    Abstract The waiting for a kidney transplant may generate fear, anxiety or longing. However, the desire for a healthier life should be stronger than any possible fear or risk to be taken. The waiting for a graft is similar to how a lover waits for the loved one and cannot see the moment of their reunion. This is pure longing. And should be like this for all the patients admited to a waiting process. The best way to cope with this waiting time, is to follow the therapy, eat correctly, practice sport and maintain a job. A full life as a human being, despite of all the limitations (food, travel, energy), is the secret to getting to a transplant in the best shape possible, body and mind.

    Abstract Objectives: The Caregiver's Inventory Neuropsychological Diagnosis Dementia (CINDD) is an easy tool designed to quantify cognitive, behavioural and functional deficits of patients with cognitive impairment. Aim of the present study was to analyse the psychometric properties of the CINDD in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Dementia (D).
    Design, setting and participants: The CINDD, composed by 9 sub-domains, was administered to fifty-six caregivers of patients with different types of dementia (D) and 44 caregivers of patients with MCI. All patients underwent an extensive neuropsychological assessment, the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and functional autonomy scales. The reliability, convergent construct validity and possible cut-off of CINND were measured by Cronbach's alpha (α), Pearson's correlation and ROC analysis, respectively.
    Results: The D and MCI patients differed only for age (p=0.006). The internal consistency of CINDD was high (α= 0.969). The α-value for each CINDD domain was considered acceptable, except the mood domain (α=0.209). The CINDD total score correlated with cognitive screening tests; each domain of the CINDD correlated with the corresponding score from either tests or NPI (p<0.05), except for visuo-spatial perception skills and apathy. A screening cut-off equal to 59, can be used discriminate D from MCI (Sensitivity=0.70, Specificity=0.57).
    Conclusion: The CINDD is a feasible, accurate and reliable tool for the assessment of cognitive and behavioural difficulties in patients with different degree of cognitive impairment. It may be used to quantify and monitor caregiver-reported ecological data in both clinical and research settings.

    Abstract Background: The aims of this explore the psychometric properties of the novel Italian version of the 14-item Resilience Scale (RS-14) and to assess the relationship between RS-14, mood and quality of life.
    Method: The original English version of the RS-14 was translated into Italian, and the Italian version was confirmed with back-translation. Three-hundred healthy volunteers (M = 122) aged > 18 years, completed the RS-14 as well as different scales to measure depression, anxiety and quality of life. Statistical analyses were used to measure the reliability, validity and key factors of RS-14. We measured the differences in socio-demographic subgroups, the relationship between mood and RS-14 score and the impact of RS-14 on mental health.
    Results: The RS-14 showed good acceptability, reliability and validity. Factor analysis indicated a two-factor structure: 'Self-confidence' and 'Self-control', with the former having a more significant impact on mental health. The RS-14 score was not significantly different for sex, age and education, but there was significant difference for marital status. Lower resilience correlated with higher levels of anxiety and depression and with lower quality of life.
    Conclusion: We propose the novel Italian version of the RS-14 which has good reliability and validity. Our results stress the influence of resilience on mental health.

    Abstract The exact pathophysiology of cognitive impairment in multiple system atrophy (MSA) is unclear. In our longitudinal study, we aimed to analyze (I) the relationships between cognitive functions and some subcortical structures, such as putamen and cerebellum assessed by voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and T1-weighted/T2-weighted (T1w/T2w) ratio, and (II) the neuroimaging predictors of the progression of cognitive deficits. Twenty-six patients with MSA underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological battery, motor examination, and brain MRI at baseline (T

    Abstract Objectives: To explore the impact of sex and age on relationship between prodromal constipation and disease phenotype in Parkinson's disease at early stages.
    Methods: A total of 385 Parkinson's disease patients from the PRIAMO study were classified according to the presence of prodromal constipation and followed for 24 months. Multivariable mixed-effect models were applied. All analyses were performed separately for sex (64.1% men) and median age (different by sex: 67 years-old in men and 68 years-old in women).
    Results: As for sex, prodromal constipation was associated with greater odds of attention/memory complaints and apathy symptoms in women only. As for age, prodromal constipation was associated with lower cognitive and higher apathy scores in older patients only.
    Conclusions: Prodromal constipation anticipates lower cognitive performances and more severe apathy since the earliest stages in women and older patients. Sex- and age-related heterogeneity of prodromal markers of Parkinson's disease may impact disease phenotype.
