Article Synopsis
- - The review analyzed human cases of Hymenolepis diminuta across Europe up to July 2022, focusing on publications with demographic, clinical, or epidemiological data, including a specific case from Belgrade.
- - A total of 104 confirmed cases were identified, with nearly half originating from Mediterranean countries; common symptoms among symptomatic children included diarrhea, abdominal pain, and behavioral changes.

The aim of the study was to investigate the biological activity and chemical composition of Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. LC-PDA/MS analyses for the aqueous extracts (A1-stem, leaves and flowers, A2-leaves and flowers) and ethyl-acetate extracts (E1-stem, leaves and flowers, E2-leaves and flowers) obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction enabled the identification of thirty-four compounds.
