Abstract
In 2011, from 26 September to 16 October, a small outbreak of West Nile virus (WNV) disease occurred on the island of Sardinia (Italy). According to the national case definition, six cases with acute neurological disease were confirmed in hospitalized patients, and four of them died; one of these was only 34 years old. In two case, WNV RNA was detected in urine, suggesting renal involvement. Sequence analysis showed lineage 1 and 2 circulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies investigating neurocognitive impairment in subjects with eating disorders (EDs) have reported heterogeneous patterns of impairment and, in some instances, no dysfunction. The present study aimed to define the pattern of neurocognitive impairment in a large sample of bulimia nervosa (BN) patients and to demonstrate that neuroendocrine, personality and clinical characteristics influence neurocognitive performance in BN. METHOD Attention/immediate memory, set shifting, perseveration, conditional and implicit learning were evaluated in 83 untreated female patients with BN and 77 healthy controls (HC). Cortisol and 17β-estradiol plasma levels were assessed. Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory - Revised (TCI-R), the Bulimic Investigation Test Edinburgh (BITE) and the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) were administered. RESULTS No impairment of cognitive performance was found in subjects with BN compared with HC. Cortisol and 'Self-directedness' were associated with better performance on conditional learning whereas 17β-estradiol had a negative influence on this domain; 'Reward dependence' was associated with worse performance on implicit learning; and depressive symptomatology influenced performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) negatively. CONCLUSIONS No cognitive impairment was found in untreated patients with BN. Neuroendocrine, personality and clinical variables do influence neurocognitive functioning and might explain discrepancies in literature findings.

Abstract
IntroductionIt has been hypothesized that cognitive remediation with adjunctive psychiatric rehabilitation would be associated with greater improvements in functional outcome than standalone treatment approaches (1).Moving from these observations our group designed an individualized rehabilitation program including a computerized cognitive training (CCT) and social skills training (SST), which showed promising results (2).A critical evaluation of recent studies examining standalone and combined treatment approaches included the understanding of the differential impact of the two approaches among crucial areas for future research (3).ObjectivesThe present study compared the effects of CCT and SST on several indices of outcome in psychotic patients. Fifty-eight patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: CCT or SST. Changes in cognitive, psychopathological and psychosocial indices after 6 and 12 months were compared between the two groups.ResultsAfter both 6 and 12 months, an improvement of psychosocial indices was observed in both groups, while cognitive functions improved only after CCT; the improvement of psychopathological indices, observed in both groups, was greater in the CCT group.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that CCT is associated with a greater impact than SST on different indices of outcome in psychotic patients. Future research should focus on possible synergistic effects of cognitive remediation and social skills training on functional outcome.

Abstract
A brief review of the arboviruses isolated In Italy is presented and discussed. Some of the Arboviruses considered in this paper are endemic in the country and are transmitted by arthropods that play actually a role of vectors, (sand flyes, hard ticks and mosquitoes); other arboviruses, sporadically isolated, are potential agents of emerging human or zoonotic diseases.

Abstract
The P3 is probably the most well known component of the brain event-related potentials (ERPs). Using a three-tone oddball paradigm two different components can be identified: the P3b elicited by rare target stimuli and the P3a elicited by the presentation of rare non-target stimuli. Although the two components may partially overlap in time and space, they have a different scalp topography suggesting different neural generators. The present study is aimed at defining the scalp topography of the two P3 components by means of reference-independent methods and identifying their electrical cortical generators by using the low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA). ERPs were recorded during a three-tone oddball task in 32 healthy, right-handed university students. The scalp topography of the P3 components was assessed by means of the brain electrical microstates technique and their cortical sources were evaluated by LORETA. P3a and P3b showed different scalp topography and cortical sources. The P3a electrical field had a more anterior distribution as compared to the P3b and its generators were localized in cingulate, frontal and right parietal areas. P3b sources included bilateral frontal, parietal, limbic, cingulate and temporo-occipital regions. Differences in scalp topography and cortical sources suggest that the two components reflect different neural processes. Our findings on cortical generators are in line with the hypothesis that P3a reflects the automatic allocation of attention, while P3b is related to the effortful processing of task-relevant events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cognitive impairment, more often involving memory and/or executive functions, has been reported in obsessive-compulsive (OC) patients. The present study aimed at: i) replicating, in an independent sample, previous findings by our group showing neurocognitive slowness limited to executive tasks; ii) assessing the influence of deficit in general cognitive abilities on executive dysfunction. METHOD A comprehensive neuropsychological battery was administered to 30 drug-free OC patients and 30 healthy controls. RESULTS Obsessive-compulsive patients performed worse on visuospatial tests, were slower on executive tasks, and performed worse on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. After covarying for Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised performance Intellectual Quotient, a lesser degree of executive dysfunction was observed. CONCLUSION Obsessive-compulsive patients exhibit an impairment of executive functions, especially when tasks also require visuospatial abilities. The impairment might reflect a hyperactivity of the executive control.

Abstract
Evidence has been provided that high frequency oscillations within the gamma band reflect mechanisms of cortical integration. In the light of recently proposed pathophysiological models of schizophrenia, suggesting a disturbance of the functional connectivity within distributed neural networks, it has been hypothesized that abnormalities in the gamma band underlie perceptual and cognitive dysfunctions in patients with schizophrenia. In the present study we investigated evoked and induced 40-Hz gamma power as well as frontoparietal and frontotemporal event-related coherence in patients with deficit and nondeficit schizophrenia and in matched healthy controls. In patients, correlations between gamma oscillations and psychopathological dimensions were also investigated. A reduction of both induced gamma power and event-related coherence was observed in patients with nondeficit schizophrenia, but not in those with deficit schizophrenia. Our findings support the hypothesis that deficit and nondeficit schizophrenia represent separate disease entities, suggesting the presence of a poor integration of the neuronal activity within distributed neural network only in the subgroup of schizophrenic patients without primary and persistent negative symptoms. Associations between an excess of gamma oscillations and psychopathological dimensions were observed, suggesting that abnormal thoughts, behaviors and perceptions might be related to the formation of inappropriate neural connections.
