Acknowledgements

I would like to thank a friend and colleague, Dr. Giorgio Bosso, whose discussion is always precious and productive. I would also like to thank the intensive care specialist who have dedicated themselves to these clinical cases such as Dr. Loredana Pizzuto, Dr. Daniela Errico and Dr. Antonio Prezioso. Their clinical activity was fundamental in resuscitating these patients. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Fabrizio Anniballi for his contribution in the diagnostic activity.
