Nutritional problems of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia after hospital discharge

The last decades have seen significant improvements in the care of premature infants. The introduction of new approaches, especially in the ventilatory management, have led to significant increase of survival rate of low and extremely low gestational age infants. These populations of neonates, however, often experience prolonged mechanical ventilation, which is widely recognized to be closely related to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) development. The management of BPD, which is a multifacto...

Functional nutrients in infants born by vaginal delivery or caesarean section

The development of a proper neonatal microbiota is of great importance, especially for the effects that dysbiosis has in acute and chronic diseases’ onset.

Exploring the Path Loss of a Hacking Tool for Security Matters in the Internet of Things

The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), now with billions of mainly wireless interconnected devices, has brought concerns and challenges regarding the security of IoT networks and devices, as they are often vulnerable to attacks. In this article, a measurement campaign is carried out to investigate the path loss experienced by a portable IoT hacking tool, known commercially as Flipper Zero™, when used in transmitter mode, to shed light on the maximum achievable distance at which ...
