The monitoring of stranded marine mammals represents a strategic method to assess their health, conservation status, and ecological role in the marine ecosystem. Networks worldwide track stranding events for the passive monitoring of mortality patterns, emerging and reemerging pathogens, climate change, and environmental degradation from a One Health perspective. This study summarizes pathogen prevalence data from the Italian Stranding Network (ISN) derived from post-mortem investigations on cetaceans found dead stranded along the Italian coastline between 2015 and 2020.

- The article also highlights potential areas for future research or exploration in the field.
In the last years, 5-pyrazolyl ureas and 5-aminopyrazoles have been investigated for their antiangiogenetic properties and their potential interaction with the ubiquitous Ca binding protein Calreticulin. Based on the structure of the active compounds I and GeGe-3, novel 5-arylamino pyrazoles 2 and 3 were synthesized through a stepwise procedure. In MTT assays, all the new derivatives proved to be non-cytotoxic against eight different tumor cell lines, normal fibroblasts, and endothelial cells.

- Loggerhead sea turtles are being used to help check how much trash they eat in the oceans as part of European environmental protection plans.
- European countries want to make sure that the turtles stay healthy and that trash in their stomachs doesn’t harm them.
- After studying the turtles in Italy for five years, researchers suggest that if more than 33% of turtles have a certain amount of plastic in their stomachs, it's a sign that the oceans need more help.
