Professional and personal experiences of workplace violence among Italian mental health nurses: A qualitative study.

Background: Violence against healthcare workers in psychiatric settings is a concern in the literature. Violence effects for healthcare professionals and organizations include an absence from work due to injury or illness, a decreased job satisfaction, and a lower quality of work. The aim of this study is to identify the consequences of violence on the health, work habits, and performance of nurses working with psychiatric patients.

HDR vision sensor with neuro-memristive skin detection for edge computing.

Human skin classification is an essential task for several machine vision applications such as human-machine interfaces, people/object tracking, and classification. In this paper, we describe a hybrid CMOS/memristor vision sensor architecture embedding skin detection over a wide dynamic range. In-sensor RGB to -chromaticity color-space conversion is executed on-the-fly through a pixel-level automatic exposure time control.

Novel molecular, structural and clinical findings in an Italian cohort of congenital cataract.

The current genetic diagnostic workup of congenital cataract (CC) is mainly based on NGS panels, whereas exome sequencing (ES) has occasionally been employed. In this multicentre study, we investigated by ES the detection yield, mutational spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations in a CC cohort recruited between 2020 and mid-2022. The cohort consisted of 67 affected individuals from 51 unrelated families and included both non-syndromic (75%) and syndromic (25%) phenotypes, with extra-CC ocular/visual features present in both groups (48% and 76%, respectively).

Further evidence supporting the role of GTDC1 in glycine metabolism and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Copy number variants (CNVs) represent the genetic cause of about 15-20% of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). We identified a ~67 kb de novo intragenic deletion on chromosome 2q22.3 in a female individual showing a developmental encephalopathy characterised by epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, speech delay, microcephaly, and thin corpus callosum with facial dysmorphisms.
