Introduction: Fusobacterium necrophorum is a rare but significant cause of septic arthritis, typically following oropharyngeal infections in adolescents. This anaerobic pathogen, commonly associated with Lemierre's syndrome, can lead to joint infections, posing risks for severe morbidity if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Awareness and timely intervention are essential for preventing long-term joint damage.

The present article presents a case report and literature review concerning the subspecies (SEZ), a rare zoonotic pathogen in humans. The case involves a 62-year-old man with no prior heart disease, presenting with endocarditis, pneumonia, and meningitis following close contact with a horse. The patient underwent urgent aortic valve replacement due to severe valvular damage caused by the infection.

Recently, the fungus secondary metabolite cyclotetrapetide c[Trp-Phe-D-Pro-Phe] (CJ-15,208) and its derivatives deserved some attention for their unusual structure and distinctive in vitro and in vivo activity. These tryptophan-containing noncationic opioid peptides can be truly regarded as versatile picklocks capable of activating all opioid receptors. Intriguingly, minimal modification of the potent κ-opioid receptor (KOR) agonist c[D-Trp-Phe-Gly-β-Ala] () yielded c[D-Trp-Phe-β-Ala-β-Ala] (), the first KOR-specific negative allosteric modulator (NAM) reported to-date.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed 56 different commercial Italian ciders using a technique called GC×GC-TOF-MS to profile semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), marking the first time this approach has been applied to ciders.* -
  • The study employed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to correlate chemical compositions with sensory perceptions, confirming that certain compounds significantly influence the ciders' aromas.* -
  • The research also demonstrated that using the t-SNE method was more effective than PCA in distinguishing between pear and apple ciders, establishing a foundational analysis for the cider industry in Italy.*

Unlabelled: Increasingly, information technology facilitates the storage and management of data useful for risk analysis and event prediction. Studies on data extraction related to occupational health and safety are increasingly available; however, due to its variability, the construction sector warrants special attention. This review is conducted under the research programs of the National Institute for Occupational Accident Insurance (Inail).
