Reuse of reclaimed wastewater (RWW) in agriculture represents one of the key strategies to promote for reducing the pressures on water sources, as also fostered by the EU governance. Indeed, the European Regulation 741/2020 on water reuse, entered into force in 2023, was issued with the aim to extend the reuse of treated water in agriculture under safe conditions. It establishes the minimum quality requirements; it also foresees the possibility to add additional requirements, especially for contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), based on "scientific evidence" and the risk assessment.

Early detection of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is crucial as untreated lesions can be life-threatening. We describe the case of a fortuitous ultrasound (US) detection of AAA by a trainee which allowed two subsequent "domino" diagnoses. A 69 y.

Objective: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency in childhood, often leading to neuronal damage and long-term outcomes. The study aims to identify barriers in the pre-hospital and in-hospital management of community-onset pediatric SE and to evaluate the effectiveness of pediatric scores on outcomes prediction.

Methods: This monocentric observational retrospective cohort study included patients treated for community-onset pediatric SE in a tertiary care hospital between 2010 and 2021.

Background: Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are more than 500 different rare congenital disorders of the immune system characterized by susceptibility to infections and immune dysregulation. The significant overlap of the clinical features among the different forms may lead to diagnostic delay. High throughput sequencing techniques may allow a timely genetic definition.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study is the first to analyze the presence of anthropogenic microparticles in franciscana dolphins, the most endangered cetaceans in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, using samples from ten female dolphins collected between 2013 and 2023.
  • - Analysis of the intestinal content and wall tissues revealed that all samples contained anthropogenic particles, primarily in the form of fibers, with various types of polymers like polyester and polypropylene identified through advanced spectroscopic techniques.
  • - The research indicated differences in the types and colors of microplastics found in various sections of the dolphin's intestines, highlighting the extent of microplastic absorption in these endangered animals.
