An adrenergic central control on fusimotor activity has been demonstrated since 1954. At peripheral level, a muscle spindle autonomic innervation is not clearly demonstrated in man, but several data seem to suggest a direct autonomic innervation of muscle spindle in cats and rabbits. Data obtained in patients with peripheral adrenergic denervation (Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension) suggest a prevalent control of central adrenergic pathways on muscle spindle sensitivity.

[Dermatopathies in those engaged in domestic work and related risks].

The AA., considering the skin diseases in the subjects employed in the domestic work and similar activity, in a more ample table of general medicine, produced a contribution to the study of etiopathogenetic and nosographic problems. They have estimated the role of the individual predisposition and the etiopathogenetic, chemical, physical, biotic, complex factors. They pointed out the various nosographic, skin expressions in range of contact irritant dermatitis, of contact allergic eczema, skin abrasion, of dermatitis by physical agents, of urticaria, of dermal alterations by infectious and parasitic agents and of various dermal, morbid expressions by chemical agents. They reported the direct experience of personal casuistry and called attention on multiple aspects of preventive medicine.

[Antidepressive drugs in children and adolescents].

The aim of the review is to define the specificity of the response to pharmacotherapy in child and adolescent mood disorders. Methodological issues, nosographic definitions and developmental modifications in neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors are discussed; these three factors can account for the apparent inefficacy of antidepressive pharmacotherapy in children and adolescents. Specific indications, dosage and administration, side effects and the clinical examinations to prevent them, are analyzed for the following antidepressants: tricyclics, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, lithium, anticonvulsants, trazadone, benzamides.
