[Communication within a neonatal intensive therapy unit].
The existing literature stresses the discomfort fatigue, and tension in the context of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nursing work, which often lead to the so-called "burnt-out syndrome". It is not surprising that this might be prevalent in a department that it deals with children who are at the beginning of their lives but under constant threat of death. In order to overcome the above-mentioned difficulty starting from 1982 the Author arranged weekly meeting with the staff of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Treviglio-Caravaggio Hospital (Bergamo). In this article, it is underlined that, in order for the work to develop, the staff needed to go through various mental states, which could be viewed as "typical phases", the most important resulting the "emotional atmosphere". Only after working through these phases the work group will discover his ability to observe the child as an integrated being with biological and emotional components and so will be able to perform his caring function.

[Gastric lymphomas in old age].
After having examined the literature on the subject, the authors examined 23 cases of lymphoma selected from those admitted to hospital over the past 10 years: 44.78% were Hodgkin and 65.22% non-Hodgkin. They examined the localisation, which was gastric in all cases, associated pathologies and treatment, which was total gastrectomy in 56.52%. Moreover, the authors also considered the quality of life of patients undergoing total gastrectomy which was found to be good in 23.07%, a percentage which is higher than that expressed for other types of surgery (gastric resection) or medical treatment (chemotherapy). In conclusion, the authors affirm that total gastrectomy is worth performing in these patients, even if the percentage of deaths is higher than for gastric resection, given that te quality of life is better in total gastrectomy.
