Article Abstract
Background: Although the relationship between problematic social media use (PSMU) and happiness has been already explored, less is known about the mechanisms that translate PSMU into lower happiness through lifestyle habits. Therefore, the current study focuses on the association between PSMU and happiness, exploring a mediating effect of lifestyle habits (e.g., difficulties in getting to sleep and frequency of physical activity) among Italian adolescents. Methods: A total of 58,976 Italian adolescents (mean age = 13.6, SD = 1.63; age range = 10.5−16.5; 49.4% females) were included. The pattern of relationships specified by the theoretical model was examined through path analysis. Results: Difficulties in getting to sleep (β = −0.037, p < 0.001) and frequency of physical activity (β = −0.012, p < 0.001) were mediators in the relationship between PSMU and happiness. Multi-group analyses across gender and age groups (11, 13, and 15 years old) showed that the chain mediating effect of the frequency of physical activity on the difficulties in getting to sleep was not significant for females but significant for males and for all of the three age groups. Overall, females and older ages were sensitive to the whole model. Conclusion: Along with difficulties in getting to sleep and the frequency of physical activity, lifestyle habits may contribute to the association between PSMU and happiness. We also recommend that future studies focus on PSMU in females and older adolescents, as they show more general sleep problems and reduced physical activity.

The emerging role of Nrf2 in heart failure: From cardioprotection to therapeutic approaches.
ESC Heart Fail
September 2025
Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy.
Heart failure (HF) is a multifactorial and pathophysiological complex syndrome, involving not only neurohormonal activation but also oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation, and metabolic derangements. Central to the cellular defence against oxidative damage is nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor that orchestrates antioxidant and cytoprotective responses. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies reveal that Nrf2 signalling is consistently impaired in HF, contributing to the progression of myocardial dysfunction.

Background: Poor hand dexterity may increase the risk of functional disability; however, few studies have examined the relationship between hand dexterity and incident functional disability. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the dose-response association of hand dexterity with incident functional disability in community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: This study included 1,069 older adults aged ≥65 years in Kasama City, Japan.

Dispersing iridium onto high-specific-surface-area supports is a widely adopted strategy to maximize iridium utilization in anode catalysts of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, here we demonstrate that the overall cell performance, including initial efficiency and long-term stability, does not benefit from the typical high specific surface area of catalyst supports. The conventional understanding that high iridium utilization on high-specific-surface-area supports increases activity holds only in aqueous electrolytes, while under the typical working conditions of PEMWE, the mass transport within the anode catalyst layers plays a more significant role in the overall performance.

Background: The Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is the most used outcome measure in clinical trials for cerebellar ataxias. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID), a parameter used to assess meaningful change, is not clearly defined.
Objective: To help define MCID for SARA.

Multimorbidity of chronic diseases is one of the most common health issues among older adults, and the resulting demand for long-term medical care and management imposes a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Muscle strength, a core indicator of overall health status, is closely associated with the risk of developing multimorbidity of chronic diseases in older adults. Decline in muscle strength not only increases the risk of multimorbidity of chronic diseases but also interacts with it to exacerbate disease burden.
