Diagnosis of atrial cardiomyopathy: from the electrocardiogram to the new opportunities with multimodality imaging.

Atrial cardiomyopathy (AC) has been defined by the European Heart Rhythm Association as "Any complex of structural, architectural, contractile, or electrophysiologic changes in the atria with the potential to produce clinically relevant manifestations".1 The left atrium (LA) plays a key role in maintaining normal cardiac function; in fact atrial dysfunction has emerged as an essential determinant of outcomes in different clinical scenarios, such as valvular diseases, heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF). A comprehensive evaluation, both anatomical and functional, is routinely performed in cardiac imaging laboratories.

Investigation of the relationship between mathematics anxiety of nursing students and their self-efficacy in drug administration in children.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between nursing students' math anxiety and their self-efficacy in pediatric medication administration.

Background: Medication errors in pediatric patients are often linked to the precision required in dose calculations, posing significant risks to patient safety. Math anxiety, characterized by fear and worry, can impair students' performance in mathematical tasks, potentially reducing self-efficacy in medication administration.

Faces from colonial times: the collection of facial casts at the Sapienza University of Rome (Museum of Anthropology "G. Sergi")).

Founded in 1894, the Museum "G. Sergi" houses a variety of osteological materials and other collections, including several plaster facial casts from different human populations. This paper investigates this collection, which has been acquired (at least in part) in the framework of Italian colonialism, focusing on expeditions respectively led by Lidio Cipriani and Corrado Gini during the fascist regime.
