Age‐appropriate multidisciplinary approach to young children with cancer undergoing radiotherapy: The SIESTA procedure

Carlo Alfredo Clerici, Andrea Ferrari, Emilia Pecori, Barbara Diletto, more

Pediatric Blood & Cancer > 68 > 1 > n/a - n/a

A standardized multidisciplinary step‐by‐step approach to improve the compliance of young (or difficult) children having to undergo radiotherapy was described and applied. The procedure is called SIESTA, which stands for show‐imagination‐evaluation‐support‐treatment‐anesthesia. Preliminary assessments suggest that the SIESTA approach was effective: the rate of young patients (≤6 years) requiring anesthesia...

Pharmacology of Nutraceuticals with Lipid Lowering Properties

Andrea Poli, Francesco Visioli

High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention > 2019 > 26 > 2 > 113-118

Lowering total and, in particular, LDL cholesterol reduces cardiovascular risk and clinical events. Cholesterol-lowering strategies are manifold. Better diets and positive lifestyle changes are the foremost approach; the use of functional foods, of food supplements/nutraceuticals, and pharmacological treatment must be considered in patients with increasing lipid abnormalities and or increasing cardiovascular...

Eating and Weight Disorders - Studies on Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity > 2019 > 24 > 3 > 411-419

The increasing life expectancy at birth and the improvement of general health observed worldwide over the previous years are likely due to many factors. In this regard, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has highlighted the favourable situation of the Italian population, which is amongst the most privileged in the world. In Italy, the national healthcare system is easily...

Nutraceuticals and functional foods for the control of plasma cholesterol levels. An intersociety position paper

Andrea Poli, Carlo M. Barbagallo, Arrigo F.G. Cicero, Alberto Corsini, more

Pharmacological Research > 2018 > 134 > C > 51-60

Current evidence shows that cholesterol management either reduces the likelihood of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or slows down its progression. Hence, it is important that all health professionals make appropriate use of all the available intervention strategies to control risk factors: from dietary improvement and positive lifestyle changes to the use of functional foods, food supplements, and drugs...

Metacognitive beliefs as a predictor of health anxiety in a self‐reporting Italian clinical sample

Gabriele Melli, Robin Bailey, Claudia Carraresi, Andrea Poli

Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy > 25 > 2 > 263 - 271

Research has supported the specific role that anxiety sensitivity, health‐related dysfunctional beliefs, and metacognitive beliefs may play in the development and maintenance of health anxiety symptoms. However, the role of metacognitive beliefs in health anxiety has only been explored in analogue samples. The aim of this study was to explore for the first time the association between metacognitive...

Nicola Gianotti, Andrea Poli, Silvia Nozza, Laura Galli, more

BMC Infectious Diseases > 2017 > 17 > 1 > 1-8

Background Switch strategies based on rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine or on an integrase inhibitor (InSTI) plus tenofovir/emtricitabine have never been compared in randomized clinical trials. The main aim of the study was to investigate the durability of these two switch regimens in virologically suppressed, HIV-infected patients. Methods Retrospective analysis of patients who started rilpivirine...

The role of guilt sensitivity in OCD symptom dimensions

Gabriele Melli, Claudia Carraresi, Andrea Poli, Donatella Marazziti, more

Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy > 24 > 5 > 1079 - 1089

Although some studies have found that guilt may precede, motivate, or be a consequence of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), the relationship between guilt and OCD has been under investigated. The studies that explored the role of trait guilt (guilt propensity) in OCD reported inconsistent findings and failed to support its predictive role. Since it has been suggested that OCD patients perceive...

Anxiety sensitivity and obsessive-compulsive symptom dimensions: Further evidence of specific relationships in a clinical sample

Andrea Poli, Gabriele Melli, Marta Ghisi, Gioia Bottesi, more

Personality and Individual Differences > 2017 > 109 > C > 130-136

The relationship between anxiety sensitivity (AS) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been widely recognized. The specific relationships between AS dimensions and OCD symptom dimensions are less often investigated and the existing studies have shown several limitations and have reported inconsistent results. The present study analyzed the role of AS dimensions in OCD, focusing on different...

Associations of statins and antiretroviral drugs with the onset of type 2 diabetes among HIV-1-infected patients

Vincenzo Spagnuolo, Laura Galli, Andrea Poli, Stefania Salpietro, more

BMC Infectious Diseases > 2017 > 17 > 1 > 1-10

Background Statin use is associated with a modest increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) among the general population. However, HIV-infected patients have a higher risk of developing DM, and it is unclear whether statins have a diabetogenic effect in these patients. Therefore, we investigated the associations of statin use and exposure to antiretroviral drugs with type 2 DM onset...

The differential relationship between mental contamination and the core dimensions of contact contamination fear

Gabriele Melli, Francesco Bulli, Claudia Carraresi, Federica Tarantino, more

Journal of Anxiety Disorders > 2017 > 45 > C > 9-16

Two types of contamination fear are recognized: contact and mental contamination. Contact contamination appears to be motivated both by harm avoidance and disgust avoidance. This study aimed to examine the relationships between disgust propensity, mental contamination and contact contamination while differentiating between harm avoidance and disgust avoidance in contact contamination. 169 OCD patients...

Is it more disgusting if I think about it? Examining the interaction of obsessive beliefs and disgust propensity in clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder

Gabriele Melli, Richard Moulding, Andrea Poli

Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders > 2016 > 11 > C > 74-81

Independent lines of research have identified disgust propensity and obsessive beliefs to be important affective and cognitive processes in contamination symptoms. In non-clinical samples, a previous study integrated these lines of research and found that disgust propensity more strongly predicted two different measures of contamination fears when obsessive beliefs – particularly overestimation of...

The role of metacognitive beliefs in health anxiety

Gabriele Melli, Claudia Carraresi, Andrea Poli, Robin Bailey

Personality and Individual Differences > 2016 > 89 > Complete > 80-85

Research has supported the specific role that anxiety sensitivity and health-related dysfunctional cognitions may have in the development and maintenance of health anxiety symptoms. Recent evidence suggests that metacognitive beliefs may also be instrumental in the symptomatology of health anxiety. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between metacognitive beliefs and health...

Recent evidence on omega 6 fatty acids and cardiovascular risk

Andrea Poli, Francesco Visioli

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology > 117 > 11 > 1847 - 1852

As evidence accumulates, our knowledge of the role of individual fatty acids in cardiovascular disease improves. This re‐evaluation is being applied to poly‐ (PUFAs) and mono‐ (MUFAs) unsaturated fatty acids. Among the former, omega 6 (or n‐6) fatty acids from vegetables and seed oils have always been labeled as cardioprotective. However, this notion was challenged in the 80s, when in vitro data...

Omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels are reduced in whole blood of Italian patients with a recent myocardial infarction: the AGE-IM study

Franca Marangoni, Giuseppina Novo, Giampiero Perna, Pasquale Perrone Filardi, more

Atherosclerosis > 2014 > 232 > 2 > 334-338

The relationship between whole blood fatty acids and myocardial infarction (MI) risk has not been analyzed in detail, especially in Mediterranean countries. The AGE-IM (Acidi Grassi Essenziali e Infarto Miocardico) study was planned to examine the relationships between MI, whole blood fatty acids and the diet in an Italian cohort.119 Patients with a recent MI and 103 control subjects were enrolled...
