Aim: For a few years, teledentistry has been an emerging innovative strategy with potential in the field of paediatric dentistry. There are still few studies in this regard, so further research is needed to verify and ensure that teledentistry is not only an accessible mode of communication, but above all effective and evidence-based. This study aimed to use a preliminary telematic approach to promote the compliance of patients in the developmental age during the first dental visit.
Materials: Two hundred patients were selected according to the eligibility criteria, and distributed in two groups: a study group with the preliminary telematic approach (ATP) before the first visit and a control group with traditional first visit without ATP. Through an ordinal semi-proportional regression model, the degrees of collaboration between the study and control groups were compared, correcting the estimate for age groups, the presence of systemic pathologies, disorders of cognition, attention and learning, degree of anxiety and previous medical-dental experiences.
Conclusion: The preliminary telematic approach could be useful as a support to the traditional paediatric dental visit, to promote better management and fidelity of the patient, reducing anxiety and increasing collaboration during the first visit.

Personality can be considered a system characterized by complex dynamics that are extremely adaptive depending on continuous interactions with the environment and situations. The present preliminary study explores the dynamic interplay between brain flexibility and personality by taking the dynamic approach to personality into account, thereby drawing from Cloninger's psychobiological model. 46 healthy individuals were recruited, and their brain dynamics were assessed using magnetoencephalography (MEG) during the resting state.

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is crucial in the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological conditions. Elevated ICP or too low intracranial compliance (ICC) can compromise brain perfusion. Simultaneous monitoring of ICP and ICC is needed to optimize patient-specific brain perfusion in pathological conditions.

Background/objectives: Microbiota modification at the endometrial level can favor gynecological diseases and impair women's fertility. The overgrowth of pathogen microorganisms is related to the contemporary alteration of estrogen-metabolizing bacteria, including β-glucuronidase, thereby enhancing estrogen-related inflammatory states and decreasing anti-inflammatory cells. The possible connection between estrobolome impairment and gynecological diseases has been suggested in animal models.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a training program utilizing action perception technology (PAD) tools on improving the motor reaction times and neuromuscular capabilities of the upper and lower limbs compared to a traditional training program. Twenty-four female volleyball players competing in the Italian national championship were randomized into two groups of 12 athletes each: an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). A preliminary analysis confirmed the absence of significant differences in age and anthropometric characteristics between the groups.
