Cost- and time-effectiveness of medico-legal management of healthcare-related infections
Healthcare-acquired infections are due to an exposure to pathogens in the hospital setting and tend to occur within 48 h since the admission or within 3 days from the discharge. Nosocomial infections can often be a source of litigation and compensation claims for patient harm. The aim of our study was to compare two different management policies for medical malpractice claims related to healthcare-acquired infections (MMC) adopted in two differen…
A medico-legal analysis of litigation in cardiology and cardiac surgery
Recent decades have been characterized by an exponential increase in medico-legal litigation and an accentuated interest in healthcare responsibility. This study aims to examine cases of alleged medical negligence in Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery in one of the largest hospitals in north-west Italy, over a 11-year period (2013–2023). The primary objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis between compensation claims initially adv…
Imported criminalisation
This article introduces the concept of “imported criminalisation” within the broader context of diaspora-related conflicts. “Criminalisation” refers to repressive political measures targeting a group, such as an ethnic minority, through legal means. “Imported criminalisation” occurs when a host country adopts the securitisation and criminalisation standards of the country of origin against a diaspora. By examining the Trilateral Memorandum betwee…
Homeland’s future in the Kurdish freedom movement
The concept of homeland embodies the sense of attachment that links a political community to a specific territory. The political meaning embedded in the term 'attachment' underscores that the homeland can be understood as a political-territorial project infused with emotional topographies and geographies. Existing literature predominantly adopts a past-oriented perspective, emphasizing the role of history, origins, and ancestors, in shaping conte…
Unbounding Homeland
This article explores the critical issue of the spatiality of homeland, as emerging from foundational texts and personal accounts of members of the Kurdish Freedom Movement (KFM). The notion of homeland sits at the center of the interweaving of place and identity, but it often suffers from silent statism, which emphasizes a cartographic approach and a definition of homeland space in absolute terms. By connecting work in cultural and political geo…
Nationality Beyond the Nation-State? The Search for Autonomy in Abdullah Öcalan and Otto Bauer
In today’s globalised era, the limitations of the nation-state model are increasingly apparent. This model often demands homogeneity, leading to identity conflicts and separatist demands by national minorities. However, national and cultural identities remain politically relevant, making post-national ambitions difficult to achieve. To address this problem, we compare the thoughts of Otto Bauer and Abdullah Öcalan, who both emphasise overcoming t…
Diaspora as socio-material assemblage
The proliferation of diasporas has expanded the intricate web of political relations on a global scale. Transnationality has increasingly replaced methodological nationalism, and relationality blurred diaspora's boundaries. This article argues for framing diasporas as socio-material assemblages to capture the political agency of diasporas in action in a transnational space. This highlights diasporas' ability to forge their transnational political…
Management of the Medico-Legal Dispute of Healthcare-Related Sars-CoV-2 Infections
Healthcare-related SARS-CoV-2 infection is an issue of particular concern during the pandemic. It has important repercussions on the National Health System, which represents a source of medical-legal health disputes. In the healthcare context, there are reports of negative screening at hospital admission (via nasopharyngeal swabs) and subsequent diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection during hospitalization. Such cases cannot be considered a priori of …
Hospital-Acquired Sars-Cov-2 Infections in Patients
Despite numerous measures to contain the infection and limit its spread, cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections acquired in hospitals have been reported consistently. In this paper, we will address issues of hospital-acquired COVID-19 in hospitalized patients as well as medico-legal implications. After having conducted a literature search, we will report on papers on hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections. Ten scientific papers were selected and conside…
Medical Liability in Cancer Care During Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: The COVID-19 outbreak rapidly became a public health emergency affecting particularly the frail category as cancer patients. This led oncologists to radical changes in patient management, facing the unprecedent issue whether treatments in oncology could be postponed without compromising their efficacy. Purpose: To discuss legal implications in oncology practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Perspective: Treatment delay is not always f…
