UPDATE DIAGNOSTICO – XII EDIZIONE 22nd – 24th FEBRUARY 2018
In Italy there are a multitude of Clinical Neurophysiology Services that deal with the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies, often interacting with other specialists. Multidisclipinare this approach may lead in practice to the use of inconsistent diagnostic pathways and / or complex and expensive care therapeutic interventions, sometimes inappropriate. The purpose of this meeting is to compare various experts in neuroscience to identify specific diagnostic evaluation and treatment for peripheral neuropathies and other diseases affecting the peripheral nervous system, based on evidence-based medicine criteria. In particular, in the first phase of the event, will present the latest and Modern clinical neurophysiology and ultrasonographic advantage of direct practical demonstrations of equipment (“a small group”) or by discussion of clinical cases. In the second part we will be instead treated the different forms of neuropathy using the type teaching formula “meeting with experts”, coordinated by moderators of clear international experience.

FOREIGN COMMUNITIES IN VENICE
Historically, Venice, gateway to the East, has always welcomed people, cultures and religions. The foreign merchants had their own building, named fondaco (from Arabic فُنْدُق funduq) that was accessible by water: the ground floor was used for storage. It combined the functions of a palace, warehouse, market and restricted living quarters for its population. An example is the Fontego dei Turchi, which the Serenissima destined for Turkish merchants in 1621 and it was used for this purpose right up until 1838.
Now it is home to the Natural History Museum . Visiting the museum is a fascinating experience that brings many different senses into play. In each room, touch, sight and hearing all contribute to our understanding.
The Armenians settled for commerce in Venice since the thirteenth century. In the fifteenth century thanks to Caterino Zen’s embassy at Ussan Cassan, king of Persia and lord of Armenia, their importance grew considerably. In 1496 they built the small church of St. Cross of Armenians, and they enlarged it between 1682 and 1688, year of its consecration. In 1717, Father Mechtiar of Sebaste obtained in concession the island of San Lazzaro: he restored the romanic church and built the convent. Another Armenian site is Palazzo Zenobio, a research centre for Armenian studies.

CARNIVAL OF THE JEWS IN VENICE
In Venice, a secular tradition compares the Venetian Mardi Gras and the Hebraic Feast of Purim that, sometimes, but not this year (28/02-1/03/2018) coincides with the period before Lent.
Purim (fate) has historical origins, it’s the day of deliverance from the destruction planned by Haman, minister of Assuero. It’s a day of feasting and rejoicing, and in the Ghetto of Venice, it was a custom (and partly still is) to dance, wear masks and offer sweets, in a Carnival-like atmosphere.
The stalls used to sell traditional sweets (bise, zuccherini, impade) and a puff-pastry in the shape of donkey’s ears, called Haman’s ears, very similar to the Venetian galani. So, for these similarities, and because Purim is also considered a “time of joy”, the popular tradion talks about the Carnival of the Jews
