Background: Light–dark alternation has always been the strongest external circadian “zeitgeber” for humans. Due to its growing technological preference, our society is quickly transforming toward a progressive “eveningness” (E), with consequences on personal preference (chronotype), depending gender as well. The aim of this study was review available evidence possible relationships between chronotype and gender, relevance disturbances that could negatively impact general health, including...
The vgf gene has been identified as an energy homeostasis regulator. Vgf encodes a 617-aa precursor protein that is processed to yield incompletely characterized panel of neuropeptides. Until now, it was unproved assumption VGF-derived peptides could regulate metabolism. Here, VGF peptide designated TLQP-21 in rat brain extracts by means immunoprecipitation, microcapillary liquid chromatography-tandem MS, and database searching algorithms. Chronic intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection...
During the COVID-19 2020 outbreak, a large body of data has been provided on general management and outcomes hospitalized patients. Yet, relatively little is known characteristics outcome patients managed in Internal Medicine Units (IMU). To address this gap, Italian Society conducted nationwide cohort multicentre study death adult admitted IMU. This assessed 3044 at 41 referral hospitals across Italy from February 3rd to May 8th 2020. Demographics, comorbidities, organ dysfunction,...
Recent evidence supports the occurrence of multiple hormonal and metabolic deficiency syndrome (MHDS) in chronic heart failure (CHF). However, no large observational study has unequivocally demonstrated its impact on CHF progression outcome. The T.O.S.CA. (Trattamento Ormonale nello Scompenso CArdiaco; Hormone Treatment Heart Failure) Registry been specifically designed to test hypothesis that MHDS affects morbidity mortality patients.The is a prospective, multicentre, involving 19 Italian...
The neurotrophin responsive gene vgf is widely expressed in central and peripheral neurones, certain neuroendocrine cell populations. Its encoded VGF precursor protein (proVGF1: 617 amino acids rat, 615 man, > 85% homology) gives rise to several low molecular weight species. We studied a range of neuronal cells, which VGF-processing products were prominent with an apparent 20 10 kDa (VGF20 VGF10, respectively). Such peptides recognized by antibodies specific for the C-terminal rat...
A potentially important factor yet to receive adequate study is the time when hospital falls occur. prior conducted before system-wide introduction of preventive measures revealed a biphasic 24-hour pattern with major peak in morning.The purpose was identify temporal patterning among elderly patients hospitals comprehensive fall prevention programs place.A 4-year observational by local health authority five nonteaching public located province Ferrara, Italy. Fall records involving ages ≥65...
Background: Colds are widespread infectious diseases that affect daily life, increasing healthcare costs and limiting productivity. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects a dietary supplement containing specific probiotic strains (L. plantarum PBS067, L. acidophilus PBS066, B. lactis BL050) on cold symptom relief, immune response enhancement, quality life. Methods This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included 65 healthy volunteers (age range:...
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of death in women. It known that acute CV events exhibit temporal patterns onset, is, seasonal and weekly. We aimed to verify whether such show differences by gender.We analyzed cumulative data from our previous studies dealing with hospital admissions for events, as myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), aortic diseases (AD), pulmonary embolism (PE), region Emilia-Romagna (RER) Italy (ICDM9-CM codes, years...
