    Abstract OTOC has been used to characterize the information scrambling in quantum systems. Recent studies have shown that local conserved quantities play a crucial role in governing the relaxation dynamics of OTOC in non-integrable systems. In particular, the slow scrambling of OTOC is seen for observables that have an overlap with local conserved quantities. However, an observable may not overlap with the Hamiltonian but instead with the Hamiltonian elevated to an exponent larger than one. Here, we show that higher exponents correspond to faster relaxation, although still algebraic, and such exponents can increase indefinitely. Our analytical results are supported by numerical experiments.

    Abstract Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. Besides its irreversibility, COPD is a treatable condition, and patients would strongly benefit from being adherent to their treatments. However, almost half of them are non-adherent, and, according to several recent studies, the way the patient perceives the disease might influence this variable.
    Aim: This systematic review provided a synthesis of studies about the relationships between illness perceptions (IP), cognitions, beliefs, and adherence in COPD.
    Methods: English language publications were searched in PubMed, Medline, Scopus, ResearchGate, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library databases from November 2022 to February 2023, following PRISMA guidelines. The reference lists of eligible studies were also searched. Data extraction and critical appraisal were undertaken by two reviewers working independently.
    Results: A total of 14 studies were included. Adherence to treatment in COPD is confirmed to be low, using both self-report questionnaires and objective assessment systems. Most studies concluded that COPD is perceived as a moderate threat destined to last forever, even if many participants referred to little disease knowledge. This perception did not change between adherent and non-adherent groups. Those who considered more necessary to take their medicines and had a caregiver were more adherent and less concerned about their future. On the other side, forgetfulness, lack of trust in medications, and difficulties in understanding how to take them were perceived as the main causes of non-adherence. Other predictors of non-adherence, like depression, low self-efficacy, and severity of disease were confirmed.
    Conclusion: The systematic review highlights the variability of the relationship between IP, cognitions and beliefs, and COPD treatment adherence. A new level of awareness of the relationship between patients' subjective point of view and treatment adherence may inform future treatment options and promote a more personalized intervention.

    Abstract Background: Caregivers of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients experience varying psychological responses following the patient's death, including sadness, loneliness, guilt, and a loss of purpose.
    Objectives: This research aims to investigate the caregiver journey experienced from the time of diagnosis to the loss of a care recipient, with a specific focus on understanding the factors that contribute to improved coping with bereavement.
    Methods: The present study used the Interpretative Phenomenological Approach (IPA) to qualitatively explore the accounts of 41 Italian bereaved caregivers of people affected by ALS (Mean Age = 59.78; Female: 60.98%; Male: 39.02%).
    Results: Results revealed 5 overarching themes representing 5 macro areas that emerged from the analysis of the interviews ("
    Conclusions: Results emphasize the need to improve the psychological support offered to caregivers of person living with ALS after the patient's death, tailoring it to the specificity of the condition, to meet their emotional needs, reduce isolation and help them cope with practical challenges and plans.

    Abstract Each protein must be synthesized with the correct amino acid sequence, folded into its native structure, and transported to a relevant subcellular location and protein complex. If any of these steps fail, the cell has the capacity to break down aberrant proteins to maintain protein homeostasis (also called proteostasis). All cells possess a set of well-characterized protein quality control systems to minimize protein misfolding and the damage it might cause. Autophagy, a conserved pathway for the degradation of long-lived proteins, aggregates, and damaged organelles, was initially characterized as a bulk degradation pathway. However, it is now clear that autophagy also contributes to intracellular homeostasis by selectively degrading cargo material. One of the pathways involved in the selective removal of damaged and misfolded proteins is chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA). The CASA complex is composed of three main proteins (HSPA, HSPB8 and BAG3), essential to maintain protein homeostasis in muscle and neuronal cells. A failure in the CASA complex, caused by mutations in the respective coding genes, can lead to (cardio)myopathies and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we summarize our current understanding of the CASA complex and its dynamics. We also briefly discuss how CASA complex proteins are involved in disease and may represent an interesting therapeutic target.

    Abstract Lentiviral vectors are the most frequently used tool to stably transfer and express genes in the context of gene therapy for monogenic diseases. The vast majority of clinical applications involves an ex vivo modality whereby lentiviral vectors are used to transduce autologous somatic cells, obtained from patients and re-delivered to patients after transduction. Examples are hematopoietic stem cells used in gene therapy for hematological or neurometabolic diseases or T cells for immunotherapy of cancer. We review the design and use of lentiviral vectors in gene therapy of monogenic diseases, with a focus on controlling gene expression by transcriptional or post-transcriptional mechanisms in the context of vectors that have already entered a clinical development phase.
