Mitigating cellular aging and enhancing cognitive functionality: visual arts-mediated Cognitive Activation Therapy in neurocognitive disorders.

The growing phenomenon of population aging is redefining demographic dynamics, intensifying age-related conditions, especially dementia, projected to triple by 2050 with an enormous global economic burden. This study investigates visual arts-mediated Cognitive Activation Therapy (CAT) as a non-pharmacological CAT intervention targets both biological aging [leukocyte telomere length (LTL), DNA methylation age (DNAmAge)] and cognitive functionality. Aligning with a broader trend of integrating non-pharmacological approaches into dementia care.

Uptake and translocation of brominated flame retardants in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.): Results from a standard soil-based biotest.

The uptake and translocation of four polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and four novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were investigated via the RHIZOtest, a standard soil-based biotest, optimized for organic compounds. Tomato plants were exposed to soil samples spiked with 0 (i.

Maisonneuve fracture treated with suture-button system stabilization combined with plate and arthroscopic assistance (SBPAA): Clinical and radiological evaluation in short-medium period.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to estimate the time needed for patients with Maisonneuve fractures to return to routine activities, after treatment with a suture-button system stabilization combined with plate and arthroscopic assistance (SBPAA).

Methods: The study included 13 patients treated at our surgical department from January 2018 to June2022. Specific radiographical follow-up and periodic checks were performed in a short -to-medium term period, to evaluate syndesmosis evolution and tibiofibular overlap with medial clear space (MCS).

Retrospective analysis of iatrogenic diseases in cattle requiring admission to a veterinary hospital.

Iatrogenic diseases in veterinary medicine are often related to malpractice or lack of skill. For this retrospective study, 4262 clinical records of cattle admitted to the veterinary teaching hospital of the University of Milan between 2005 and 2017 were analysed, and 121 cases (2.8 per cent), referred for an iatrogenic-related disease, were selected.
