In the context of the INSIDER European project, the suitability of existing methodologies for in-situ measurements under constraint environments in nuclear facilities following a decommissioning and dismantling (D&D) process was analysed. Firstly, an analysis of the different methodologies for in-situ measurements was made along with a study of the different types of constrained environments that could appear in the D&D process as well as their expected level of impact on the measurement methodologies. Based on this analysis, a decision-helping tool for the selection of the suitable in-situ equipment/detector to be used in nuclear facilities for the different phases in any D&D process has been developed, depending on the constrained environment. This tool is named INSPECT, acronym for In-Situ Probe SelECtion Tool. The software is therefore potentially of use to those working in radiological characterization with in-situ instrumentation in any radiological or nuclear D&D process.

Arterial hypertension and increased atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) are strong predictors of cardiovascular risk associated in individuals with obesity both in adults and children. Thus, we aimed to explore the relationship between AIP and systolic ambulatory blood pressure index (sABPI) with left ventricular geometry pattern in obese children. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 129 obese children (BMI greater or equal to the 95th percentile for age and sex) were examined.

The accurate diagnosis of aging-related neurocognitive disorders as early as possible, even in a phase that is characterized by the absence of clinical symptoms, is nowadays the holy grail of the neurosciences. R4Alz-R is a novel cognitive tool designed to objectively detect the subtle cognitive changes that emerge as the very first result of the aging processes and could be developed and broadened in a continuum from healthy aging to subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), before reaching some type of dementia. The goal of the present study was to examine whether the R4Alz-R battery has the potential to detect these subtle changes.
