Article Synopsis
- Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are commonly used for pest control and have been shown to affect carnivores, particularly small and mesocarnivores, but the impact on large carnivores like wolves has not been thoroughly studied.
- A study in central and northern Italy found that 61.8% of tested grey wolves showed exposure to ARs, with increasing levels of contamination linked to more urbanized areas and rising trends over time, especially post-2020.
- The results highlight a significant conservation threat for large carnivores, indicating the need for urgent monitoring of AR contamination to protect species like wolves from unintentional poisoning in human-altered environments.
Background: There is growing support for considering Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) as an effective approach to improving physical and psychological symptoms in eating disorders (ED), but additional evidence is needed. The current study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a DMT intervention for inpatients with ED during an in-hospital rehabilitation program for ED in reducing emotion dysregulation and alexithymia and improving interoceptive awareness.
Methods: Forty-nine consecutive inpatient young women with ED (aged between 18 and 34 years) recruited from a clinical center for the rehabilitation of obesity and ED received four group sessions of DMT intervention.
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a well-known carcinogenic compound that may contaminate milk and dairy products. Thus, with the regulation 1881/2006, the European Union established a concentration limit for AFM1 in milk and insisted on the importance of defining enrichment factors (EFs) for cheese. In 2019, the Italian Ministry of Health proposed four different EFs based on cheese's moisture content on a fat-free basis (MMFB) for bovine dairy products.
