Digital native students using nutritional apps: are they more adherent to a mediterranean diet model? Results from the good APPetite survey
No full textReading and understanding food labels are crucial steps in healthy dietary choices. Nutritionrelated applications (n-apps) have increased in the recent years and the aim of this study was
to assess the use and the perception of n-apps among a population of university students, also
investigating the attitude and relationship with reading food labels and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (Medi-Lite score).
In 2023, 316 students, mainly attending the courses of Medicine, Pharmacy and Dietetics at the
University of Brescia, Italy, completed an anonymous and specifically designed survey. 33.9% of
the students stated that they use or have used n-apps. The most used apps were Yuka, MyFitnessPal, Fat Secret and Yazio, especially for the ease of use, speed, nutritional values estimation
and barcode reading. 53.2% and 53.5% of the students declared to be food information and
nutrition label readers respectively and the Medi-Lite mean value was 9.98 ± 2.46. N-app-users
were significantly more attentive to food information and nutrition label than app not-users (both
p < 0.0001) and recorded a Medi-Lite score significantly higher (p = 0.0131).
The present study found for the first time an extensive correlation between the use of n-apps,
the food labels awareness and healthy eating habits in a digitally native population

Epidemiologia degli incidenti domestici: analisi degli accessi presso il Pronto Soccorso dell'Ospedale Civile Maggiore (OCM) di Verona
No full textINTRODUZIONE: Gli incidenti domestici (ID) (avvenuti nella residenza abitativa
e nelle sue pertinenze: scale esterne, giardini, cantine, garage, etc.),
rappresentano un problema sociale e di sanità pubblica, in termini di vite
umane, invalidità e assistenza sanitaria. In Italia si stima che ogni anno ci
siano 1.300.000-1.700.000 accessi in PS per incidente domestico e 130.000
ricoveri, tuttavia i dati sono ancora incompleti e frammentari. Con uno studio
del fenomeno nella nostra area geografica si sono valutate: prevalenza,
caratteristiche ed eventuali interventi preventivi.
MATERIALI E METODI: Nel 2007 al PS dell’O.C.M. di Verona si sono registrati
3120 accessi per ID. La distribuzione è stata calcolata in relazione a: sesso,
età, mese, codice d’urgenza, tipo e sede del trauma.
RISULTATI: Emerge che i gruppi di popolazione più a rischio di ID sono i bambini
in età pre-scolare, gli uomini tra i 30 e i 40 anni e le donne sopra i 60 anni, con
un’incidenza annuale abbastanza omogenea. I due sessi hanno distribuzioni
simili fino ai 50 anni; in seguito vi è un aumento nelle femmine e una diminuzione
nei maschi. I traumi sono generalmente lievi (49,8% codici bianchi e 42,1%
codici verdi). La sede più colpita è rappresentata da mani e polsi (25,9%). Le
lesioni a più frequenti negli uomini sono: ferite alle mani (7,12%), corpi estranei
negli occhi (5,6%); nelle donne: fratture di mani e piedi (4,23% e 5,90% contro
l’1,76% e il 2,98% degli uomini). Il 5,7% degli ID viene ricoverato. Di questi il 5%
sono bambini e l’81,5% sono anziani (60,3% donne e 21,2% uomini).
CONCLUSIONI: La prevenzione deve basarsi su un approccio globale che
inizia con: la sorveglianza epidemiologica; programmi educativi a scuola; campagne
di informazione per tutta la popolazione; presenza di legislazione specifica;
corretto progetto architettonico e di arredamento degli ambienti di vita
Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
Organ-specific manganese toxicity: a comparative in vitro study on five cellular models exposed to MnCl2
No full textManganese (Mn) is both an essential nutrient and a toxicant, with speciWc eVects on liver and kidney (acute exposure) and on central
nervous system (CNS) (chronic exposure). Mn neurotoxicity includes neurobehavioral disorders and extra-pyramidal motor dysfunctions
(manganism), possibly due to focal injuries to the basal ganglia. Even if widely investigated, the molecular mechanisms responsible for Mn
toxicity remain to be clariWed. Aim of this study was to identify suitable in vitro models to investigate these molecular pathways. To this purpose we compared the eVect of manganese chloride on four cell lines, representative of the main target organs of Mn toxicity in vivo.
HepG2 and MDCK cell lines were selected for liver and kidney, respectively; glial GL15 and neuronal SHSY5Y cells were used as models
of CNS components. To complete the “motor system” model, skeletal muscle C2C12 cells were also included. Our results demonstrate
that hepatic, renal, glial and neuronal cell types diVerently react to Mn, mirroring the speciWc in vivo response of the tissue they represent.
This confirms their value as suitable in vitro models to study Mn-related toxic events. Interestingly, also muscle C2C12 cells showed a noticeable sensitivity to Mn, preferential targets being differentiated myotubes
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

No full textA yeast-based repurposing approach for the treatment of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes led to the identification of molecules able to modulate the dNTP pool
No full textMitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes (MDS) are clinically heterogenous and often severe diseases, characterized by a reduction of the number of copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in affected tissues. In the context of MDS, yeast has proved to be both an excellent model for the study of the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial pathologies and for the discovery of new therapies via high-throughput assays. Among the several genes involved in MDS, it has been shown that recessive mutations in MPV17 cause a hepatocerebral form of MDS and Navajo neurohepatopathy. MPV17 encodes a non selective channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane, but its physiological role and the nature of its cargo remains elusive. In this study we identify ten drugs active against MPV17 disorder, modelled in yeast using the homologous gene SYM1. All ten of the identified molecules cause a concomitant increase of both the mitochondrial deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (mtdNTP) pool and mtDNA stability, which suggests that the reduced availability of DNA synthesis precursors is the cause for the mtDNA deletion and depletion associated with Sym1 deficiency. We finally evaluated the effect of these molecules on mtDNA stability in two other MDS yeast models, extending the potential use of these drugs to a wider range of MDS patients
