L'itinerarium cuiusdam anglici 1344-1345

ItL'Itinerarium cuiusdam Anglici è un diario di pellegrinaggio datato intorno al 1344-45, scritto da un anonimo pellegrino inglese redatto in latino medievale. Narra il viaggio dalla sua patria sino a Gerusalemme così come il ritorno. Fu pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1923 da Fra Girolamo Gulobovich. Edito per la seconda volta nel 2010 da Mariana Cocciolo con la collaborazione del sottoscritto. Nella presente trattazione è stata presa in analisi la tappa romana del pellegrino che più si confà alla giornata mondiale della lingua latina in quanto Roma è la sede della Romanità.EnThe Itinerarium cuiusdam Anglici is a Christian itinerarium datated around 1344-1345. It was written by an anonymous pilgrim from england. It recounts the writer's journey throughout the europe to the Holy land. The itinerarium survives in the manuscript MS370 kept in the library of Corpus Christi College in Cambridge. It was edited for the first time in 1923 by fr. Girolamo Golubovich in the Franciscans Bio-bibliography of the Holy Land. the second publication was in 2010 by Mariana Cocciolo with my help. In the following dissertation I have chosen to present the Roman stage of the pilgrim because I believe it is more suited to the international Latin language day

Global attitudes in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 pandemic: ACIE Appy Study

Background: Surgical strategies are being adapted to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations on the management of acute appendicitis have been based on expert opinion, but very little evidence is available. This study addressed that dearth with a snapshot of worldwide approaches to appendicitis. Methods: The Association of Italian Surgeons in Europe designed an online survey to assess the current attitude of surgeons globally regarding the management of patients with acute appendicitis during the pandemic. Questions were divided into baseline information, hospital organization and screening, personal protective equipment, management and surgical approach, and patient presentation before versus during the pandemic. Results: Of 744 answers, 709 (from 66 countries) were complete and were included in the analysis. Most hospitals were treating both patients with and those without COVID. There was variation in screening indications and modality used, with chest X-ray plus molecular testing (PCR) being the commonest (19\ub78 per cent). Conservative management of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis was used by 6\ub76 and 2\ub74 per cent respectively before, but 23\ub77 and 5\ub73 per cent, during the pandemic (both P < 0\ub7001). One-third changed their approach from laparoscopic to open surgery owing to the popular (but evidence-lacking) advice from expert groups during the initial phase of the pandemic. No agreement on how to filter surgical smoke plume during laparoscopy was identified. There was an overall reduction in the number of patients admitted with appendicitis and one-third felt that patients who did present had more severe appendicitis than they usually observe. Conclusion: Conservative management of mild appendicitis has been possible during the pandemic. The fact that some surgeons switched to open appendicectomy may reflect the poor guidelines that emanated in the early phase of SARS-CoV-2
