G Biondi's research while affiliated with Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù and other places

... In urbanized regions, inbreeding levels and endogamy rates fall quickly, because industrialization and associated urbanization lead to diversified population movements as a consequence of the increased social mobility connected with a modern lifestyle. All of this undoubtedly influences the increasing probability of intermarriage (Calderón, 1984(Calderón, , 1989Gray, 1989;De Braekeleer and Ross, 1991;Rickards and Biondi, 1991;Calderón et al., 1993;Fix, 1999). ...

... Both European males and females greatly contributed to the gene pool of the US and Cuba tions of African ancestry, whereas the genetic contribution from Native Americans is only anecdotal (Reed, 1969; Gonzalez et al., 1976; Chakraborty et al., 1992; Hsieh and Sutton, 1992). Much the opposite occurred with the African slaves deported or who escaped to central-southern regions of the New World, whose main genetic partners were Native Americans (Battistuzzi et al., 1986; Crawford, 1986; Biondi et al., 1988). African slaves first entered northwestern Ecuador during the 16th century. ...

... The frequency of G6PD deficiency varies widely, from 2% to 20%, in the large areas of the Mediterranean basin, Asia, and Africa [4]. In continental Italy, the frequencies range from 0.2% to 4.4%, showing relatively high values in the areas surrounding the Po Delta (northern Italy) and in some areas of southern Italy [5,6], whereas the mean frequency of G6PD deficiency is 10% in Sardinia [7]. The trend of the distribution of G6PD deficiency frequencies in the above areas shows a positive relationship with that of thalassaemia, which also has relatively higher frequencies in these areas [6,8,9]. ...

... Several studies have aggregated ASR and YSR scores to assess behavioral and emotional problems in early to late adolescence (Coelho et al., 2013;Le Fur et al., 2020;Ly et al., 2011;Morosan et al., 2017;Zondervan-Zwijnenburg et al., 2020). Furthermore, both the YSR and ASR have been validated and used across several cultures (Achenbach, 2010, 2019; Bianchi et al., 2022;Ivanova et al., 2007Ivanova et al., , 2015Morosan et al., 2017;Rescorla et al., 2007), including Italian populations (Gatta et al. n.d.;Graziano et al., 2016;Tesei et al., 2020). For this study, we used versions that have been validated in the Italian population and used T-scores from the following YSR/ASR scales to assess externalizing symptoms: externalizing problems, aggressive behavior, and rule-breaking behavior. ...

The Greek nationallinguistic community of Italy, increase of exogamy have been studied by Biondi, G., and E. Perrotti (1990). The results of the educational program of 14 ethnic groups Shingu of the Indian park (Brazil). ...

... Wang discovered that village rituals' order and authority had a direct effect on their geographical distribution and form [7]. Sun discovered that villages are spread along the rivers' course [8], whereas Yan discovered that the settlement distribution is hydrophilic and investigated the position of villages dominated by the river [9]. Vienna discovered that surnames play a role in determining the dispersion of ethnic villages [10]. Marriage affects the geographical distribution structure of villages [11]. ...

... Electrophysiological and functional alterations in cortical functioning during the free pain interval have been reported in both children and adults (20)(21)(22)(23), suggesting the presence of interictal cognitive dysfunctions in patients suffering from migraine. Neurophysiological data on adult and pediatric populations, have evidenced altered processing of stimuli in patients with migraine and TTH (17, 18,[24][25][26]. Moreover, several neuro-imaging studies disclosed structural abnormalities of the brain, such as reduced cortical thickness (27)(28)(29)(30) and decreased frontal and parietal lobe gray matter density (31), areas of hypoperfusion (32), and focal or generalized atrophies (i.e., temporal lobe) (33), that may represent the anatomical counterpart of the low performance in cognitive tests (34,35). ...

... 82 Generally, a negative impact on psychological health for parents of kidney transplant recipients has been demonstrated, 83 including increased depression, anxiety, and PTSD. 16,[84][85][86] Rates of PTSD symptoms are elevated above and beyond those in parents of other chronic illness groups, with 50.6% of parents reporting moderate PTSD symptoms after solid organ transplant (heart, kidney, or liver) 85 and 1/3 of parents meeting criteria for PTSD among heart transplant parents. 87 However, another study reported average global mental health among mothers post-renal transplant, though they found over 50% of fathers with clinically significant mental health symptoms. ...

... The possibility of studying the efficacy of different pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments in children at an early stage is also useful given parents' fear of the side effects of therapy. Further, cortical excitability in children with migraine seems to correlate with behavioral symptomatology [45]. ...
