Several studies have investigated the cognitive profile in patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia (BN); on contrary few evaluated it Binge Eating Disorder (BED). The purpose of this study was to compare decision making, central coherence set-shifting between BED AN patients. A battery neuropsychological tests including Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT), Wisconsin Card Sorting (WCST), Trial Making (TMT) Hayling Sentence Completion (HSCT) were...
Schools, key symbols of progress and innovation, require particular attention regarding energy efficiency, which is considered a strategic priority in sustainable development policies. Improving efficiency schools reduces costs environmental impact while educating students the community about sustainability. Ensuring good air quality thermal comfort also crucial for student well-being performance, resulting improved productivity, health, concentration. This study shows that proper...

During the most recent campaigns (1976–79) carried out at Arslantepe, excavations were concentrated on south-west area of hüyük, where a stratigraphic sequence belonging to period covering end fourth and beginning third millennium was identified; large areas several levels brought light. With reference this two main phases can be clearly recognized: VI A B. The former is characterized by its strong Syro-Mesopotamian connections, latter considerable presence East-Anatolian-Transcaucasian...
Summary Data from large case series of children with cerebral thrombotic events are pivotal to improve prevention, early recognition and treatment these conditions. The Italian Registry Pediatric Thrombosis (R. I. T. I.) was established in 2007 by a multidisciplinary team, aiming for better understanding neonatal paediatric Italy providing preliminary source data the future development specific clinical trials diagnostic-therapeutic protocols.
