[Weather changes, psychosomatic alterations and myocardial infarct]. / Variazioni meteorologiche, alterazioni psicosomatiche ed infarto miocardico.

Reference is made to the preliminary results of an extensive investigation of the relationship between weather and the incidence of myocardial infarct in Rome hospital patients. An account is offered of the many relations between meteorological and psychic stress on the one hand, and cardiovascular disease on the other. Beta-blocking agents, tranquillisers (benzo-diazepines), and platelet antiaggregants are useful in this connection.

[Relations between athero-arteriosclerosis and chronic liver diseases. Anatomopathological and statistical studies]. / Sui rapporti tra atero-arteriosclerosi ed epatopatie croniche. Indagine anatomopatologica e statistica.

Starting from well known anatomopathological premises and on the basis of relative physiopathological concepts, particularly lipid metabolism and the lipidaemic fractions in patients suffering from chronic hepatopathy and athero-arteriosclerosis, a statistical investigation was carried out into the relations between the two disease conditions on the basis of the anatomopathological material collected over a period of six years in the S. Giovanni and S. Giacomo Hospitals in Rome. The conclusion is that there is a smaller incidence of athero-arteriosclerotic pathology in patients suffering from chronic hepatopathy up to the sixth decade of life.
