Background: Neonatal seizures are common with acute brain injury. Up to 25% of survivors develop postneonatal epilepsy. We hypothesized postneonatal epilepsy diagnosed by age 24 months would increase risk for early markers of neurobehavioral disorders than acute provoked neonatal seizures alone.

- A collaboration between CREA and ARSIAL focused on characterizing native maize populations from the Lazio region, analyzing their morphology, chemical composition, and genetic traits.
- During 2022 and 2023, 50 maize accessions were cultivated, with data collected on traits like plant and ear height, flowering times, and grain composition evaluated using near-infrared spectroscopy.
- The genetic analysis using ddRADseq revealed significant differences in population structure between the ARSIAL and CREA collections, highlighting the importance of preserving and understanding local biodiversity in maize germplasm.
The present study investigated the changes in the organoleptic characteristics, nutraceuticals, and antioxidant activity of tomato fruits subjected to different thermal processes: tomato sauce (80 °C for 30 min), blanching treatment (100 °C for 10 s), and the superheated steam method (SHS; 100 °C for 7 min) compared with fresh tomato fruit. Even though SHS negatively modified the color of the product (L* -7% than fresh tomatoes), it was the only technology able to increase the antioxidant activity compared with fresh tomatoes (e.g.

- * Results showed that 65% of the children had abnormal sleep scores, and around 27% screened positive for sleep-disordered breathing, with higher occurrences in those with cerebral palsy or epilepsy.
- * The findings suggest a significant relationship between sleep issues and parental anxiety/depression, emphasizing the importance of early screening and treatment for sleep disorders to potentially improve outcomes for these children.
