Article Synopsis
  • * Recent literature has focused on new technologies to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), with particular attention on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT).
  • * DECT uses two X-ray energy levels to create detailed images that help differentiate materials, improve contrast, and assist in tumor assessment, potentially offering significant advantages in managing HNSCC.

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of ponceau 4R as sensory additives (functional group: (a) colourants: (i) substances that add or restore colour in feedingstuffs). The additive is already authorised for use with cats and dogs and ornamental fish. The additive is intended to be incorporated in freshwater fishing baits up to a maximum of 15 mg/kg in complementary feed in order to colour them.

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of tartrazine as sensory additive (functional group: (a) colourants: (i) substances that add or restore colour in feedingstuffs). Tartrazine is intended to be incorporated in fishing baits up to a maximum of 30 mg/kg in complementary feed in order to colour them and attract fish in freshwater (ponds, rivers), for both recreational and competitive fishing. The additive is not intended for use in aquaculture.

Article Synopsis
  • The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) checked if a medicine called diclazuril, used for preventing sickness in chickens, is safe for the birds and people eating them.
  • They found that it is safe to use on chickens and does what it's supposed to do, but it can irritate skin, eyes, and breathing, though it doesn’t cause allergic reactions.
  • They couldn’t figure out if it's safe for the environment yet because they need more information, and they also suggested keeping an eye on if chickens grow resistant to this medicine.

Systems biology has been applied at the multi-scale level within the cancer field, improving cancer prevention, diagnosis and enabling precision medicine approaches. While systems biology can expand the knowledge and skills for oncological treatment, it also represents a challenging expedition due to cancer complexity, heterogeneity and diversity not only between different cancer indications, but also in its evolution process through space and time. Here, by characterizing the transcriptional perturbations of the tumor microenvironment induced by oncolytic, we aimed to rationally design a novel armed oncolytic herpes virus.
