Clinical recognition of frontotemporal dementia with right temporal predominance: a consensus statement from the International Working Group Open
Accurate diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with right anterior temporal lobe (RATL) predominance remains challenging due to lack of clinical characterization, and standardized terminology. The recent research of the International …

Association between Klotho levels in cerebrospinal fluid and choroid plexus enlargement in neurodegeneration Open
Background Klotho is a longevity-associated protein found in membrane-bound and secreted forms, with the latter detectable in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Circulating Klotho mainly originates from the kidney, while the choroid plex…

Comparison of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles miRNA profile between patients with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia and primary psychiatric disorders Open
The behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) often overlaps clinically with primary psychiatric disorders (PPD), leading to frequent misdiagnosis and delayed intervention. The "Diagnostic and Prognostic Precision Algorithm fo…

Differential miRNA expression in neural-enriched extracellular vesicles as potential biomarker for frontotemporal dementia and bipolar disorder Open
Behavioral variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD) share overlapping symptoms, complicating diagnosis. BvFTD, especially linked to C9orf72 expansions, often mimics BD, highlighting the need for reliable biomark…

Differential miRNA Expression in Neuronal-Derived Extracellular Vesicles as potential biomarker for Frontotemporal Dementia and Bipolar Disorder Open
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD) share overlapping symptoms, complicating diagnosis. FTD, especially linked to C9orf72 expansions, often mimics BD, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers. This study aimed to d…

A “glympse” into neurodegeneration: Diffusion <span>MRI</span> and cerebrospinal fluid <span>aquaporin‐4</span> for the assessment of glymphatic system in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias Open
The glymphatic system (GS) is a whole‐brain perivascular network, consisting of three compartments: the periarterial and perivenous spaces and the interposed brain parenchyma. GS dysfunction has been implicated in neurodegenerative disease…

Long Non-Coding RNA Profile in Genetic Symptomatic and Presymptomatic Frontotemporal Dementia: A GENFI Study Open
Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in gene regulation and are implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, their expression patterns and potential as biomarkers in g…

Association between enlarged perivascular spaces and cerebrospinal fluid aquaporin-4 and tau levels: report from a memory clinic Open
Background Perivascular spaces (PVS) are fluid-filled compartments that dilate in response to many different conditions. A high burden of enlarged PVS (EPVS) in the centrum semiovale (CSO) has been linked to neurodegeneration. Moreover, an…

Physiological and Phylogenetic Characterization of Rhodotorula diobovata DSBCA06, a Nitrophilous Yeast Open
Agriculture and intensive farming methods are the greatest cause of nitrogen pollution. In particular, nitrification (the conversion of ammonia to nitrate) plays a role in global climate changes, affecting the bio-availability of nitrogen …

Risk for Depression, Burnout and Low Quality of Life Among Personnel of a University Hospital in Italy is a Consequence of the Impact One Economic Crisis in the Welfare System? Open
Background: Research literature suggests that burnout, depression, and a low mental quality of life (QOL) are common among health care workers. Economic crisis might have increased the burden of burnout, depression and low QOL in health ca…

Stem/progenitor cells in the developing human cerebellum: an immunohistochemical study Open
The aim of this study was to analyze, by immunohistochemistry, the occurrence of stem/progenitor cells localized in the different niches of the developing human cerebellum. To this end, cerebellar samples were obtained from 3 fetuses and 3…

Biological Activities and Nutraceutical Potentials of Water Extracts from Different Parts of Cynomorium coccineum L. (Maltese Mushroom) Open
Maltese Mushroom (Cynomorium coccineum L.) is a non-photosynthetic plant that has been used in traditional medicine for many centuries.
\nIn this paper, water extracts from the whole plant, external layer and peeled plant were studied to d…
