Trajectories of affective and cognitive well-being at times of COVID-19 containment policies in Italy.

This paper draws on a subsample (N=851) of respondents to ITA.LI - Italian Lives - a recently established panel study on a probability sample of individuals aged 16+ living in Italy - to track changes in the affective (positive and negative emotions such as energy and sadness) and cognitive (life satisfaction) components of well-being during different COVID-19 policy phases, classified according to the severity of key government responses. An event-study design is employed, which uses mixed-effects ordered logistic models to investigate the change in SWB scores.

Differential effects of COVID-19 and containment measures on mental health: Evidence from ITA.LI-Italian Lives, the Italian household panel.

This study used a subsample of a household panel study in Italy to track changes in mental health before the onset of COVID-19 and into the first lockdown period, from late April to early September 2020. The results of the random-effects regression analyses fitted on a sample of respondents aged 16 years and older (N = 897) proved that there was a substantial and statistically significant short-term deterioration in mental health (from 78,5 to 67,9; β = -10.5, p < .

An Integrated Look at Well-Being: Topological Clustering of Combinations and Correlates of and .

Subjective measures of well-being are increasingly seen by scholars and policy makers as valuable tools to assess quality of life. accounts focus on people's experience of life in positive ways while accounts are concerned with realization of personal potential. However, to what extent do an "enjoyable" and a "flourishing" life overlap? Using an innovative clustering-and-projection technique (), the joint distributional patterns of multiple and well-being indicators were examined in a nationally representative longitudinal study of US adults (MIDUS).

Coprevalence and Incidence of Lung Cancer in Patients Screened for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

Background/aim: Lung diseases are common in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study evaluates the prevalence of lung cancer (LC) in high-risk patients screened for AAA.

Patients And Methods: Six hundred and one male patients (≥65 years of age, cardiovascular high-risk profile) were enrolled and followed prospectively over a median of 16.

Unbalanced human embryos secrete more hyperglycosylated human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG-H) than balanced ones.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the levels of hyperglycosylated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG-H) secreted from balanced and unbalanced human embryos.

Methods: Single-step culture media samples from 155 good quality embryos, derived from 90 good prognosis patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), were collected on the fifth day of embryo cultivation. All embryos were tested by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique.
