Introduction: The detection in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) of metabolic alterations suggestive of depression and/or of evolution to dementia.
Methods: Sixty-nine MCI patients underwent clinical and imaging evaluation including position emission tomography/computed tomography with fluorodeoxy-glucose (FDG-PET/CT).
Results: The metabolism mean values in parietal, temporal and pre-cuneus areas were lower in subjects who evolved to dementia, and in frontal and in anterior cingulate areas in depressed subjects.
Luspatercept (Reblozyl®) is a newly approved anti-anemic drug prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency. It promotes erythropoiesis by limiting apoptosis of immature erythroblasts and the risk of misuse by athletes for doping is high. Proposed detection methods have been published recently but only evaluated in vitro.

We aimed at evaluating [18F]FDG PET brain datasets of healthy controls (HC), based on publicly available data, for the extraction of voxel-based brain metabolism maps at the single-subject level.
Methods: Selection of HC images was based on visual rating, after Cook's distance and jack-knife analyses, to exclude artefacts and/or outliers.
Objective: Previous literature documented the traumatic consequences of exposure to disasters on psychological functioning, but little attention has been paid to the intergenerational transmission of the memory of disasters. We explored long-term effects on the memory of the Vajont dam disaster in Northeast Italy that claimed 1,910 lives in 1963.
Method: We collected data from 52 two-generation families in which the first generations were born before the disaster and the second generations after.
