Translation, Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Italian Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire‐Parent Form (I‐ FAQLQ ‐ PF )

Summary The Italian FAQLQ‐PF demonstrated excellent reliability in parents of children with food allergy. The Italian FAQLQ‐PF discriminated clinically relevant differences in food allergy‐related quality of life.

Ethical and governance challenges in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a scoping review and practical framework for clinical and system-level decision-making

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced life-sustaining therapy used in selected patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. Its increasing use has raised complex ethical, clinical, organizational, and medico-legal challenges related...

Hit It before It Starts: Targeting a (3 + 1) Hybrid Non-canonical G-Quadruplex to Silence PARP1 in Cancer

Abstract Error-prone DNA repair pathways promote genomic instability and cancer progression. Notably, Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1)-directed alternative non-homologous end joining plays a pivotal role in cancer, including Multiple Myeloma (MM), conferring vulnerability to...

Exploring Professional Experiences in Caring for Vulnerable Migrants in an Italian Rural Reception Centre: A Qualitative Study Using Multidimensional Textual Analysis—Professional Experiences in Rural Migrant Care

ABSTRACT Aim This study aims to explore the experiences, strengths, challenges, and potential improvements for professionals in managing the complex needs of vulnerable migrants (VM) in an Italian rural reception centre. Methods A qualitative study using semi‐structured interview...

Five Conserved microRNAs Dominate the Small-RNA Pool of Three Arid-Zone Camel-Forage Plants: De Novo Repertoires and a Species-Matched Test of Cross-Kingdom Targeting in the Dromedary

Background: Camel husbandry underpins food security in drylands, and dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) milk is valued as a functional food whose composition is thought to be shaped by the desert forage that camels browse. Dietary plant microRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed as one m...

Once-weekly oral islatravir plus lenacapavir: clinical considerations for individualized use

Once-weekly oral islatravir plus lenacapavir represents a promising strategy to expand treatment choice for people with HIV (PWH) who prefer oral therapy without daily dosing. Phase 2 findings provide reassuring evidence of maintained virological suppression and support further c...

Upcycling Spent LiCoO 2 Cathodes via Surface Spinel Reconstruction for Efficient Furfural Hydrogenation

Spent lithium‐ion batteries represent a growing environmental challenge, yet their transition‐metal‐rich cathodes remain largely underutilized as functional materials. We report a direct upcycling strategy in which LiCoO 2 cathodes recovered from end‐of‐life smartphones are trans...

Correlation of polygenic risk score and clinical phenotype in patients with genetic generalized epilepsy

Abstract Objective The polygenic risk score (PRS) for individuals with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) quantifies the common risk variants in genes identified in genome‐wide association studies. We hypothesized that the phenotype of GGE patients differs based on their GGE PRS....

Use of a nanosecond Q-switched 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser for photoaging management in Asian skin: a retrospective study

Facial wrinkles are a major concern in aesthetic dermatology, particularly in patients with darker phototypes, in whom laser treatments require careful parameter selection to minimize pigmentary adverse events. This retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and tolerability...

Multimodal radiomic and foundation-model MRI features converge on basal ganglia patterns in Parkinson’s motor subtypes

Parkinson’s disease (PD) comprises heterogeneous motor phenotypes, most prominently tremor-dominant (TD) and postural instability/gait difficulty (PIGD), which differ in progression, disability burden, and therapeutic response. Despite standardized Movement Disorder Society–Unifi...

Inside and outside the body space: a study on environmental knowledge, interoceptive and functional body representations in the prodromal stage of dementia

BACKGROUND: There is increasing interest in identifying sensitive cognitive markers for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Spatial navigation has emerged as a promising marker, as impairments in both egocentric and allocentric navigation have been reported in precli...

Plant-Derived Compounds as Antibiotic Adjuvants Against Drug-Resistant ESKAPE Pathogens: Mechanisms of Action, Synergistic Strategies, and Translational Challenges

Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance among ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogens has become a major global health threat, significantly reducing t...

Heart Rate Variability in Heart Failure: Mechanisms, Prognostic Value and Modulation Strategies

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive marker of cardiac autonomic regulation that reflects the dynamic interaction between sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on the sinoatrial node. Reduced HRV is a hallmark of autonomic dysfunction and has been consistently asso...

Protective Effects of a Polyphenolic Fraction of Bergamot in Improving the Welfare Index in Honeybees (Apis mellifera) Co-Exposed to Deltamethrin and Flupyradifurone: A Laboratory Cage Study

The simultaneous presence of multiple pesticide residues in the environment impairs honeybee health and survival. The toxicological interactions could result in additive, synergistic, or antagonistic effects as documented in previous studies. In most cases, the co-exposure produc...

Facial Vascular Lesions Treated with a 532-nm Laser: A Case Series and a Targeted Literature Review

Background: Superficial facial vascular lesions such as telangiectasia and persistent erythema are common, and 532-nm laser platforms are widely used, although published evidence is heterogeneous. Our primary aim is to illustrate, in practical terms, how a 532-nm laser is applied...
