Nonlinear management of the miscibility-immiscibility transition in binary Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate application of nonlinearity management (NM, i.e., periodic variation of the strength of the intercomponent repulsion) to the miscibility-immiscibility (MIM) transition across the critical point of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate, both with and without linear mixing [Rabi coupling (RC)] between the components. To this end, we first identify, by means of a variational approximation and numerical solution, diverse stationary domain-wall (DW) structures supported by the sy...

Odevixibat treatment reverses severe phenotype of PFIC in a young adult: A real-life experience beyond the genetic diagnosis

Diencephalic syndrome: An often unrecognized cause of failure to thrive|La sindrome diencefalica: una causa spesso misconosciuta di Failure to Thrive

We describe the case of an infant with diencephalic syndrome (DS), with the aim of raising awareness among pediatricians about this rare cause of failure to thrive (FTT) and reducing diagnostic delay. DS is a rare condition characterized by emaciation, hyperkinesia and/or euphoria, despite normal caloric intake and linear growth. It is a rare manifestation of low-grade gliomas or craniopharyngiomas involving the hypothalamus and the diencephalon. Clinical manifestations beyond DS are mainly n...

Validation of the Italian Translation and Cultural Adaptation of the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy-2 (CAPL-2) Questionnaire for Children

Background/Objectives: Physical literacy is a holistic concept promoting lifelong health by considering an individual’s lived experience within their cultural context. This necessitates context-specific conceptualizations and pedagogies, highlighting the need for valid assessment tools for physical and sport educators. The Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL-2) is a well-known validated tool. This study aimed to validate the Italian translation and cultural adaptation of the CAPL-2...
