Revisione sistematica sui determinanti di esitazione vaccinale fra gli operatori sanitari
No full textMancata attribuzione del codice fiscale ad un trust autodichiarato: analisi critica alle argomentazioni dell’Amministrazione finanziaria
No full textLa decisione dell’Agenzia delle Entrate di statuire la nullità di un atto pubblico istitutivo di un trust autodichiarato, negando l’attribuzione del codice fiscale, in ragione della coincidenza soggettiva tra le figure del disponente e del trustee, risulta contraria all’ampio riconoscimento che questa tipologia di trust ha nella prassi internazionale, anche alla luce della corretta ricostruzione esegetica dell’art. 2 della convenzione de L’Aja del 1985. Le legittimità del trust autodichiarato discende dal
genuino asservimento del patrimonio segregato, in funzione fiduciaria, ai soli interessi dei beneciari, ovvero allo scopo del trust, risultando del tutto irrilevante il mancato trasferito della massa patrimoniale ad un soggetto terzo. La rigida posizione interpretativa proposta dall’Amministrazione finanziaria impone una revisione dei documenti di prassi esistenti sulla materia e l’adozione di una
prospettiva maggiormente aderente al diritto dei trust e alla giurisprudenza prevalente

A BLOCKCHAIN/CLOUD PRIVACY PERFORMANCE COMPARISON USING AHP METHODOLOGY: A SMART ROAD CASE STUDY
No full textThe GDPR impacts on the design of information systems which process personal data, because it makes mandatory the adoption of the privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default principles. This compliance must be verified along all the design cycle, so that it must be considered as early as possible in the cycle, when alternatives are not yet detailed in the overall design and just general directions of the projects may be available. A comparison between alternatives should be performed, which can only have a qualitative nature, but which involves numerous factors, so a panel of experts is needed to obtained a reliable result. In this paper we propose a AHP-based evaluation approach to examine privacy-related features of alternative information system architectures in the early phases of the design cycle
Development of AI-Based Predictive Models for Osteoporosis Diagnosis in Postmenopausal Women from Panoramic Radiographs
No full text: Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop AI-based predictive models to assess the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women using panoramic radiographs (OPTs). Methods: A total of 301 panoramic radiographs (OPTs) from postmenopausal women were collected and labeled based on DXA-assessed bone mineral density. Of these, 245 OPTs from the Hospital of San Giovanni Rotondo were used for model training and internal testing, while 56 OPTs from the University of Parma served as an external validation set. A mandibular region of interest (ROI) was defined on each image. Predictive models were developed using classical radiomics, deep radiomics, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), evaluated based on AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Results: Among the tested approaches, classical radiomics showed limited predictive ability (AUC = 0.514), whereas deep radiomics using DenseNet-121 features combined with logistic regression achieved the best performance in this group (AUC = 0.722). For end-to-end CNNs, ResNet-50 using a hybrid feature extraction strategy achieved the highest AUC in external validation (AUC = 0.786), with a sensitivity of 90.5%. While internal testing yielded high performance metrics, external validation revealed reduced generalizability, highlighting the challenges of translating AI models into clinical practice. Conclusions: AI-based models show potential for opportunistic osteoporosis screening from OPT images. Although the results are promising, particularly those obtained with deep radiomics and transfer learning strategies, further refinement and validation in larger and more diverse populations are essential before clinical application. These models could support the early, non-invasive identification of at-risk patients, complementing current diagnostic pathways

Current tobacco smoking prevalence in individuals living with eating disorders: A meta-analysis and meta-regression study
No full textObjectives: A growing body of evidence suggests a potential association between tobacco dependence and eating disorders. Given the appetite-suppressing effects of tobacco, its use may be linked to weight control behaviors among individuals with eating disorders. This study aims to review the prevalence of current smoking among individuals diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), or Binge Eating Disorder (BED). Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across international scientific databases to identify eligible studies. Smoking prevalence rates were extracted and aggregated using random-effects models. Meta-regression and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore factors influencing prevalence rates. Results: The final analysis included 30 studies, encompassing 2970 individuals with AN, 5032 with BN, and 7704 with BED. The pooled prevalence of current smoking was 23.4 % for AN, 19.3 % for BN (adjusted for publication bias), and 11.9 % for BED. Meta-regression revealed that studies with higher proportions of female participants and those using non-DSM diagnostic tools reported significantly lower smoking prevalence in BED. Additionally, higher smoking prevalence in BED was observed in North America and in studies with more recent publication years. No significant covariates were identified in the meta-regression models for AN and BN. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings. Conclusion: This meta-analysis highlights elevated current smoking rates among individuals with AN and BN compared to the general population, particularly among women. Smoking may serve as a weight control strategy in these groups, underscoring the need for integrated smoking cessation interventions within eating disorder treatment. The findings also reveal distinct regional and demographic influences on smoking behavior in BED, suggesting a nuanced approach to prevention and intervention across eating disorder subtypes
Caveolin 3 Variant T78M in a Large Family With Brugada Syndrome: Clinical Features and Coexistence of ADRB1 and GRK5 Gene Mutation
No full textAims: Genetic mutations involving sodium channel Nav 1.5 have been linked with Brugada Syndrome (BrS). Caveolin-3(CAV-3) is a protein that could modulate Nav1.5 function. Aim of the study is to characterize a multi-generational family with BrS and CAV-3 gene mutation. Methods and Results: Clinical and genetic investigations were performed. Genetic testing was performed with whole-exome sequencing (WES). Variants found by WES were evaluated in all family members by bidirectional capillary Sanger resequencing. The effect of the mutation was investigated by using in silico prediction of pathogenicity. Index case was a 58-year-old man with BrS, that needed an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) due to resuscitated cardiac arrest. WES of the index case identified a missense mutation p.(Thr78Met) of the CAV3 gene and two additionally variants: ADRB1 p.(Leu353Met) and GRK5 p.(Thr129Met). Six out of 11 family members had BrS ECG and were all CAV-3 mutation carriers. Three family members had CAV-3 mutation and ADRB1 and GRK5 variants. ICD implant was needed in four family members. All patients with CAV-3, ADRB1 and GRK5 gene mutations underwent ICD implant due to cardiac arrest or arrhythmic syncope. Another patient with CAV-3 mutation only, had and ICD implant due to spontaneous BrS type 1 ECG and positive electrophysiological study. Conclusions: Caveolin 3 p.(Thr78Met) gene mutation could be associated with BrS. This mutation if combined with other susceptible BrS gene variations as ADRB1 p.(Leu353Met) and GRK5 p.(Thr129Met), could have an increased arrhythmic risk
