Social Turmoil

The years during which Paolo Mantegazza served as Dean of the Medical Faculty, the Country was involved in a considerably large social turmoil, under the pressure of the so called student revolution, which was spreading through Europe. Such a movement, albeit very often out of control (with dangerous deviations), still was, in its basic and best aspects, the expression of an urgent need for innovation and social change. Mantegazza, who was a very qualified scientist in Pharmacology, perceived by intuition the need for a controlled change in the style and action of his office, and used a “gentle leadership” to carry on consistent innovations in the traditional “academic” policy of the Faculty. His major achievement was twofold: first, he was able to expand the Faculty into city hospitals other than the traditional Main Central University Hospital, thus allowing students to perform clinical practice in a new environment, more patient oriented than the classical one; second, this expansion offered teachers and researchers the opportunity to practice a less formal teaching, paying more attention, both from a clinical, scientific and teaching point of view, to the complexity of the patient and his/her social and personal context, with relevant consequences on the educational approach and to teacher-students relationships.

Morphological Patterns

Recently, the functional aspect as well as morphological aspect of the reserve cells in the cervix uteri drew much attention in view of the carcinogenesis in squamocolumunar junction. In this communication, the authors elucidate the ultrastructural features of the reserve cells in patients of various age groups visiting our university hospital and affiliated hospital.From conventional light microscopic point of view, the reserve cells tend to be pronounced in various pathological conditions, such as the persisting inflammation, proliferative disorders and irritation of hormones. The morphological patterns of the reserve cells from various stage and degree of irritation were observed.

Quantitative Case Study

In the past decades, there has been a growing interest in entrepreneurship education, and many higher education institutions have developed specific programs and courses to support entrepreneurial competencies. However, there have been significant changes in how universities train competences related to business skills and entrepreneurship in practice. Whereas entrepreneurship courses used to focus on the different forms of businesses and drafting business plans, the overall perception of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial competences has shifted this toward a more holistic educational approach to develop students’ entrepreneurial competencies. In this comparative quantitative case study, we investigate the university students’ perception of the development of their entrepreneurial competencies in the case of Proakatemia (Tampere University of Applied Sciences). The aim was to examine how the entrepreneurial competencies are reflected and strengthened in their thinking and everyday functions through the concept of team learning. The survey involved, altogether, 64 students, of which 21 studied in Proakatemia. The results of this study indicate that the team learning concept of Proakatemia facilitates learning entrepreneurial competencies. Therefore, these results provide insights for universities aiming to develop their curricula, programs and pedagogy, thus promoting sustainable societal development. However, we recommend further studies, e.g., from a qualitative point of view, to assess the effective of the concept in other learning environments.

The Impact

Critical patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy are in most cases eligible only for continuous modalities where the electrolyte balance control is a critical issue. The standard solutions used for hemodiafiltration, containing potassium at 2 mmol/L and no phosphorus, determines during the extended renal replacement therapy hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia. Therefore, solutions containing potassium and phosphate in physiological concentrations were formulated to avoid electrolyte imbalances and reduce ion alterations in prolonged treatments, these solutions are not routinely used in the standard clinical practice. To avoid electrolyte imbalances, we have first introduced in our practice two different solutions and then we have retrospectively analyzed the electrolyte balance upon these two solutions in order to identity the impact of these solutions on potassium and phosphate according to our clinical practice. We retrospectively analyzed 96 patients treated with Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) in the intensive care units (ICU) at Padua’s University Hospital to evaluate the role on electrolyte balance of Phoxilium® and Prismasol 2® that differ in their composition and the need for electrolytes infusions. In the Phoxilium group the frequency of hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and the need of potassium and phosphate replacement were significantly reduced resulting in a reduction in complications, workload, and clinical risk associated with infusions of electrolytes. Our data demonstrated that the use of these two different hemodiafiltration solutions can reduce the occurrence of hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia during CRRT performing personalized treatments without the use of potassium and phosphate infusions.

This study focussing on the use of code switching produced by instructors in English teaching and learning process based on Sosiolinguistics and language teaching point of view. This research uses qualitative method and records the process of teaching English and interviews the instructors and students as a technique of this research to find the importance of code switching. The data were transcripted and analyzed use the concepts of Wardhaugh and Suwito about types of code switching and functions of code switching use the concept of Margana. The research shows that there are 4 types of code switching intern, extern, metaphorical dan situasional code switching. Extern code switching are code switching from English to Indonesian (i.e. do you know what day is tomorrow? Besok hari apa?) and English to Manado Malay (i.e. you know what I mean? Mangarti nda?). Intern code switching is code switching from Manado Malay to Indonesian (i.e. besok hari libur jadi nda ada les. Lesnya nanti minggu depan). Metaphorical code switching is a code switching without any changing topic. Situasional code switching is a code switching with changing topic. Also, there are 7 types of code switching, they are repetition, clarification, exploration, explanation, giving assignment, checking students’ understanding and giving warning/suggestion. It can be concluded that there are 4 types of code switching produced by instructors in English teaching and learning process. They are extern, intern, metaphorical and situasional code switching. Besides, there are 7 functions of code switching. They are repetition, clarification, exploration, explanation, giving assignment, checking students’ understanding and giving warning/suggestion.Keywords : Code switching, Instructors utterences, English teaching and learning   process

Reasons why significant prostate cancer is still missed in early stage were investigated at the 22nd National SIEUN (Italian Society of integrated diagnostic in Urology, Andrology, Nephrology) congress took place from 30th November to 1st December 2020, in virtual modality. Even if multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) has been introduced in the clinical practice several, limitations are emerging in patient with regular digital rectal examination (DRE) and serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels approaching the normal limits. The present paper summarizes highlights observed in those cases where significant prostate cancer may be missed by PSA or imaging and DRE. The issue of multidisciplinary interest had been subdivided and deepened under four main topics: biochemical, clinical, pathological and radiological point of view with a focus on PI-RADS 3 lesions.

Abstract Background and study aims ESD in the colon is more challenging technically than in other locations. Here, we report the first comparative case series of colon ESD using a systematic countertraction strategy using two clips and a rubber band. Patients and methods Retrospective comparative study of classic versus countertraction colon ESD performed in colon ESD cases collected prospectively at Lyon Edouard Herriot Hospital and Limoges University Hospital from January 2016 until December 2017. Results The study included 192 cases (control = 76, countertraction = 116). Countertraction using the double clip and rubber band technique versus the control group resulted in a significant decrease in the procedure time (94.7 vs. 117 min; P = 0.004) and significant increases in procedure speed (28.2 vs. 16.7 mm2/min; P < 0.0001), en bloc resection rate (95.7 % vs. 76.3 %, P < 0.0001), and R0 resection rate (78.5 % vs. 64.5 %, P = 0.04).At an individual operator point of view, results varied between operators but the double clip countertraction strategy significantly increased the en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate, and speed of dissection for each of the 4 operators. Conclusion Systematic countertraction using a double clip and rubber band facilitates colon ESD. This strategy should become the standard for colon ESD.
