Perinatal depression (PND) is a common complication of pregnancy associated with serious health consequences for both mothers and their babies. Identifying risk factors PND key to early detect women at increased developing this condition. We applied machine learning (ML) approach data from multicenter cohort study on sleep mood changes during the perinatal period ("Life-ON") derive models prediction in cross-validation setting. A wide range sociodemographic variables, blood-based biomarkers,...
Insomnia persists as a prevalent sleep disorder among middle-aged and older adults, significantly impacting quality of life increasing susceptibility to age-related diseases. It is classified into objective insomnia (O-IN) paradoxical (P-IN), where subjective assessments diverge. Current treatment regimens for both patient groups yield unsatisfactory outcomes. Consequently, investigating the neurophysiological distinctions between P-IN O-IN imperative devising novel precision interventions...
Objectives: Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) represents the best method of protection during surgery thoracic aorta. However, brain integrity and metabolism after antegrade have not yet been investigated. We assessed positron emission tomography (PET), diffusion-weighted imaging, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy cognitive functions in patients undergoing either ASCP or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to elucidate whether was associated with postoperative neuronal...
Perinatal depression (PND) is a severe complication of pregnancy, but there are no established risk factors predicting the disease. Evening chronotype has been associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits and adverse outcomes during pregnancy. In this study, we aimed to clarify whether can predict symptoms and/or occurrence PND.Two hundred ninety-nine women were followed-up from first trimester pregnancy until 6 months postpartum. Chronotype was assessed at baseline using MEQ, while mood...
We report the clinical findings and neuropsychological profiles of a sample patients exhibiting focal retrograde amnesia (FRA) seen consecutively during period 1992–2007. The cohort comprised 13 patients, five males, with mean age 30 years (range 16–49). They were given neurologic examination, psychiatric interview formal examination (all but one) amnesic phase, underwent neuroimaging, followed up for six months to ten years. All presented an acute characterized by impaired recollection...

We describe three patients exhibiting an acute reversible amnesia characterised by impaired recollection of past events with preserved anterograde memory, thus consistent a focal retrograde (FRA). This occurred after variable events: state fugue, road accident, post-traumatic headache. Retrograde affected autobiographical memory so severely as to cover all the patients' lives and erase knowledge their own identity. The retrieval public was variably affected, ranging from normality severe...
The primary aim of the study was to evaluate role [18F]Fluciclovine PET/CT in characterization intra-prostatic lesions high-risk PCa patients eligible for radical prostatectomy, comparison with conventional [11C]Choline and validated by prostatectomy pathologic examination. Secondary aims were determine performance PET semi-quantitative parameters (SUVmax; target-to-background ratios [TBRs], using abdominal aorta, bone marrow liver as backgrounds) malignant lesion detection (and best cut-off...
This study aimed to assess the concordance of various psychometric scales in detecting Perinatal Depression (PND) risk and diagnosis. A cohort 432 women was assessed at 10-15th 23-25th gestational weeks, 33-40 days 180-195 after delivery using Edinburgh Postnatal Scale (EPDS), Visual Analogue (VAS), Hamilton Rating (HDRS), Montgomery-Åsberg (MADRS), Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient used agreement across instruments, multivariable...
