This paper addresses the critical and urgent need to reduce food losses and waste (FLW) resulting from stringent marketing standards. It proposes a comprehensive and actionable framework grounded in the three pillars of sustainability-environmental, economic, and social-to effectively evaluate FLW across the entire food supply chain. The paper involves a thorough review of existing marketing standards, including research on FLW due to marketing standards, and proposes the implementation of targeted key actions within four key food sectors: fruits, vegetables, dairy, and cereals.

Central motor conduction time (CMCT) was calculated in 50 patients and 50 controls by recording muscle evoked potentials from upper limb muscles. The level of spinal cord compression was determined according to the pattern of CMCT prolongation and compared with the level disclosed by MRI.
