Introduction: The reduction of background activity and the increase of low-frequency powers on electroencephalogram (EEG) correlate with cognitive impairment and have been suggested to be underpinned by cholinergic deficit. We aimed to investigate the ratio between α and θ band power (α/θ ratio), as a synoptic index of quantitative EEG (qEEG)...

Purpose: Epidemiological and logistical reasons are slowing the clinical validation of the molecular imaging biomarkers in the initial stages of neurocognitive disorders. We provide an updated systematic review of the recent advances (2017–2022), highlighting methodological shortcomings. Methods: Studies reporting the diagnostic accuracy values...

Recreational boating is a significant nature-based activity, which is especially popular in the Mediterranean region. This study analyses this activity in the last decade in the Portofino MPA, a popular recreational boating area in the Ligurian Region (northwest of the Italian peninsula) in order to evaluate the maximum turnout and to provide...

1. Seamounts host some of the most important deep-sea ecosystems. The unique environmental characteristics of seamounts sustain rich biological hot spots, which, in recent times, have suffered the effects of intense fishing pressure. 2. Biodiversity and vulnerability data are extremely scarce for Mediterranean seamounts, and this, in addition...
