Article Synopsis
- The Asian bamboo-feeding leafhopper, Trifida bilobata, has been identified in several European countries for the first time, including Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Serbia.
- The study provides details on the morphology (physical characteristics) and ecology (habitat and behavior) of the specimens collected in these regions.
- This finding expands the known distribution of this species and highlights its potential impact on local ecosystems.
Emeljanvianus hyperprocessatus sp. n. from Italy is described and illustrated.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the outcomes of thyroid surgery performed without drains compared to those with drains, involving 239 patients.
- It was found that the complication rates (like seromas, hematomas, and infections) were similar in both groups, but patients without drains experienced significantly lower pain and shorter hospital stays.
- The conclusion emphasizes that thyroid surgery without drains is safe and does not raise post-operative complication rates while reducing pain, hospital duration, and costs.
Background: Climate change results in an increased occurrence of drought periods, which affect the performance of Mediterranean legumes such as sulla. To evaluate the effects of drought stress on the antioxidant capacity and the accumulation of phytochemicals in sulla shoots, rainfed and drought-stressed plants (RAI) and watered plants with timely vegetative regeneration (STI) were cultivated in parallel in a field experiment and sampled at four different times.
Results: Drought stress strongly and positively affected the antioxidant capacity and the accumulation of polyphenols in sulla shoots, with key differences at wintertime.
IL-32 expression is important for pathogen clearance but detrimental in chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer. T cells are major IL-32 producers in these diseases and key mediators of pathogen and tumor elimination but also autoimmune destruction. However, their contribution to IL-32 biology during immune responses is hardly understood due to several isoforms with divergent inflammatory properties.
