“…Besides being implemented to screen for cognitive dysfunction, it has also been widely used as a general measure of cognitive abilities, especially in the prediction of memory performance (Stump, Callahan, & Hendrie, 2001; Welch & West, 1999). The Italian version of this instrument has been shown to detect rates of cognitive impairment comparable to those reported in population-based studies conducted in other countries (e.g., Salemi et al, 2002); moreover, findings have confirmed its predictive validity with respect to different outcomes among Italian elderly people (e.g., Bo et al, 2003; Cataldo, Calcara, Caputo, & Mammina, 2012). The instrument was administered only to the grandparents to control for their mental health.…”

One of the most striking pieces of evidence in attachment research is that attachment security is transmitted from 1 generation to the next. Although there has been an enormous advance in the understanding of this process, this area of research suffers from some significant gaps, as for example the transmission across 3 generations when considering the 2 parents as well as the 2 couples of grandparents. The current study was designed to fill this gap in existing literature by investigating AAI attachment representations in the members of 3 generations, belonging to a total of 32 families, each including an adult offspring, both parents and the 4 grandparents (N = 224). Main findings show that the transmission across 2 generations was stronger in the presence of a female caregiver (either mother or maternal/paternal grandmother), and that across 3 generations was confirmed only in the presence of 2 female caregivers (grandmother to mother to offspring). Conversely, the transmissions across 3 generations with only 1 or no female caregiver were not confirmed. Last, experiencing 2 secure parents increased the likelihood of developing a secure state of mind with respect to attachment among offspring, mothers and fathers, 95% confidence intervals [3.52, 1,238.72], [1.67, 31.17], and [1.67, 19.98], respectively. These findings may have important theoretical implications related to the understanding of the factors involved in the continuity and discontinuity of attachment patterns across generations.

“…Several works have been published in recent years studying the role of blood levels of total cholesterol in the functional outcomes of IS patients. Some authors have found evidence that high levels of total cholesterol are associated with better functional outcomes [89][90][91] . By contrast, despite several prospective studies in recent years, the role of triglycerides in the risk of IS and HS remains controversial [92] .…”

Stroke is one of the most common causes of death worldwide and a major cause of acquired disability in adults. Despite advances in research during the last decade, prevention and treatment strategies still suffer from significant limitations, and therefore new theoretical and technical approaches are required. Technological advances in the proteomic and metabolomic areas, during recent years, have permitted a more effective search for novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets that may allow for effective risk stratification and early diagnosis with subsequent rapid treatment. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest candidate proteins and metabolites proposed as new potential biomarkers in stroke.
