyogenic infection localized between dura mater and vertebral periostium. The development of SEA associated with the presence medical co-morbidities risk factors that facilitate bacterial dissemination. It possible distinguish two type SEA: primary due to pathogen hematogenous dissemination secondary resulting from direct inoculation pathogen. This entity, very uncommon, shows prevalence peak 5th 7th decade life predominance in males. case 44 years old...
The Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD) carrier screening includes the evaluation of mutations in DMD gene, and most widely used analysis is multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for deletions/duplications detection. high frequency de novo permits to estimate a risk up 20% mosaicisms mothers sporadic children. purpose this study evaluate alternative analytical strategy detection mosaics women, order improve recurrence estimation.Different DNA RNA analyses were...
The term sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) is not always properly invoked. It refers to a broad range of conditions that sometimes defy classification. There only strong emotional impact on the family, but such cases are also quite complex. Underlying causes may be multiple, readily apparent, and have potential repercussions, especially in terms forensics.A 5-month-old male baby was pronounced dead following acute lung failure cardiopulmonary arrest. parents had immediately rushed their...
Gender incongruence is a current issue with implications in the legislative, social, and healthcare fields. In this context, misinformation is, at present, main enemy of transgender rights equity. Over time, scientific community has worked to reclassify condition, removing it from psychiatric diagnoses. The method our work involved investigating comparing different social legislative measures adopted by various countries ensure equality individuals gender incongruence. result showed that...
The right to live with dignity during the final stages of existence, enshrined in national and supranational Charters Rights, represents a significant step towards humanizing medicine is integral health. Palliative Care, rooted health, dignity, therapeutic self-determination, has emerged as fundamental human moral imperative within health systems. It seeks alleviate suffering, emphasizing holistic well-being patients life-limiting illnesses. This paper provides comprehensive global...
Malignant hyperthermia manifests clinically as a hypermetabolic crisis when malignant hyperthermia-susceptible individual is exposed to volatile anesthetic such halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, sevoflurane, or desflurane depolarizing muscular blockers succinylcholine. The condition shows autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance, and mostly associated mutations resulting in abnormal ryanodine receptor type 1 or, more rarely, dihydropyridine receptors. Exposure triggering agents...
