The dott. Luca Serra, Vertebral Surgery of the Pascale Institute in Naples and Israelite Hospital, explains the achievements reached in this field

Dr. Serra, what is meant by minimally invasive spinal surgery?

In recent years, the progress of surgical techniques and increasingly sophisticated instruments have made it possible to transform traditional surgery into minimally invasive spinal surgery which allows the treatment of many pathological conditions of the spine with interventions in day surgery or with very short hospitalizations.

What are the advantages for patients compared to traditional spine surgery?

The advantages are considerable: smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay with consequent cost reduction, fewer pain control drugs and a much faster recovery of work and life activities daily.

In which column disorders can minimally invasive surgery be applied?

In almost all the most frequent morbid conditions: disc hernias, fractures, canal stenosis, instability, spondyloses and tumors. In the case of a herniated disc, for example, among the many possibilities among which the surgeon can choose, percutaneous discectomy is certainly one of the best techniques available today. With an adequate selection of cases to be treated this procedure, in fact, is effective in 80% of cases, with the immediate disappearance or significant reduction of pain symptoms. In osteoporosis, trauma or tumor fractures, vertebroplasty makes it possible to secure the column by avoiding the need for metal busts and immobilization and ensuring the disappearance of pain.

Mrs. Immacolata reveals some secrets behind the success of these delicious cookies …

Honey, jam, extra virgin olive oil and cinnamon: simple and genuine ingredients, wisely used to churn out the very tasty Setacciò biscuits. Fragrant, fragrant, with an unmistakable taste, these small gastronomic treasures are born from the passion and determination of Mrs. Immacolata Rosiello, restaurateur for 30 years, owner of La Locanda del Borbone, a warm and welcoming family-run restaurant located in the village of San Leucio (CE). It is here that Immacolata has been making its unique biscuits for some years.

Immaculate, how were the biscuits born?

The cookies Setacciò are the fruit of my passion for sweets, for tradition and for well-being.

The desserts that arrive on our tables are full of butter, eggs and milk, the main causes of food intolerances and allergies. As a restaurateur I know the consequences of these intolerances, unfortunately very common today, and the attention of consumers to healthy and natural products. My kitchen gives a nod to the typical local tradition, and that is why, recovering ancient confectionery recipes of the territory, I learned that the desserts of the past were made without products of animal origin. Thus, armed with a sieve, hands in dough and happiness in my heart, mixing and dosing the ingredients wisely, I gave life to the Setacciò.

Pan di Seta is the family brand, ancient bakers, under which it sells its biscuits, what was the path?

I have been selling Setacciò for 10 years in my restaurant, after which the request has increased a lot with an increasingly positive response, so I decided to formalize and certify the production of my beloved biscuits. I registered the trademark and nutritional tables at the ASL. Then we dedicated ourselves to packaging, we made a 400g sealed box, brown and ivory with a fabric texture that recalls the textile tradition of our territory. Soon the cookies can also be purchased online.

Now let’s talk about the ingredients you use and the different flavors available.

The products I use are organic and artisanal. Honey and jam are homemade. The secret lies in the dough I rigorously make by hand using sifted flour and hot water. The six variants include chocolate and almonds or hazelnuts or pistachio, chocolate and cherries or sour cherries or just chocolate, as long as dark. The peculiarity of these cookies is that the more time passes the more they become tasty and crumbly. Ah, I forgot the main ingredient: a big dose of love!

Cutting-edge technology, comfort and safety for patients

Igea Sant’Antimo, a leading Italian company in the field of diagnostics, thanks to the latest generation of technological equipment and the continuous improvement of diagnostic techniques, for over 20 years guarantees high quality and cutting-edge services, without neglecting the safety and comfort of the patient. “Investing in technology and continuous professional development to guarantee high quality services: this is the mission of our Center!”, Says dr. Antimo Cesaro, CEO of Centro Igea, calling it an onerous but necessary choice to pursue excellence in the health field.

Dr. Cesaro, what is the founding philosophy contained in your company claim?

“Caring well, living better”, this is the recurring leitmotiv in a Center that, in these 20 years of life, has invested heavily in technological innovation, becoming one of the first in Italy in terms of modern machinery and diagnostic equipment. An excellence guaranteed also by a highly qualified medical team, with an excellent medical-scientific profile and proven professionalism, which takes care of the care and reception of an increasingly demanding and informed patient every day, who is projected into an efficient reality where its needs revolve in the center.

What is your vision?

Centro Igea wants to offer itself more and more as a structure of excellence able to support the action of public health, without wanting to replace it but integrating it and contributing to the welfare welfare of the people of Campania. And to celebrate the first twenty years of activity, the structure has decided to invest further in a territory with great potential and growing needs for health and well-being; to strengthen, besides diagnostic assistance, also the research sector, to confirm itself more and more as a leading reality in scientific knowledge. Starting from the primary objective of raising public awareness on the importance of early diagnosis, especially in the oncology field, every year, for example, it reserves particular attention to the “May of women”, a month notoriously dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, offering free visits made by expert senologists.

The Center wanted to celebrate the first twenty years of activity by purchasing another important technological device: LA 3 TESLA. What is it?

Of a latest generation machinery which, compared to the Magnetic Resonances currently present in Italy, allows a significant improvement of the information content of the images, allowing to investigate the biochemical substrate of the pathological conditions for a better diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients.

The doctor Enrico Foresta, a well-known specialist in Maxillofacial Surgery in Rome, illustrates the latest frontiers in this field

Dr. Forest, what qualities are required today for a good surgeon?

The nose has always played an important role in facial harmony and human beauty. For a successful intervention, it is therefore necessary to take into consideration several fundamental aspects: the features of the face, its size, the cut of the eyes, the thickness of the skin and the size of the lips. Each nose is obviously different from the other, so each case represents a new challenge. And if until a few decades ago this type of intervention was used for purely aesthetic reasons, today a good surgeon must also and above all evaluate the functionality of the organ: the two aspects cannot therefore be split!

The interventional procedure aimed at changing the functional and aesthetic aspects of the nose is now more reliable and predictive than in the past. What are the latest frontiers in this field?

Today there are two different schools of thought. In the c.d. approach closed incisions are performed inside the nose and the skeletonization takes place “in the open”; in this case the success of the intervention is entrusted to the tactile sensitivity of the surgeon and his experience. With the open technique, vice versa, a small external scar is associated with incisions inside the nose that will become invisible over time. In this case the skeletonization occurs “in the open”: the surgeon sees the defect and modifies it. For years now, the best technique has been discussed. In reality the difference is made by the skill, experience and aesthetic taste of the surgeon.

Daniela Franco and Chiara Carratù, two souls, one structure. Mom and daughter who at some point in their lives decide to share an important entrepreneurial project to give life to a piece of their past, opening an elegant B&B in the refined and renowned promontory of Posillipo, one of the most evocative and panoramic places in Naples.

Professionalism and experience in terms of compensation for damage caused by the circulation of vehicles or boats, these are the distinctive features of the law firm Menghetti & Partners of Rome. The Firm, founded by Avv. Marco Menghetti, operates throughout the national territory thanks to a network of highly qualified professionals (each with specific skills in the various fields of Civil Law, including Insurance, Family and Labor Law).

Avv. Menghetti, what are the advantages that you have when you turn to your Studio?

Preliminarily, a free legal advice with a clear and transparent cost estimate, which in the case of a road accident, for example, is mostly borne by insurance. In addition, some of the firm’s lawyers have gained experience both in their pre-litigation and litigation activities in well-known insurance companies. Each lawyer periodically attends professional refresher courses in the favorite subjects, in order to be always informed about all the new regulations.

What are the risks, however, in formulating a claim for damages or managing the liquidation of the damage on their own?

When drawing up a damage request in person, you can make the mistake of ignoring a decisive factor considering it superfluous, or using an inappropriate phrase, risking to compromise all or part of your compensation. Furthermore, even completing a CAI form (former CID) may be insidious, in fact you can describe a fact different from reality and thus affect your rights. It is even more difficult to understand all the types of damage that you may be entitled to and the right measure in which they have to be compensated.

Therefore, make use of a qualified professional to request and quantify the damage suffered, allows you to reduce time and risk, giving assurance of always getting the right compensation.
