Background Age-related physiological changes in the gastrointestinal tract, as well modifications lifestyle, nutritional behaviour, and functionality of host immune system, inevitably affect gut microbiota, resulting a greater susceptibility to infections. Methodology/Principal Findings By using Human Intestinal Tract Chip (HITChip) quantitative PCR 16S rRNA genes Bacteria Archaea, we explored age-related differences microbiota composition among young adults, elderly, centenarians, i.e...

We aim to investigate the extent which children of immigrants achieve lower levels academic proficiency in reading and mathematics compared native students compulsory education Italy. Advancing current literature, we a more comprehensive way importance variety individual characteristics accounting for immigrants' penalties. In particular, examine role family structure, parents' socio-economic resources, cultural educational resources students' school-related attitudes behaviour. The...
Sensory and perceptual anomalies may have a major impact on basic cognitive social skills in humans. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) represents special perspective to explore this relationship, being characterized by both these features. The present study employed electroencephalography (EEG) test whether detail-oriented visual perception, recognized hallmark of ASD, is associated with altered neural oscillations functional connectivity the beta frequency band, considering its role feedback...

: Cognitive status evaluation is not routine in the acute stroke setting and there no consensus on which neuropsychological tool more feasible informative. The aim of this pilot study was to compare feasibility acceptability two brief cognitive tests, Montreal Assessment (MoCA) Oxford Screen (OCS), stroke, with a focus patients' experience, administration time, data obtained. Patients diagnosis ischemic or hemorrhagic transient attack admitted units were included. sample consisted 34...
Abstract Sensory and perceptual anomalies have been increasingly recognized as core phenotypic markers for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A neurophysiological characterization of these is utmost importance to understand more complex behavioural manifestations within the spectrum. The present study employed electroencephalography (EEG) test whether detail-oriented visual perception, a hallmark ASD, associated with altered neural oscillations functional connectivity in beta (and alpha)...
Stroke causes severe long-term disabilities with a significant reduction in quality of life. This study aims to explore the predictive value cognitive screening acute phase mild stroke on patients' functional outcome after discharge. A total 110 patients were recruited. Patients included if they discharged directly home from units. The profile was assessed Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS). OCS administered 3-10 days stroke, providing five domain-specific profile. Long-term outcomes evaluated by...
The aim of this study was to achieve a consensus on the minimum set outcome measures and predictors be used in neurosurgical practice timing assessment.A building approach employed. All departments Lombardy (Italy) were invited participate by Carlo Besta Neurologic Institute IRCCS Foundation. Three workshops organized during which multidisciplinary group called Neurosurgical Outcome Network (NEON) created methodology select measures, predictors, assessment established. Eight working groups...
