Hospital as a site of death of cancer patients in Italy: A registry-based analysis and time trends.

Background: Place of death is relevant both for individuals and for the society. Home is universally considered the optimal place of death while dying in hospital may be a signal of inappropriate end-of-life care. We aimed at studying the place of death of patients with cancer in Italy in a five-year period.

Decoding load or selection in visuospatial working memory?

Flexible updating of information in Visual Working Memory (VWM) is crucial to deal with its limited capacity. Previous research has shown that the removal of no longer relevant information takes some time to complete. Here, we sought to study the time course of such removal by tracking the accompanying drop in load through behavioral and neurophysiological measures.

Liquid biopsy in triple-negative breast cancer: unlocking the potential of precision oncology.

In the era of precision oncology, the management of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is rapidly changing and becoming more complicated with a variety of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted treatment options. Currently, TNBC treatment is based on prognostic and predictive factors including immunohistochemical biomarkers [e.g.

Circadian modulation of the time course of automatic and controlled semantic processing.

We investigated whether chronotype and time-of-day modulate the time course of automatic and controlled semantic processing. Participants performed a category semantic priming task at either the optimal or non-optimal time of day. We varied the prime-target onset asynchrony (100-, 450-, 650-, and 850-ms SOAs) and kept the percentage of unrelated targets constant at 80%.

Testing the modulation of self-related automatic and others-related controlled processing by chronotype and time-of-day.

We assessed whether self-related automatic and others-related controlled processes are modulated by chronotype and time-of-day. Here, a shape-label matching task composed of three geometrical shapes arbitrarily associated with you, friend, and stranger was used. Twenty Morning-types, and twenty Evening-types performed the task at the optimal and non-optimal times of day (i.
