Marine Protected Areas are considered key tools for conservation of coastal ecosystems. However, many reserves are characterized by several problems mainly related to inadequate zonings that often do not protect high biodiversity and propagule supply areas precluding, at the same time, economic important zones for local interests. The Gulf of Naples is here employed as a study area to assess the effects of inclusion of different conservation features and costs in reserve design process.

Article Synopsis
  • Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a common issue in premature infants, and this study investigates the effects of nutrition, specifically human maternal milk versus formula, on its development.
  • The research analyzed data from two multicenter trials in Italy that focused on preventing infections in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants while also screening for ROP.
  • The findings indicated that infants fed exclusively with maternal milk showed potential for reduced risk of developing ROP compared to those fed with preterm formula, although further analysis was required for confirmation.
