Published: November 2004

The trend analysis of the data base of the Italian Network of Cancer Registries has had a descriptive approach. The period of study has been from 1986 to 1997. Within this period we have included only nine Registries that were active for at least ten years (pool AIRT). For three Registries few lacking incidence years have been estimated according to their observed data. For the pool of Registries standardised (standard = European population) incidence and mortality rates have been computed with the direct method. The so called joinpoint analysis has been used to detect temporal points of trend change. Trends have been summarised by means of estimated annual percent change (EAPC) of the rate. Age-specific and birth cohort-specific rates have been also computed.

Childhood BMI trajectories and sociodemographic factors in an Italian pediatric population.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Unit of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Public Health, Department of Cardio-Thoraco- Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padua, Padua, Italy.

Childhood obesity is a growing global concern due to its long-term health consequences. Yet, more research relying on multiple time-point BMI measurements is warranted to gain further insight into obesity's temporal trends. We aimed to identify BMI trajectories in children aged 2-10 years and evaluate their association with sociodemographic factors.

Predicting disease trajectories in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) can allow designing personalized therapeutic strategies. In this study, we aimed to show that measuring patients' plasticity - that is the susceptibility to modify the mental state - identifies at baseline who will recover, anticipating the time to transition to wellbeing. We conducted a secondary analysis in two randomized clinical trials, STAR*D and CO-MED.

Unit of Internal Medicine and Clinical Oncology "G. Baccelli", Department of Precision and Regenerative Medicine and Ionian Area (DiMePRe-J), University of Bari Aldo Moro Medical School, Bari, Italy.

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) entail a diverse group of disorders resulting from hereditary or de novo mutations in single genes, leading to immune dysregulation. This study explores the clinical utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques in diagnosing monogenic immune defects. Eight patients attending the immunodeficiency clinic and with unclassified antibody deficiency were included in the analysis.

This document aims to provide good practice recommendations in order to support maternal-foetal medicine specialists, clinical geneticists and clinical laboratory geneticists in the management of pregnancies obtained after the transfer of an embryo tested with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). It was drafted by geneticists expert in preimplantation genetics and prenatal genetic diagnosis belonging to the "Working Group in Cytogenomics, Prenatal and Reproductive Genetics" of the "Italian Society of Human Genetics" (SIGU). In particular, the paper addresses the diagnostic algorithm to be applied in prenatal follow-up depending on the type of PGT performed, the results obtained and the related diagnostic value based on the most recent literature data and Italian and international recommendations.
