Aims: In this work, the 'hi-tech' complex biocleaning and restoration of the 14th-century fresco Triumph of Death (5·6 × 15·0 m) at the Camposanto Monumental Cemetery (Pisa, Italy) is reported. Since 2000, the restoration based on the biological cleaning of noble medieval frescoes, has been successfully utilized in this site.
Methods And Results: The novelty of this study is the two-steps biocleaning process using Pseudomonas stutzeri A29 viable cells, previously applied for recovering other valuable frescoes.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on predicting annual Quercus pollen concentrations in the Castilla and León region of Spain to understand health impacts and ecological relationships.
- The researchers collected 8 years of pollen data from 13 sites and used a new technique called the Concentric Ring Method (CRM) to analyze the relationship between airborne pollen and land use.
- They found that shrubland and "dehesa" areas had the strongest correlation with Quercus pollen, and that the effects of emission sources on pollen could be observed up to 43 km away, highlighting the importance of local landscape features and weather patterns in pollen dispersion.
Introduction: Exposure to airborne pollen from certain plants can cause allergic disease, but allergens can also be found in non-pollen-bearing fractions of ambient air. This may explain why the allergic response in susceptible patients does not always coincide with the presence and magnitude of airborne pollen counts. Plantago pollen is an important cause of pollinosis in northern Mediterranean countries, but it is difficult to determine its incidence in allergies because Plantago pollen appears in the atmosphere at the same time as grass pollen.

The prevalence of allergy to Platanus is currently moderate, although the percentage of monosensitized patients is low. This hinders accurate interpretation of the relationship between the amount of pollen inhaled and the patient's symptoms.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the antimicrobial activity of a silk fabric (MICROAIR DermaSilk) coated with alkoxysilane quaternary ammonium with durable antimicrobial properties (AEGIS AEM 5572/5) in children affected by atopic dermatitis (AD).
