    Abstract The civil education approach uses sports practise as a preventive intervention to increase self-awareness and to help modulate emotion in adolescents. Indeed, sports participation results in a better quality of life, more favourable cardio-metabolic and sleeping profiles and a healthier body composition. Adolescents involved in sport activities also report a higher level of social and emotional skills, and reduced mental health distress. However, the Italian school’s program provides only two hours weekly of physical education, with lack of options and participation. In alignment with the civil educational approach, the research team aims to develop a predictive sport, movement, eating habits, relationships and technologies (S.M.A.R.T.) questionnaire to identify the youths that present a higher risk of delinquency. The following research aims to explore preliminary data from 501 adolescents completing the S.M.A.R.T. The results show that the female group (n = 260) was healthier than the male group (n = 241); particularly, the female group demonstrated a higher level of self-awareness in the use of technologies ( p < 0.05). Our results produce the first data set on a cohort of young adolescents in Italy using the S.M.A.R.T. questionnaire. The questionnaire possesses a high response rate and should now be implemented towards validation.

    Abstract Inappropriate shock (IAS) is the most frequent device-related complication among patients with subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD). Air entrapment (AE) has been described as an underdiagnosed cause of early postimplant IAS. We report 6 consecutive cases of early IAS after S-ICD implant, in whom the electrogram analysis (EGM) and/or chest radiography (CXR) were consistent with AE.

    Abstract Background: Interatrial block (IAB) is a conduction delay in Bachmann's bundle with a well-described association with structural heart disease, supraventricular arrhythmias, and cardiovascular events.
    Case summary: We report the case of an asymptomatic 35-year-old man in whom the presence of IAB at electrocardiogram led to a comprehensive evaluation including speckle-tracking echocardiography, 24 h Holter monitoring, and genetic testing. Speckle-tracking echocardiography demonstrated a decrease in the longitudinal strain of interventricular septum, a typical feature of LMNA-related cardiomyopathy, and decreased indices of left atrial deformation. A diagnosis of cardiac laminopathy related to the frame shift variant c.1367 (p.Asn456Thrfs*24) of the LMNA gene was made. A dual-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation was performed for the high risk of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
    Discussion: This case demonstrates that IAB could be a rare presentation of a life-threatening laminopathy. Strain echocardiography is an essential tool to evaluate the deposition of fibrosis tissue in subclinical cardiomyopathies. Our report describes a novel variant of LMNA gene associated with a high risk of sudden cardiac death.

    Abstract When normal individuals are asked to localize and mark the midpoint of a radial line, they tend to bisect it farther than the true center. It has been suggested that radial misbisection depends on the presence of a visual attentional bias directed toward the far space. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the localization of the center of radial lines was affected by the starting position of the hand. There were two starting positions: one between the body and the radial line ("near"), the other beyond the radial line ("far"). Thirty-four subjects participated in the experiment. The results showed that (i) participants bisected radial lines farther than the true center, measured with reference to their body, in both near and far condition, and (ii) bisection errors in the near condition were greater than those in the far condition. We suggest that hand starting position and direction of ongoing movement influenced radial line misbisection by modulating visual attentional bias directed to far space.

    Abstract The use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU). NMBAs have been used in critically ill patients with lung diseases to optimize mechanical ventilation, prevent spontaneous respiratory efforts, reduce the work of breathing and oxygen consumption, and avoid patient-ventilator asynchrony. In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), NMBAs reduce the risk of barotrauma and improve oxygenation. Nevertheless, current guidelines and evidence are contrasting regarding the routine use of NMBAs. In status asthmaticus and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, NMBAs are used in specific conditions to ameliorate patient-ventilator synchronism and oxygenation, although their routine use is controversial. Indeed, the use of NMBAs has decreased over the last decade due to potential adverse effects, such as immobilization, venous thrombosis, patient awareness during paralysis, development of critical illness myopathy, autonomic interactions, ICU-acquired weakness, and residual paralysis after cessation of NMBAs use. The aim of this review is to highlight current knowledge and synthesize the evidence for the effects of NMBAs for critically ill patients with lung diseases, focusing on patient-ventilator asynchrony, ARDS, status asthmaticus, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    Abstract Introduction: Although there has been extensive research on mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), treatment remains mainly supportive. Recent studies and new ventilatory modes have been proposed to manage patients with ARDS; however, the clinical impact of these strategies remains uncertain and not clearly supported by guidelines. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview and update on ventilatory management for patients with ARDS.
    Areas covered: This article reviews the literature regarding mechanical ventilation in ARDS. A comprehensive overview of the principal settings for the ventilator parameters involved is provided as well as a report on the differences between controlled and assisted ventilation. Additionally, new modes of assisted ventilation are presented and discussed. The evidence concerning rescue strategies, including recruitment maneuvers and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, is analyzed. PubMed, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Library were searched up until June 2023, for relevant literature.
    Expert opinion: Available evidence for mechanical ventilation in cases of ARDS suggests the use of a personalized mechanical ventilation strategy. Although promising, new modes of assisted mechanical ventilation are still under investigation and guidelines do not recommend rescue strategies as the standard of care. Further research on this topic is required.
