Coma and confirmed epileptiform activity induced by Amanita pantherina poisoning.

Amanita pantherina poisoning is a rare event poorly described. The clinical picture is usually associated with the one of A. muscaria, but A.

Dexrazoxane for rapid extended livedo reticularis-like skin reaction due to systemic epirubicin diffusion during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization procedure for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Skin reactions after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with anthracyclines are rare and mostly limited to small areas. We describe a 56-year-old male with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with epirubicin chemoembolization. Immediately the procedure, pain on the right side and an extended livedo reticularis-like skin reaction appeared.

SORGENTINA-RF FUSION NEUTRON PLANT: PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE BIOSHIELDING IN COMPLIANCE WITH DOSE CONSTRAINTS FOR WORKERS EXPOSURE.

An accelerator-driven 14 MeV neutron source of new concept, denominated SORGENTINA-RF, will be installed in ENEA Brasimone Research Centre, to test the feasibility of producing radionuclides of medical relevance using fusion neutrons. The main goal of the facility is generating 99Mo as precursor of 99mTc, a radionuclide widely used in nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures, using the 14 MeV fusion neutrons produced by the plant. This work describes the study performed for the design of a proper shielding structure that aims at fulfilling the requirement of 0.

It Takes a Village to Trust Science: Towards a (Thoroughly) Social Approach to Public Trust in Science.

In this paper, I distinguish three general approaches to public trust in science, which I call the individual approach, the semi-social approach, and the social approach, and critically examine their proposed solutions to what I call the problem of harmful distrust. I argue that, despite their differences, the individual and the semi-social approaches see the solution to the problem of harmful distrust as consisting primarily in trying to persuade individual citizens to trust science and that both approaches face two general problems, which I call the problem of overidealizing science and the problem of overburdening citizens. I then argue that in order to avoid these problems we need to embrace a (thoroughly) social approach to public trust in science, which emphasizes the social dimensions of the reception, transmission, and uptake of scientific knowledge in society and the ways in which social forces influence both positively and negatively the trustworthiness of science.

Issues in the Implementation of Directive 2013/35/EU Regarding the Protection of Workers against Electromagnetic Fields.

In 2016 the Directive 2013/35/EU regarding the protection of health and safety of workers exposed to electromagnetic fields was transposed in Italy. Since then, the authors of this paper have been faced with several issues related to the implementation of the provisions of the Directive, which pose some interpretative and operative concerns. A primary critical feature of the Directive is that, in some circumstances, conditions of "overexposure", i.
