Bilder der Macht. Das griechische Porträt und seine Verwendung in der antiken Welt

Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen, wie Formen und Möglichkeiten des griechischen Porträts außerhalb des Kulturraums, in dem sie zunächst entstanden waren, aufgenommen und für die Zwecke und Anliegen von lokalen Eliten eingesetzt worden sind. Die Gattung der Porträtstatuen erfüllte in Griechenland zentrale gesellschaftliche Aufgaben. Seit dem späten 5. Jh. v. Chr. haben auch andere Gesellschaften die Mög- lichkeiten des Porträts für eigene Zwecke übernommen. Das gilt für Mittelitalien ebenso wie für Zypern und die westlichen Randgebiete des Perserreiches. Die Expan- sion des hellenistischen Kulturraums seit Alexander dem Großen machte auch die Länder Mittelasiens mit den Möglichkeiten des Porträts bekannt und führte dazu, das entsprechende Phänomene eine weite Verbrei- tung fanden. Später war es vor allem und in besonderem Maße Rom, das die Bildniskunst instrumentalisierte und für ihre weiträumige Verbreitung sorgte

How future surgery will benefit from SARS-COV-2-related measures: a SPIGC survey conveying the perspective of Italian surgeons

COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in surgical activity and potential benefit from COVID-19 measures in perspective of Italian surgeons on behalf of SPIGC. A nationwide online survey on surgical practice before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic was conducted in March-April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects of COVID-19 hospital-related measures on surgical patients' management and personal professional development across surgical specialties were explored. Data on demographics, pre-operative/peri-operative/post-operative management, and professional development were collected. Outcomes were matched with the corresponding volume. Four hundred and seventy-three respondents were included in final analysis across 14 surgical specialties. Since SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, application of telematic consultations (4.1% vs. 21.6%; p < 0.0001) and diagnostic evaluations (16.4% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.0001) increased. Elective surgical activities significantly reduced and surgeons opted more frequently for conservative management with a possible indication for elective (26.3% vs. 35.7%; p < 0.0001) or urgent (20.4% vs. 38.5%; p < 0.0001) surgery. All new COVID-related measures are perceived to be maintained in the future. Surgeons' personal education online increased from 12.6% (pre-COVID) to 86.6% (post-COVID; p < 0.0001). Online educational activities are considered a beneficial effect from COVID pandemic (56.4%). COVID-19 had a great impact on surgical specialties, with significant reduction of operation volume. However, some forced changes turned out to be benefits. Isolation measures pushed the use of telemedicine and telemetric devices for outpatient practice and favored communication for educational purposes and surgeon-patient/family communication. From the Italian surgeons' perspective, COVID-related measures will continue to influence future surgical clinical practice

Evolving trends in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 waves. The ACIE appy II study

Background: In 2020, ACIE Appy study showed that COVID-19 pandemic heavily affected the management of patients with acute appendicitis (AA) worldwide, with an increased rate of non-operative management (NOM) strategies and a trend toward open surgery due to concern of virus transmission by laparoscopy and controversial recommendations on this issue. The aim of this study was to survey again the same group of surgeons to assess if any difference in management attitudes of AA had occurred in the later stages of the outbreak. Methods: From August 15 to September 30, 2021, an online questionnaire was sent to all 709 participants of the ACIE Appy study. The questionnaire included questions on personal protective equipment (PPE), local policies and screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection, NOM, surgical approach and disease presentations in 2021. The results were compared with the results from the previous study. Results: A total of 476 answers were collected (response rate 67.1%). Screening policies were significatively improved with most patients screened regardless of symptoms (89.5% vs. 37.4%) with PCR and antigenic test as the preferred test (74.1% vs. 26.3%). More patients tested positive before surgery and commercial systems were the preferred ones to filter smoke plumes during laparoscopy. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was the first option in the treatment of AA, with a declined use of NOM. Conclusion: Management of AA has improved in the last waves of pandemic. Increased evidence regarding SARS-COV-2 infection along with a timely healthcare systems response has been translated into tailored attitudes and a better care for patients with AA worldwide

Il drop-out in psicoterapia. Grounded Theory e ricerca qualitativa

La ricerca presentata in questo volume approfondisce una tematica poco analizzata in ambito psicoterapeutico e di ricerca: il drop-out, condizione che si verifica nel momento in cui il percorso psicoterapeutico si interrompe per motivazioni legate sia al paziente che al professionista. L’obiettivo di tale ricerca è duplice: da una parte analizzare la concettualizzazione scientifica e accademica del concetto di drop-out, procedendo alla stesura di un dizionario di termini condiviso; dall’altra individuare le dinamiche della relazione psicoterapeutica tra paziente e professionista al fine di comprendere i fattori che caratterizzano il drop-out
