No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. –John Don...

Our last cases of cochlear implants in obliterated or ossified cochleas are presented, and we had described the surgical technique for double-array or compressed system. In our opinion the best surgical method is the combined approach (endoaural with aticotomy view and posterior timpanotomy) for increased promontory view. This technique provides the advantage that it always preserve the posteri...

High-resolution seismoacoustic data represent a useful tool for the investigations of gas-charged sediments occurring beneath seabed through identification diagnostic intrasedimentary features associated with them. Acoustic blanking revealed shallow gas pockets in seismostratigraphic units inner shelf off Northern Cilento promontory. Six main were recognized based on geological interpretation s...

This study aims to assess the characteristics of internal iliac artery and examine correlations between other anatomic structures in pelvis. A cross-sectional was conducted period October 2019 May 2020. Eighteen samples left right arteries were taken from formaldehyde-embalmed female cadavers at Ho Chi Minh City University Medicine Pharmacy Department Anatomy. The showed that origins most locat...

Landscape evolution over the last 8000 years in three areas located along Tuscany, Latium, and Campania coasts (central Tyrrhenian) has been deduced through a morphological, stratigraphical, historical approach considering physical human activity. Between 6000 yr BP, Sea Level Rise (SLR) dominated and, near river mouths, inlets occurred. In Tuscany area, Mt. Argentario was an island to SE of An...

The aim of the present study was to describe the use of the endoscopic-assisted cochlear implantation in cases with an unsuccessful standard surgical technique because of not achieving adequate exposure to the round window (RW). Three patients with a bilateral profound hearing loss were operated using an endoscopic-assisted cochlear implant procedure at our tertiary university referral center b...
