Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of replacing fish oil with olive oil in sea bass diets, both with and without rosemary essential oil supplementation, over a 200-day feeding period.
- No significant differences in growth rates or flesh quality were observed among the different diet groups, but rosemary oil notably reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, extending the fish's shelf life by up to 10 days.
- The sensory quality of the fish fillets changed over time, with cooked fillet scores decreasing while fresh fillet scores increased, and the economic analysis suggested that using olive oil as a partial fish oil replacement is cost-effective.
Article Synopsis
- Dapagliflozin is being studied for its potential to improve heart function in patients with chronic kidney disease, and this research seeks to see if it has similar benefits for those on dialysis.
- The DARE-ESKD-2 trial involves adults on dialysis for over three months and randomly assigns them to receive either dapagliflozin or standard treatment for 24 weeks, measuring various heart function indicators.
- With 80 patients enrolled, the trial aims to gather new insights on how SGLT2 inhibitors like dapagliflozin could be beneficial for patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing dialysis.
Article Synopsis
- - Podolian cattle are well-suited to tough areas in Southern Italy and are raised by letting them graze on natural pastures, which helps their health and the quality of the meat they produce.
- - The study explored how the type of pasture (grassland or woodland) and the age when the bulls were slaughtered (14 or 18 months) affected their weight and the quality of the meat.
- - Results showed that bulls grazing on grasslands were heavier and produced better meat quality at 18 months, and letting the meat age for 9 days improved tenderness without increasing harmful substances.
The term microplastics (MPs) describes a heterogeneous mixture of particles that can vary in size, color, and shape. Once released into the environment, MPs have various toxicological and physical effects on wildlife. The Song Thrush () is a migratory species, staying in Italy in late autumn and winter.

- This study investigates the effectiveness of two surfactant administration methods—INtubate-RECruit-SURfactant-Extubate (IN-REC-SUR-E) and less invasive surfactant administration (LISA)—on improving BPD-free survival in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
- A total of 382 preterm infants, born at 24-27 weeks' gestation and not intubated at birth, will be randomly assigned to either method within the first 24 hours of life. The primary outcome being measured is a combination of death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age.
