Summary: This study aims to develop a novel SEPADC model that considers arbitrarily distributed latency, presymptomatic infectiousness, asymptomatic infectiousness, and symptomatic infectiousness periods. We derive a general relation between intrinsic growth rate r and basic reproduction number R-0 using the Lotka-Euler equation. The choice of sojourn time distributions significantly affects R-0 estimates. Rating: 8/10

Summary: The study explores the psychological consequences of discriminatory experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic among tourists, finding that worries over COVID-19 trigger ruminative responses to depressive symptoms and exacerbate discrimination-induced anxiety. Active participation in social media serves as a means of distraction to buffer the negative effects of psychological distress.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the lifestyles of individuals in Italy. This study aimed to explore the behavioral consequences and coping strategies among families in Italy, particularly focusing on caregivers' perspectives. The results showed that the pandemic has negatively impacted families, especially those with pre-existing psychological weaknesses and caregivers, especially those with children under 6 years of age. While coping strategies were found to be protective factors, the wide range of stress symptoms had implications for the behaviors of children and adolescents, highlighting the need for public welfare strategies for children, especially in higher psychosocial risk categories.

Summary: Inspired by the Conservation of Resource theory, this study investigated the predictors of workers' well-being during the COVID-19 outbreak, including personal vulnerabilities, social and work-related stressors, and resources. Results showed that personality traits and key aspects of individuals' relationship with their work, such as job insecurity and trust in the organization, played a role in promoting or hampering workers' adjustment. Interactions between stressors and resources were also found.

Summary: This study examines the impact of fuel price movements on the stock market returns during the COVID-19 disruptions in 2020. Monthly data of seven selected stock market indices representing developed and emerging economies worldwide was analyzed using a time-varying parameter VAR model. The findings suggest a strong information flow from fuel prices to the FTSE-100, Pacific, and European stock indices, but not the other way around. Additionally, there is a two-way information flow between equities and natural gas for the FTSE-100 and European region, while a one-way information flow exists from the stock market to the Pacific and emerging economies.

Summary: The study conducted in Italy during the lockdown period found that people experienced lower levels of happiness and mental health, but higher levels of loneliness. The lockdown and pandemic seemed to have eliminated gender differences in happiness and mental health perception, while increasing loneliness perception among males. People living alone reported higher levels of loneliness compared to those living with a partner or partner and children. The study's results suggest the need for policymakers to pay attention to the psychological well-being implications of drastic measures like lockdowns.

Summary: The study used logistic regression models to analyze different neurophysiological data of patients with Disorders of Consciousness, highlighting the importance of structural MRI and visual evoked potentials data in predicting visual pursuit. A pilot test was conducted to validate the accuracy of the models, which may help clinicians evaluate whether the visual fixation response can support the MCS diagnosis.

Summary: Patients with the coexistence of cerebrovascular fibromuscular dysplasia (cFMD) and spontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCeAD) have distinct risk factor profiles compared to patients without cFMD. The presence of cFMD and a history of migraines independently predict the midterm risk of sCeAD recurrence.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the levels of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (cEPC) and the release of selected proteins in the plasma and CSF of pediatric MMA patients to clarify the pathogenesis and progression of the disease. The study found increased levels of cEPC in peripheral blood and an upregulation of angiogenic markers in CSF. These findings provide valuable insights into the disease's mechanism and progression.

Summary: This guideline provides recommendations for the management of Moyamoya Angiopathy (MMA) based on systematic literature reviews and expert consensus. For adult patients with haemorrhagic presentation, direct bypass surgery is recommended. For ischaemic adult patients and children, revascularization surgery is suggested. Pre- and post-operative haemodynamic and posterior cerebral artery assessment is also recommended.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the degree of ganglion cell degeneration using SD-OCT in adult patients with post-stroke homonymous visual field defect. The results showed that there were significant differences in pRNFL-AVG, GCC-AVG, GLV, and FLV between stroke patients and controls regardless of stroke type and involved vascular territories. Age and elapsed time from stroke had a significant effect on pRNFL-AVG and GCC-AVG, while visual field defect size was unrelated to SD-OCT measurements.

Summary: Iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (iCAA) is a specific type of cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and its diagnosis is increasing. It is hypothesized that iCAA may occur as a late consequence of past neurosurgical interventions involving dural patch grafts. Although positron emission tomography (PET) scans and beta-amyloid levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are auxiliary criteria, the definite diagnosis still relies on histopathological examination.

Summary: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally. It is important to find new circulating biomarkers that can distinguish and monitor cerebrovascular diseases leading to stroke. Biomarkers can provide additional information to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and identify potential therapeutic targets for personalized medicine.

Summary: Moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) is a rare cerebrovascular disease characterized by progressive steno-occlusive lesions and collateral vessel development. Surgical treatment, particularly indirect revascularization, is preferred. By performing proteomic characterization, a potential gene, Filamin A, was identified, suggesting a role in MMA pathogenesis. This study provides insights into the molecular understanding of this disabling intracranial vasculopathy.
