Article Synopsis
- The study examines medical school lecture materials through a diversity lens, focusing on how different skin tones are represented in images of skin pathologies.
- It analyzed 560 images from lectures on skin conditions, finding that only 17.14% represented dark skin tones while 78.04% were light tones.
- The research suggests improving the diversity of images used in medical education to better prepare students for diagnosing skin issues across all ethnicities, ultimately enhancing patient care.
Citronellol (CT) is a monoterpene alcohol present in the essential oil of plants of the genus and exhibits diverse pharmacological activities. The aim of the current study was to investigate the hepatoprotective potential of CT against ethanol-induced toxicity in HepG2 cell lines. Silymarin (SIL) was used as a standard drug.

Article Synopsis
- Paspalidium flavidum (watercrown grass) is traditionally used for liver and stomach issues, and its aqueous methanol extract (AMEPF) was studied for its protective effects on the liver and stomach in animal models.
- The study showed that AMEPF improved liver functions and blood lipid profiles in rats with liver damage from paracetamol, and significantly reduced gastric lesions and acidity in rats with aspirin-induced ulcers.
- GC-MS analysis confirmed the presence of antioxidant compounds like oleic acid in AMEPF, supporting its potential health benefits related to liver and stomach protection.
This paper looks at experiential feedback and the technical and scientific challenges tied to the MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE cruise that took place in the Mediterranean Sea in spring 2019. This cruise proposes an innovative approach to investigate the accumulation and transfer of inorganic and organic contaminants within the planktonic food webs. We present detailed information on how the cruise worked, including 1) the cruise track and sampling stations, 2) the overall strategy, based mainly on the collection of plankton, suspended particles and water at the deep chlorophyll maximum, and the separation of these particles and planktonic organisms into various size fractions, as well as the collection of atmospheric deposition, 3) the operations performed and material used at each station, and 4) the sequence of operations and main parameters analysed.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the uroprotective and hepatoprotective potentials of in cyclophosphamide-induced interstitial cystitis and paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity rat model, respectively. Nociception, bladder weight, vesical vascular permeability, Gray's criteria for edema and hemorrhage, and levels of nitric oxide, catalase, and glutathione were estimated and studied in the cystitis model.
