Polyphenols are compounds that have traditionally been related to sensory properties of wines. The synthesis of these secondary metabolites can be influenced by numerous factors, including the edaphoclimatic conditions of the growing area of vines. In this study, the effect of topography and cultivation location on the chemical composition and sensory perception of wines was determined.

We aimed to analyze and define the clinical and laboratory variables in SID patients associated with B-CLPD, identifying overlaps with late-onset PIDs, which could potentially improve diagnostic precision and prognostic assessment. We studied 37 clinical/laboratory variables in 151 SID patients with B-CLPD.

- The study analyzed the fatigue performance of a specific titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) made using laser powder bed fusion, focusing on how defects like keyhole porosity and surface roughness affect its durability.
- Researchers used four-point bending tests and examined various surface roughness levels, discovering that fatigue life varied by 10 cycles depending on these factors.
- The findings included S-N (stress-number of cycles to failure) curves which fitted Basquin's stress-life relation for most defects, indicating that keyhole porosity had less impact on fatigue performance compared to other factors in the alloy's manufacturing process.
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that higher NLR values were significantly associated with increased mortality rates at both 30 days (5.2%) and 180 days (10.8%) post-surgery, especially in patients aged 65 and younger.
- * The findings suggest that preoperative NLR can help predict mortality risk, with both NLR and age being significant factors in determining patient outcomes after emergency surgery.
Background: Bone and joint infections represent a major public health issue due to their increasing prevalence, their functional prognosis and their cost to society. Phage therapy has valuable anti-biofilm properties against prosthetic joint infections (PJI). The aim of this study was to establish the proportion of patients eligible for phage therapy and to assess their clinical outcome judged against all patients presenting with PJI.
