A CASE OF DIBOTHRIOCEPHALOSIS (DIBOTHRIOCEPHALUS LATUS) FROM ISEO LAKE (NORTHERN ITALY): AN UPDATE ON A PERSISTENT SANITARY ISSUE

A Case of Dibothriocephalosis (Dibothriocephalus latus) from Iseo Lake (Northern Italy): An Update on a Persistent Sanitary Issue

Dibothriocephalosis is a fish-borne parasitic zoonosis that is caused by tapeworms of the Dibothriocephalus (syn.Diphyllobothrium) genus.This paper describes a human case of dibothriocephalosis associated with the consumption of a presumably infected fish, prepared at a restaurant near Iseo Lake (northern Italy).A month after, the patient found a s

Bioactive Hydrogel Marbles

Abstract Liquid marbles represented a significant advance in the manipulation of fluids as they used particle films to confine liquid drops, creating a robust and durable soft solid.We exploit this technology to engineering a bioactive hydrogel marble (BHM).Specifically, pristine bioactive glass nanoparticles were chemically tuned to produce biocom

Graph compression algorithm based on a two-level index structure

The demand for the analysis and application of graph data in various fields is increasing day by day.The management of large-scale graph data with complicated structure and high degree of coupling faces two challenges:one is querying speed too slow,the other is space consumption too large.Facing teal horse blanket the problems of long query time an

Candidates for Repurposing as Anti-Virulence Agents Based on the Structural Profile Analysis of Microbial Collagenase Inhibitors

The pharmacological inhibition of the bacterial collagenases (BC) enzymes is considered a promising strategy to block the virulence of the bacteria without targeting the selection mechanism leading to drug resistance.The chemical structures of the Clostridium perfringens collagenase A (ColA) inhibitors were analyzed using Bemis-Murcko skeletons, Mu

3D Simulation of a Loss of Vacuum Accident (LOVA) in ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor): Evaluation of Static Pressure, Mach Number, and Friction Velocity

ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a magnetically confined plasma nuclear reactor.Inside it, due to plasma disruptions, the formation of neutron-activated powders, which are essentially made out of tungsten and beryllium, occurs.As many windows for diagnostics are present on the reactor, which operates at very low pressure,
