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.

home automation is the discipline that for several years now has been dealing with the study of the most innovative technologies aimed at improving the comfort and efficiency of a home and more generally of living and working environments in general. “Today thanks to a home automation system it is possible to automate the management of electrical systems, appliances and all appliances operating in the home with extreme simplicity”, says Berardo D’Agostino, founder of “Dabel Elettroimpianti”, a company that for years has imposed its leadership in the reference market (that of civil, industrial and commercial electrical systems) thanks to the high quality of the services offered to its customers.
Dr. D’Agostino, what changes compared to a traditional electrical installation?
Thanks to domotics, we find ourselves in front of a smart house, an intelligent environment that makes systems and automated functions available to those who live far beyond the traditional ones: check if we have left the lights on or the windows open, avoid uncoupling of the electricity meter when too many household appliances are used at the same time, it receives guests by activating really suggestive light scenarios, activates the alarm at set times, closes water and gas in case of danger. In short, a synergy capable of increasing comfort, energy savings and safety!
Thanks to technological progress, new functions have been introduced, such as?
The possibility of being able to manage and view everything completely from a smartphone, tablet and PC, sitting comfortably on a sofa or on a beach on the other side of the world. So the possibility of managing the entire burglar alarm system, the video surveillance system and air conditioning, just to mention a few examples. Moreover, the wide range of solutions offered by a home automation system can be increased over time to meet the needs in continuous evolution, without having to intervene with further masonry work.
What are your strengths compared to competitors?
The experience gained in over 35 years of activity allows us to create a wide range of customized solutions, to offer our customers the comfort and safety they have always dreamed of!

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.

Concetto Saffioti, one of the owners and founders, tells the story of the first wine-bar in Rome
Present in Rome since 1977, for over 40 years, the Enoteca Cul De Sac stands out for an encyclopedic wine proposal, which has allowed it to become over time an important point of reference for lovers, connoisseurs and beginners who love good wine and of the typical dishes of the Roman, Calabrian and ethnic tradition. Strategically located in Piazza Pasquino, in front of one of the “talking” statues of Rome, the wine shop – which was the first wine bar in the capital – still remains an original and welcoming place – with furniture that recalls the wooden wagons of the 1960s trains – where you can find a wide and reasoned selection of wines and spirits. Precious labels coming from everywhere, both from the main production areas and from the less known or emerging ones; sophisticated bottles, the result of limited production, able to satisfy all the wishes and curiosities of their customers.
Saffioti concept, what are the strengths of your wine shop?
The reasons for the success of our enoteca-trattoria are varied and are to be found both in the professionalism of the service offered and in the meticulousness with which fine wines are chosen and offered, which represent an important part of the history of Italian, European and world wine culture. A careful and scrupulous selection, which allowed the wine shop to gather over the years the best wine productions not only of the great historical and renowned wineries, but also of small producers of excellent quality. The bottles opened every month are 2200, about 25 thousand a year. The labels available are 1500 but, with the annual turnover, we arrive at a choice of about 2700 wines. The large and impressive wine list, rigorously articulated in the various regions of origin, provides some important information on the main characteristics of this precious nectar of the gods, praised over the centuries by poets, writers and artists (area of production, blends and main organoleptic characteristics.
And what about the gastronomic specialties offered?
Our gastronomic specialties – the result of a selection of raw materials and a craftsmanship attentive to the harmony of the combinations – betray the multiethnic origin of the 4 partners (French, Egyptian, Armenian and Italian). Leafing through the menu, the typical dishes such as the “Topik” (chickpea and potato bundle with raisins and pine nuts), the Babaghannush (eggplant puree with sesame) and the dishes of the traditional Roman cuisine, such as the Involtini and the Roman Tripe, the Coda alla vaccinara and the Meatballs in wine. Flavors, scents and colors that characterize a cuisine made of passion that can delight even the most demanding palates.
Donald Trump abruptly ended a critical meeting with Democratic leaders on Wednesday, calling it a “total waste of time” as the partial shutdown of the US government dragged into its 19th day with no end in sight.
The further deterioration of negotiations over the funding lapse affecting nearly 800,000 federal employees came a day after the president used his first address from the Oval Office to reinforce his demands for a wall along the southern border with Mexico.
Schumer, offering his version of events, told reporters outside of the White House that “the president just got up and walked out”.
“He asked Speaker Pelosi: ‘Will you agree to my wall?’ She said no, and he just got up and said we have nothing to discuss and walked out,” Schumer said. “Again, we saw a temper-tantrum because he couldn’t get his way.”
The meeting followed a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill, during which Trump urged Republicans to “stick together”.
A handful of Republicans have expressed concerns over the longevity of the shutdown. At least three Republican senators – Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Susan Collins of Maine – have said they would support reopening the government without funding for the wall.
But emerging from the private meeting with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill, Trump showed no sign of backing down while threatening to declare a national emergency if a breakthrough is not found.
“The Republicans are totally unified,” Trump said. “We talked about strategy, but they’re with us all the way.”
“He gave no indication of any willingness to budge an inch,” said John Kennedy, a Republican of Louisiana. “The president – and I happen to agree with him – believes that his only sin is that for the first time in 15 or 20 years he is actually enforcing America’s immigration laws.”
The shutdown, the third under Trump’s watch, is the longest since 1995 and has forced the closure of national parks, placed certain food and drug inspections on hold, and sparked concerns over air travel.
Before their meeting with Trump, Schumer and Pelosi held an event with furloughed federal workers in a bid to highlight the impact of the shutdown.
“To use them as hostages through a temper tantrum by the president is just so wrong, so unfair, so mean-spirited,” Schumer said. “It ought to end and it ought to end now.”
Trump offered no new solutions at a nationwide televised address on Tuesday evening, but instead insisted that a wall was necessary to stem the flow of illegal immigration.
In a speech full of false claims and misleading statistics, Trump painted a portrait of a crisis at the US-Mexico border even as the rate of illegal immigration has steadily fallen over the years and in 2018 reached its lowest point in more than a decade.
Talks have remained at a stalemate over the president’s insistence that any government funding bill include $5.7bn toward the construction of a border wall.
Democrats, newly in control of the House of Representatives, have said they will not allocate any money toward the wall, which remains a popular concept within Trump’s base but has little support from the broader American public.
Although he stopped short of declaring a “national emergency” in his televised address, Trump insisted on Wednesday he had the “absolute right” to do so.
“I think we might work a deal, and if we don’t, I may go that route,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “My threshold will be if I can’t make a deal with people that are unreasonable.”
Asked about the federal workers who were going without pay, Trump said: “They’re all going to get the money and I think they’re going to be happy.
“Many of those people that you’re talking about are on my side.”
There is no evidence to support the notion that federal workers support a border wall or Trump’s position amid the shutdown. It is also not clear if those who were either working or furloughed without pay would eventually be compensated.
Democrats, in a bid to amplify pressure on the White House and Senate Republicans, began a series of House votes on Wednesday to reopen the government one department at a time, beginning with passing a bill to reopen the Treasury, the Internal Revenue service and some other federal agencies.
However, Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, has signaled the bills would hit a dead end in the upper chamber.
“We are all behind the president,” McConnell told reporters with Trump by his side.
Without a resolution, the closure of several government operations could soon pose a threat to the delivery of food stamps and tax refunds for millions of Americans.
Clifton Buchanan, a cook supervisor with the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Houston, is among the hundreds of thousands of federal employees who have been furloughed since 21 December 2018, when parts of the government shut down.

Buchanan, who participated in the press conference with Democrats, turned 50 on Friday. But instead of celebrating the milestone, he sat around the kitchen table with his wife discussing which bills they could afford to pay without his income.
He said: “Right now I’m just trying to figure out how to pay my bills and feed my family. I’m not working. I’m not getting paid. I can’t pick and choose who to blame. I just know I have no income.”
As 2019 begins…
… we’re asking readers to make a new year contribution in support of The Guardian’s independent journalism.
Three years ago we set out to make The Guardian sustainable by deepening our relationship with our readers. The same technologies that connected us with a global audience had also shifted advertising revenues away from news publishers. We decided to seek an approach that would allow us to keep our journalism open and accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live or what they can afford.
More than one million readers have now supported our independent, investigative journalism through contributions, membership or subscriptions, which has played such an important part in helping The Guardian overcome a perilous financial situation globally. We want to thank you for all of your support. But we have to maintain and build on that support for every year to come.
Sustained support from our readers enables us to continue pursuing difficult stories in challenging times of political upheaval, when factual reporting has never been more critical. The Guardian is editorially independent – our journalism is free from commercial bias and not influenced by billionaire owners, politicians or shareholders. No one edits our editor. No one steers our opinion. This is important because it enables us to give a voice to those less heard, challenge the powerful and hold them to account. Readers’ support means we can continue bringing The Guardian’s independent journalism to the world.
Please make a new year contribution today to help us deliver the independent journalism the world needs for 2019 and beyond. Support The Guardian from as little as €1 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
