Objectives: Breast carcinoma with choriocarcinomatous differentiation is a rare entity, generally presenting with high-grade disease and an aggressive clinical course with overall survival of less than a year Case: A 69-year-old woman with a diagnosis of pT1N0M0 invasive ductal carcinoma with choriocarcinomatous differentiation received six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and is still disease free on the 23rd month after diagnosis, showing a better prognosis than most other cases reported in the literature. Conclusion: The reason for the poor prognosis for this type of breast carcinoma remains unclear. Standard chemotherapeutic agents administered for breast carcinoma may be used for choriocarcinomatous differentiation.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease known to present with highly variable manifestations, especially when left untreated. Patients who present to Internal Medicine Departments with fever and a rash are always a diagnostic challenge since mild viral diseases and life-threatening bacterial infections may manifest themselves similarly. In the following case presentation, we describe a patient with 1 month’s duration of fever and rash on the palms of the hand and soles of the feet, in the form of erythema multiforme (EM)-like lesions. His disease was diagnosed as secondary syphilis, once again justifying its name: the “great masquerader".

Introduction, objective: To present a case report in which the finding of non-coeliac gluten sensitivity was decisive for the treatment of a complex autoimmune disease. Materials and methods: A 43-year-old woman with polyarthritis, psoriatic features, anti-SSA/Ro and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, with refractory course, was evaluated for gluten sensitivity despite negative serology for coeliac disease. Results: The patient carried the HLA DQ2 haplotype and duodenal biopsy showed lymphocytic enteritis. A gluten-free diet resolved the clinical picture and permitted tapering of immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusion: Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity can be associated with autoimmunity despite the absence of the specific autoantibodies of coeliac disease.

The authors describe a case of a 48-year-old man who presented with four weeks of fever, generalized malaise, weight loss, right upper quadrant abdominal pain and hepatosplenomegaly. He evolved with pancytopenia, bone marrow haemophagocytosis and hyperferritinaemia. Recent diagnosis of HIV infection, with the exclusion of other plausible causes, prompted the diagnosis of haemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) secondary to HIV. Despite intensive care support and initiation of antiretroviral therapy, the patient died. HPS diagnosis secondary to HIV alone demands the exclusion of all the other secondary causes. The best approach includes early diagnosis and specific treatment of the associated cause, whenever possible.

L’aumento dei costi in sanità, l’aumentata prevalenza delle patologie croniche, le disuguaglianze attuali, evidenziano la domanda crescente di una popolazione fragile che richiede una risposta globale ai bisogni della persona nel suo insieme, attraverso la costruzione di un sistema sanitario integrato che ne garantisca una presa in carico efficace. Riuscire a gestire le patologie croniche in modo appropriato è la sfida a cui sono chiamati i professionisti socio-sanitari; ma quali sono gli elementi per riuscirci? Le evidenze scientifiche dimostrano che è fondamentale l’integrazione tra i professionisti e lo sviluppo dei Percorsi Diagnostici Terapeutici Assistenziali (PDTA). In quest’ottica, in Italia e in particolare in Emilia-Romagna e nell’Azienda USL di Bologna si sono succeduti, e ancora si stanno evolvendo, diversi modelli di organizzazione per migliorare la gestione appropriata delle patologie croniche e l’aderenza alle linee guida e/o ai PDTA. Il ruolo del medico di medicina generale (MMG) è ancora fondamentale e il suo contributo integrato a quello degli gli altri professionisti coinvolti sono imprescindibili per una buona gestione e presa in carico del paziente cronico. Per questo motivo, l’Azienda USL di Bologna ha sviluppato e implementato una politica strategica aziendale volta a disegnare i PDTA e incoraggiato la medicina generale a lavorare sempre di più in gruppo, rispetto al modello del singolo medico. Lo studio ha individuato nelle malattie cardiovascolari, che rimangono la causa principale di morte e morbilità, il suo focus prendendo in esame, in particolare,lo scompenso cardiaco e il post-IMA. L’obiettivo è verificare se e quanto il modello organizzativo, le caratteristiche del medico e del paziente influiscono sul buon management delle patologie croniche in esame valutando la buona adesione alla terapia farmacologica raccomandata dalle linee guida e/o PDTA dello scompenso cardiaco e post-IMA.

This thesis is aimed at providing a translation from Italian into English of some chapters taken from Osteopatia come Medicina di Terreno (Osteopathy as Ground Medicine), written by Dr. Mauro Fornari D.O.M.R.O.I., Dr. Alberto Garoli MD Ac, MD Ay, MD Tcm, Dr. Lara Gozzi D.O.M.R.O.I., Professor Stefano Guizzardi MD Ph.D., Dr. Andrea Martini D.O.M.R.O.I., and Dr. Stefano Matassoni D.O.M.R.O.I., published in 2014 by Piccin Nuova Libraria publishing house. The main reason behind this choice is a personal interest in technical-scientific translation, especially in medical translation. Furthermore, this translation has been personally requested by one of the authors of the book, Dr. Mauro Fornari, in order to export the new and functional osteopathic method to assess the patient, that is discussed in this book. The dissertation consists of four chapters. Chapter one illustrates an analysis of specialized languages from a stylistic, textual, lexical and morphosyntactic point of view. Chapter two contains an analysis of the main features of medical language, both in Italian and English. Chapter three is focused on corpus linguistics and the use of corpora in specialized translation, it includes a brief introduction to the Osteopathic practice, and contains the translation of chapters 4-5-6-7 of Osteopatia come Medicina di Terreno. And finally, chapter four contains an analysis of the problems found during the translation process, and a proposal for their resolution.
