Article Synopsis
- Childhood cancers can present symptoms similar to rheumatic diseases, making accurate diagnosis crucial to avoid inappropriate treatment that could worsen outcomes.
- A multicenter study in Italy collected data from nearly 2000 patients under 16 diagnosed with either cancer or juvenile idiopathic arthritis to identify and differentiate musculoskeletal symptoms.
- Out of 1277 cancer patients, 25% exhibited musculoskeletal symptoms, with malignant bone tumors showing the highest prevalence, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis to distinguish between cancer and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) paradigms, using non-invasive approaches, can provide relevant findings about brain aging. The attention has been primarily focused on neurodegenerative diseases, while little or nothing has been done to differentiate physiology from pathology. The present study aimed to test diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional MRI (fMRI) metrics to analyze physiological age-related changes in rats at myelin structure and activation level; findings were validated by ex vivo histology.

- The study focuses on the production of Amarone wine, exploring how postharvest infections by the Botrytis cinerea fungus can negatively affect the quality and yield of grapes used in the process.
- Researchers tested mild ozonization treatments on grapes during the withering phase to see if it would improve berry characteristics and combat the fungus.
- Results showed that low concentrations of ozone accelerated the grape withering process and inhibited fungal growth, potentially leading to better-quality Amarone wine in the future.
