Validation and TaqMan Conversion of a Molecular Chronotype Assessment Approach
Biscontin A, Russo A, Marnetto D, Pagani L, Costa R, Montagnese S J Biol Rhythms The present study aimed to develop a TaqMan genotyping card for molecular chronotype assessment based on a predictive panel of 35 previously identified genetic variants. A reliable TaqMan assay was successfully developed for 33 out of the 35 chronotype-predictive variants. […]
Assessing evidence in translational chronobiology: The cases of Daylight Saving Time and road safety, and of school start times and sleep duration
Giusti G, Mangini C, Erminelli D, Domenie ED, Montagnese S Chronobiology International One of the main challenges in translating chronobiology research into clinical practice is represented by differences in how basic scientists and clinicians evaluate evidence. The workshop “Assessing Evidence in Translational Chronobiology,” which was held at the University of Surrey in June 2023, addressed […]
Electrophysiological and hemodynamic mechanisms underlying load modulations in visuospatial working memory: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) study
Zarantonello L, Brigadoi S, Schiff S, Bisiacchi PS, Cutini S, Montagnese S, Amodio P Behav Neurosci The n-back task has been widely used to study working memory. Previous studies investigating the electrophysiological (electroencephalogram [EEG]) and hemodynamic correlates (functional near-infrared spectroscopy [fNIRS]) of the n-back task have been generally based on verbal stimuli and only investigated […]
Long-term effects of daylight saving time on driving fatigue
Orsini F, Domenie ED, Zarantonello L, Costa R, Montagnese S, Rossi R Heliyon The study of the relationship between Daylight Saving Time (DST) and road safety has yielded contrasting results, most likely in relation to the inability of crash-database approaches to unravel positive (ambient lighting-related) and negative (circadian/sleep-related) effects, and to significant geographical differences in […]
Proton pump inhibitor use and risk of hepatic encephalopathy: A multicentre study
Gairing SJ, Mangini C, Zarantonello L, Jonasson E, Dobbermann H, Sultanik P, Galle PR, Labenz J, Thabut D, Marquardt JU, Bloom PP, Lauridsen MM, Montagnese S, Labenz C JHEP Rep Background & aims: Data on the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are conflicting, and data from multicentre studies are […]
