She has also published quantitative investigations through the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, in order to evaluate how the relational processes may deposit on the life of both the patient and the doctor, representing a resource but also an obstacle.

Drugs and quality of life: Between life and death: A journey through the centre of Bologna accompanied by a weird student that will tell stories and anecdotes of the past university life. Eradication of the smallpox and other vaccines Andrea Grignolio Responsible of millions of deaths, smallpox terrified thousands generations with its cyclic epidemic outbreaks. The first empirical practices to prevent smallpox variolation came from the Far East, but it was only after the invention of vaccination by Edward Jenner at the end of that humanity started to fight infectious diseases for the first time.
This discovery inaugurated the age of vaccines, which led the WHO to declare the global eradication of smallpox in Today, social frictions, wellness as well as emerging diseases bring back vaccines at the center of public discussion. Introduction to the clinical trials, in collaboration with: Why the doctor has to tell all the truth even to the children Giuseppe Remuzzi How should we behave with children and adolescents affected by serious or very serious diseases? For doctors there is — or, maybe, there was — an unwritten rule made of three principles: In one word, it is seems necessary to lie to children, it was like this for decades — at least in the United States — and children realized it.
Maybe because they know that asking questions to doctors is useless, so they remain silent. It is a frightening silence. Paediatric Clinic Simulated hospital rounds with: Giacomo Faldella Andrea Pession The visits in wards come back: The public will follow the visits that will analyze similar cases in different time periods.
A journey to understand the history and the evolution of diagnosis and medical treatments. From nutrition to endoscopy. The prevention of digestive system tumors in the ages of life Franco Bazzoli Luigi Ricciardiello Rocco Maurizio Zagari Sponsored by AIRC Digestive system tumors, in particular those related to the esophagus, stomach and colon, represent the most important causes of incidence and death from cancer.
These tumors share risk factors related to lifestyles and nutrition in particular, and also diagnostic and therapeutic instruments, like endoscopy. These tumors can be avoided through primary prevention, which has to start from a young age leading a healthy lifestyle and then on secondary prevention, which means the identification and removal of early lesions, reserved for older people.
Adult age and nutrition Arrigo Francesco Giuseppe Cicero Wei Wei Adult age represents the crucial phase of life in which we decide how to age healthy. Correct nutrition plays a key role in maintaining a healthy life and it helps prevent the most common pathologies related to senility. What are the staples of this diet? Calorie intake proportional to the amount consumed, few salt, lots of vegetables and legumes, few products of animal origin, extravirgin olive oil, lots of spices and a glass of wine. Gianfranco Morrone, Giovanni Pieroni Introduction by: Giovanni De Plato Speakers: Inauguration with the authorities.
The Age of Insight: The possibility to achieve this goal began at the end of the 20th century when cognitive psychology, the science of the mind, merged with neuroscience, the science of the brain. Original and sparkling is his choice of a particular form of art; modernist portraiture in Vienna at the beginning of the XX century.

Suitable for second cycle of primary schools. Ottavio Nicastro, Sandra Vernero Speakers: A journey through the center of Bologna accompanied by a weird student that will tell stories and anecdotes of the past university life. From the weeping willow to the aspirin.
The evolution of antiinfiammatory drugs Vittorio Alessandro Sironi NSAIDs Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs is an acronym introduced in the s to designate a varied class of analgesics, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs different from steroids. Their 9 empirical discovery is ancient, but the scientific knowledge and the creation of the first chemical products systematically used in medicine can be dated to the last decades of the 19th century, along with the development of pharmaceutical industry.
The discovery of the acetylsalicylic acid aspirin , patented by Bayer in , is symbolic. The talk will highlight the history of the medical use of this molecule over time and the evolution of NSAIDs, with their problems — even recent — on the advantages and the side effects connected to their use and abuse. Also the marketing strategies related to these drugs will be discussed, with reference to the events that, a few years ago, led to the withdrawal of some molecules belonging to a new family of NSAIDs Selective COX-2 for their serious side effects. The issue of the relationship between risks and benefits in a specific medical and pharmacological field will also be discussed.
If they are administered according to appropriate strategies, they ensure the control of targeted diseases, but also their elimination or even eradication. Vaccines have also an economical value: The decreased trust towards vaccines, witnessed by the recent reduction of national coverage, recalls all the 10 characters involved — central Government, Regions, medical and public experts — to the identification and fulfillment of EBM vaccine policies able to promote the social, ethic, economic and above all healthcare value of vaccinations. The extraordinary successes of the transplantation medicine represent the scientific achievement that most deeply impressed our collective imagination.
But sometimes some doubts may rise. Two protagonists will tell their experience in order to erase the Titanic image and metaphor. Urology Clinic Simulated hospital rounds with: Giuseppe Martorana The visits in wards come back: China is getting nearer and nearer Sponsored by: Intesa Sanpaolo Welcome By: Huang Yongyue Introduction by: The role of the financial institutions is also relevant as they may accompany the cooperating processes. Regarding children, the main aims of the research in the nutritional field are to fight infant obesity, whereas in elderly people the aim is to maintain a healthy and autonomous life.
Both children and elderly people should have a balanced and complete nutrition of the main nutrients and nutraceuticals, keeping in mind that what is eaten can influence health and physical efficiency in both fragile ages. The Personalized Medicine Revolution: Aaron Ciechanover Coordinated by: Piergiorgio Strata With the realization that patients with apparently similar diseases — breast or prostate cancer, for example — respond differently to similar treatments, we have begun to understand that the mechanistic bases of what we thought mistakenly is the same disease entity, are actually 12 different.
Here, the understanding of the mechanism will drive the development of new drugs. This era will be characterized initially by the development of technologies to sequence individual genomes transcriptomes, proteomes and metabolomes , followed by identification and characterization of new disease-specific molecular markers and drug targets, and by design of novel, mechanism-based drugs to these targets. This era will be also accompanied by complex bioethical problems, where genetic information of large populations will become available, and protection of privacy will become an important issue.
The future of biotechnologies: Biotechnologies represent the frontier of innovation and the principal source of potential answers to unsatisfied health needs and are also a sector with many growth opportunities, where Italy is proving to be internationally competitive. Raised among doctors, nephew of the famous Erasmus, Darwin himself studied, reluctantly, medicine. He addressed himself to texts concerning genetic inheritance when he decided to marry his cousin, Emma Wedgwood. He believed that the diseases suffered by his children where due to inbreeding; he himself tried everything to relieve his own sufferings.
It is difficult to say how these elements may have influenced one another. Speaking, this time, is not a sociologist or a sexologist but an urologist, witness of this clinical-social evolution. The ages of fertility Eleonora Porcu Marielle, Madagascar: Every year in the world 2 millions of girls, aged less than 15, become mothers.
Rajo Devi Lohan, 72 years old, after 18 months from the birth of her daughter, is in desperate conditions but declares: Opportunities, geography and the stages of fertility. The limit that defines old age is dynamic: The age between 65 and 74 14 years is today considered the one of the young olds, a population that shares with young people a great part of biological characteristics. So, now there seems to be a mismatch between chronological and biological age. Only by recognising and defending their different normalcy, the elderly people find out that their life makes sense. Face, surgery and 3D technologies.
Maxillo-facial achievements and frontiers Alberto Bianchi Claudio Marchetti One of the medical areas in which new technologies have been mostly used in the last decades is the maxillofacial surgery: Have Doctors got closer to patients in this way? Are they able to understand them more and to accompany them throughout the experience of the desease? A question is making its way through. What is the real role of modern technologies in medicine: The relationship among health, healthcare and politics in Republican Italy: The end of old charity congregations, together with the modernization of the local healthcare and the affirmation of the universal system, change interlocutors, places of power and sources of 15 supply.
An open battle between the center and the outskirts of the city which is still going on. Ordine dei Medici di Bologna Doctor-patient communication is more and more central in magazines. Sometimes it is discussed in a general way suggesting to humanize medicine, other times in a more urgent way: Can we change the way doctors communicate? We will also reflect together, doctors and patients, about how crucial, tiring and intense it is to build a good relationship with ill people, in which the principle aim should be a good communication.
Age of onset of mental disorders: It is necessary to redefine services and to switch from late and less effective interventions to early and more effective ones. It is also necessary to increase medical knowledge regarding mental health problems among young people. Oocyte development Renato Seracchioli Oocytes constitute women genetic patrimony: Subsequently the production stop 16 to give way to a progressive reduction, so that at birth we register about 2 millions oocytes and during puberty about The process of conservation, maturation and selection of oocytes is really complex.
We will try to understand it more through the experience half-serious of an oocyte that illustrates all the stages of its life. The sound of silence. Genius and suffering in Ludwig van Beethoven Maurizio Giani Antonio Pirodda Fabio Regazzi The fact that the musical genius of Beethoven expressed himself despite his deafness is an anecdote known by many. What did his pathology consist of? What was he suffering from? Which diseases and how many stages did he go through before composing the IX Simphony and his famous string quartets, in the silence of his mind?
Through testimonies and documents, and with the help of technology and science, Bologna Medicine offers an exclusive event: The rules of the body. Norm and arbitrariness Sponsored by: Accademia di Belle Arti of Bologna Organized by: Piero Deggiovanni, Valeria Roncuzzi, Camilla Roversi Monaco The exhibition will feature a specimen on the representation of the body between art and science.
More than 30 graphic artworks will be presented together with a sampling of rare, antique, illustrated editions and a significant exhibit of statues belonging to the precious plaster cast gallery of the Institution. Mozartian music for mechanical organ as a metaphor of the vision of time and of the stages of life at the end of the 18th century. Discovering the genes of immunity: Lucio Ildebrando Maria Cocco Our immune system is composed of two lines of defence.
The first one is constituted by innate immunity, and when microorganisms overcome this line, adaptive immunity intervenes through T and B lymphocytes, that produce antibodies and killer cells able to destroy microorganisms and infected cells. Once the pathogen is destroyed, the adaptive immune system maintains an immunological memory. The discoveries that have revolutionized the concept of immune defenses have been achieved studying the defense mechanisms of fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster , with particular reference to the Toll gene family, involved into the embryonic development.
These results have demonstrated that fruit flies and mammals use similar molecules in order to activate innate immunity. Gianluca Cingolani Curated by: Dugong Produzioni Art installation on the memory of sign language. From quinine to artemisinin: Only in , parasitologists discovered that the infection was conveyed by mosquitos bite. Already years ago a drug effective against malaria had been discovered, the quinine.
The new frontier of antimalarial therapies is interestingly connected to the Vietnam War, and the related discoveries that led to the Nobel Prize, awarded to the Chinese Professor Tu Youyou will be discussed. The future emerging diseases come from the past: For example, tuberculosis, that has returned to be a worldwide health problem and the multi-resistant superbacteria that are freightening health organizations both in the north and south of the world, and coexist with medical scientific advances. Sleep, health and well-being Francesca Milano Giuseppe Plazzi Claudio Vicini Sleep breathing disorders are highly frequent and represent the cause of several effects on health and quality of life.
If they are not treated, they are related to an increase in the cardiovascular risk. In children, they can be responsible of a growth delay, hyperactivity and poor school performance. In adults, they can worsen the capacity to concentrate, driving vigilance, induce somnolence during the day and cause metabolic alterations.
In elderly people, they can compromise cognitive capacities. The therapies and prevention available today involve different medical specialties that are able to face and solve in an integrated way the multiple consequences of this pathology. I and the new technologies: Augusto Cavina, Marco Gasparri Coordinated by: William Boselli Sponsored by: Montecatone Rehabilitation Institute The Montecatone Rehabilitation Institute is home every year to approximately people with medulla lesion from all over Italy. During the recovery, the rehabilitation project aims at achieving the maximum recovery of reachable autonomy against a permanent disability.
Then, it is necessary to rethink a life that can be a real Life. Today, new technologies offer growing opportunities to live an independent life also when the disability is strongly impactful. Cardiology Clinic Simulated hospital rounds with: Claudio Rapezzi The visits in wards come back: Qi — The live blow. Discovering Traditional Chinese Medicine Staged by: Marcella Brizzi, Marina Timoteo Speakers: In this view, two different souls of Traditional Chinese Medicine can be identified: A reflection on the possible integrations.
When the brain degenerates. Which cognitive resources Fiorenzo Conti Cesare Cornoldi Cerebral aging represents a field of great scientific and social interest. In the great area concerning cerebral aging, cognitive decline is 22 certainly the most interesting as well as worrying aspect.
Are we all subjected to cognitive decline? And does it involve all the aspects of our cognitive abilities? What is being done? And, above all, what can we do right now or what should have we done already? From medical genetics to genetic medicine. This is an approach that characterizes also the use of genomic tools in medicine. Actually, genetics is not a body of knowledge that can be separated from evolutionary and developmental biology.
Counterfeiting health Giorgio Cantelli Forti Stefano Cinotti Patrizia Hrelia Claudio Vincelli Counterfeiting is a crime, a planetary problem, a great threat towards public health that also involves food and medicines. An illegal turnover of 1,1 billion a year for the food industry. Ten per cent of medicines sold in the world is counterfeit, including cases of poisoning and intoxication.
This phenomenon is increasing and evolving: However, in our Country there are people who monitor the phenomenon to safeguard health. What risks do we take when we surrender to temptations such as shortcuts, cheating and deception against others and ourselves? Working on Qi and the art of cultivating life: What can we learn from the study of rare diseases? Andrea Bartuli A rare disease RD is every morbid condition, congenital or acquired, with an incidence lower than 1 case every inhabitants.
Because of the rarity of the single diseases, there are no declared valid protocols based on evidences. Nevertheless, RDs are wonderful opportunities: This is the slogan of an American society of genomics that highlights the importance of DNA in our life. The genome project HGP , concluded in , got us used to the idea that once it was decoded, the benefits for humanity would have been enormous.
This will involve the aggregation of interdisciplinary operative structures in which geneticists have to communicate with chemists, physiologists, clinicians, cellular biologists and computer technicians. Visit with animation at the anatomical Theatre, for families Two events dedicated to families. Why centenarians are centenarians?
Claudio Franceschi Centenarians and their family members represent the best model of longevity and healthy ageing, and allow us to identify protective factors towards age-related diseases. The price of drugs Luca Pani There are two main criteria to determine the cost of pharmaceuticals. Crime has no age. Are there crimes that are specific to particular age of life?
In which way do medical science and investigation influence the debate of the trial? To answer these questions we will discuss how the scientific evolution has influenced trials as in famous and less famous court cases that have seen among testimonies the inspection, the collection of biological traces, DNA, how the Judge, peritus peritorum, interpreted the evidence and how means of communications were able to involve the whole society into an intense debate.
The focus of the medical action is not the disease, but human beings that are always unique. We could say that that if the cure is the dress to create for the patient, scientific knowledge represent the fabric, and the doctor, who is a tailor, has to cut and sew the texitile material according to the shape of each patient.
Today the scene is even more complex and the clinical eye of a single doctor has to be substituted by the action of a team of specialists. Innovation and sustainability Massimo Scaccabarozzi New pharmaceuticals enable tailored and more efficient therapies. The debate on their cost has to start from the necessity to make them accessible, considering their value as an investment, since they avoid other health and social expenses.
A health care system for the future has to evaluate the result of the service, for the patient and for the efficiency of the entire Welfare system, letting go some of the logics of the past. Causes and consequences of microRNA dysregulation in cancer Carlo Maria Croce Since the discovery of miRa and miR deletions in CLL, many laboratories around the world have shown miRNA dysregulation in all tumors studied, including the most common, such as lung, breast, prostate and gastrointestinal cancers.
Such dysregulation, like the dysregulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, can be caused by multiple mechanisms, such as deletion, amplification, mutation, transcriptional dysregulation and epigenetic changes. A future challenge will be to identify all of the targets of the miRNAs involved in cancer and establish their contribution to malignant transformation. An additional challenge will be the identification of all of the miRNAs that are dysregulated by pathways that are consistently dysregulated in various types of human cancers.
This point is of particular importance, as instead of focusing on specific alterations in protein-coding oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes — which may be difficult to treat — we could focus on their downstream miRNA targets. If these miRNA targets are crucial for the expression of the malignant phenotype and the cancer cells depend on their dysregulation for proliferation and survival, we can expect that the use of miRNAs or anti-miRNAs will result in tumor regression.
Aging Clin Exp Res, ; 24 5: Longevity represent an achievement of civilization and therefore it should come as a right to those who are part of a civilized society. Corrigendum to 'Validation of the 4AT, a new instrument for rapid delirium screening: Morandi A, Bellelli G. It is necessary to redefine services and to switch from late and less effective interventions to early and more effective ones. Dementia, delirium, and depression in patients with hip fracture: His research activity concerns the Helicobacter pylori infection and the diseases of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.
Genomic analyses for alteration in miRNA genes or for copy number alterations in various human tumors by deep sequencing is in progress but has not been completed. These studies could provide additional information concerning the involvements of miRNAs in cancer and in many other diseases. Over the past few years, we have observed a shift from conventional chemotherapy to targeted therapies, and miRNAs and anti-miRNAs will contribute extensively to the latter.
The ages of skin Alberto Giannetti Skin ageing includes cosmetic alterations, dermatitis connected to age and skin cancers. The intrinsic ageing, typical of skin not exposed to sun, is characterized by thin wrinkles, homogeneous pigmentation and dryness. Sun exposure speeds up the ageing process with wrinkles and deep pigmentation alterations. Chronical sun exposure is partly responsible for skin cancers, typical of the elderly.
The correct cycle progression, that enables the duplication of cells and the life of men, is controlled by enzymes that are called ciclyn-dependent kinases CDKs. In multicellular eukaryotes the necessity to respond to a major number of internal and external stimuli has enabled the evolution of multiple and diverse CDKs that are fundamental to maintain the correct cell patrimony of each organism.
The active part of the CDKs is the target of enzymes that remove or add phosphorus and determine the phosphorylation status of the complex, modulating its activity more finely. Thus, these enzymes are similar to switches that turn on and off the cell cycle progression, whereas stable interactions are similar to bolts or latches that once they are closed they need a key and not just a simple push.
Accademia di Belle Arti of Bologna The Artist Sissi and her students of the Academy will offer an approach to the poetic vision of the body through a performative action that, starting from a reflection and an analysis of the 29 epithelial tissue, will lead us to its recreation-regeneration through the tailoring tissue. Fenomenologia del Dottor Raniero: Raniero, the obsessive and disturbing doctor of some of his movies. Penicillins and other antibiotics Mauro Capocci After the lecture: Since then, several new antibiotics have been developed, often through a collaboration between private and public sectors.
But all that glitters is not gold: This is the challenge for the future, which will require a collaboratior between health care policy and basic research. Why do we suffer from it and will never eradicate Arnaldo Benini Lumbar back pain lumbago is the most common pain. Incidence and gravity are growing up, also among the youths.
We will not break free from this disease soon. The diseases of information Alison Abbott This festival has done a lot to bring the medical sciences to the public in Bologna. But how can we make sure that new medical advances are brought to the public in a responsible way? A journey from the bench side discoveries, through scientific publications like Nature, to the worlds of old and new media. Visit with animation at the anatomical Theatre, for families.
