A disease-specific convergence of host and Epstein-Barr virus genetics in multiple sclerosis
Recent sero-epidemiological studies have strengthened the hypothesis that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may be a causal factor in multiple sclerosis (MS). Given the complexity of the EBV-host interaction, various mechanisms may be responsible for the disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether this is a disease-specific process. Here, we showed that genes encoding EBV interactors are enriched in loci associated with MS but not with other diseases and in prioritized therapeutic targe...
Validation of the Italian version of the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS-I) within midwifery students
Aim: to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS-I) specifically for midwifery students. Background: midwives are at risk of developing Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) which arises from witnessing or hearing about the trauma of others. Midwifery students are particularly vulnerable to STS due to the emotionally intense situations they encounter during their clinical training. This stress impacts their emotional well-being and thei...
Effects of localized and general fatigue on postural adjustments coupling during predictable external perturbations
Purpose: The central nervous system (CNS) coordinates anticipatory (APA) and compensatory postural adjustments (CPA) to face both self-induced and external perturbations. Neuromuscular fatigue (NMF), whether localized or general, impairs the CNS's ability to maintain postural stability, but the differential effects of these fatigue types on the coupling between APA and CPA remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate how localized and general NMF influence the neuromuscular control of postura...
The Effects of a 24-Week Combined Circuit Training and Mobility Program on the Physical Fitness and Body Composition of an Adult Academic Community
Workplace physical activity programs (WPAPs) are increasingly being recognized for improving employee health, though the results remain inconsistent. Universities provide favorable settings for WPAPs. This study examined the effects of a 24-week circuit training and mobility program on the physical fitness (PF) and body composition of university employees. Thirty-eight university employees (9 males and 29 females; 51.5 ± 12.6 years) followed a 24-week training program consisting of two circuit t...
Visceral Adiposity, Anthropometric and Liver Function Indexes for Identifying Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) in Adolescents with Obesity: Which Performs Better?
Background: Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is the accumulation of fat in the liver without excessive alcohol consumption or other known liver diseases. MASLD is the most common liver disease in adolescents with obesity. The aims of this study were as follows: (i) to determine which index (waist circumference BMI, WHtR, VAI, METS-IR, METS-VF, HSI, FLI, or MetS_zscore) best explains the prevalence of MASLD in adolescents with obesity; (ii) to determine whether the...

Visiting Professors
Networking e InternazionalizzazioneL'ateneo promuove la presenza di ricercatori e docenti internazionali per attività di didattica e di ricerca attraverso specifici finanziamenti per la mobilità in ingresso degli ospiti internazionali.
Un Visiting Professor è un docente o ricercatore di alto livello proveniente da un'istituzione straniera, invitato per un periodo limitato a svolgere attività accademiche.
Annualmente vengono pubblicati i bandi "Visiting" ricompresi all'interno del Programma di internazionalizzazione di ateneo che finanziano soggiorni di ricerca e/o di didattica a Verona, oltre che l'attribuzione di interi insegnamenti a docenti internazionali. Inoltre, i Dipartimenti dispongono di appositi finanziamenti, finalizzati ad accrescere la dimensione internazionale della didattica all'interno dei Corsi di studio, anche attraverso la partecipazione di docenti provenienti da atenei europei ed extra-europei.
