This research, supported by various institutions, offers potential new treatment options for patients with NSCLC. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli' in Italy explored the protective effects of anthocyanin and alpha-tocopherol against titanium dioxide nanoparticle-induced DNA damage in human sperm cells. The research found that these compounds were able to attenuate sperm DNA damage caused by nanoparticles, potentially by activating natural defense and DNA repair systems in sperm cells. These results offer valuable insights into potential therapeutic strategies to prevent nanomaterial-induced toxicity in human germ cells. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli' in Italy explored the dynamics of reciprocity versus self-interest in competitive interactions. The research involved 276 participants engaging in simulated interactions with fictitious opponents who displayed selfish, fair, or altruistic behaviors. Results indicated that participants were more inclined to prioritize reciprocity over self-interest, even when it conflicted with their personal goals. The study also found that affective states and beliefs were influenced by the experimental manipulation but did not mediate decision-making. This peer-reviewed research sheds light on the complex interplay between social norms and individual motivations in competitive contexts. [Extracted from the article]

The findings were published in the Journal of Career Development and have been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Italy examined the cognitive predictors of drawing and block building in typically developing children aged 7-11 years. The research found that figure disembedding and visuo-motor coordination were shared predictors of both tasks, while specific predictors varied between the tasks. The study provides insights for neuropsychological assessment and intervention in children with spatial construction disorders. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Italy examines the prevalence of mental health conditions among university students seeking psychological help. The study conducted a systematic search of scientific databases and included 36 studies with a total of 7,432 participants. The findings indicate that university students accessing counseling services exhibited significant psychological distress, including depressive and anxiety symptoms. However, counseling interventions were found to be effective in improving students' mental health. The study suggests the need for mental health promotion activities for university students.

A recent study conducted by investigators at the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli' in Caserta, Italy, explored the prevalence and clinical profile of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). The study found that RLS is more common in PD patients, with a prevalence of 20%. PD-RLS was associated with female sex, mixed motor phenotype, worse motor disturbances and functional disability, and a wide range of non-motor symptoms such as sleep disorders, cognitive and autonomic dysfunctions, and more severe neuropsychiatric manifestations. The study suggests that neurotransmitter systems other than the dopaminergic one may be involved in the etiology of PD-RLS. [Extracted from the article]

New research conducted at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Italy explores the correlation between chasing behavior, craving, decision-making styles, and gambling severity among habitual Italian gamblers. The study found that craving is a predictor of chasing behavior, and individuals with a dependent decision-making style exhibited lower tendencies to chase. Interestingly, gambling severity did not feature in the final models of the regression analyses. These findings suggest that tailoring intervention strategies based on individual decision-making styles could be instrumental in more effective treatment for gambling disorder.

A report from the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli' in Caserta, Italy discusses the influence of encapsulation metal hydroxy flavones in 2-hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin (HP-I3-CD) on their DNA binding and anti-cancerous activities. The study found that inclusion complexation of metal-hydroxy flavones with HP-I3-CD enhanced their anti-cancerous and anti-microbial potentials. The research also revealed that certain complexes exhibited less cancer cell viability and excellent response against bacterial strains. This study provides new insights into the potential use of drug delivery systems based on HP-I3-CD in the treatment of cancer. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Caserta, Italy, examined the fear of hypoglycemia in parents of children with type 1 diabetes before and after training in intranasal glucagon administration.
