Human ageing can be characterized by a profile of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), which are potentially predictors biological age. They used as biomarker risk for age-related inflammatory outcomes, and senescent endothelial cells (ECs) have emerged possible source miRNAs. In this paper, panel four miRNAs including miR-146a-5p, miR-126-3p, miR-21-5p, miR-181a-5p, involved in several pathways related to inflammation, ECs senescence that seem characteristic the healthy phenotype. The levels...
People are living longer, but lifespan increase does not coincide with a boost in health-span.Thus, improving the quality of life older people is priority.Centenarians reach extreme longevity relatively good health status, escaping or delaying fatal strongly invalidating diseases.Therefore, studying processes involved important to explain biological mechanisms and well-being, since knowledge born from this approach can provide valuable information on how slow aging.We performed present study...
It is well known that self-perceived health (SPH), even if it a subjective indicator, significantly associated with objective and quality of life (QoL) in the general population. Whether can be considered an indicator cognitive functioning elderly still open issue. This study used data-driven approach to investigate interrelationship among SPH, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), QoL, answer this question. The sample included information about 12,831 people living Italy, Spain, Greece,...

Objective: the purpose of this study was to compare technical efficiency Italian hospitals at a regional level and examine if differences could be explained by organisational contextual factors. Technical defined as ability operating units evaluated use optimal resource levels for their output.
 Methods: effect external factors explored through second stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Efficiency scores were calculated each hospital using DEA method (Stage I). Through Tobit...
(1) Aim: To assess the attitude toward Lifestyle Medicine and healthy behaviours among students in healthcare area to demonstrate its association psychological well-being; (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study is conducted 508 undergraduates of University Palermo (140 (27.6%) 368 (72.4%) non-healthcare area), during academic year 2018-2019. Psychological well-being measured through two dimensions eudaimonia hedonia, using 10-item Hedonic Eudaimonic Motives for Activities-Revised (HEMA-R)...
The scope of this work was to investigate socioeconomic inequalities among European adults aged 50 or older in chronic diseases and behavioural risk factors for these diseases, namely, smoking habits, obesity physical inactivity, between 2004 2015.
Agriculture 4.0 is gaining more attention, and all companies are thinking about innovating machines to increase income improve the quality of final products. In agro-food sector, there space for innovation, as it far behind industrial sector. This paper reports an industrial-scale study on application innovative system extraction Sicilian EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) both process management product. Based previous studies, authors suggested machine equipped with a SCADA (supervisory control...
Abstract. Postharvest handling of fresh fruit is a potential source bruising and damage, with significant consequences for quality marketability. In the last 30 years, different types impact-recording devices (also called electronic fruits or pseudo-fruits) have been developed aim measuring impacts experienced by during postharvest operations. The this study was to develop test novel wireless instrumented sphere critical points in citrus packing line real-time. non-commercial device based on...
Objective: the aim of our study was to evaluate role stressful events, lifestyles and various socio-environmental factors in beginning ischemic cardiac diseases, together with cardiovascular factors. Materials methods: 64 patients recent ischemia controls matched 1:1, according their sex age, have been evaluated. The required filling clinico-anamnestic reports evaluation using Holmes Rahe scale. Results: 44% who had a heart ischemia, an emotional striking event occurred few days before, 28%...
The machines used in the winemaking process directly affect quality of wine and its nutraceutical properties. Grapes-pressing is a very important step as it may promote presence and/or absence enzymatic processes on must, leading to creation different products terms chemical composition, starting from same grapes. aim study was compare two pressing systems Sauvignon Blanc grapes using an innovative pneumatic discontinuous closed tank press operating modes: traditional mode oxygen inert mode,...
<abstract> <b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> Vis/NIR technology is widely used today to quickly and non-destructively evaluate fruit vegetable qualities, many applications have been found since the 1990s. However, no industrial-scale can further consolidate use of non-destructive techniques in post-harvest processing. This study aims test possibility applying vis/NIR a modern citrus-processing plant assess damage that fruits eventually suffer when they are processed on an industrial scale evolution...
Summary The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the disparities in Italian regions on demand side. In more detail, an attempt will be made find if consumption behaviour households different regions. With mind, Istat's 2000 Family Budget data set was analysed. question, which were collected through a two‐stage sample over Italy's 20 regions, contains information regarding expenses approximately 23,000 households. analysis, both and are considered as units: nested so that basic structure...
