From Dysbiosis to Immune Rewiring: Proteomics-Based Mechanistic Insights into PFAS Effects on Human Health

This thesis investigates the effects that Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have on human health using proteomics approaches. PFAS are a big and heterogeneous class of man-made chemicals that present an alkyl chain and at least a fluorinated carbon. They have been vastly used for their exceptional abilities to resist high temperatures and repel water. These properties made them employable in many everyday products, but their vast usage led to their release in the environment an...

Frailty as a novel concept: exploring the impact of acute events and malnutrition on vulnerable critically ill patients

This thesis investigated frailty as a multidimensional clinical syndrome marked by diminished physiological and cognitive reserves, increasing vulnerability to adverse outcomes in critically ill and surgical elderly patients. Frailty, closely linked to aging but also influenced by comorbidities and malnutrition, predisposes patients to complications such as functional decline, prolonged hospitalization, and mortality. The first prospective study assessed the effects of major elective surgery ...
