Li abbiamo visti martedì scorso e li rivedremo: i malati mobilitati dall’esperto di marketing Davide Vannoni che promette loro una cura senza accettare che nessuno la giudichi. Lui ha l’aspetto del guru: capello lungo con codino, sguardo maliardo e la furia ottusa di chi pensa di poter gabbare la medicina scientifica con qualche furbata.

Mortality trends in Europe have been decreasing in recent years, differently from what happened in the United States with the rise in the so-called “deaths of despair” among low educated middle-aged white Americans. Most of all, such trends in Europe show no interruptions due to the economic crisis. This is the conclusion of a study published on PNAS by LIFEPATH, a project funded by the European Commission, which investigates the biological pathways underlying social differences in healthy ageing.
