Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 56 different commercial Italian ciders using a technique called GC×GC-TOF-MS to profile semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), marking the first time this approach has been applied to ciders.* -
- The study employed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to correlate chemical compositions with sensory perceptions, confirming that certain compounds significantly influence the ciders' aromas.* -
- The research also demonstrated that using the t-SNE method was more effective than PCA in distinguishing between pear and apple ciders, establishing a foundational analysis for the cider industry in Italy.*
Pectoral nerve block (PECS) is increasingly performed in breast surgery. The study evaluated the clinical impact of these blocks in the postoperative course. In this case-control study, patients undergoing breast surgery with 'enhanced recovery after surgery' pathways were divided into group 1 (57 patients) in whom PECS was performed before general anesthesia, and group 2 (57 patients) in whom only general anesthesia was effected.

- A study assessed how a feedback audit program impacted adherence to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in elective colorectal surgery patients over a period from November 2018 to January 2020.
- Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (before the first audit) and group 2 (after the first audit), with group 2 showing significant improvements such as lower anastomotic leakage rates and better intraoperative temperature management.
- The findings suggest that implementing an audit program can enhance clinical practices and compliance with ERAS protocols, leading to better patient outcomes.
The fungicide tebuconazole (TBCZ) is expected to undergo negligible direct photolysis in surface freshwaters, but it can be degraded by indirect photochemistry. TBCZ mainly reacts with hydroxyl radicals and, to a lesser extent, with the triplet states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM*). Indirect photochemistry is strongly affected by environmental conditions, and TBCZ lifetimes of about one week are expected in sunlit surface waters under favourable circumstances (shallow waters with low concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, DOC, during summer).
