Background: Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to control pests and enhance crop yields. However, post-harvest, there are growing concerns about the potential health risks posed by pesticide residues on produce surfaces. Analyzing these residues is challenging due to their typically low concentrations and the potential interference from the complex matrix of the produce's surface.

- - Selective neck dissection (SND) is often preferred for patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) who have clinically node-negative necks, while both SND and comprehensive neck dissection (CND) are used for those with clinically node-positive necks (cN+).
- - A study analyzed 74 OSCC patients with positive neck nodes from 2010-2019, finding no significant differences in overall and disease-free survival between those undergoing CND and SND.
- - The study identified extracapsular spread (ECS) and male sex as independent risk factors for poorer survival outcomes, indicating that both CND and SND could be effective for patients with positive lymph nodes
Snow-farming is one of the adaptive strategies used to face the snow deficit in ski resorts. We studied the impact of a shifting snow-farming technique on a pasture slope in Adelboden, Switzerland. Specifically, we compared plots covered by a compressed snow pile for 1.

J Invest Dermatol
September 2023
Epidermal keratinocytes form the first-line cellular barrier of the skin for protection against external injuries and maintenance of local tissue homeostasis. Expression of ZBP1 was shown to cause necroptotic keratinocyte cell death and skin inflammation in mice. We sought to characterize the relevance of ZBP1 and necroptosis in human keratinocytes and type 1-driven cutaneous acute graft-versus-host disease.
