Although clinically relevant, evidence for a protective effect of early secure attachment against the development of depressive symptoms in adulthood is still inconsistent. This study used a translational approach to overcome this limitation. The analysis of a non-clinical adult population revealed a moderating effect of secure attachment on depressive symptoms in women only.

In this narrative review, we evaluated the effects of NET therapies on glycemic control and DM management and the effects of anti-diabetic therapies on NET outcome and management. For this purpose, we searched the PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases for studies reporting the effects of NET therapy on DM as well as the effect of DM therapy on NET.

- The study examined how full vaccination and the timing of vaccinations affected SARS-CoV-2 infection rates among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Italy's Marche Region.
- 81.2% of HCWs in the cohort were fully vaccinated, with factors such as age, role, and prior health status influencing vaccination rates.
- Vaccination reduced infection risk by 77%, particularly for those vaccinated earlier, highlighting the need for effective vaccination strategies for all HCWs.
Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by a progressive loss of body weight occurring in about 80% of cancer patients, frequently representing the leading cause of death. Dietary intervention is emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy to counteract cancer-induced wasting. Serine is the second most-consumed amino acid (AA) by cancer cells and has emerged to be strictly necessary to preserve skeletal muscle structure and functionality.

- - User-centered design methods from human-computer interaction (HCI) have improved the welfare of various animals but are not widely applied in farm animal settings, prompting the emergence of animal-computer interaction (ACI) aimed at benefiting both animals and humans.
- - Despite advancements in HCI and ACI, their application in improving welfare for farm animals, especially dairy cows, swine, and poultry, is still lacking, indicating a need for innovation in these areas.
- - The paper advocates for a shift towards animal-centered farming methods and the integration of HACI within precision livestock farming and artificial intelligence to enhance animal welfare, aligning with the 'One Welfare' approach that considers broader societal benefits.
