Microbiota plays an essential role in fish growth and health and may be influenced by the changing environmental conditions. Here, we explored the microbiota of wild common sole, one of the most important fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea, collected from different areas in the North Adriatic Sea. Our results show that the sole microbiota differs from that of the surrounding environment and among the different body sites (gill, skin and gut).

Although the species is overexploited in the basin, data on its trophic ecology are fragmentary, even though this is one of the most important features within the Ecosystem Approach to Fishery. Here, we analysed temporal variations in the feeding ecology of the species by using an integrated approach of stomach contents and stable isotope analyses coupled with the analysis of some condition indices such as the gonadosomatic and the hepatosomatic indices.

The mechanism of action of fractional carbon dioxide (CO) laser in the management of skin scarring is stimulation of collagen and fibroblasts in the dermis, resulting in remodeling and shrinking of the skin. The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and performance of a new CO laser scanner for treatment of acne scars. The study was carried out on 20 patients of both sexes, with a mean age of 25.
