LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS data of phyllobilins in apple peels cv. 'Gala' during ripening under shelf-life conditions.

During senescence and ripening, higher plants degrade the green pigment chlorophyll to linear tetrapyrrols, referred to as phyllobilins (PBs). This dataset provides chromatograms and mass spectral data of PBs acquired from methanolic extracts of cv. Gala apple peels at five different shelf life (SL) stages.

Rapid Immunochromatography on Fresh Intestinal Biopsy Is Highly Accurate in Detecting Intestinal Antitransglutaminase Antibodies.

Introduction: Intestinal antitransglutaminase antibodies (I-anti-TG2) are a specific marker of celiac disease (CeD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel application of an immunochromatographic assay referred to as Rapid_AntiTG2 to detect I-anti-TG2 on intestinal biopsy lysate.

Methods: Consecutive pediatric patients referred to a single center for elective upper endoscopy were enrolled.

Chlorophyll breakdown during fruit ripening: Qualitative analysis of phyllobilins in the peel of apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) cv. 'Gala' during different shelf life stages.

Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is an important process of fruit ripening, mediated by the pheophorbide a oxygenase/phyllobilin (PaO/PB) pathway. Chl is catabolized to linear tetrapyrrolic phyllobilins that resemble the bile pigments. Determining the optimal harvest date is of pivotal importance for the fruit industry.

Pediatric Emergency Cases in the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic in a Tertiary-Level Emergency Setting.

Aim: Emergency cases are uncommon events in the pediatric emergency setting. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by describing the number and type of pediatric emergency cases that arrived at the pediatric emergency department (PED) of a tertiary-level children's hospital in Italy.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study, collecting the main features of pediatric emergency patients who arrived during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020-February 2021) compared to the pre-pandemic period (March 2016-February 2020).
