This study was conducted to establish cut-off scores for the subscales of the Caregiving System Scale (CSS). Two samples of Italian adults (N's = 682 and 227) completed the CSS. In the first sample, K-means node clustering and ROC curve analyses were conducted. Four caregiving profiles were identified and cut-off scores were calculated for classifying participants into these profiles. In the second sample, participants completed the CSS and the Attachment Style Questionnaire. Findings supported the presence of unique CSS profiles and meaningful connections between them and attachment orientations. This work offers a method for determining cut-off scores when gold-standard measures needed to run ROC curve analyses are unavailable.

Food safety continues to be a global concern threatening human life, especially in low-income countries where frequent electricity outages pose higher risks to food safety, increasing the risks of foodborne illnesses due to temperature fluctuations. This study aimed to assess the consumer's knowledge of food safety, beliefs, and household practices during electricity cut-off. A cross-sectional study among consumers in Lebanon was conducted using an online survey (n = 571).

To investigate the predictive value of nutritional status in heart failure (HF) patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), and to identify factors associated with ICD discharge and mortality. This retrospective study was conducted by analyzing data from 2017 to 2021. HF patients who underwent ICD implantation for primary prevention were included.

Background: The increase in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) examinations as a fundamental tool in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics raises the need for supportive computer-aided imaging analysis. Therefore, we evaluated the performance of a commercially available AI-based algorithm for prostate cancer detection and classification in a multi-center setting.
Methods: Representative patients with 3T mpMRI between 2017 and 2022 at three different university hospitals were selected.

: Pneumonitis caused by radiotherapy for lung cancer may be missed since it often occurs only several months later. In a previous trial including patients of any age, a scoring system was tested to facilitate the correct diagnosis of radiation pneumonitis. Since elderly lung cancer patients have a greater risk of developing this complication, a separate scoring system for this group appears useful.

Introduction: Pneumonia is one of the most common complications in patients suffering multiple traumas and is associated with an exceptionally high mortality rate. MIP-3-alpha and MIP-3-beta are pro-inflammatory chemokines expressed in the pulmonary mucosa and are reported to play a crucial role in inflammation. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate whether there is an association between MIP-3-alpha- and MIP-3-beta expression and manifestation of pneumonia in patients suffering polytrauma.
