Phytochemical Profile and In Vitro Cytotoxic, Genotoxic, and Antigenotoxic Evaluation of L. Leaf Extract.

L. () is used in Italian folk medicine. This study was performed to determine genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects of leaf extract against mitomycin C (MMC) using an in vitro cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay (CBMN) in the Chinese Hamster Ovarian K1 (CHO-K1) cell line.

Etiology and correlates of alcohol misuse in early midlife.

Background: Early midlife individuals (ages 30-40) experience demographic shifts that may influence the remainder of adult life. Although new or persistent alcohol misuse is common during this period, early midlife is understudied in alcohol use literature. We examined the heritability of alcohol misuse; the associations between alcohol misuse and sociodemographic factors, physical health, and well-being; and whether these associations were robust in cotwin comparisons.

Different Therapeutic Approaches for Dry and Wet AMD.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible loss of central vision in elderly subjects, affecting men and women equally. It is a degenerative pathology that causes progressive damage to the macula, the central and most vital part of the retina. There are two forms of AMD depending on how the macula is damaged, dry AMD and wet or neovascular AMD.

Analysis of single vehicle noise emissions in the frequency domain for two different motorizations.

Environmental noise, primarily attributed to the road transportation system, poses a significant challenge in Europe, impacting the quality of life for millions. Therefore, a thorough characterization of noise emissions from road transportation sources is needed to stem this problem. This investigation aims to fill a gap in the literature regarding single-vehicle noise emissions in the frequency domain.
