Italian guidelines for speech and language therapy in patients with stroke or primary progressive aphasia. Recommendations from the Italian neuropsychological society

Background: Aphasia can be frequently observed after left hemisphere stroke, but also in neurodegenerative diseases, as in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Aphasia strongly impacts on quality of life, and rehabilitation of People with Aphasia (PWA) presents clinicians with comp...

Atmospheric pressure, temperature, and online search activity for epilepsy: A daily time‐series study

Abstract Background Meteorological conditions have been investigated as potential short‐term correlates of epileptic seizures, but findings remain inconsistent. This study examined whether daily meteorological variation was associated with population‐level online information‐seek...

Migraine in Real-World Clinical Practice: Patient Burden, Healthcare Utilization and Unmet Needs—A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the I-GRAINE Study

What are the main findings?Migraine care in Italy is characterized by a mismatch between healthcare resource utilization and clinical needs, with limited primary-care involvement, repeated specialist consultations, and healthcare nomadism.Healthcare resource utilization is substa...

Long‐Term Progression to Permanent Atrial Fibrillation After Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Insights From the Multicenter 1STOP Project

ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) often progresses from paroxysmal to persistent forms, culminating in permanent AF, a transition associated with increased risks of stroke, heart failure, and hospitalization. Cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (CB‐PVI) is an establis...

Epidemiology, impact on oncologic treatments, and management of community-acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections in pediatric onco-hematology patients: a survey among Italian pediatric oncology hematology centres (AIEOP)

Abstract A survey was conducted across Italian Pediatric Onco‑Hematology centres to assess epidemiology of community‑acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections, chemotherapy management, Oseltamivir use and vaccination policies. Most reported infections were mild and managed out...

Mapping HIV infection and sex-based differences among sub-Saharan African migrants in Northeast Italy: a multicenter study

HIV continues to disproportionately affect Sub-Saharan African (SSA) migrants in Italy, who often experience late diagnosis and complex clinical and social challenges. This multicenter cross-sectional study evaluated determinants of poor immunological and virological outcomes and...

Brief communication: Shared parameterisation for estimating snow water equivalent through cosmic ray neutron sensors in the Italian Alps

Abstract. We present a novel approach based on leveraging a shared parameterisation to derive snow water equivalent (SWE) with cosmic ray neutron sensing (CRNS) probes. The network comprises 26 sites (1422–2901 ma.s.l.) in the Italian Alps. The parameterisation was defined by fit...

Predicting the risk of dehydration and readmission among rectal cancer patients with ileostomy: a multicenter observational study

Abstract Dehydration is a frequent complication among rectal cancer patients after ileostomy, often resulting in hospital readmission. The Dehydration Readmission after Ileostomy Prediction (DRIP) score was used to identify patients at risk of dehydration-related readmission. The...

Elements on the move: How ungulate migration expands Alpine biogeochemical footprints

Through depositing waste products, animals influence the spatial distribution of elements across landscapes. Yet the relationship between animal movement and element distribution remains poorly characterized. We developed a spatially explicit agent-based model to test how migrato...
