Psychiatric hospitalizations among adolescents during the pandemic in Italy: a retrospective study.
Int J Adolesc Med Health
December 2024
Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted child and adolescent mental health. The study outcome was the evaluation of the pandemic impact on adolescents' hospitalizations in an acute psychiatric ward.
Methods: With an observational and retrospective design, we collected selected variables among adolescents hospitalized in an acute psychiatric ward from 01/07/2017 to 30/06/2022.
Background: Croatia is a geographically small country with a remarkable diversity of cultivated and spontaneous grapevines. Local germplasm has been characterised by microsatellite markers, but a detailed analysis based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is still lacking. Here we characterize the genetic diversity of 149 accessions from three germplasm repositories and four natural sites using 516,101 SNPs to identify complete parent-offspring trios and their relations with spontaneous populations, offering a proof-of-concept for the use of reduced-representation genome sequencing in population genetics and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

- The space environment poses various stressors on plant physiology, including both abiotic factors like radiation, altered gravity, and light conditions, as well as biotic interactions with pathogens and beneficial organisms.
- An overview of these stressors reveals how they affect plant growth and development in space.
- Understanding these effects is essential for future space missions and can improve plant breeding and agricultural practices on Earth.
Effects of thyroid hormones in skeletal muscle protein turnover.

Article Synopsis
- * Thyroid dysfunctions, such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, can lead to various muscle issues, including weakness, fatigue, and myopathies, due to imbalances in muscle protein synthesis and degradation.
- * Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind THs' effects on muscle can help develop strategies to manage muscle problems in individuals with thyroid diseases.
(1) The pandemic lowered by 10% the psychological wellness among adolescents worldwide. (2) This observational retrospective study compared the demographic and clinical variables of male and female adolescents hospitalized in an acute psychiatric ward during the pre-pandemic, from 1 July 2017 to 28 February 2020, and the pandemic/post-pandemic, from 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2023. (3) In total, 153 adolescents of 15.
