    Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration of neurons in the central or peripheral nervous system. Currently, there is no cure for neurodegenerative diseases and this means a heavy burden for patients and the health system worldwide. Therefore, it is necessary to find new therapeutic approaches, and antisense therapies offer this possibility, having the great advantage of not modifying cellular genome and potentially being safer. Many preclinical and clinical studies aim to test the safety and effectiveness of antisense therapies in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The objective of this review is to summarize the recent advances in the development of these new technologies to treat the most common neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on those antisense therapies that have already received the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

    Abstract There has been an increase in the use of adoptable bioprocessing methods for the development of high-quality leguminous ingredients. The potential use of germinated green Altamura lentils as a food ingredient is closely related to the resulting properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of three germination times - 0 (C), 24 (G) and 48 (H) hours - on the physicochemical, microstructural, flavour, functional, and nutritional features of lentil flour samples (CF, GF and HF). Lentil flour samples were obtained by grinding both whole green seeds (C) and germinated seeds (G and H), and then sifting them to obtain a particle size < 300 μm. The germinated samples - GF (24 h) and HF (48 h) - exhibited differences (

    Abstract Introduction: Missed Nursing care (MNC) is defined as planned care in the patients care process that is omitted or delayed. Despite their importance in Italy, there are just few studies that measure MNC's prevalence and causes. We are not aware of studies published in literature that have related MNC with the presence or absence of support staff.
    Objectives: This study's objective, was to measure nurse's perception and reasons for missed care in surgical wards with or without Health Care Assistants (HCA), and, to assess whether there is a significant difference between the two groups of nurses.
    Methodology: A Cross-sectional observational study was conducted through the administration of the "Missed Nursing Care Survey" in the Italian Version to nurses of the wards surveyed.
    Results: Results have confirmed that the most frequent MNC are hygiene and mobilisation activities as reported in other Italian and foreign studies, with higher frequency in wards without HCAs. Also, the study confirmed other Italian and foreign study results recognising the most significant motivation for MNC's as the lack of staff and unexpected events.
    Conclusions: Without wishing to attribute a cause/effect relation, it is interesting to assess the results, which seem to show that the presence of HCAs contributes to reduce the prevalence of missed activities. The lack of staff has revealed higher average of MNC for both groups, which seems to direct our attention not only towards the presence of HCAs but in regards to their inclusion in care activities. It may be necessary to reflect on the priority that nurses give to certain activities.

    Abstract Major financial legislation is invariably enacted in the wake of a financial crisis. However, legislating following a crisis is hazardous because information is scarce regarding causes of the crisis, let alone what would be an appropriate response. Compounding the lack of information, crisis-driven legislation is sticky, but financial markets are dynamically innovative, which can undermine the efficacy of regulation. As a result, it is foreseeable that such legislation will contain at least some provisions that are inapt or inadequate or, more often, have consequences that are not well understood or even knowable. This article advocates the use of sunsetting as a mechanism for mitigating the potentially adverse consequences of crisis-driven financial legislation. With sunsetting, after a fixed time span, legislation and its implementing regulation must be reenacted to remain in force. This approach has parallels in evolutionary biology, in which a central issue is the ability to adapt to changing environments. Sunsetting does not mean simply discarding (or reenacting) existing regulations, but revisiting them and improving them, much as mutation and recombination do in the evolutionary process.

    Abstract Coffee pods and capsules require packaging that guarantees the optimal coffee preservation. The chemical composition of coffee can undergo quality decay phenomena during storage, especially in terms of lipidic and volatile components. Amongst coffee packaging, aluminum multilayer materials are particularly widely diffused. However, aluminum is a negative component because it is not recoverable in a mixed plastic structure and its specific weight gives significant weight to packaging. In this study, a multilayer film with a reduced content of aluminum was used to package coffe pods and capsules and compared to a standard film with an aluminum layer. Their influence on the peroxides and volatile organic compounds of two coffee blends, 100%

    Abstract Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome mainly associated with a bacterial infection leading to severe clinical manifestations that could be associated with fatal sequalae. According to the time of onset, neonatal sepsis is categorized as early- (EOS) or late-onset sepsis (LOS). Despite blood culture being the gold standard for diagnosis, it has several limitations, and early diagnosis is not immediate. Consequently, most infants who start empirical antimicrobial therapy do not have an underlying infection. Despite stewardship programs partially reduced this negative trend, in neonatology, antibiotic overuse still persists, and it is associated with several relevant problems, the first of which is the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Starting with these considerations, we performed a narrative review to summarize the main findings and the future prospects regarding antibiotics use to treat neonatal sepsis. Because of the impact on morbidity and mortality that EOS and LOS entail, it is essential to start an effective and prompt treatment as soon as possible. The use of targeted antibiotics is peremptory as soon as the pathogen in the culture is detected. Although prompt therapy is essential, it should be better assessed whether, when and how to treat neonates with antibiotics, even those at higher risk. Considering that we are certainly in the worrying era defined as the "post-antibiotic era", it is still essential and urgent to define novel strategies for the development of antibacterial compounds with new targets or mechanisms of action. A future strategy could also be to perform well-designed studies to develop innovative algorithms for improving the etiological diagnosis of infection, allowing for more personalized use of the antibiotics to treat EOS and LOS.

    Abstract Intermediate filaments are the most heterogeneous class among cytoskeletal elements. While some of them have been well-characterized, little is known about peripherin. Peripherin is a class III intermediate filament protein with a specific expression in the peripheral nervous system. Epigenetic modifications are involved in this cell-type-specific expression. Peripherin has important roles in neurite outgrowth and stability, axonal transport, and axonal myelination. Moreover, peripherin interacts with proteins involved in vesicular trafficking, signal transduction, DNA/RNA processing, protein folding, and mitochondrial metabolism, suggesting a role in all these processes. This review collects information regarding peripherin gene regulation, post-translational modifications, and functions and its involvement in the onset of a number of diseases.

    Abstract A long tradition of analysing ordinal response data deals with parametric models, which started with the seminal approach of cumulative models. When data are collected by means of Likert scale survey questions in which several scored items measure one or more latent traits, one of the sore topics is how to deal with the ordered categories. A stacked ensemble (or hybrid) model is introduced in the proposal to tackle the limitations of summing up the items. In particular, multiple items responses are synthesised into a single meta-item, defined via a joint data reduction approach; the meta-item is then modelled according to regression approaches for ordered polytomous variables accounting for potential scaling effects. Finally, a recursive partitioning method yielding trees provides automatic variable selection. The performance of the method is evaluated empirically by using a survey on Distance Learning perception.
