- This study explored how diets including extruded linseed and algae extract impact female rabbits' reproductive performance, milk production, and gut health.
- Thirty-six New Zealand White rabbits were split into three groups: a control group on a standard diet, a group receiving 5% linseed, and a group receiving 5% linseed plus 0.2% algae extract.
- Results showed no major dietary impacts on feed intake, body weight, or gastrointestinal health, but there was a significant reduction in perinatal and pre-weaning mortality linked to the omega-3 enriched diets, suggesting potential benefits that warrant further investigation.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left behind mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders among survivors. This study assessed the efficacy of spa therapy in enhancing psychological well-being and sleep quality in individuals with chronic arthro-rheumatic, respiratory, and otorhinolaryngological diseases, including COVID-19 recoverees. Our prospective observational study included 144 Caucasian subjects from three Italian spas who underwent a 2-week spa therapy cycle, involving balneotherapy and/or inhalation treatments.

Purpose: To establish a normative database for vascular density (VD) of radial peripapillary capillary plexus (RPC) in healthy Caucasian subjects.
Methods: 633 healthy Caucasian subjects underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, best corrected visual acuity measurement with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus examination, and macular and optic nerve head (ONH) structural optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Introduction: Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have been shown to improve disease outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. They may also impair the immune response to vaccines, including the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. However, available data on both the intrinsic immune effects of DMTs and their influence on cellular response to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine are still incomplete.
