A little known episode in the history of plastic surgery occurred during the Italian Risorgimento 150 years ago. Dr. J. R. Wolfe, who described the full-thickness graft which bears his name, was involved with Garibaldi in the war to unite Italy. He crossed swords with an English nurse, Jessie White Mario, and was thrown into prison. The events were recorded in the Lancet as "A Neapolitan Outrage." This article gives the details of the sad story and goes on to describe the first attempts at full-thickness grafting to correct ectropion. Wolfe was not the first to carry out this procedure and the name of Lawson is rarely remembered.

Numerical Assessment of the Thermal Performance of Microchannels with Slip and Viscous Dissipation Effects.
Micromachines (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Industrial Engineering, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Viale Risorgimento 3, 40135 Bologna, Italy.
Microchannels are widely used across various industries, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, automotive and aerospace, energy production, and many others, although they were originally developed for the computing and electronics sectors. The performance of microchannels is strongly affected by factors such as rarefaction and viscous dissipation. In the present paper, a numerical analysis of the performance of microchannels featuring rectangular, trapezoidal and double-trapezoidal cross-sections in the slip flow regime is presented.

Understanding the Structure-Function Relationship through 3D Imaging and Biomechanical Analysis: A Novel Methodological Approach Applied to Anterior Cruciate Ligaments.
Biomimetics (Basel)
August 2024
Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano, Via Durando, 20158 Milano, Italy.
Understanding the microstructure of fibrous tissues, like ligaments, is crucial due to their nonlinear stress-strain behavior from unique fiber arrangements. This study introduces a new method to analyze the relationship between the microstructure and function of anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL). We tested the procedure on two ACL samples, one from a healthy individual and one from an osteoarthritis patient, using a custom tensioning device within a micro-CT scanner.

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technique widely used for rapid prototyping. This method facilitates the creation of parts with intricate geometries, making it suitable for advanced applications in fields such as tissue engineering, aerospace, and electronics. Despite its advantages, FDM often results in the formation of voids between the deposited filaments, which can compromise mechanical properties.

Chromatin modifiers are emerging as major determinants of many types of cancers, including Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphomas (ALCL), a family of highly heterogeneous T-cell lymphomas for which therapeutic options are still limited. HELLS is a multifunctional chromatin remodeling protein that affects genomic instability by participating in the DNA damage response. Although the transcriptional function of HELLS has been suggested, no clues on how HELLS controls transcription are currently available.
