Strategy vs Tragedy in the Crown Era
Tragedy the world is now experiencing its third major epidemic of coronavirus infections. The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, has quickly become a threat to the public health and economy worldwide. As of July 2020, more than 15 million people worldwide have been infected with SARS CoV-2, and COVID-19 has led to more than 600 000 deaths. Strategy currently, there is no specific therapeutic drugs targeting the SARS-CoV-2 and no specific therapeutic agents had demonstrated efficacy in treating patients with COVID-19. Until then, “repurposed” drugs that have been approved for other indications are being used to treat COVID-19 patients. Nevertheless, the efficacy of these treatment regimens remains to be verified by appropriately designed clinical trials.

Rehabilitation in the dynamic stabilization of the lumbosacral spine
Until recently in the field of vertebral surgery, many diseases were managed with surgery of instrumented vertebral stabilization and bone fusion (arthrodesis). Fusion always offered valid and safe results, although at the expense of the abolition of the motility of the spine section which was being operated upon For this reason, when treating degenerative diseases of the lumbosacral spine, the Orthopaedic Clinic of the S. Chiara Hospital in Pisa, introduced the Dynesys® lumbosacral spine dynamic neutralization system to treat patients and spinal diseases with selected indications. Dynesys is a non-fusion elastic system with transpedicular screws and a flexible connector for dynamic stabilization. This is a new method for treating the degenerative disease of the lumbosacral spine which preserves motility at the treated levels. While allowing for movement of the segment at all levels, the Dynesys provides stability to the functional unit, which attains a condition of physiological function compared with the rigid stabilization-arthrodesis.

Psychotherapeutic Diagnostics : Guidelines for the New Standard
into account in particular respect of an intercultural and increasingly g- balized world. For what is experienced as painful, deviant, or troublesome is not only subject to individual perception but also to collective states of - consciousness. The diagnostic process may be understood as a form of translation in so far as a patient’s utterances, be they verbal or nonverbal, are transferred to a new code of understanding, a process every communicator is involved in because, as we all know, there is no such thing as non-communication. If in an empathic relational ? eld we manage to decode a patient’s subjective l- guage including that of her symptoms and distress, a new language will crop up which will ? nally explain the text the patient originally came up with. D- ferent visions entail different actions. At best, translating widens the scope of options of the affected individual and, precedingly, her scope of decisi- making.
