Abstract	Raising the alert level concerning Vulcano has led to increased monitoring activities concerning the island. One of the leading research topics to enhance the knowledge of this volcanic system is the characterization of the volcano-tectonic structures of the island and their relation with the geothermal system. We present a 3D resistivity imaging obtained by the Magnetotelluric (MT) method, highlighting the structures of the La Fossa crater down to 2 km depth b.s.l. The geometry of the resistivity anomalies elucidates the different volcano-tectonic lineaments that characterize the volcanological evolution of Vulcano island and provides valuable indications for understanding the interaction between lithostratigraphic setting, fluid circulation, and the current dynamics recorded on the island. The most significant structure identified by the MT survey is a resistive anomaly located at La Fossa crater, which continuously deepens to the maximum depths detected and represents a conduit-type structure along which there is a preferential ascent of magmatic fluids. Furthermore, the resistivity anomalies are mainly aligned in the N-S direction and contain the outgassing structures of the N-NE sector of the crater. They probably represent the island sector where, in addition to the ascent of magmas from recent activity, the most significant quantities of fluids from the deep accumulate/channeling. The model also shows that the higher resistivity bodies emerging at the surface mainly correspond to volcanic buildings, craters, conduits, and/or eruptive fissures. The deep structures imaged by the MT model become very significant in light of the interpretation of the possible unrest dynamics at Vulcano.

Abstract	Eating disorders (EDs) are difficult to treat in psychotherapy due to their pervasive symptomatology and frequent and rapid relapses. Restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN) is the most challenging ED, often associated with severe physical and mental conditions. Perceived as an ego-syntonic syndrome that somehow protects the patient from a number of developmental tasks, treating AN requires extensive multidisciplinary long-term intervention. As with other emotion regulation strategies, defense mechanisms mediate an individual's reaction to internal or external stressors, including those related to ED conditions. Improving defensive functioning adaptiveness predicts psychotherapy outcomes and is an essential component of the therapeutic process. In this study, we qualitatively described changes in the use of defense mechanisms, personality functioning (PF), and body mass index (BMI) in two patients with severe AN in treatment with intense dynamic psychotherapy. Changes in personality functioning and defense mechanisms were periodically assessed every 6 months using clinician report measures such as the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure-200 (SWAP-200) and the Defense Mechanisms Rating Scales Q-sort (DMRS-Q), respectively. BMI was also monitored throughout the treatment. A qualitative description of the patient's defensive profile and the quantitative score on all ranges of defense mechanisms were used for studying changes in patients' use of defenses during the treatment and relationships between defenses and outcome indexes. Personality and defensive functioning improved after 1 year of intense dynamic psychotherapy, independently from BMI improvement. All outcome indexes dramatically decreased before a scheduled interruption of the treatment, underling that an integrated therapeutic approach is essential for improving and eventually orienting toward complete ED symptoms remission. Long-term dynamic psychotherapy fosters self-awareness of psychological distress and enhances more mature ways of coping. Monitoring changes in personality and defense mechanisms helps in understanding patients' reactions to stressful life events and in developing specific therapeutic interventions.

Abstract	The Campi Flegrei caldera experienced an unrest phase dating to 2005, which primary expression is the impressive ground uplift, accompanied by increasing degassing and seismic activities. Such last two phenomena developed mainly in the caldera central sector, including the Solfatara-Pisciarelli complex. However, the inner structure of such an area is still not defined, and this originates a poor understanding of the ongoing unrest. This paper describes the results of a new magnetotelluric survey performed in the Campi Flegrei caldera central sector. Through the inversion of data collected in 47 independent soundings, a 3D model of the electrical resistivity has been retrieved, which evidenced a partition of the investigated structure. The Agnano-Astroni area seems to be associated with a liquid-dominated geothermal reservoir, whereas the Solfatara-Pisciarelli area seems to be characterized by a single mixed liquid and gasses-dominated geothermal reservoir, which supplies the main caldera fumaroles. The proposed reconstruction of the geometrical characteristics of the hydrothermal system and the primary fluid rising pathways gives substantial clues about the significance of the detected structures in the evolution of the caldera unrest.

Abstract	Electromagnetic imaging can proficiently detect deep structures in volcanic environments. A magnetotelluric (MT) survey has been performed in the Campi Flegrei volcanic environment, crossing the caldera through the main, recent volcano-tectonic structures and intersecting the most active sector of the Solfatra-Agnano zone. The electromagnetic reconstruction of the volcano’s internal structure points out the configuration of the plumbing system and the main structures for the ascent of magma and magmatic fluids, at least below a large continental portion of the caldera. The preliminary picture of the electrical resistivity distribution with depth suggests that the CF caldera plumbing system appears to be formed by distinct branches with a shallower geothermal system well developed below the Solfatara-Agnano area fed by a deeper source. The primary fault system, acting as a preferential pathway for magmatic fluids, is also identified. The resistivity model allows (i) to constrain the main electromagnetic features of the caldera and (ii) to delineate significant clues about its structural setting.This new picture represents a relevant contribution furnished by MT observations for hazard assessment at Campi Flegrei and can enhance the modeling of the driving mechanisms of the ongoing unrest.

Abstract	The psychodynamic concept of defense mechanisms is nowadays considered by professionals with various theoretical orientations of great importance in the understanding of human development and psychological functioning. More than half century of empirical research has demonstrated the impact of defensive functioning in psychological well-being, personality organization and treatment process-outcome. Despite the availability of a large number of measures for their evaluation, only a few instruments assess the whole hierarchy of defenses, based on the Defense Mechanisms Rating Scales (DMRS), which arguably offers an observer-rated gold standard of assessment. The present article illustrates the theoretical and methodological background of the DMRS-Q, the Q-sort version of the DMRS for clinical use. Starting from the definition and function of the 30 defense mechanisms included in the hierarchy, we extracted 150 items that captured a full range of defensive manifestations according to the DMRS theory. The DMRS-Q set is described in this paper with reference to the DMRS manual. Directions are also provided for using the DMRS-Q online software for the free and unlimited coding of defense mechanisms. After each coding, the DMRS-Q software provides a report including qualitative and quantitative scores reflecting the individual's defensive functioning. Qualitative scores are displayed as the

Abstract	Psychological resources, such as defense mechanism and mindfulness practice, can mediate the individual reaction to traumatic experiences as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. A novel self-reported measure based on the DMRS (DMRS-SR-30), has been developed with the aim of assessing potential adaptive defensive strategies against the traumatic experience of COVID-19. Preliminary validation of the DMRS-SR-30 showed good internal consistency in both overall defensive functioning and subscales. Combining adaptive defense mechanisms and mindfulness practice could prevent psychological distress due to the effect of COVID-19 losses and quarantining.

Abstract	Background: Despite its broad spectrum and excellent safety profile, fosfomycin is still rarely used in pediatrics, with very limited experience from clinicians. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all children admitted to Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital, IRCCS, Rome, Italy, and treated with fosfomycin for any serious infection. Children with immunodeficiency and oncologic diseases were excluded. Of each, we reported and analyzed demographic and clinical data. Results: The clinical charts of 20 patients were reviewed and analyzed. The mean age was 10.2 years. Most children were males (85%). Most patients treated had an osteo-articular infection (65%). In our sample, 7 patients (35%) had an underlying comorbidity. The causative agent was isolated in 14 cases (70%). All patients were treated with a combination of 2-3 antibiotics, including fosfomycin. The average duration of antibiotic treatment was 18 days. After treatment, 8 patients (40%) experienced a mild adverse reaction, possibly correlated with the administration of fosfomycin. All patients were discharged in good clinical condition. Conclusions: The present study reports on a sample of pediatric patients with complicated infections where administration of fosfomycin led to eradication of the disease with little or no side effects. Role of the underlying condition and concomitant medication in causing the reaction could not be ruled out. These data suggest that fosfomycin is an effective and safe antibiotic in the pediatric population, particularly for deep-seated infections sustained by multi-drug resistant pathogens.

Abstract	Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to address the limited generalizability of studies on defense mechanisms in depression by comparing depressive individuals with non-clinical controls (aim a) and examining changes throughout psychological interventions (aim b) (PROSPERO CRD42023442620). Methods: We followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines, searching PubMed/Web of Science/(EBSCO)PsycINFO until 13/04/2023 for studies evaluating defense mechanisms with measures based on the hierarchical model in depressive patients versus non-clinical controls or throughout psychological intervention. We conducted random-effect meta-analyses for mature defenses/non-mature (neurotic/immature) defenses/overall defensive functioning (ODF), with standardized mean difference (SMD) as outcome measure metric. Meta-regression/sub-group/sensitivity analyses were conducted. Study quality was appraised using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and certainty of evidence for aim b outcomes was evaluated using GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations). Results: 18 studies were included (mean NOS score = 5.56). Depressive patients used significantly more non-mature defenses than non-clinical controls (SMD = 0.74; k = 13). Non-clinical controls did not significantly differ in use of mature defenses compared to depressive patients (SMD = 0.33; k = 14). Significant moderators were publication year/NOS score/geographical distribution/mean age for non-mature defenses and NOS score/geographical distribution for mature defenses. Throughout psychological interventions, only ODF significantly increased (SMD = 0.55; k = 2) (GRADE = very low). Limitations: Quality of many studies was medium/sub-optimal, and longitudinal studies were scarce. Conclusion: Individuals with depressive disorders show a high use of non-mature defenses that could be assessed and targeted in psychological interventions, especially in younger patients.
