Emergency medicine: the Italian experience.

The Italian health care system is largely socialized, with priorities and policies established both nationally and regionally. Currently emergency medicine in Italy is practiced mainly by traditional specialists, such as internists and surgeons, and the scope of emergency medicine practice is not as broad as that seen in the United States. However, dedicated training programs in emergency medicine have recently been developed, and it appears that in the future, specially trained emergency physicians will be increasingly available. Emergency medicine is currently viewed as a sub-specialty of internal medicine, and it is unclear whether emergency medicine will be recognized as an independent specialty.

HTLV antibodies in Italian patients with multiple sclerosis.

Several observations indicate that a retrovirus might be involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). We report that the sera from 40 Italian MS patients did not contain antibodies to the human T-lymphotropic type I (HTLV-I) and type III viruses (HTLV-III) at levels detectable by commercial ELISA kits. Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that a distinct retrovirus is the etiologic factor of MS.

[Children and illness].

The authors examined the psychologic reaction on the behavior of 60 children, of 5 to 14 years, affected by acute or chronic illnesses, talking to them personally, and examining 80 free subject drawings made by the ill children. On the basis of the obtained data it is possible to state that every aspect of the disease acquires for the child a different meaning in connection with their own experience, and the psychic development stage and the emotional atmosphere, surrounding them.
