Italian RFs can be distinguished into five main types: high-intensity rehabilitation (RF1), medium-intensity rehabilitation (RF2), medium-level support (RF3.1), high-level support (RF3.

- This study looked at how men and women in a mental health service in Italy set and achieve their recovery goals over six months.
- The researchers found that women focused on improving their relationships, while men mainly aimed to find work-related goals.
- By the end of the study, both men and women showed improvements in their recovery, but women's focus on relationships changed after some found partners.
Aims: People with mental disorders frequently report experiences of discrimination within mental health services, which can have significant detrimental effects on individuals' well-being and recovery. This study aimed to develop and validate a new standardized measure aiming to assess experiences of stigmatization among people with mental disorders within mental health services.
Methods: The scale was developed in Italian and tested for ease of use, comprehension, acceptability, relevance of items and response options within focus group session.
Calcium dynamics in astrocytes represent a fundamental signal that through gliotransmitter release regulates synaptic plasticity and behaviour. Here we present a longitudinal study in the PS2APP mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) linking astrocyte Ca hypoactivity to memory loss. At the onset of plaque deposition, somatosensory cortical astrocytes of AD female mice exhibit a drastic reduction of Ca signaling, closely associated with decreased endoplasmic reticulum Ca concentration and reduced expression of the Ca sensor STIM1.
