Background: The continuous increase in the rate of nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM), the development of several reconstructive techniques and the following introduction of acellular derma matrix (ADM) has revolutionized implant-based breast reconstruction. This study aimed to investigate postoperative complications, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and patients' satisfaction in patients undergoing NSM and breast reconstruction with or without ADM.
Methods: Enrolled patients were divided into three groups: immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) with definitive implant and ADM (Group A), IBR only with definitive prosthesis (Group B), and two-stage breast reconstruction (Group C).
Background: Endophytes mediate the interactions between plants and other microorganisms, and the functional aspects of interactions between endophytes and their host that support plant-growth promotion and tolerance to stresses signify the ecological relevance of the endosphere microbiome. In this work, we studied the bacterial and fungal endophytic communities of olive tree (Olea europaea L.) asymptomatic or low symptomatic genotypes sampled in groves heavily compromised by Xylella fastidiosa subsp.

- Olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS) is a serious plant disease caused by a bacterium, leading to the discovery of potentially resistant olive trees (PRPs) in severely affected areas.
- Research on these PRPs revealed differences in xylem vessel anatomy, such as smaller diameters and increased lignin content, and showed distinct patterns of bacterial distribution using advanced imaging techniques.
- Additionally, metabolomic analysis indicated elevated levels of compounds like salicylic acid and luteolin in PRPs, suggesting that structural and chemical defenses play a crucial role in their resistance to OQDS.
The impact of () subsp. on the environment and economy of Southern Italy has been devastating. To restore the landscape and support the local economy, introducing new crops is crucial for restoring destroyed olive groves, and the almond tree ( Mill.

In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, we examined cohort studies and clinical trials published between 1980 and 2021 that reported, for DSM/ICD-defined EDs, overall ED outcomes (i.e.
