    Abstract Purpose of review: Incretin-based drugs are potent weight-lowering agents, emerging as potential breakthrough therapy for the treatment of obesity-related phenotype of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In this review article, we will discuss the contribution of weight loss as part of the benefits of incretin-based medications in obese patients with HFpEF. Furthermore, we will describe the potential effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists on the heart, particularly in relation to HFpEF pathophysiology.
    Recent findings: In the STEP-HFpEF trial, the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide significantly improved quality of life outcomes in obese HFpEF patients. Whether the beneficial effects of semaglutide in obese patients with HFpEF are merely a consequence of body weight reduction is unclear. Considering the availability of other weight loss strategies (e.g., caloric restriction, exercise training, bariatric surgery) to be used in obese HFpEF patients, answering this question is crucial to provide tailored therapeutic options in these subjects.
    Summary: Incretin-based drugs may represent a milestone in the treatment of obesity in HFpEF. Elucidating the contribution of weight loss in the overall benefit observed with these drugs is critical in the management of obese HFpEF patients, considering that other weight-lowering strategies are available and might represent potential alternative options for these patients.

    Abstract Il turismo negli ultimi decenni è diventato una delle principali industrie delleconomia mondiale. In questo contesto, lo studio delle destinazioni turistiche si configura sempre più come un elemento critico per la competitività dei paesi a vocazione turistica. Lobiettivo di questa ricerca è stato principalmente individuare quali sono i sistemi locali turistici in Italia ed in che modo competono tra di loro. Attraverso lapplicazione della metodologia Istat-Sforzi e le tecniche di Econometria Spaziale, il volume propone un ampio panorama di rappresentazione cartografiche delle destinazioni italiane ed elabora una proxi di analisi per misurare empiricamente le fonti di competitività di questi sistemi di impresa, concentrandosi in particolare sulla filiera turistica allargata e su reti di destinazioni

    Abstract Personalized Medicine is a novel medical practice that uses an individual's genetic profile to guide decisions made regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Knowledge of a patient's genetic profile is crucial to support doctors in selecting the proper therapy and administer it using the correct dose or regimen. Personalized Medicine is a great opportunity to turn the "one size fits all" approach to diagnostics, therapy, and prevention, into an individualized approach. In this paper we analyze the most recent achievements and regulatory challenges in Personalized Medicine and the role that research infrastructures can play in advancing its development.

    Abstract A reaction-diffusion Leslie-Gower predator-prey model, incorporating the fear effect and prey refuge, with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response, is introduced. A qualitative analysis of the solutions of the model and the stability analysis of the coexistence equilibrium, are performed. Sufficient conditions guaranteeing the occurrence of Turing instability have been determined either in the case of self-diffusion or in the case of cross-diffusion. Different types of Turing patterns, representing a spatial redistribution of population in the environment, emerge for different values of the model parameters.

    Abstract Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and its prevalence is projected to increase in the coming years in parallel with the increase of life expectancy. Despite the great improvements in the management of the acute phase of stroke, some residual disability persists in most patients thus requiring rehabilitation. One third of patients do not reach the maximal recovery potential and different approaches have been explored with the aim to boost up recovery. In this regard, noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been widely used to induce neuroplasticity phenomena. Different protocols of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can induce short- and long-term changes of synaptic excitability and are promising tools for enhancing recovery in stroke patients. New options for neuromodulation are currently under investigation. They include: vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) that can be delivered invasively, with implanted stimulators and noninvasively with transcutaneous VNS (tVNS); and extremely low-frequency (1-300Hz) magnetic fields. This chapter will provide an overview on the new techniques that are used for neuroprotection and for enhancing recovery after stroke.

    Abstract Background: Seizures are reported to be more prevalent in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared with the general population. Existing data predominantly originate from population-based studies, which introduce variability in methodologies and are vulnerable to selection and reporting biases.
    Methods: This meta-analysis aims to assess the incidence of seizures in patients participating in randomised clinical trials and to identify potential contributing factors. Data were extracted from 60 articles published from 1993 to 2022. The pooled effect size, representing the incidence rate of seizure events, was estimated using a random-effect model. Metaregression was employed to explore factors influencing the pooled effect size.
    Results: The meta-analysis included data from 53 535 patients and 120 seizure events in a median follow-up of 2 years. The pooled incidence rate of seizures was 68.0 per 100 000 patient-years, significantly higher than the general population rate of 34.6. Generalised tonic-clonic seizures were the most common type reported, although there was a high risk of misclassification for focal seizures with secondary generalisation. Disease progression, longer disease duration, higher disability levels and lower brain volume were associated with a higher incidence of seizures. Particularly, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) modulators exhibited a 2.45-fold increased risk of seizures compared with placebo or comparators, with a risk difference of 20.5 events per 100 000 patient-years.
    Conclusions: Patients with MS face a nearly twofold higher seizure risk compared with the general population. This risk appears to be associated not only with disease burden but also with S1PR modulators. Our findings underscore epilepsy as a significant comorbidity in MS and emphasise the necessity for further research into its triggers, preventive measures and treatment strategies.

    Abstract Objective: To understand the experience of young people with orofacial clefts regarding life as an adolescent.
    Methods: Descriptive, qualitative study, developed in a Brazilian public and tertiary hospital, a reference center in the care of patients with craniofacial anomalies and related syndromes, between February and April 2019. The sample was defined by theoretical saturation. The following inclusion criteria were established: age between ten and 19 years old and having previously operated on orofacial cleft (lip and/or palate). Individuals with fissure associated with syndromes or other malformations were excluded. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews, which were audio recorded and transcribed in full. The trigger element was: how has it been for you to experience your adolescence? For the construction of the results, content analysis was used in the thematic modality.
    Results: Seventeen adolescents participated. From the speeches, three categories were revealed: interacting socially, feeling supported, and experiencing and facing prejudice.
    Conclusions: The biopsychosocial and conflicting complexity that adolescents with orofacial clefts experience was noticed, as well as the importance of receiving support and establishing modalities of situational coping.
