Who benefits from a country's scientific research? [PDF]
Abramo, G., D'Angelo, C.A. (2018). Who benefits from a country's
scientific research? Journal of Informetrics, 12(1), 249-258, 2018 When a publication is cited it generates a benefit. Through the country affiliations of the citing authors, it is possible to work upwards, tracing the countries that benefit from results produced in a national research system. In this work we take the knowledge flow from Italy as an example.

Clinical utility of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers measured by LUMIPULSE® system
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1898-1909, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are well‐established in research settings, but their use in routine clinical practice remains a largely unexploited potential. Here, we examined the relationship between CSF biomarkers, measured by a fully automated immunoassay platform, and brain β‐amyloid (Aβ ...

New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

Brain magnetic resonance imaging predictors in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor encephalitis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1974-1984, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis are nonspecific and rarely have obvious associations with clinical characteristics and outcomes. This study aimed to comprehensively describe the MRI features of patients with NMDAR encephalitis, examine their associations with ...

Mathematical Modeling and Investigation on the Role of Demography and Contact Patterns in Social Distancing Measures Effectiveness in COVID-19 Dissemination [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this article, we investigate the importance of demographic and contact patterns in determining the spread of COVID-19 and to the effectiveness of social distancing policies. We investigate these questions proposing an augmented epidemiological model with an age-structured model, with the population divided into susceptible (S), exposed (E), infected
