[Femicide: a Avoidable Mortality? The "Tivoli" Model].

The Instabul Convention is a normative tool for the prevention of women's violence in Europe. Rome 5 Local Healthcare Authority has implemented a synergistic intervention model in joint ventures with all stakeholders and institutions involved: the Tivoli Model. This model provides a synergistic social, health, legal and training approach to prevent violence against women in a logic of preventing an avoidable mortality.

Persistent overdose caused by a very small dose of intrathecal morphine in an elderly patient undergoing vaginal hysterectomy: a case report.

Intrathecal opioid administration is a well established, inexpensive and effective, widely used procedure in the elderly and has well known side effects. We report a case of an elderly woman who received small doses of intrathecal opioids (sufentanil 2.5 microg and morphine 60 microg) for gynecological surgery and thereafter developed severe neurological side effects.

Chromatin characterization by banding techniques, in situ hybridization, and nuclear DNA content in Cicer L. (Leguminosae).

The karyotypes of three accessions, one each from three annual species of the genus Cicer, namely Cicer arietinum, Cicer reticulation, and Cicer echinospermum, were examined and compared using C-banding, the fluorochromes chromomycin A3, DAPI, and Hoechst 33258, in situ hybridization of the 18S-5.8S-25S and 5S rDNA sequences, and silver staining. The nuclear DNA content of the three species and the amount of heterochromatin were also determined.

[Chemoprevention of genotoxic damage in lung cells of rats exposed to cigarette smoke].

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) according to a complex protocol which lasted 40 days. Some of the groups were pre-treated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) by gavage (1 g/kg b.w.
