A case of extremely voluminous haematic pseudocyst of the spleen that provoked serious anaemia is reported. Stress is laid on the rarity of the disease and the preoperative diagnostic difficulties. The pathogenesis, pathological anatomy and clinical aspects on splenic pseudocyst are recalled.
In these last few years in the lagoon of Venice the phenomenon of eutrophization has increased. The possibility of turning to an anaerobic digestion of the biomass seems to be interesting. In this view, the following experiment describes a study on the co-digestion of mechanically selected algaebiomass and organic fraction of solid urban waste. The results relevant to both yield parameters and process stability are reported, which have been obtained by monitoring a 3 m3 pilot digestor during a running period of about 85 days, under different working conditions.
A sensibility analysis of the assumed operating conditions is carried out to test its influence on the performance of an anaerobic digestion plant to treat the organic fraction of the wastes of a large food market. The results shows that the filter press is an important equipment in the plant.
