A region-wide hub and spoke approach to standardize and decentralize type 1 diabetes management
Background and aims Type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires specialized, multidisciplinary, and technology-driven care, which can be difficult to guarantee across regions with fragmented services. In July 2023, the Liguria region (Italy) reorganized pediatric diabetes care into a Hub and Spoke model, coordinated by the Gaslini Institute (hub) and three peripheral pediatric departments (spokes). This study aimed to evaluate the first year of application of…
Management of Severe Congenital Protein C Deficiency with Continuous Subcutaneous Infusion via Insulin Pump
Severe congenital Protein C deficiency (SCPCD) is a rare autosomal recessive thrombophilia that typically presents in the neonatal period with early-onset life-threatening thrombotic complications. We report the case of a female infant who presented at birth with digital ischemic necrosis and laboratory evidence of consumptive coagulopathy consistent with neonatal purpura fulminans. Severe Protein C deficiency was confirmed by markedly reduced Pr…
Management of Type 1 Diabetes in a school setting
Background and aims Since Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) onset usually occurs at a young age, a relevant number of affected people attend school for most of their time; it is necessary that school personnel receive appropriate education and training. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the online training program offered by IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini during and after COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The Institute’s Diabetes team offered an online tra…
Participatory Development of an International Information Brochure on the Multimodal Assessment of Disorders of Consciousness
BACKGROUND: Disorders of consciousness (DoC) refers to a group of clinical conditions of altered consciousness. To improve their diagnosis and prognosis, multimodal assessment can be of great importance. Informal caregivers of people with DoC who are confronted with new technologies as such can benefit from interventions to expand their health literacy, i.e., the ability to use information to make health decisions for oneself and others. METHODS:…
Safety and Efficacy of Using Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop Off-Label in an Infant Diagnosed with Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus
The case report shows the safety and efficacy of insulin treatment with Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) system in a young patient affected by permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) due to chromosome 8 deletion syndrome involving the GATA4 gene. In the first days of life, he presented hyperglycaemia and started an intravenous insulin infusion therapy, replaced by a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with Medtronic Minimed 780G…
Finding flow in pandemic times
The restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted citizens' lives worldwide. In this emergency context, mental health levels and flow-promoting activities – with specific attention to leisure - were investigated among 1281 Italian university students attending courses in Health Sciences (HS) and Humanities, Social and Political Sciences (HuPS). They participated in an online survey including, among other instruments, the Mental Heal…
Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop users’ satisfaction of telemedicine and telenursing in pediatric and young adult type 1 diabetes
Background and aims The aim of the study was to evaluate the satisfaction of the use of telemedicine and telenursing in children and young adults with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) using Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop systems (AHCL) with a focus on the role of connectivity, data download and the ease of technical steps in the set and sensor change procedures. Methods An online anonymous survey was administered to AHCL users. The questionnaire consisted of f…
Patient Satisfaction of Telemedicine in Pediatric and Young Adult Type 1 Diabetes Patients During Covid-19 Pandemic
The aim of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction of the use of telemedicine and telenursing in children and young adults with Type 1 Diabetes and their families followed in the Regional Pediatric Diabetes Center of Giannina Gaslini Institute (Liguria, Italy). An anonymous survey form was administered to 290 patients (138 filled out by caregivers and 152 by patients). The questionnaire consisted of two parts: the first one included a series …
Flow Experience and Emotional Well-Being among Italian Adolescents during the Covid-19 Pandemic
006). No group differences were detected for negative affect. Learning, structured leisure, and interpersonal relations were the domains most frequently associated with flow before and during the pandemic, but after the pandemic onset a reduction in the variety of flow activities and limited identification of new flow domains were observed. The association of flow with higher emotional well-being even in pandemic times suggests the potential usef…
Type 1 Diabetes and Addison’s Disease
Our objective is to emphasize the important role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in suggesting adrenal insufficiency in patients affected by type 1 diabetes. We describe an adolescent girl with type 1 diabetes and subsequent latent Addison's disease diagnosed based on a recurrent hypoglycemic trend detected by CGM. In patients with type 1 diabetes, persistent unexplained hypoglycemic episodes at dawn together with reduced insulin requireme…
Assessing measurement invariance of MSQOL-54 across Italian and English versions
Italian Validation of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire
Several studies highlighted the role of meaning in life as a major component of well-being and researchers have developed different measures to assess the features of this construct. In the present study, the psychometric properties of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire were investigated in the Italian context. The Meaning in Life Questionnaire is a 10-item scale measuring perceived presence of and search for meaning in life, conceptualized as two…
The caring experience in multiple sclerosis
Informal caregivers play a crucial role in supporting persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurodegenerative disease resulting in progressive worsening of physical and cognitive functioning. While research extensively showed that caregiving workload can be perceived as burdensome, little attention was devoted to the relation connecting workload and caregivers' well-being. Building on previous literature on stress and coping, the aim of this st…

Parents’ Self-efficacy Beliefs and Their Children’s Psychosocial Adaptation During Adolescence
Impact of Extreme Weather Conditions on High-Altitude Climbers' Goals and Quality of Experience
Goal setting and quality of experience play a key role in sustaining motivation during climbing expeditions. This study investigated these dimensions during a Himalayan expedition affected by prolonged weather emergency preventing climbers from reaching the peak. For one month, six climbers were monitored through experience sampling method (ESM), providing real-time information on their activities, goals and associated experience. Results showed …

Italian Adolescents and Leisure
This chapter explores Italian adolescents' use of free time, highlighting cultural peculiarities, the quality of experience in leisure activities, and implications for individual development
Coping with Boundaries
In the globalisation process, the social organisation of sedentary cultures represents the uni versal model. Few nomadic communities resist this trend, facing difficulties in survival and intercultural relations. To analyse the daily life and future expectations of these populations from the individual perspective, 60 Rom people living in Italy were administered Flow Questionnaire and Life Theme Questionnaire. These instruments investigate the qu…
