Others' Deception Attitude Measure: Investigating its Psychometric Properties

Many people hold negative attitudes toward others who lie (Curtis, 2013; Curtis, 2015; Curtis & Hart, 2015; Curtis, Huang, & Nicks, 2015). Recently, a scale has been developed to measure attitudes toward others who employ deception, referred to as the Others' Deception Attitude Measure (ODAM; Curtis & Dickens, 2016). The ODAM is an adaptation of the Therapists' Attitudes Towards Deception Scale (TATDS) and Attitudes Toward Patient Deception Scale (ATPDS) and has been used in research investigating therapists attitudes toward client deception and nursing students' attitudes toward patient deception (Curtis, 2015; Curtis & Hart, 2015). The TATDS and ATPDS consisted of 44 items which assessed attitudes towards patients/clients who lie. The TATDS had high internal consistency reliability (alpha = .83) as well as the ATPDS (alpha = .88). The ODAM consist of two subscales (specific and global attitudes) containing 23 of the 24 items from the TATDS and ATPDS that assesses attitudes toward deception. The ODAM changes the wording of patient or therapist to person. The purpose of the current study is to exam the psychometric properties of the ODAM. The inter item reliability and test-retest reliability of the ODAM will be explored. The ODAM will also be compared to other measures to explore its convergent validity and compared to a theoretically unrelated measure to explore its discriminate validity

Independent susceptibility markers for atrial fibrillation on chromosome 4q25

Background-: Genetic variants on chromosome 4q25 are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine whether there is more than 1 susceptibility signal at this locus. Methods and results-: Thirty-four haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the 4q25 locus were genotyped in 790 case and 1177 control subjects from Massachusetts General Hospital and tested for association with AF. We replicated SNPs associated with AF after adjustment for the most significantly associated SNP in 5066 case and 30 661 referent subjects from the German Competence Network for Atrial Fibrillation, Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities Study, Cleveland Clinic Lone AF Study, Cardiovascular Health Study, and Rotterdam Study. All subjects were of European ancestry. A multimarker risk score composed of SNPs that tagged distinct AF susceptibility signals was constructed and tested for association with AF, and all results were subjected to meta-analysis. The previously reported SNP, rs2200733, was most significantly associated with AF (minor allele odds ratio 1.80, 95% confidence interval 1.50 to 2.15, P=1.2×10) in the discovery sample. Adjustment for rs2200733 genotype revealed 2 additional susceptibility signals marked by rs17570669 and rs3853445. A graded risk of AF was observed with an increasing number of AF risk alleles at SNPs that tagged these 3 susceptibility signals. Conclusions-: We identified 2 novel AF susceptibility signals on chromosome 4q25. Consideration of multiple susceptibility signals at chromosome 4q25 identifies individuals with an increased risk of AF and may localize regulatory elements at the locus with biological relevance in the pathogenesis of AF

Determinants of weight, psychological status, food contemplation and lifestyle changes in patients with obesity during the COVID-19 lockdown: a nationwide survey using multiple correspondence analysis

Introduction The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced most of the Italian population into lockdown from 11 March to 18 May 2020. A nationwide survey of Italian Clinical Nutrition and Dietetic Services (Obesity Centers or OCs) was carried out to assess the impact of lockdown restrictions on the physical and mental wellbeing of patients with obesity (PWO) who had follow-up appointments postponed due to lockdown restrictions and to compare determinants of weight gain before and after the pandemic. Methods We designed a structured 77-item questionnaire covering employment status, diet, physical activity and psychological aspects, that was disseminated through follow-up calls and online between 2 May and 25 June 2020. Data were analyzed by multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and multiple linear regression. Results A total of 1,232 PWO from 26 OCs completed the questionnaires (72% female, mean age 50.2 +/- 14.2 years; mean BMI 34.7 +/- 7.6 kg/m(2); 41% obesity class II to III). During the lockdown, 48.8% gained, 27.1% lost, while the remainder (24.1%) maintained their weight. The mean weight change was +2.3 +/- 4.8 kg (in weight gainers: +4.0 +/- 2.4 kg; +4.2% +/- 5.4%). Approximately 37% of participants experienced increased emotional difficulties, mostly fear and dissatisfaction. Sixty-one percent reduced their physical activity (PA) and 55% experienced a change in sleep quality/quantity. The lack of online contact (37.5%) with the OC during lockdown strongly correlated with weight gain (p < 0.001). Using MCA, two main clusters were identified: those with unchanged or even improved lifestyles during lockdown (Cluster 1) and those with worse lifestyles during the same time (Cluster 2). The latter includes unemployed people experiencing depression, boredom, dissatisfaction and increased food contemplation and weight gain. Within Cluster 2, homemakers reported gaining weight and experiencing anger due to home confinement. Conclusions Among Italian PWO, work status, emotional dysregulation, and lack of online communication with OCs were determinants of weight gain during the lockdown period

PETIT VERDOT,MEGLIO SE IN PUREZZA. L'INNOVAZIONE DI PRODOTTO NELLA SICILIA ENOLOGICA.

Il settore vitivinicolo siciliano negli ultimi anni ha subito profonde e radicali trasformazioni, risultato di nuove filosofie operative applicate alla gestione dei processi produttivi e funzionali alla produzione di una tipologia di vini di qualità con caratteristiche nutraceutiche e sensoriali di pregio, in linea con le richieste del consumatore moderno, alla ricerca di prodotti che rispondano a esigenze di qualità, igiene e sicurezza alimentare. In Sicilia, nel recente passato, la crescita culturale di una nuova fascia di giovani imprenditori sensibili alle innovazioni di processo e di prodotto ha reso possibile il trasferimento dei risultati della ricerca scientifica al processo produttivo e il successo riportato del Nero d''Avola, affermatosi nei canali di commercializzazione su scala mondiale quale prodotto innovativo diqualità, può essere considerato il riferimento principe di una politica di gestione produttiva vitivinicola moderna. Sul piano economico, i riflessi negativi che oggi interessano il settore vitivinicolo di Paesi storici produttori di vino, quali Italia e Francia, sembrano essere riconducibili alle nuove strategie di mercato dettate da una competizione globalizzata, che vede Paesi emergenti, come Stati Uniti, Cile, Argentina, Australia e Cina competere nel mercato internazionale con prezzi nettamente più convenienti rispetto a quelli italiani e francesi. Si rende necessario quindi dotare i prodotti siciliani di un sempre maggiore valore aggiunto, attraverso l''implementazione di idee e progetti finalizzati all''innovazione di processo e di prodotto, con particolare riferimento alla produzione di nuove tipologie di vini con caratteristiche nutraceutiche e sensoriali di eccellenza. In questa ottica si inserisce lo scopo di questo lavoro, finalizzato alla caratterizzazione, qualificazione e valorizzazione di vini rossi prodotti in Sicilia da uve nere della varietà Petit Verdot, un vitigno di origine bordolese comparso di recente nel panorama vitivinicolo siciliano

Targeting T and B lymphocytes with radiolabelled antibodies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications

Acute and chronic forms of inflammation may occur years before the onset of specific symptoms, on which the clinical diagnosis can be settled, and may last for years after the clinical diagnosis and the onset of treatment. Therefore, to develop a sensitive and specific diagnostic tool several novel molecules/ receptors identified and new antibodies have been radiolabelled with different radionuclides, as per their need for diagnosis or therapy. Cluster of differentiation (CD) molecules are markers on the cell surface used to identify the cell type, stage of differentiation and activity of a cell. These CD markers are recognized by specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). These radiolabelled mAbs bind to their targets with high affinity and specificity and consequently have an excellent diagnostic and/ or therapeutic potential. In the last two decades, the radiolabelled mAbs have demonstrated its significant impact on diagnosis and radioimmunotherapy. In this review article, we will discuss different possible targets for T and B cells and their radiolabelled mAbs for molecular imaging and radioimmunotherapy
