Smoking-related gestures and anxiety
Background The act of smoking is not solely driven by nicotine dependence, but also involves behavioral and sensorimotor components that may independently contribute to addiction maintenance. Among these, gestural rituals such as holding and bringing the cigarette to the mouth may play a role in emotional regulation and self-soothing, particularly in individuals with anxiety. This study aimed to explore the relationship between smoking-related ge…
Evoked craving in high-dose benzodiazepine users
Moreover, the use of VR can be a good choice to observe environmental craving for BDZs since it presents a realistic simulation of real-world settings
Cancer mortality and sectors of employment
The results showed an increased risk of cancer death in some traditional industrial sectors compared to the reference category of insurance activities such as construction and wood and leather products and limited evidence in sectors like cleaning, accommodation and food services and hairdressing. The adopted method proved to be effective in monitoring occupational risks and activating proper prevention initiatives and further insights
The Association of Self-Reported Birthweight with Lung Function and Respiratory Diseases
Early life conditions are associated with lung function and the development of respiratory and non-respiratory illnesses. The relationship with birthweight (BW), however, is conflicting. We examined associations of self-reported BW with lung function and the development of respiratory and also non-respiratory diseases within the GEIRD (Gene-Environment Interaction in Respiratory Diseases) project, an Italian multi-centre, multi-case control study…
Weekend Mortality in an Italian Hospital
our data suggest that the immediate availability of an intensivist coordinating a MET 24 h, 7 days a week can result in a better prognosis of in-hospital emergencies compared to delayed consultation
Effects of Respiratory Disorders on Smoking Cessation and Re-Initiation in an Italian Cohort Study
The present study aims to prospectively assess the influence of respiratory disorders on smoking cessation and re-initiation. Three population-based Italian cohorts answered a questionnaire on respiratory health and smoking habits during 1998-2001 and after a mean follow-up (SD) of 9.1 (0.8) years. Out of 1874 current smokers and 1166 ex-smokers at baseline, 965 (51.5%) and 735 (63.0%) reported their smoking status at follow-up. From current smok…
African Cities
Beyond the Campo Cintato
The occupation of Asmara(Eritrea) symbolised for the Italians the establishment of the first African colony, the colonia primogenita . Campo Cintato became the location in which the colonial troops entrenched themselves and started the fortification of all occupied areas. Alongside casual labourers and migrants, women selling alcohol in their houses and prostitutes came to form the underworld of Asmaras native quarters. Control over prostitutes w…

The Archives of the Municipality and the High Court of Asmara, Eritrea
Eritrean independence in 1993 raised fundamental questions regarding the Eritrean past. Inevitably, scholars initially focused their analysis on the history of the Eritrean nationalist movement and liberation struggle. The long guerrilla war against the Ethiopian regime attracted the interest of numerous researchers, not only because of its implications for the redefinition of the political landscape of the Horn of Africa, but also because of the…
