In recent years, couples who use MAP to have a child have increased. Dr. Galliano, director of the only IVI center in Italy, is present in Rome

According to the most updated data of the National Registry of Medically Assisted Reproduction, in 2015 over 74 thousand couples resorted to assisted fertilization, compared to 69 thousand in 2010. This shows an increase in the number of people who in recent years have turned to the MAP for crown the desire to have a child. The Valencian Infertility Institute (IVI) is the largest assisted reproduction group in the world, with over 70 clinics in 13 countries, and is also present in Rome since 2015. Dr. Daniela Galliano is the Director of the IVI Center in Italy.

Dr. Galliano, why do more couples turn to assisted fertilization?

Infertility is a growing phenomenon, involving around 15% of couples today. Surely one of the most important factors concerns the advanced age of the search for the first child, but also incorrect habits such as the use of drugs, smoking and alcohol abuse affect fertility. Factors such as excessive thinness, obesity, sexual infections and diseases such as endometriosis can also cause an impossibility to conceive a child naturally.

What can be done if a possible infertility is suspected?

In IVI, a specialized team analyzes the case of each patient in a personalized manner. It is important to carry out an analysis of the clinical history of both members of the couple, to understand where the problem of infertility comes from. Following the evaluation of the results of specific examinations, the same specialist will advise the most appropriate treatment to follow.

What are the MAP treatments you can undergo?

At IVI centres all the medically assisted reproductive treatments available are currently available: artificial insemination, oocyte vitrification, in vitro fertilization both homologous and heterologous with conventional technique and ICSI, availing also of the most advanced technology such as Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis ( DGP), EmbryoScope®, MAC, Nace and Nace Plus. In Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (DGP) IVI was a pioneer. This technique consists in diagnosing genetic and chromosomal diseases in the embryo stage, therefore before implanting in the maternal uterus, thus avoiding that the unborn is affected by genetic diseases that can be diagnosed. Thanks to all this, 9 out of 10 couples who have turned to IVI for infertility problems have reached their goal. In addition, IVI has recently launched the new IVI Baby program, a concept that was created with the aim of offering patients the peace and security of seeing their baby born. With IVI Baby, if pregnancy does not end with the birth of a child, IVI will proceed to return the amount spent.

The new frontiers of minimally invasive surgery …

Latest generation technologies and high-specialty services and assistance complexities: these are the distinctive features of the San Michele Nursing Home, an excellence in the national healthcare scene. In addition, sixty years of life, the health structure of Maddaloni has invested heavily in technological innovation, becoming one of the most virtuous centers in Italy, thanks to the modern diagnostic equipment and the high skills of a high-level medical staff, involved in interventions increasingly minimally invasive. It is no coincidence that the President, Dr. Crescenzo Barletta, focuses on the promotion and management of increasingly high-complexity care services, within specific operational realities, making the centrality of the person the founding value of the Clinic.

Dr. Barletta, in recent years minimally invasive surgery has been applied with excellent clinical results in all medical branches. What goals have you achieved in the cardiac surgery field?

The line drawn in recent years is to practice in a routine way the mini-invasive techniques, which through small cuts compared to the complete opening of the sternal bone, allow to perform aortocoronary by-pass, replacements and repairs of the heart valves, removal of heart tumors, repair of congenital defects, aneurysms of the aorta and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. This type of approach allows to reduce the surgical traumatism allowing a rapid postoperative recovery, the reduction of pain and some complications related to the intervention such as infections and the need for transfusion, and to be able to operate patients who were previously condemned to die without treatment. The project was made possible by the collaboration of expert tutors, all prominent figures in mini-invasive cardiac surgery.

Beyond the cutting-edge techniques, are technological innovations also the basis of such flattering results?

The most advanced quality standards can only be achieved with an efficient and constantly evolving health organization combined with investments in high technology. On 26 October 2015, in the presence of Governor De Luca, the first hybrid hall in Southern Italy was inaugurated with Siemens technology. It is a multifunctional operating room, which allows to perform advanced cardiovascular procedures and traditional surgery and / or minimally invasive surgery with haemodynamic methods within the same operating environment, ensuring the patient the greatest possible safety. Also in 2015, for the first time in the Center-South and for the second time in Italy, another revolutionary equipment was inaugurated: “Rhythmia” by Boston Scientific. This is an extremely innovative instrumentation that has opened new avenues for the treatment of complex arrhythmias, allowing 3D cardiac mapping with parameters of visualization and definition of images never achieved before. Recently, thanks to the 3D Rhythmia mapping system, for the first time in Central and Southern Italy, our electrophysiology and electrostimulation service coordinator, dr. Antonio De Simone, has successfully performed the treatment of the “Brugada Syndrome”, a disease that alters the heart rhythm, causing palpitations, syncope, ventricular arrhythmias and, in the most serious cases, cardiac arrest. This new technique of ablation (coagulation necrosis by radiofrequency) is practiced by few centers in the world.

Activities of high complexity and minimally invasive techniques are also present in other departments. What are the benefits for patients?

The significant clinical and aesthetic benefits are mainly linked to the minor surgical trauma, to a faster and less painful post-operative course, to a lower incidence of infectious complications, and ultimately to a faster reintegration into the social and working life of the patient. My son Virgilio, head of the department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, is one of the few, in Italy, to practice the front access route in prosthetic hip surgery (Daa). This technique, which respects the anatomical integrity of the treated tissues, is decidedly less traumatic for the patient. For years, the surgeons of the San Michele Clinic, coordinated by dr. Lucio Delli Veneri, head of the General Surgery Operating Unit, uses “gentle” surgery for the treatment of various diseases, such as those concerning the gallbladder and biliary tract, achalasia, hiatal hernia, thyroid, cancer of the stomach and that of the colon.

Always with a view to increasing less invasive techniques compared to standard surgical methods in the treatment of cancer, and not only that, in 2017 we inaugurated an operating room dedicated to Interventional Radiology. Contact person is the dr. Renato Regine, thanks to the close collaboration with the departments of the surgical group, has successfully treated pulmonary, hepatic and renal metastases, embolized uterine myomas and other types of neoplasia, without surgical cuts and with increasingly personalized therapeutic approaches.

Technology at the service of the patient …

Digital technologies are rapidly emerging even in modern dentistry: computerized procedures, latest-generation materials and increasingly accurate diagnostic tools are opening the way to new therapeutic horizons, thanks to which patients can achieve truly extraordinary results. New and sophisticated tools such as intra / extraoral scanners, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (Cbct), Cad-Cam software and innovative manufacturing techniques (3D printing and stereolithography) are radically changing the way patients are treated, and their perception of interventional methods, always less aggressive and invasive. To illustrate the latest frontiers of modern dentistry is the dott. Maurizio Macrì, well known dentist in Naples, specialized in complex prosthetic rehabilitations in all-ceramic, implanta-prosthesis, gnathology and in prevention of oral cancer with the use of a modern cytology sampling method for scarifying the area to be examined. With the Department of Structures of the University of Naples, through a research convention, he is planning to study innovative systems of mechanical optimization to customize prosthetic implants and increase their resistance, also taking advantage of the most modern 3D printing techniques.

Dr. Macrì, what technologies can the patient benefit from today?

In recent years there has been an extraordinary spread of digital technologies and clinicians have therefore had to change their way of thinking and working. In this revolutionary scenario, the most advanced dental practices will use a 3D printer in their working routine, thanks to which it will be possible to make prosthetic restorations, much more quickly and efficiently than traditional methods. The 3D scan of the dental arches allows, in fact, to acquire perfect images and to make a prosthesis, a implant or a bone graft of biocompatible material “personalized” according to the individual patient, directly in the studio and in a short time. The scans, saved in a real “database”, will allow the professional to preserve over time all the information of each patient’s dental arches, allowing him to realize fixed prosthetic restorations that are completely identical to the natural teeth of each individual person. The step with the technology cannot however be disconnected from the one with the Science: for this reason, thanks to the precious collaboration with the prof. Massimiliano Fraldi (professor of mechanical engineering biological fabrics at the University of Naples Federico II) I started an innovative research project that integrates 3D printing and optimal design of the implants and of the mechanical properties of the materials for dentistry.

Speaking of “revolution” one cannot speak of the new materials used today?

Thanks to increasingly evolved materials (zirconia, integral ceramics, etc.), which guarantee an always better match with the appearance and the original color of natural teeth, it is possible to realize prosthetic restorations that are absolutely biocompatible and integrable, such as to allow a success in long-term and able to minimize the risk of a possible rejection.

Let’s talk about implant surgery: nowadays are more and more minimally invasive techniques spreading?

Absolutely yes. The modern implant surgery, which allows the restoration of a correct masticatory function, aims to ensure the patient, who is facing a prosthetic operation, the least possible pain and the best post-operative course. The modern minimally invasive surgical techniques, which are decidedly not very aggressive, require that for the positioning of the implants it is not even necessary to open a surgical flap (flapless) with the scalpel, thereby minimizing the consequent sutures. These techniques offer numerous advantages: they minimize post-operative pain and the risk of intra and post-operative bleeding and allow the patient the immediate recovery of mouth function and daily and work activities. Also from this point of view, therefore, the continuous progress of science and techniques allows to increase the comfort of the patient. In the case of guided surgery through 3D software, for example, the incisions, if necessary, are done with millimetre precision, and then insert the dental implants in titanium or zirconia. In conclusion, today the dentist seeks personalized and effective care and treatment courses that have the least possible impact from a physical and psychological point of view, increasing comfort and safety in the operating room. In a constantly changing scenario, I believe that the most attentive professionals have the duty to intercept the most advanced requests of Research and to respond enthusiastically to the challenges posed by innovation, to contribute to the well-being of all and to play the role of leading the way dentistry has always played in medicine, especially for the applications of new materials and technologies.

The doctor Sammartino, Surgeon General at the Salvator Mundi International Hospital shows us the news in the care.

Dr. Sammartino, how is inguinal hernia treated today?

The treatment of inguinal hernia is surgical, there are no drugs able to reverse this pathology. The operation is a standardized procedure, which involves the use of prostheses to strengthen the abdominal wall, thus reducing the risk of recurrence.

What kind of prosthesis are used and what techniques do they use to implant them?

There are both reabsorbable and non-resorbable prostheses. The choice depends on the age of the patient, the type of activity performed and the size of the hernia. The intervention can be performed either with traditional technique, under local anesthesia, with an incision of about 6-8 cm at the level of the inguinal region, or with laparoscopic technique, under general anesthesia through three 1 cm incisions on the abdominal wall. The surgery lasts from 30 to 45 minutes and is performed in day hospital. The discharge takes place after a few hours and the patient can resume daily activities after 2 or 3 days.

The hernia of the sports patient requires special treatment?

Obviously yes, because they are often subjects that practice sport at a competitive level and which requires a high physical effort. These patients should be guaranteed an ultra-specialist and multidisciplinary treatment both before and after surgery. The Hernia Center of Salvator Mundi International Hospital was created to meet the needs of patients with abdominal wall hernias and was designed to provide multi-specialist assistance, from diagnosis to rehabilitation.

Doctor Perugia, from the Roman hospital, explains how he changes the treatment of hallux valgus, a widespread disease

In Italy, one in five people suffers from hallux valgus, an increasingly widespread pathology, especially in the female population. To illustrate the very latest frontiers in the treatment of this disease is Doctor and Professor Dario Perugia, Head of UO Foot Surgery at the University Hospital Sant’Andrea in Rome.

How is this pathology treated that in some cases can be really invalidating?

In the initial phases the conservative approach may prove sufficient to attenuate the painful symptomatology and slow down its course. When the symptomatology becomes strongly disabling, it is necessary to intervene surgically. Today there are over 100 interventional techniques: the choice of the most appropriate method is referred to the specialist who, after having carried out an accurate clinical and radiographic evaluation, will use what he considers most appropriate for each individual patient. In other words, “the foot must not adapt to the surgeon’s abilities, but the surgeon must adapt to the degree of deformity of the big toe”.

Percutaneous minimally invasive surgery is the one that offers greater benefits today. Why?

The surgery is performed in day surgery, under local anesthesia and with significantly reduced surgical times compared to open surgery. The correction of the deformity occurs through osteotomies performed without surgical incisions, through small cutaneous holes of a few millimeters. This significantly reduces post-operative pain and allows a faster return to the patient’s daily activities

In what direction is the world of work moving in the era of the new economy and digital transformation? This is explained by Domenico Bocchetti of Area Imprese Network

In the era of the new economy and the digital transformation, the peculiar figure of the “individualist” entrepreneur was almost totally alternated by working groups organized on the concept of “business networks”. They represent a juridical-economic instrument of cooperation between companies that, through the signing of a specific contract, mutually undertake, in implementation of a common program, to collaborate in forms and areas related to their activities, exchanging information and services of an industrial nature, commercial or technological and jointly realizing certain activities pertaining to the object of each company. “The purpose of the network is to identify itself with the objective of following an increasingly globalized market, and consequently with the need to increase, individually and collectively, the innovative capacity and competitiveness of the participating companies, leveraging the introduction of horizontal technologies and sharing of knowledge and strategic resources “, Domenico Bocchetti, well-known accountant of Area Imprese Network, as well as Auditor, Technical Consultant of the Court and Bankruptcy Trustee.

Dott. Bocchetti, what advantages does this legal instrument offer to companies or professionals?

Introduced in the Italian legal system by Law n. 33 of 9 April 2009, the business networks allow small and medium-sized enterprises to overcome the obstacles deriving from their dimensional limits and reach a critical mass to compete globally, in international contexts, safeguarding their individuality. They are, therefore, a legal instrument that generates value for the participating companies that, through collaboration on the net with other companies, can achieve ambitious development objectives, much higher than those that they would be able to pursue by acting alone, optimizing resources and skills and squeezing management costs. A transversal institute capable of combining different features both territorially and technically, starting precisely from the “low”, that is, from common needs of more conscious development and proposition in increasingly saturated markets. “Together we grow better”, favoring the innovation of companies and their coordination to provide customers with services and works that require the most different technologies.

It can therefore be said that the world of business consulting is experiencing a moment of radical metamorphosis: new and urgent needs of a clientele grappling with an unprecedented economic crisis, irremediably weigh on those offering professional services. How?

Nowadays, more and more customers, often, are convinced that their company needs a global consultancy, able to untangle itself in the myriad of obligations with exceptional versatility and competence. The professional world, for its part, has not adapted to this condition, looking for a “professional specificity”, difficult to combine with the varied and articulated needs of its customers.

In this context, Area Imprese Network has been able to stand out. What are its strengths?

Experience and professionalism: these are the distinctive features of a complex, articulated and complete Group, a leader in providing economic, financial and legal advice to micro and medium-sized companies. A team to entrust all the most delicate aspects of business management, from accounting to relationships with banks, customers and suppliers. The ideal partner for those companies that intend to pursue important development and revitalization objectives, and who wish to undertake a path aimed at satisfying the customer from every point of view.
