Article Synopsis
- Facial pigmented skin lesions are common, especially in South-European countries, and can be either malignant or benign; diagnosing them can be challenging, even for specialists like dermatologists.* -
- A study was conducted to assess the impact of a one-day dermoscopy training course on ophthalmologists, focusing on their ability to evaluate periorbital pigmented lesions through clinical and dermoscopic analysis.* -
- Results showed that before the training, ophthalmologists had an accuracy of 63.7%, but after the course, their sensitivity improved, indicating a positive effect of the training on their diagnostic skills.*
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) is an enzyme involved in the drug resistance of many bacteria against most of the widely adopted antibiotics, such as penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Consequently, inhibiting NDM-1 swiftly has gained significant interest as a strategy to counteract this bacterial defense mechanism, thereby restoring the effectiveness of antibiotics. Among the inhibitors tested against the enzyme, ebselen () showed particularly promising results.

- The study investigates the effects of feeding dairy cows with enriched olive cake on the nutritional and sensory characteristics of Caciocavallo cheese from Sicily.
- ECO cheese (made from cows fed with olive cake) had higher levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, and a healthier fat profile compared to CTR cheese.
- Microbiological analysis showed both cheeses were safe, with ECO cheese having a more diverse microbial community and being more favored by consumers for its appearance and taste.
