Optimizing selection of P2Y 12 inhibiting therapy: clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticagrelor

Introduction: Antiplatelet therapy is key for secondary prevention in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, particularly those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While aspirin has historically been the standard of care agent, oral P2Y₁₂ inhibitors - namely clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor - have emerged as key adjunctive therapies as well as treatment alternatives. Given their differing pharmacodynamic, pharmacogenomic, and safety - efficacy profiles, th...

Multisensory interaction, Timing, and Immersive Art.

While developing experimental work in Rome at the Experimental and Applied Psychology Laboratory of the Università Europea di Roma, our research focused on exploring the nature and implications of cross-modal congruences. We conducted a series of behavioral studies to examine the boundaries of these correspondences between visual and auditory parameters. Our findings contributed to establishing how these dimensions are relatively coupled, and how varying contextual conditions can significantl...

Investigating visual search mechanisms and enhancing the diagnostic potential of the trail making test using eTMT

The Trail Making Test (TMT) is a complex task involving visual search and is widely used to assess various cognitive functions. While existing literature often emphasizes task switching, the nuances of visual search within the TMT remain debated. In this study, we developed a new digital version of the TMT, the eTMT, to more effectively analyze visual search performance dynamics. We hypothesized that critical aspects of visual search, particularly the display set-size effect, have been overlo...
