A Contribution to a Better Understanding of the Group (Charales, Charophyceae): A Taxonomic Re-Examination of the Collected in the Province of Ferrara, Italy.

The identification of a charophyte population found in a rice field in Ferrara, North Italy, collected in 1999 and initially identified as , has been reevaluated. Detailed morphological observations here reported have suggested that the specimen displays characteristics more akin to , particularly in the structure of its bicellular dactyls and axillary heads. Additional examinations, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of oospores and analyses of herbarium specimens-encompassing original materials of , f.

Efficacy of Thiocolchicoside for Musculoskeletal Pain Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

: Despite the fact that thiocolchicoside has been widely used in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, its efficacy has never been systematically evaluated. We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to appraise the existing evidence on the efficacy of thiocolchicoside for musculoskeletal pain management. : The literature search was performed on multiple databases, extracting reports of RCTs evaluating the efficacy of thiocolchicoside compared to placebo or no exposure.

Immunogenicity and Safety of Chikungunya Vaccines: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Several vaccines against chikungunya fever have been developed and tested, and one has been recently licensed. We performed a meta-analysis to estimate the immunogenicity and safety of all chikungunya vaccines that have been progressed to clinical trial evaluation (VLA1553; mRNA-1388/VAL-181388; PXVX0317/VRC-CHKVLP059-00-VP; ChAdOx1 Chik; MV-CHIK). We included trials retrieved from MedLine, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.

Material Composition and Implantation Site Affect in vivo Device Degradation Rate.

Successful tissue engineering requires biomedical devices that initially stabilize wounds, then degrade as tissue is regenerated. However, the material degradation rates reported in literature are often conflicting. Incorporation of in situ monitoring functionality into implanted devices would allow real time assessment of degradation and potential failure.

Immunogenicity, Safety and Efficacy of the Dengue Vaccine TAK-003: A Meta-Analysis.

The TAK-003 dengue vaccine was licensed in Europe in December 2022, and the official recommendations from most EU countries are still under formulation. To support policymakers, we performed a meta-analysis to quantify TAK-003's immunogenicity, efficacy and safety among seronegative and seropositive populations after the administration of one or two vaccine doses. We included trials retrieved from MEDLINE, Scopus and ClinicalTrials.
