Case Study: The analysis of an integrated project management.

Textile is still considered as special waste, and in the Metropolitan Area of Turin 4.960 tons (Città Metropolitana di Torino, 2020) of it are collected every year. This aspect, among others, is one of the challenges that this territory is confronting. The research paper has the aim to show the results that emerged from the state of the art of a specific area in Italy. These data are then confronted with information about a local company, Dual Sanitaly, that produces and distributes textile medical devices throughout Italy. The analysis is the starting point of a shift from a linear to a systemic process. The application of the holistic approach helped to focus both on the aspects that define both physically and socially the Metropolitan Area of Turin and on the flows of energy, matter and information of the company. The collection of data follows a path that goes from macro to micro and from a generic point of view to specific topics and aspects. The ultimate goal is to have a solid base from which to identify challenges and opportunities, both in the territory and in the company, to understand which elements are fundamental to create a systemic pattern of people, projects and stories

Misidentification of Streptococcus uberis as a human pathogen: a case report and literature review.

Summary Streptococcus uberis is an environmental bacterium responsible for bovine mastitis. It is occasionally described as a human pathogen, though in most cases the identification was based on biochemical phenotyping techniques. This report shows that the biochemical phenotyping may incorrectly identify Enterococcus faecium as S. uberis

Involvement of the nerve fibers in the human skin neurofibromatosis

Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a well known disease of the human skin. Its microscopic and ultramicroscopic features are also well defined. Aim: The aim of this work was to study the involvement of catecholaminergic nerve fibers in the human skin neurofibromatosis. Bioptic fragments of the human skin have been harvested from healthy and diseased subjects. On these specimens the following analysis were performed: 1) light microscopic observation after colouring with hematoxyline-Eosine. 2) Immunochemical staining for Protein Gene Product 9.5. 3) Fluorescent staining for catecholaminergic nerve fibers. 4) Quantitative analysis of images by means of the Quantimet analyzer Leica. 5) Statistical analysis of the quantitative morphological data comparing the healthy with diseased subjects. Comparing the light microscopy images in normal and pathological subjects the authors can affirm that the skin neurofibromatosis induces a strong decrease of the nerve fibers cutted in small pieces and destroyed. Also the catecholaminergic nerve fibers are strongly reduced and destroyed. Quantitative analysis of images and statistical analysis of the morphological data confirm that neurofibromatosis induces strong changes of the skin nerve fibers. The authors' results confirm that the neurofibromatosis type 2 induces an almost total destruction of the skin nerve fibers
