Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common vasculitis in childhood. To the authors' knowledge, only one case of juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE)-like onset mimicking KD and another case of KD and JSLE association have previously been described. However, the prevalence of this association of the two diseases was not reported. Therefore, over 27 consecutive years, 5419 patients were followed at the Pediatric Rheumatology Unit and 271 (5%) of them met the ACR classification criteria for JSLE. Two (0.7%) of them were female. These also had KD according to European League against Rheumatism / Paediatric Rheumatology European Society (EULAR/PReS) consensus criteria and are described in this report. One case was a 13-year-old who presented all six KD criteria. Echocardiogram showed pericardial effusion, dilatation and tortuosity of right and left coronary, and her symptoms promptly improved after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Lupus diagnosis was established a few days later. Another case was a 4-year-old who had also met all six KD criteria, with improvement after IVIG, and lupus diagnosis was made 1 year later. In conclusion, the frequency of the association between these two autoimmune diseases was rare. The occurrence of a second autoimmune systemic disease in a patient with a history of KD should also be considered. Furthermore, the initial presentation of lupus may mimic KD.

Justificativa e objetivos: As ligas acadêmicas vêm se firmando como instrumentos de ensino médico e inserção dos estudantes de medicina na prática das especialidades, inclusive na anestesiologia. Como o papel das ligas no processo de desenvolvimento de competências e aprendizado de seus alunos não é bem conhecido, avaliou-se o aprendizado dos integrantes de uma liga acadêmica de anestesiologia após um ano de participação nas suas atividades. MÉTODO: Os alunos de uma liga acadêmica de anestesiologia foram acompanhados de março a dezembro de 2010 e avaliados por meio de testes cognitivos objetivos de múltipla escolha aplicados antes do início das atividades e após sua conclusão. A frequência nas atividades e o perfil epidemiológico dos alunos foram correlacionados aos resultados dos testes. RESULTADOS: Foram analisados 20 acadêmicos do 3º ao 6º ano, com média de idade de 22,8 (21-26) anos. A frequência média nas atividades propostas foi 10,4/13 (80%). A média de acertos no primeiro teste foi 8,1/17 (47,6%), sendo que os alunos do 3º ano apresentam notas menores (p < 0,02) em relação aos demais. No teste pós-liga, a média de acertos foi 11,9/17 (70%), mostrando melhora no desempenho dos alunos (p < 0,05), e não houve diferença entre as notas dos diferentes anos da graduação. Foi encontrada relação forte entre frequência nas atividades e melhora nas notas (r = 0,719; p < 0,001). CONCLUSÕES: Os alunos que participaram da liga apresentaram melhora nos testes de avaliação de conhecimento, sugerindo que a liga é útil instrumento de ensino e promove ganho de aprendizado em anestesiologia. As atividades desenvolvidas nas ligas podem ter papel positivo na formação acadêmica dos graduandos, destacando-se, neste artigo, a anestesiologia.

My research focuses on the mentality of catholic entrepreneurs and managers in Italy between the 1930's and the 1950's. The main source of my study is the archive of an organization called Unione Cristiana Imprenditori Dirigenti [Christian Entrepreneurs and Managers Association], which was founded in Milan in 1945 with the pedagogic intent to foster higher moral standards and social responsibility in the milieux of catholic entrepreneurs, in the spirit of the Social Doctrine of the Church. This experience was set in the social and political context of the Italian post-war years, but it was also rooted in the debate – started during the 1930s - on the rise of a new catholic leadership in society.

La ricerca riguarda l’inclusione di dichiarazioni di diritti e principi introdotte negli Statuti di autonomia delle Regioni italiane e delle Comunità Autonome spagnole riformati negli ultimi anni. La tesi consta, oltre che nell’introduzione dei concetti preliminari, di due parti per ognuno dei Paesi nelle quali si esaminano i sistemi regionali e concretamente queste carte di diritti e principi. La terza parte raccoglie un’analisi comparativa di ambedue gli Stati. Il problema dell’efficacia di questi diritti e principi rappresenta la chiave fondamentale. In questo senso, la Giurisprudenza costituzionale risulta essere basilare per lo studio delle differenti risposte alle novità dei diversi elenchi di diritti e principi a livello regionale. Mentre la Corte Costituzionale italiana ha negato la loro efficacia giuridica, anche come norme programmatiche assimilabili a quelle costituzionali, il Tribunale Costituzionale spagnolo ha qualificato un nuovo tipo di diritto, i c. d. diritti statutari, che non sono diritti pubblici soggettivi ma mandati ai poteri pubblici autonomici, specialmente al legislatore autonomico. Lo studio si completa con la problematica dell’uguaglianza e la garanzia dei diritti e i principi in questi Stati composti.

La trattazione cerca di delineare i confini teorici ed applicativi dell’istituto dell’interpretazione autentica, nella chiara consapevolezza che dietro tale tematica si celi il più complesso problema di una corretta delimitazione tra attività di legis-latio e attività di legis-executio. Il fenomeno delle leggi interpretative costituisce infatti nodo nevralgico e punto di intersezione di tre ambiti materiali distinti, ossia la teoria dell’interpretazione, la teoria delle fonti del diritto e la dottrina di matrice liberale della separazione dei poteri. All’interno del nostro ordinamento, nell’epoca più recente, si è assistito ad un aumento esponenziale di interventi legislativi interpretativi che, allo stato attuale, sono utilizzati per lo più come strumenti di legislazione ordinaria. Sotto questo profilo, il sempre più frequente ricorso alla fonte interpretativa può essere inquadrato nel più complesso fenomeno della “crisi della legge” i cui tradizionali requisiti di generalità, astrattezza ed irretroattività sono stati progressivamente abbandonati dal legislatore parallelamente con l’affermarsi dello Stato costituzionale. L’abuso dello strumento interpretativo da parte del legislatore, gravemente lesivo delle posizioni giuridiche soggettive, non è stato finora efficacemente contrastato all’interno dell’ordinamento nonostante l’elaborazione da parte della Corte costituzionale di una serie di limiti e requisiti di legittimità dell’esegesi legislativa. In tale prospettiva, diventano quindi di rilevanza fondamentale la ricerca e l’esame di strategie e rimedi, giurisdizionali ed istituzionali, tali da arginare l’“onnipotenza” del legislatore interprete. A seguito dell’analisi svolta, è maturata la consapevolezza delle potenzialità insite nella valorizzazione della giurisprudenza della Corte Edu, maggiormente incline a sanzionare l’abuso delle leggi interpretative.

La ricerca oggetto della tesi riguarda la disamina delle esperienze comunitarie e nazionali in Europa in materia di elusione IVA ed antielusione IVA, al fine di esaminare le utilizzabili esperienze in materia per la Cina che dovrebbe iniziare a prendere le giuste azioni per fronteggiare il problema della crescente diffusione dei fenomeni dell’elusione IVA, in particolare nel contesto della riforma perdurante dell’IVA cinese verso il modello moderno. A questo fine, prima la tesi ha analizzato dettagliatamente le seguenti principali questioni sulla base delle esperienze comunitarie e nazionali dei determinati Stati Membri dell’UE: la definizione dell’elusione fiscale generale (a tale proposito, più rilevanti le differenze tra elusione fiscale ed altri relativi concetti come risparmio d’imposta, evasione fiscale e simulazione e la relazione intrinseca tra elusione fiscale ed altri relativi concetti come frode alla legge ed abuso del diritto), la definizione dell’elusione IVA (a tale proposito, più rilevanti gli aspetti di particolare interesse ai fini della definizione dell’elusione IVA), i principi e metodologie dell’elusione IVA, le applicazioni delle varie misure antielusive rivolte all’elusione IVA nell’ordinamento comunitario e negli ordinamenti interni degli alcuni principali Stati Membri dell’UE (a tale proposito, più rilevanti l’applicazone del principio Halifax, quale norma antielusiva generale basata sul principio di divieto dell’abuso del diritto, e la considerazione delle altre soluzioni antielusive applicabili nell’IVA, comprese correzioni normative e clausole antielusive specifiche), gli effetti dell’antielusione IVA e i limiti entro cui l’autorità impositiva può esercitare l’antielusione IVA per la tutela degli interessi legittimi dei soggetti passivi come certezza giuridica ed autonomia contrattuale. Poi, la tesi ha avanzato le proposte relative al perfezionamento delle soluzioni antielusive IVA nell’ordinamento tributario cinese, dopo presentati i principali regimi attuali dell’IVA cinese e analizzate le situazioni attuali realtive all’elusione IVA e all’antielusione IVA nel sistema fiscale cinese.

In questo lavoro ci siamo posti come obiettivo lo studio della disfunzione atrio-ventricolare mediante tecniche ecocardiografiche avanzate (come il Tissue Doppler Imaging - TDI) in cani affetti da malattia mitralica cronica (MVD). Una prima parte è volta alla valutazione della funzionalità diastolica del ventricolo destro. Ci siamo proposti di analizzare la funzione del ventricolo destro in cani affetti da malattia del cuore sinistro per comprendere se quest’ultima possa condizionare direttamente la performance del settore cardiaco controlaterale. I risultati più importanti che abbiamo riscontrato sono: l’assenza di differenze significative nella disfunzione sisto-diastolica del ventricolo destro in cani con MVD a diverso stadio; la diretta correlazione tra le variabili TDI di funzionalità del ventricolo destro con il grado di disfunzione del ventricolo sinistro, come indicatori di interdipendenza ventricolare; ed infine il riscontro di una maggior tendenza ad alterazioni diastoliche del ventricolo sinistro in cani con ipertensione polmonare. A quest’ultimo proposito, per quanto riguarda le variabili TDI, il rapporto E/e’ dell’anulus mitralico laterale e settale è risultato avere una differenza significativa tra i cani con ipertensione polmonare e quelli privi di ipertensione polmonare (P<0,01). Nel secondo studio abbiamo applicato il TDI per l’analisi della funzione sisto-diastolica dell’atrio sinistro. Il lavoro è stato articolato in una parte di validazione della metodica su cani normali ed una su animali affetti da MDV. I risultati ottenuti mostrano che la valutazione ecocardiografica delle proprietà di deformazione dell’atrio sinistro basata sul TDI è attuabile e riproducibile nel cane. Abbiamo fornito dei valori di normalità per questa specie e confrontato questi dati con quelli ricavati in cani portatori di MVD. Le differenza tra le varie classi di malattia, nei diversi gradi di dilatazione atriale, sono risultate limitate, ma abbiamo individuato delle correlazioni tra i parametri TDI ed alcune variabili di funzionalità atriale.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird analysiert, ob die neue italienische Partei MoVimento 5 Stelle (M5S) eine rechtspopulistische Partei ist. Darüber hinaus wird mithilfe eines Vergleichs mit Berlusconis Partei Popolo della libertà (PDL) erörtert, ob das M5S den italienischen Rechtspopulismus fortführt. Das M5S wurde im Jahre 2009 von dem italienischen Komiker Beppe Grillo gegründet und zog nach seiner ersten Teilnahme an nationalen Wahlen im Jahre 2013 als zweitstärkste Partei in das italienische Parlament ein. Mit seiner Anti-Establishment-Programmatik und der Ablehnung der etablierten Parteien ähnelt das M5S nicht nur Berlusconis Partei PDL, sondern auch den rechtspopulistischen Parteien, die seit den 1980er Jahren in Westeuropa beständig an Relevanz gewonnen haben. Diese Parteien polemisieren gegen Politiker und Parteien, stellen die Legitimität von Minderheitenrechten und die Prinzipien der repräsentativen Demokratie in Frage. Organisatorisch gruppieren sie sich um einen charismatischen Anführer, dessen Anspruch es ist, die ‚Stimme des Volkes‘ zu repräsentieren. Diese und andere zentrale Charakteristika sind Gegenstand des theoretischen Teils dieser Arbeit. Die Analysedimension sind ‚Programmatik‘ und ‚Organisation‘. Die letztgenannte Kategorie wird in ‚interne Organisationsstruktur‘ und ‚Kommunikation‘ unterteilt. Die Basis der Analyse bilden Parteidokumente (Wahl- und Parteiprogramme, Parteistatuten, Blogeinträge), Experteneinschätzungen und die Forschungsliteratur. Die Untersuchung kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass es sich beim M5S nicht um eine rechtspopulistische, sondern um eine populistische Partei mit linken Elementen handelt. Den italienischen Rechtspopulismus, wie ihn Berlusconis Partei pflegt, führt sie folglich nicht fort. Sie zeigt in der Organisation starke Parallelen, da beide Parteien von ihren Anführern dominiert werden. Aber das M5S hat eine stark web-basierte Organisationsform und vertritt Umweltthemen, was keine typischen Merkmale rechtspopulistischer Parteien sind. Darüber hinaus vertritt es keine nationalistischen Position, was hingegen konstitutiv für Rechtspopulismus ist.

This study is based on a former student’s work, aimed at examining the influence of handedness on conference interpreting. In simultaneous interpreting (IS) both cerebral hemispheres participate in the decoding of the incoming message and in the activation of the motor functions for the production of the output signal. In right-handers language functions are mainly located in the left hemisphere, while left-handers have a more symmetrical representation of language functions. Given that with the development of interpreting skills and a long work experience the interpreters’ brain becomes less lateralized for language functions, in an initial phase left-handers may be «neurobiologically better suited for interpreting tasks» (Gran and Fabbro 1988: 37). To test this hypothesis, 9 students (5 right-handers and 4 left-handers) participated in a dual test of simultaneous and consecutive interpretation (CI) from English into Italian. The subjects were asked to interpret one text with their preferred ear and the other with the non-preferred one, since according neuropsychology aural symmetry reflects cerebral symmetry. The aim of this study was to analyze:1) the differences between the number of errors in consecutive and simultaneous interpretation with the preferred and non-preferred ear; 2) the differences in performance (in terms of number of errors) between right-handed and left-handed, both with the preferred and non-preferred ear; 3) the most frequent types of errors in right and left-handers; 4) the influence of the degree of handedness on interpreting quality. The students’ performances were analyzed in terms of errors of meaning, errors of numbers, omissions of text, omissions of numbers, inaccuracies, errors of nexus, and unfinished sentences. The results showed that: 1) in SI subjects committed fewer errors interpreting with the preferred ear, whereas in CI a slight advantage of the non-preferred ear was observed. Moreover, in CI, right-handers committed fewer mistakes with the non-preferred ear than with the preferred one. 2) The total performance of left-handers proved to be better than that of right-handers. 3) In SI left-handers committed fewer errors of meaning and fewer errors of number than right-handers, whereas in CI left-handers committed fewer errors of meaning and more errors of number than right-handers 4) As the degree of left-handedness increases, the number of errors committed also increases. Moreover, there is a statistically significant left-ear advantage for right-handers and a right-ear one for left-handers. Finally, those who interpreted with their right ear committed fewer errors of number than those who have used their left ear or both ears.

Prolonged deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) adversely affects outcome and quality of life in thoracic aortic surgery. Several techniques of antegrade cerebral perfusion are routinely used: bilateral selective antegrade cerebral protection (SACP) by introducing catheters in the innominate and left carotid artery, unilateral perfusion through the right axillary antegrade cerebral perfusion (RAACP) or a combination of right axillary perfusion with an additional catheter in the left carotid artery (RAACCP), resulting also in bilateral perfusion. The aim of the present study was to analyse the impact of the different approaches on the quality of life (QoL).

Mapping the relevant principles and norms of international law, the paper discusses scientific evidence and identifies current legal foundations of climate change mitigation adaptation and communication in international environmental law, human rights protection and international trade regulation in WTO law. It briefly discusses the evolution and architecture of relevant multilateral environmental agreements, in particular the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It discusses the potential role of human rights in identifying pertinent goals and values of mitigation and adaptation and eventually turns to principles and rules of international trade regulation and investment protection which are likely to be of crucial importance should the advent of a new multilateral agreement fail to materialize. The economic and legal relevance of rules on tariffs, border tax adjustment and subsidies, services and intellectual property and investment law are discussed in relation to the production, supply and use of energy. Moreover, lessons from trade negotiations may be drawn for negotiations of future environmental instruments. The paper offers a survey of the main interacting areas of public international law and discusses the intricate interaction of all these components informing climate change mitigation, adaptation and communication in international law in light of an emerging doctrine of multilayered governance. It seeks to contribute to greater coherence of what today is highly fragmented and rarely discussed in an overall context. The paper argues that trade regulation will be of critical importance in assessing domestic policies and potential trade remedies offer powerful incentives for all nations alike to participate in a multilateral framework defining appropriate goals and principles.

A word-length effect is often described in pure alexia, with reading time proportional to the number of letters in a word. Given the frequent association of right hemianopia with pure alexia, it is uncertain whether and how much of the word-length effect may be attributable to the hemifield loss. To isolate the contribution of the visual field defect, we simulated hemianopia in healthy subjects with a gaze-contingent paradigm during an eye-tracking experiment. We found a minimal word-length effect of 14 ms/letter for full-field viewing, which increased to 38 ms/letter in right hemianopia and to 31 ms/letter in left hemianopia. We found a correlation between mean reading time and the slope of the word-length effect in hemianopic conditions. The 95% upper prediction limits for the word-length effect were 51 ms/letter in subjects with full visual fields and 161 ms/letter with simulated right hemianopia. These limits, which can be considered diagnostic criteria for an alexic word-length effect, were consistent with the reading performance of six patients with diagnoses based independently on perimetric and imaging data: two patients with probable hemianopic dyslexia, and four with alexia and lesions of the left fusiform gyrus, two with and two without hemianopia. Two of these patients also showed reduction of the word-length effect over months, one with and one without a reading rehabilitation program. Our findings clarify the magnitude of the word-length effect that originates from hemianopia alone, and show that the criteria for a word-length effect indicative of alexia differ according to the degree of associated hemifield loss.

Long-term endurance sports are associated with atrial remodeling and atrial arrhythmias. More importantly, high-level endurance training may promote right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and complex ventricular arrhythmias. We investigated the long-term consequences of marathon running on cardiac remodeling as a potential substrate for arrhythmias with a focus on the right heart. We invited runners of the 2010 Grand Prix of Bern, a 10-mile race. Of 873 marathon and nonmarathon runners who applied, 122 (61 women) entered the final analysis. Subjects were stratified according to former marathon participations: control group (nonmarathon runners, n = 34), group 1 (1 marathon to 5 marathons, mean 2.7, n = 46), and group 2 (≥6 marathons, mean 12.8, n = 42). Mean age was 42 ± 7 years. Results were adjusted for gender, age, and lifetime training hours. Right and left atrial sizes increased with marathon participations. In group 2, right and left atrial enlargements were present in 60% and 74% of athletes, respectively. RV and left ventricular (LV) dimensions showed no differences among groups, and RV or LV dilatation was present in only 2.4% or 4.3% of marathon runners, respectively. In multiple linear regression analysis, marathon participation was an independent predictor of right and left atrial sizes but had no effect on RV and LV dimensions and function. Atrial and ventricular ectopic complexes during 24-hour Holter monitoring were low and equally distributed among groups. In conclusion, in nonelite athletes, marathon running was not associated with RV enlargement, dysfunction, or ventricular ectopy. Marathon running promoted biatrial remodeling.

HISTORY: A 76-year-old woman and a 62-year-old man were both referred to our clinic because of an unexplained weight loss, increasing dry cough and shortness of breath. INVESTIGATIONS: Investigations revealed an adenocarcinoma of the colon with retroperitoneal, mediastinal and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis and poorly differentiated carcinoma of the prostate with extensive bone metastases. During their hospital stay both patients developed increasing shortness of breath and clinical signs of right heart failure. Echocardiography confirmed severe pulmonary hypertension and dilatation of the right ventricle in both patients. Despite the high degree of clinical suspicion CT scans of the thorax could not demonstrate pulmonary embolism. DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND COURSE: During the following days the patients condition deteriorated further and both patients' died from irreversible right heart failure. Both autopsies showed extensive metastatic adenocarcinoma with marked angiosis carcinomatosa of the lungs with numerous occlusions of small arteries and arterioles and resulting cor pulmonale. Thrombotic pulmonary embolism could not be detected. CONCLUSION: In patients with malignant neoplasms, especially adenocarcinomas, dyspnea and signs of increasing pulmonary artery pressure, the possibility of a microscopic pulmonary tumor embolism should be considered after exclusion of more usual causes especially thrombotic pulmonary embolism. In selected cases a cytologic examination of blood aspirated from a wedged pulmonary artery catheter can be performed to prove angiosis is carcinomatosa.
