Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates Accelerated Long-term Forgetting (ALF), highlighting that traditional memory tests often miss this phenomenon by only assessing retention shortly after learning.
  • Experiment 1 involved healthy participants to develop a longer-term memory procedure that successfully captured long-term forgetting patterns, revealing a link between perceived memory function and actual performance.
  • In Experiment 2, patients with severe Acquired Brain Injury demonstrated decreased memory retention over longer intervals compared to healthy participants, underscoring the necessity for extended memory assessments in clinical settings.

Background: The mental representation of the body (or body representation, BR) derives from the processing of multiple sensory and motor inputs and plays a crucial role in guiding our actions and in how we perceive our body. Fundamental inputs for BR construction come also from the interoceptive systems which refer to the whole bidirectional processes between the brain and the body. People with Multiple sclerosis (MS) show an abnormal multisensory integration which may compromise BR and interoception integrity.

Background: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are common diseases with a heterogeneous distribution worldwide. Due to their impact on disability, weight assistance and pharmaceutical spending, they represent an important global burden for national health systems. However, few studies have investigated the use and consumption of inhaled drugs in real life in patients with CRDs.

Background: Idursulfase and laronidase are drugs used to treat Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type 2) and Scheie syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 S), respectively. These are rare lysosomal storage disorders, leading to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans within lysosomes. Failure of early recognition of the disease and/or delay in starting the appropriate treatment result in severe clinical impairment and death.
