Article Synopsis
- Insect-based foods (IBFs) are being considered as solutions to climate change and starvation, but face significant rejection in Western nations due to fear and disgust.
- This study analyzed attitudes towards IBFs among 175 Italian university students by examining both explicit attitudes and automatic associations, as well as psychological factors influencing their food choices.
- Findings revealed generally negative attitudes towards IBFs, identifying four decision-making profiles, with the most favorable views held by those who are rational and trust science, while the most aversive reactions came from those with food neophobia and distrust in science.
Purpose: To compare radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) vascular plexus parameters and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness between Early-Treated Adults with Phenylketonuria (ETPKU) and controls.
Methods: This observational study was a monocentric, case control study including 36 eyes of 36 participants. Among these, 18 were early-treated PKU (ETPKU) and 18 were controls.
Cardiovascular diseases represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and an unhealthy lifestyle notoriously accounts for a large percentage of their risk. Identifying resources to stimulate lifestyle changes is an essential goal of primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention. Self-efficacy beliefs are among the major psychological factors proven to impact health status and lifestyle.

This study aimed to apply the Lean methodology and evaluate the effectiveness of this new setting on intravitreal therapy for wAMD, employing different anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) drugs (bevacizumab, brolucizumab, aflibercept, ranibizumab), drawing data from the Bari Intravitreal Injections Registry (BIVIR).
Methods: This was a retrospective, monocentric, nonrandomized, comparative study.
Purpose: To investigate outcomes after Brolucizumab injection in naïve treatment or non-responder patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: It is a retrospective, comparative, cohort study conducted at the tertiary referral center of the University Hospital Polyclinic of Bari, for 5 years, from November 2017 until May 2022. 41 eyes with wet-AMD (w-AMD) were included, undergoing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections.
