Decision making under risk entails the anticipation of prospective outcomes, typically leading to greater sensitivity losses than gains known as loss aversion. Previous studies on neural bases choice-outcome and aversion provided inconsistent results, showing either bidirectional mesolimbic responses activation for deactivation losses, or a specific amygdala involvement in processing losses. Here we focused with aim address interindividual differences anticipation. Fifty-six healthy human...
Autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons (IFN-Is) can underlie infection severity. Here, we trace the development of these autoantibodies at high-resolution using longitudinal samples from 1,876 well-treated individuals living with HIV over a 35-year period. Similar to general populations, ∼1.9% acquired anti-IFN-I as they aged (median onset ∼63 years). Once detected, persisted lifelong, and titers increased decades. Individuals developed distinct non-neutralizing autoantibody...
In 4 studies, the authors examined antecedents of self-definition as either a unique individual (the self) or an interchangeable group member collective self). Accentuation perceived similarities versus differences among in-group members including self served main indicator participants' relative emphasis on their self. Following prior work in social identity and self-categorization theory tradition, predicted found systematic variations Relative varied with valence temporarily salient...
<b>Background and study aim:</b> Precut sphincterotomy is a technique usually employed for difficult biliary cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) the treatment of bile duct disease. It validated risk factor post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), but it not clear whether related to itself or repeated attempts preceding it. The primary aim was assess incidence PEP in early precut compared with standard patients cannulation. Secondary aims were compare complications...

Abstract Background A recent study showed that implant‐prosthetic rehabilitation in well‐controlled HIV patients gave slightly worse results than an healthy population, and failures were all linked to infection. Purpose The aim of this was examine the associations between success treatment systemic CD4 + level, smoking habits, oral hygiene. Materials Methods This mono‐centric included with a stable disease good hygiene requiring implant rehabilitation. Each patient received at least one...
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the strength of association between three widely used clinical indexes considered as distal behavioural indicators attitude‐related oral status (an index hygiene, plaque [ PI ] and two periodontal indexes, that is presence bleeding on probing BOP pockets depth PPD ]) secondary implant failure due to peri‐implantitis in patients rehabilitated with cemented prosthesis. Materials Methods The included who underwent implant‐prosthetic rehabilitation had...
Autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons (IFN-Is; IFNα or IFNω) exacerbate severe viral disease, but specific treatments are unavailable. With footprint profiling, we delineate two dominant IFN-I faces commonly recognized by autoantibody–containing plasmas from aged individuals with HIV-1 and COVID-19. These overlap regions independently essential for engaging the IFNAR1/IFNAR2 heterodimer, efficiently block interaction of both receptor subunits in vitro. In contrast, non-neutralizing...
Syncope as an initial presentation of pulmonary embolism occurs in 10% patients. We compared clinical and instrumental parameters patients with syncope the presenting symptom documented without syncope. Seventy diagnosis apparently stable conditions were evaluated. They divided two groups: 10 (group 1) 60 2). Patients showed a more pronounced tendency to present main artery embolus than (contingency coefficient = 0.301, p < 0.04; one-tailed). However, despite evidence that have significant...
The clinical trial aimed to evaluate the survival of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in controlled HIV-positive patients.This mono-centric study included HIV patients with a stable disease, requiring implant rehabilitation, good oral hygiene. Each patient received at least one dental implant. After 90 days upper jaw and 60 lower jaw, appropriate prosthesis was delivered.Primary outcome measures were prosthetic failures, peri-implant marginal bone level changes (MBLCs), biological...
Key Clinical Message Tooth bleaching is a widespread dental treatment with important psychosocial antecedents and outcomes involved. In the activation of in‐office agents, selective light radiation, that is, diode laser seems to be positive choice decrease time without surface modification no residual tooth sensitivity for maximum effect minimal clinical psychological side effects.

Abstract The present research utilizes an evolutionary framework to investigate the process underlying recent rise of several populist, “strongmen” leaders. Specifically, we propose that when people experience contingent (i.e., impending) ecological threats, their need for cognitive closure is activated, making them desire strong rules a tight society) and be guided by leader. Further, hypothesize cultural tightness, once activated closure, augments peoples’ In two studies, tested our...
