Importance of an Ongoing Nutritional Counselling Intervention on Eating Habits of Newly Diagnosed Children with Celiac Disease
(MDPI, 2024-07-25)A strict lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD) is the current treatment for the management of celiac disease (CD). Several studies have demonstrated that without proper dietary assessment, this diet leads to nutritional deficiencies ... -
Inconel 718 Hybrid Laser-Based Directed Energy Deposition and Wrought Component Characterization through Small Punch Tests
(MDPI, 2024-07-23)The combination of wrought materials and laser-based directed energy deposition (DED-LB) is being increasingly used for manufacturing new and repairing old or damaged components in several industries. Aerospace components ... -
Influence of Temperature on Brushless Synchronous Machine Field Winding Interturn Fault Severity Estimation
(MDPI, 2024-09-09)There are numerous methods for detecting interturn faults (ITFs) in the field winding of synchronous machines (SMs). One effective approach is based on comparing theoretical and measured excitation currents. This method ... -
Introducing Security Mechanisms in OpenFog-Compliant Smart Buildings
(MDPI, 2024-07-23)Designing smart building IoT applications is a complex task. It requires efficiently integrating a broad number of heterogeneous, low-resource devices that adopt lightweight strategies. IoT frameworks, especially if they ... -
Knowledge Gaps in Gluten-Free Diet Awareness among Patients and Healthcare Professionals: A Call for Enhanced Nutritional Education
(MDPI, 2024-08-01)Diet is the only treatment for celiac disease (CeD), and good adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only way to ensure complete remission and to prevent complications. Limited education about the disease and a GFD ... -
Memory in Spina Bifida, from Childhood to Adulthood: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2024-09-05)Background: Spina bifida (SB) is a rare congenital disease characterized by not only physical but also neuropsychological disturbances. Among these neuropsychological impairments, memory deficits are a significant concern, ... -
Metabolites from Marine Macroorganisms of the Red Sea Acting as Promoters or Inhibitors of Amylin Aggregation
(MDPI, 2024-08-06)Amylin is part of the endocrine pancreatic system that contributes to glycemic control, regulating blood glucose levels. However, human amylin has a high tendency to aggregate, forming isolated amylin deposits that are ... -
Objectively Measured Sleep Duration and Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Adults with Metabolic Syndrome: A One-Year Longitudinal Analysis of the PREDIMED-Plus Cohort
(MDPI, 2024-08-09)The aim of our cross-sectional and longitudinal study is to assess the relationship between daytime and night-time sleep duration and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adults with metabolic syndrome after a 1-year ... -
