The fishery biology of the invasive Atlantic blue crab in the Mediterranean Sea outside the eastern sectors of the basin has been only recently investigated. Here we studied the population of in the Lesina Lagoon (Adriatic Sea, SE Italy). In total, 838 crabs were captured monthly between February 2021 and January 2022 using fyke nets.

- A case study discusses a pregnant patient who experienced a bowel obstruction due to intussusception, following a Roux-en-Y bypass surgery in the past.
- The patient suffered from acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, leading to an exploratory laparotomy that revealed an internal hernia and intussusception, which was treated surgically.
- The case emphasizes the importance of considering potential complications like intussusception in pregnant patients with a history of bariatric surgery and the need for prompt medical evaluation in similar situations.
In this work, we describe an easy, simple, and cost-effective method to assess the proteolytic activity of snake venoms. The method is based on measuring the hydrolytic halo formed by gelatin radial hydrolysis following the incubation of venoms on a solid gelatin-agarose plate. Venoms from Bothrops (B.

This plasticity-stability dynamism is regulated by perineuronal nets (PNNs) and is crucial for the proper functioning of the system. Previously, we found a relation between spinal PNNs reduction and maladaptive plasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI), which was attenuated by maintaining PNNs with activity-dependent therapies.

- Emerging research indicates that immune receptors, like CD300f, may play vital roles in processes linked to aging, such as metabolism, inflammation, and cognitive decline.
- CD300f is a unique immune receptor that balances activating and inhibitory signals, impacting inflammation and brain health.
- Studies on CD300f knockout mice showed reduced lifespan and healthspan, along with signs of inflammation, cognitive decline, and altered metabolic processes, highlighting its importance for healthy aging.
