Abstract Background Working memory (WM) abilities are frequently impaired in neurological disorders affecting fronto-parietal cortical/sub-cortical structures. WM deficits negatively influence interventional outcomes and everyday functioning. This study thus aimed at the following: (a) developing and standardizing an ecologically valid task for WM assessment ( Ice Cream Test, ICT); (b) validating and norming a novel WM test (Digit Ordering Test, DOT), as well as providing updated norms for digit span (DS) tasks, in an Italian population sample; (c) introducing a novel scoring procedure for measuring WM. Methods One-hundred and sixty-eight Italian healthy participants—73 male, 95 females; age: 48.4 ± 19.1 (18–86); education: 12.1 ± 4.8 (4–21)—underwent a thorough WM assessment—DOT, ICT, and both forward and backward DS tasks (FDS, BDS). The ICT requires participants to act as waiters who have to keep track of customers’ orders. For each task, WM and total (T) outcomes were computed, i.e., the number of elements in the longest sequence and that of recalled sequences, respectively. Norms were derived via the equivalent score (ES) method. Results DS ratios (DSRs) were computed for both WM/S and T outcomes on raw DS measures (BDS divided by FDS). Age and education significantly predicted all WM tasks; sex affected FDS and DSR-T scores (males > females). WM measures were highly internally related. Discussion The present work provides Italian practitioners with a normatively updated, multi-component, adaptive battery for WM assessment (WoMAB) as well as with novel outcomes which capture different WM facets—WM capacity and attentive monitoring abilities.

The metalloprotein ceruloplasmin has been of interest to psychiatrists for decades following early observations of elevated serum copper, and oxidase activity, in patients with schizophrenia. While immunological methods did not confirm elevated serum ceruloplasmin concentrations in schizophrenia, low serum concentrations of ceruloplasmin are typical of Wilson's disease, Menkes’ disease, and aceruloplasminemia making low ceruloplasmin an important marker of disease. Unfortunately, available normative values are of limited usefulness, the majority being derived from oxidase studies; very few immunoturbidimetric or nephelometric studies were performed on small samples, or did not account for known influencing factors. Therefore, the present study was planned to determine nephelometric ceruloplasmin serum concentrations in a large randomized population sample. 2,445 subjects between 12 and 65 years of age were randomly selected from a southern German town of 22,000 inhabitants. The mean ceruloplasmin serum concentration was 331 ± 104 mg/l. Ceruloplasmin serum concentration significantly correlated with gender and age and was higher by 23 mg/l on average in women than in men. There also were significant correlations with lipoprotein concentrations, but not with several other liver-associated features, parameters of metabolism, or markers of inflammation.
