Introduction: The malnutrition prevalence's studies in patients with heart failure have a great variability. The proportion depends on the used method and the evaluation moment. Malnutrition increases complications, hospital stay, mortality and hospital reentry. It is good idea to diagnose and treat these patients.
Objectives: The objective was determined the prevalence of malnourished heart failure's patients in hospital at our environment and to analyze what used method was a better mortality predictor.
Method: Observational study. The nutritional status have been evaluated by Subjective Global Assessment and Mini Nutritional Assessment the nutritional status of 377 patients joined in a high complexity hospital with decompensation of chronic heart failure.
Results: The mean age was 75±10. The 51,5% (n=194) were men . According to the Subjective Global Assessment, 50,7 % (45,6 %-55,7 %) were normal nutrition, 41,9 % (37,0 %-46,9 %) were on risk of malnutrition and 7,4 % (5,2 %-10,5 %) were evident malnutrition.
Conclusion: The malnutrition prevalence's in hospital chronic heart failure patients by decompensation in our area is high. The Subjective global assessment is a good mortality predictor.

Background: The Physical Self has been defined as the set of perceptual, descriptive, and evaluative aspects that each person uses to describe his or her physical domains. The Revised Physical Self-Perception Profile questionnaire (PSPP-R) is a self-reported measure of physical self-concept domains, including a Perceived Importance Profile questionnaire that assesses the subjective importance assigned to physical domains. Although the PSPP-R has been validated in several countries, it has not been validated in the Italian context.

The advancement of autonomous driving technology, particularly Tesla's launch of its new Robotaxi, marks a transformation in transportation. Understanding the theoretical mechanisms that drive consumers' intention to use autonomous taxis is essential. This study develops a structural equation model (SEM), extending the applicability of the TAM and TPB model, and incorporates external factors like attitudes, subjective norms, traffic efficiency, and perceived cost-benefit into the model to analyze their impact on consumers' perceived characteristics (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use).

Background: Cognitive impairment poses a significant global health challenge, emphasizing the critical need for early detection and intervention. Traditional diagnostics like neuroimaging and clinical evaluations are often subjective, costly, and inaccessible, especially in resource-poor settings. Previous research has focused on speech analysis primarily conducted using English data, leaving multilingual settings unexplored.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased mental health issues, particularly among long-COVID patients, who experience persistent symptoms post-recovery, potentially leading to chronic conditions. The psychological impact of long-COVID is still largely unknown, but it may contribute to mental disorders like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Given the global rise in anxiety and depression, exploring therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for long-COVID traumatic disorders is crucial.
