Impact of the 2023/24 autumn-winter COVID-19 seasonal booster campaign in preventing severe COVID-19 cases in Italy (October 2023-March 2024).

We assessed the impact of the 2023/2024 COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Italy by estimating the number of averted COVID-19 severe cases (i.e. COVID-19 associated hospitalisations or deaths) between October 2023 and March 2024, in those aged ≥60 years.

Application to combine questioning, stimulus presentation and external measurements in a real-life music eye tracking experiment.

Studying people in real-life situations, such as making music in a vocal group, requires flexible and integrative measurement technology. Therefore, a digital browser-based survey instrument was developed for this study. It was designed to seamlessly introduce questions on participants' mobile devices through external control immediately after relevant events, aiming to achieve high accuracy in self-administered situational questions.

Haemoglobinopathies and other rare anemias in Spain: ten years of a nationwide registry (REHem-AR).

REHem-AR was created in 2013. The progressive implementation of neonatal screening for haemoglobinopathies in Spanish autonomous communities where the registry had not been implemented, as well as the addition of new centres during this period, has considerably increased the sample of patients covered. In this study, we update our previous publication in this area, after a follow-up of more than 5 years.

The gut microbiome modulates the impact of Anaerobutyricum soehngenii supplementation on glucose homeostasis in mice.

Background: There is growing interest in the development of next-generation probiotics to prevent or treat metabolic syndrome. Previous studies suggested that may represent a promising probiotic candidate. A recent human study showed that while supplementation is well tolerated and safe, it resulted in variable responses among individuals with a subset of the subjects significantly benefiting from the treatment.
