Ensuring safety in psychiatry is crucial, but practices vary widely. This study aimed to validate the Italian version of the Ward Safety and Security Rules Survey (WSSRS-I). The validation process included cultural-linguistic adaptation, followed by content and face validation. Fifteen experts assessed content validity using the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (item level [I-CVI] and scale level [S-CVI]), adjusted for chance agreement (k*). Five psychiatric nurses evaluated face validity. The WSSRS-I achieved substantial agreement on cultural-linguistic adaptation (Fleiss's kappa = .85) and item relevance (CVRs = .60-1; I-CVIs = .73-1; k* = .72-1; S-CVI = 0.90). Psychiatric nurses confirmed WSSRS-I appropriateness. The WSSRS-I demonstrated adequate content and face validity. It provides a tool to assess safety measures in Italian psychiatric settings, enhancing psychiatric nursing practices and research.

Machine learning-based interpretation of non-contrast feature tracking strain analysis and T1/T2 mapping for assessing myocardial viability.

Assessing myocardial viability is crucial for managing ischemic heart disease. While late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for viability evaluation, it has limitations, including contraindications in patients with renal dysfunction and lengthy scan times. This study investigates the potential of non-contrast CMR techniques-feature tracking strain analysis and T1/T2 mapping-combined with machine learning (ML) models, as an alternative to LGE-CMR for myocardial viability assessment.

For the purpose of this study, four natural rock samples-namely, diorite, granodiorite, tonalite, and granite-are being investigated about their radiation attenuation. The elemental composition of the rocks was obtained through Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) which examines the microstructural and localized area elemental analyses of the four rock samples. A Monte Carlo simulation (MCNP) was used to determine and evaluate the investigated samples.

Impact of thrombus composition on virtual thrombectomy procedures using human clot analogues mechanical data.

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) aims at restoring blood flow in case of acute ischemic stroke by removing the thrombus occluding a large cerebral artery. During the procedure with stent-retriever, the thrombus is captured within the device, which is then retrieved, subjecting the thrombus to several forces, potentially leading to its fragmentation. In silico studies, along with mechanical characterisation of thrombi, can enhance our understanding of the EVT, helping the development of new devices and interventional strategies.
