Article Synopsis
- Acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) are prevalent and lead to serious health issues, particularly in vulnerable populations like the elderly and immunocompromised individuals.
- A study analyzed 3,578 nasopharyngeal swabs and found that 930 samples tested positive for respiratory viruses, with notable variations in viral infections across different age groups.
- The research highlights the importance of understanding the epidemiology of respiratory viruses, the prevalence of co-infections, and the need for rapid diagnostic tests in clinical settings to improve treatment outcomes and decrease hospitalizations.
Background: Infectious agents may be involved in the pathogenesis of vascular disease and related complications. The aim of this review is to analyze the most relevant information on the common infections related to vascular disease, discussing the main pathophysiological mechanisms.
Methods: In the current review, the most important evidence on the issue of infections and vascular disease is searched on Medline, Scopus, and ScienceDirect database.
In this study, the proximate and fatty acid compositions of the muscle tissue of 186 samples of fish belonging to fifteen species of freshwater fish harvested in subalpine lakes (bleak, shad, crucian carp, whitefish, common carp, pike, black bullhead, burbot, perch, Italian roach, roach, rudd, wels catfish, chub and tench) were investigated. Most of the fish demonstrated a lipid content in the fillet lower than 2.0 g 100 g(-1) wet weight (range 0.

After a 27-week grow-out cycle, the diet-induced effects on growth, fatty acid metabolism and final eating quality were assessed. Overall, no effects were noted for growth, feed utilisation or fish biometry, and the fatty acid composition of fish fillets mirrored that of the diets.

Twenty caviar samples from fish fed two experimental diets containing different dietary lipid sources have been analysed for chemical composition, fatty acids and flavour volatile compounds. Fatty acid make up of caviar was only minimally influenced by dietary fatty acid composition.
