    Abstract The term developmental trauma (DT) refers to the impact of stressful events which occur cumulatively within the child's relevant relationships and contexts, and usually early in life. According to several authors, DT depends on the caregiver's inadequate intersubjective recognition of one or more aspects of the evolving individual's identity. In the clinical and empirical literature, the study of therapists' developmental trauma, and how it might constitute a relevant variable in the clinical exchange, seem to be underrepresented. In this paper, through the analysis of the supervision process of a clinical case, we show how the therapeutic relationship may implicitly take the form of a "dance" between the patient's and therapist's DT, that prevents the therapist from intersubjectively attuning with the patient; and how a supervision process peculiarly focused on the therapist's DT can effectively promote this attunement and a good clinical outcome.

    Abstract The demand for a wide choice of food that is safe and palatable increases every day. Consumers do not accept off-flavors that have atypical odors resulting from internal deterioration or contamination by substances alien to the food. Odor response depends on the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and their detection can provide information about food quality. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is the most powerful method available for the detection of VOC. However, it is laborious, costly, and requires the presence of a trained operator. To develop a faster analytic tool, we designed a non-Faradaic impedimetric biosensor for monitoring the presence of VOCs involved in food spoilage. The biosensor is based on the use of the pig odorant-binding protein (pOBP) as the molecular recognition element. We evaluated the affinity of pOBP for three different volatile organic compounds (1-octen-3-ol, trans-2-hexen-1-ol, and hexanal) related to food spoilage. We developed an electrochemical biosensor conducting impedimetric measurements in liquid and air samples. The impedance changes allowed us to detect each VOC sample at a minimum concentration of 0.1 μM.

    Abstract The development of sensitive methods for the detection of endotoxin molecules, such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), is essential for food safety and health control. Conventional analytical methods used for LPS detection are based on the pyrogen test, plating and culture-based methods, and the limulus amoebocyte lysate method (LAL). Alternatively, the development of reliable biosensors for LPS detection would be highly desirable to solve some critical issues, such as high cost and a long turnaround time. In this work, we present a label-free Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)-based method for LPS detection in its free form. The proposed method combines the benefits of plasmonic enhancement with the selectivity provided by a specific anti-lipid A antibody (Ab). A high-enhancing nanostructured silver substrate was coated with Ab. The presence of LPS was quantitatively monitored by analyzing the changes in the Ab spectra obtained in the absence and presence of LPS. A limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 12 ng/mL and 41 ng/mL were estimated, respectively. Importantly, the proposed technology could be easily expanded for the determination of other biological macromolecules.

    Abstract Food allergies are an exceptional response of the immune system caused by the ingestion of specific foods. The main foods responsible for allergic reactions are milk, eggs, seafood, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, and their derived products. Chicken egg ovalbumin (OVA), a common allergen molecule, is often used for the clarification process of wine. Traces of OVA remain in the wine during the fining process, and they can cause significant allergic reactions in sensitive consumers. Consequently, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown the risks for allergic people to assume allergenic foods and food ingredients, including eggs. Commonly, OVA detection requires sophisticated and time-consuming analytical techniques. Intending to develop a faster assay, we designed a proof-of-concept non-Faradaic impedimetric immunosensor for monitoring the presence of OVA in wine. Polyclonal antibodies anti-OVA were covalently immobilised onto an 11-mercaptoundecanoic-acid (11-MUA)-modified gold surface. The developed immunosensor was able to detect OVA in diluted white wine without the need for an external probe or any pre-treatment step with a sensitivity of 0.20 µg/mL, complying with the limit established by the resolution OIV/COMEX 502-2012 for the quantification of allergens in wine.

    Abstract Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), main agents of several gastroduodenal diseases, represents a therapeutic challenge. Since the influence of age on the success of bacterial treatment remains uncertain, in this case-control study we assessed the efficacy of a standard H. pylori eradication therapy among elderly patients.
    Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 361 naïve patients (194 males, mean age 79.8±3.4 years) aged more than 65 years and treated with a triple therapy regimen comprising a standard dose of omeprazole twice daily, amoxicillin 1g twice daily and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily, for 7, 10 or 14 days, were included. They were compared with naïve patients, younger than 65 years (mean age 43±2.7 years). Since in the year 2017, we began to use the three-in-one single capsule bismuth-containing quadruple therapy, the search was ended on 31 December 2016.
    Results: Overall, H. pylori eradication rate in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, was 70.9% (256/361) among elderly patients versus 70.9% (256/361) among young patients. Dividing by treatment duration, among elderly patients, eradication was obtained in 78.1% (50/64), 69.1% (139/201) and 69.7% (67/96) elderly patients within 7-day, 10-day and 14-day regimens, respectively, without statistical difference. Out of 361 elderly patients, 11 were excluded from the per protocol (PP) analysis because of discontinuations (7 for adverse events). One subject discontinued treatment among young patients. Also, the PP analysis showed no statistical difference, with an eradication rate of 73.1% (256/350) among elderly patients versus 71.1% (256/360) among young patients.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, elderly does not affect efficacy or safety of a clarithromycin-based triple therapy for H. pylori eradication.

    Abstract Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was accompanied by an overabundance of fake news increasing the risk of developing false memories (FMs). Previous studies have shown that the relationship between fake news and FMs could be mediated by some individual variables, including attitudinal biases. We explored the role of these variables in true memories (TMs) and FMs formation, with special emphasis on vaccine- and Green Pass (GP)-related topics.
    Method: We set up a large online survey exploring several constructs including media usage, attitude toward vaccines and GP, perceived (PK) and objective knowledge (OK) about COVID-19-related information, fear of the disease, depression and anxiety symptoms, coping mechanisms, and reasoning skills. Then, we asked participants whether they remembered certain news (true or fake), providing confidence ratings.
    Results: Data from 289 respondents (198 females) from the general population were analyzed. Participants with positive attitude reported a greater fear that their loved ones contracted the COVID-19, a more frequent use of traditional media, and a higher PK when compared with respondents with negative attitude. On the whole sample, participants reported higher confidence levels when required to judge their memory of true than fake news; however, participants with positive attitude reported a higher confidence for both true and fake news. The relationship between attitude and TM confidence was mediated by the PK, whereas the relationship between attitude and FM confidence was probably affected by OK.
    Conclusion: Attitude can modulate individual behaviors in the context of health issues. The PK and OK may interact with attitude in the memory formation.

    Abstract The purpose of this work is to provide an exhaustive overview of the emerging biosensor technologies for the detection of analytes of interest for food, environment, security, and health. Over the years, biosensors have acquired increasing importance in a wide range of applications due to synergistic studies of various scientific disciplines, determining their great commercial potential and revealing how nanotechnology and biotechnology can be strictly connected. In the present scenario, biosensors have increased their detection limit and sensitivity unthinkable until a few years ago. The most widely used biosensors are optical-based devices such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensors and fluorescence-based biosensors. Here, we will review them by highlighting how the progress in their design and development could impact our daily life.
