Article Synopsis
  • This study looks at a new way to fix scalp problems after surgery for skin cancer, which can be tough due to the scalp's unique structure.
  • Researchers analyzed patients treated with a special skin template and grafting between January 2020 and October 2023.
  • The results showed that most patients healed well and could start other cancer treatments quickly, making this method a good choice for scalp surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Wastewater treatment plants are significant sources of microplastics in the environment, prompting research into more effective treatment methods.
  • This study evaluated a novel living membrane bioreactor (LMBR) and its electrochemically enhanced version (e-LMBR), which showed similar effectiveness in removing polyethylene microplastics compared to conventional methods, but with slight differences due to electrochemical processes.
  • The e-LMBR maintained high contaminant removal efficiencies, including organic matter and nutrients, and demonstrated lower fouling rates despite increased microplastic concentrations in the treatment system.

The dataset collects and harmonizes financial data about public works in Italy, focusing on soil defence investments. The data are sourced from three distinct platforms: the Italian Ministry of Economics and Finance's open data platform OpenBDAP, the OpenCoesione website, concerned with interventions framed in cohesion policies financed by additional resources from the European and national budgets, and the ReNDiS database, provided by the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), that exclusively gathers information about public works in soil defence. The data records belonging to these three sources are linked by a unique project code (CUP), ensuring that there is no duplication of data.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are the main barrier to cope with the increased pressure of municipal and industrial wastewater on natural water resources in terms of both polluting load and produced volumes. For this reason, WWTP's efficiency should be the highest; thus, their monitoring becomes critical. In conventional WWTPs, biodegradation of pollutants mainly occurs in the biological reactors, and an increasing interest in a deeper characterization of the biomasses involved in these processes (made of biofilms, granules, and suspended activated sludge) rose up in recent years.

, also called bladdernuts, is a genus of plants belonging to the family Staphyleaceae, widespread in tropical or temperate climates of America, Europe, and the Far East. spp. produce bioactive metabolites with antioxidant properties, including polyphenols which have not been completely investigated for their phytotherapeutic potential, even though they have a long history of use for food.
