This book brings together studies produced during the implementation of the MIUR-PRIN 2005/2007 inter-university project on 'The individual in domestic and community legislation: new models for protection and management of environmental and genotoxic risks'. The managers of the working groups organised itinerant study days in Messina, Florence and Rome, also with a view to in-the-field verification of different experiences and realities. Within the framework of interdisciplinary liaison, the important contributions made by eminent scholars have enabled the in-depth study at legal and medical level of the most appropriate tools for guaranteeing preventive and restrictive mechanisms in relation to protection from the damage of potentially genotoxic environmental, occupational or individual factors. This is the most recent approach to the new code of the environment, utilising the principle of precaution which is intended to induce the jurist and the medical scientist to discern profiles of continuity and discontinuity in the promotion and protection of individual values.

Botanico, zoologo, esploratore, antropologo: a cavallo tra la seconda metà del XIX secolo e i primi decenni del XX Odoardo Beccari fu tutto questo e altro ancora. La sua fama è tuttora legata soprattutto alle spedizioni scientifiche nel Sud-Est asiatico, in particolare in Borneo, e ai lavori sulle Palme, ma anche alla sua abilità di disegnatore e di fotografo. Il materiale conservato nel suo archivio personale è di fondamentale importanza per ricostruire tanto il percorso scientifico dello studioso quanto le vicende personali dell'uomo. Questo inventario permette finalmente di orientarsi e muoversi con sicurezza in una mole documentaria notevole per quantità e varietà tipologica: corrispondenza, appunti e materiali preparatori, manoscritti in molteplici redazioni, taccuini di viaggio, schizzi cartografici, disegni e fotografie.

Le malattie cardiovascolari rappresentano attualmente la causa principale di mortalità e, oltre a modificare sensibilmente la qualità della vita, comportano un notevole impegno economico per la società. Poiché la maggior parte degli eventi coronarici si verifica per la complicanza di una placca aterosclerotica parietale non stenosante, il suo riconoscimento può assumere rilevante significato clinico ed essere di interesse nella scelta di un trattamento medico o interventistico. Attraverso l’utilizzo di apparecchiature sempre più sensibili e veloci, oggi la TC coronarica ci consente, finalmente, di visualizzare la lesione responsabile delle sindromi coronariche acute e di caratterizzarla. La conoscenza delle apparecchiature, la valutazione dei loro limiti e l’adeguata preparazione del paziente, rappresentano passaggi importanti per l’ottenimento di immagini adeguate dal punto di vista diagnostico. L’opera nasce dalla volontà di fornire al cardiologo o al medico non esperto di imaging le basi per comprendere principi tecnici e modalità di acquisizione e di ricostruzione delle immagini. Allo stesso tempo anche il radiologo che non abbia esperienze specifiche di imaging cardiaco potrà acquisire conoscenze di base di anatomia e fisiopatologia delle coronarie.

Recenti progressi tecnologici hanno favorito la diffusione della PET-TC, una metodica di indagine che permette di evidenziare gli aspetti morfologici e funzionali delle neoplasie e che è spesso risolutiva nel percorso diagnostico e terapeutico del paziente. L’edizione originale inglese del volume è stata ampliata con due capitoli - sui traccianti PET di uso emergente e sulla dosimetria - e un utile glossario, al fine di presentare in modo conciso e esaustivo i diversi aspetti della metodica. Dalla Presentazione di Diana Salvo: "Il volume rappresenta un approccio completo alle tematiche PET e PET-TC in campo oncologico. È un’introduzione "per tutti", semplice, di facile comprensione.... In questo volume tutti possono ritrovare le notizie e le informazioni che sono indispensabili a comprendere le basi fisiologiche e i meccanismi fisio-patologici che stanno alla base della PET, le caratteristiche tecniche delle macchine impiegate e infine le potenzialità e i limiti della metodica." PET-TC nella pratica clinica si propone pertanto come utile strumento per studenti, specializzandi in radiologia, medicina nucleare e oncologia, nonché per medici esterni alla medicina nucleare, quali potenziali prescrittori di tale indagine.

Three Tuscan doctors, and three intriguing professional histories. The inventory of the papers of Pietro Betti, Carlo Burci and Vincenzio Chiarugi has made available an important archive heritage, which goes to supplement the partial knowledge deriving from the biographies and works of these figures who represented the bridge between the enlightened and revolutionary eighteenth century and the following century, taut between the claims of science and political and social influences. A great season for Medicine and Surgery is revisited through the voices of three important exponents of this period of knowledge and action, of a commitment – that is also contemporary – to care, to teaching and to research.
