L'alfabetizzazione digitale (digital literacy) è la capacità di usare con consapevolezza ed efficacia strumenti tecnologici (PC, smartphone, internet, software) per comunicare, lavorare e accedere alle informazioni. Include competenze critiche, di sicurezza informatica e la gestione dei dati.
È fondamentale per la partecipazione sociale e lavorativa.

Nei curricula dei corsi di laurea di Medicina questo argomento anche pratico fondamentale non è insegnato..... si dovrebbe apprendere anche la cartella clinic informatizzata (italiana o europea)

Cancro del colon e metabolismo degli aminiacidi nell'intestibo.

Online now: Compartmentalized branched-chain amino acid metabolism orchestrates colorectal cancer dissemination via an UMP-vimentin axis: Compartmentalized BCAA metabolism regulates CRC dissemination through UMP-mediated stabilization of vimentin, leading to pro-migrative traits. Targeting of BCAA metabolism by dietary restriction or repurposing of UMP biosynthesis inhibitors arrests CRC dissemination. Compartmentalized BCAA metabolism is a pan-cancer biomarker for poor survival. Our study thus links metabolic reprogramming to CRC metastasis.

I problemi cerebrali conseguenti alla ipoacusia.

🧠🔊 New GeroScience Insight: Hongxing Liu & Guangjian Ni et al. report that age-related hearing loss changes how the brain dynamically connects different regions during auditory spatial attention tasks. In older adults with worse hearing, the brain showed stronger cross-region interactions but weaker modular organization, suggesting compensatory reconfiguration of networks — especially involving the right parietal lobe and prefrontal-frontal connections. These findings could inform precision auditory rehabilitation strategies.

"Here's what sleeping pills actually do to your brain," reveals neuroscientist Dr. Corvell, and the answer is disturbing. They don't create sleep; they create unconsciousness, and your brain knows the difference. But there’s a safer alternative, and he’s here to share it.

Motor Cortex: Control Center for Voluntary Movement

The motor cortex is a region of the frontal lobe responsible for planning, initiating, and controlling voluntary movements. The primary motor cortex, located in the precentral gyrus, sends signals through descending pathways to activate skeletal muscles.

It is organized somatotopically, forming a motor homunculus, where different body parts are represented based on movement precision rather than size. The motor cortex works closely with the cerebellum and basal ganglia to produce smooth, coordinated actions.

Il linguaggio e le sue sue strutture funzionali nel cervello.

Neurobiology of Language: How the Brain Processes Speech and Meaning

Language function arises from coordinated activity between specialized brain regions, primarily in the left cerebral hemisphere. Broca’s area in the frontal lobe is involved in speech production and motor planning, while Wernicke’s area in the temporal lobe supports language comprehension and meaning.

These regions communicate through neural pathways such as the arcuate fasciculus, integrating auditory input, memory, and motor control to produce fluent speech. Damage to these areas can lead to different types of aphasia, highlighting the precise neural organization of language.

LDL vs ApoB: not all cholesterol-lowering strategies are equal We often talk about “lowering cholesterol” as if it were a single goal. In reality, different interventions act on different parts of the system — and this matters for cardiovascular risk. First, a key distinction - LDL-C = how muc...
