Suicide in the literary work of Cesare Pavese.

On the basis of an existential analysis (Daseinanalyse), the authors consider the suicide, at age 42, of Cesare Pavese, one of the most important Italian poets and writers of the post-World War II period. It is found that in his poems, his novels, and particularly his letters and diary the idea of suicide was present in his consciousness since adolescence; year by year it is possible to follow the development of his ideas and fantasies about suicide. Incapable of establishing authentic communication with others, Pavese narrowed his existential horizon to the point of being less and less capable of living in the world and projecting himself into the future. From these considerations it is concluded that Pavese's acute feeling of incapacity caused him to have lasting experiences of failure that brought him to view suicide as the only way to free himself from his own torment.

[Juvenile Pick's disease: clinical study].

The Authors discuss the case of a 23-year-old man who manifested the characteristic symptomatology of a progressive mental deterioration and disorders in behaviour displaying themselves as apathy, speechlessness, progressive detachment from environment and considerable slovenliness. It has been also emphasized a situation which suggest Kleist's melokinetic apraxia. In addition to usual routine laboratory studies, the patient underwent a EEG, an encephalography and psychodiagnostic investigations executed by a means of series of tests in order to ascertain his intellectual efficiency and outline his psychological profile. On the basis of the investigations made and after a discussion concerning possible differential diagnoses, the Authors have reached the conclusion that it is an uncommon case of juvenile Pick's disease.

[Use of diadynamic currents for analgesia in dentistry. Preliminary note].

In this article the authors have taken in to account the use of diadynamic currents with antalgic aim in odontostomatologic surgery. Based on clinical results in a number of cases, which cannot be analysed statistically due to insufficient number of patients to provide reliable data, the authors conclude that the results obtained justify further research in this field.

[Use of NSAIDS in dentistry: double blind controlled study of Diflunisal versus ASA].

As a conclusion to the results obtained during our studies, we can say that both drugs provided fast and accurate antalgic anti-inflammatory characteristics. Diflunisal has however shown a slightly more powerful and larger lasting antalgic action which provides a higher tolerance level than the drug which was used as a comparison.
